CommView Remote Agent

CommView Remote Agent is a reliable tool designed to monitor multi-segments LANs, the transfer speed and buffer utilization. The utility comes as an extension to CommView and enables it to capture packets from remote stations.

CommView is a reliable tool that allows you to monitor the network traffic, speed, buffer usage and various other parameters for any PC or group of PCs on an LAN. CommView Remote Agent can extend the capabilities of CommView by allowing it to capture remote packets as well.

In other words, the extension allows CommView users to gather data from any computer on which it is installed. The connection is established through an IP address and a specific port that CommView is listening to. Thus, you can capture network traffic data recorded on a remote station, regardless of the computer’s physical location.

The extension can be installed as a standalone program on any number of computers and communicate with the corresponding instance of CommView.

Once installed on a computer, CommView Remote Agent runs in the background. You may easily open its interface and change certain options, such as the port it listens to and the client IP address. These parameters are required to connect to the CommView instance that collects the data.

The Remote Agent tool displays the number of packets/bytes transferred, as well as the percentage of buffer usage in its interface. You can start, stop or pause the service, plus set a password for authenticating clients that connect to the Remote Agent.

CommView Remote Agent is simple to install and to use. The program runs in the background and you may open its interface to configure the IP address and port corresponding to the CommView client. You need to make sure that the firewall and additional PC security levels are properly set to permit the data transfer.
