Fluke Networks Launches New Version of EtherScope Series II Network Assistant with One-Touch Health Audit to Identify Network Problems Instantly

“Many tools available today to identify network problems use multiple programs with many disparate views and provide only limited root cause analysis, said Gary Ger, vice president of marketing, Fluke Networks. “The result is slow and costly troubleshooting and, too frequently, the escalation of problem resolution to senior engineers. The EtherScope Health Audit test changes the game.”

With one click, Health Audit measures, evaluates and scores dozens of network attributes and displays the results on one screen using clear status icons. If problems are identified, intelligent drill-downs guide the user to the root cause. The result is quick problem identification and fast problem resolution.

In addition to Health Audit, EtherScope version 5 comes equipped with a new streamlined user interface - a simplified set of icons representing the most frequently used EtherScope tests resulting in faster access to key information and simplified troubleshooting. To measure critical network performance parameters of throughput, frame loss, delay and jitter, EtherScope version 5 incorporates the ProVision™ test. The ProVision test is an advanced test methodology relevant for private network operators and carriers, going beyond the basics to offer asymmetric testing, multiple streams, easy operation, easy-to-read results and a 4X minimum improvement in testing speed.
