LPA Protocol Analyzer
The family of LPA Protocol Analyzers listens on LonWorks
®
(EIA-709) or
L
onWorks
®
over IP (EIA-852) networks and displays all recorded packets on
a PC screen. Thanks to its extended recording capability even intermittent
faults can be detected and recorded. The interpretation of an LNS
®
database
allows the display of meaningful node names and network variable names.
Together with L-IP Internet Routers or NIC709-IP network interfaces, the
LPA software can record packets even from remote network channels.
The intuitive and easy to use LPA software runs on all NIC709’s and the LPA-
IP software runs on the NIC-852. Each LPA or LPA-IP software license must
be registered for one NIC.
For remote protocol analysis, the LPA software can be registered for an
NIC709-IP, and the LPA-IP software can be registered for a NIC-852 to
analyze the channel behind an L-IP or a NIC709-IP. The PC running either
the LPA or the LPA-IP software is connected through its Ethernet port over
the Intranet/Internet/VPN with the NIC709-IPs or the L-IP routers. Up to
8 channels can be analyzed concurrently using NIC709-IPs and up to 32
channels can be analyzed using L-IPs. The software runs under Windows
2000/XP.
