CommView Remote Agent

CommView Remote Agent is a super handy tool that helps you keep an eye on multiple LAN segments, checking things like transfer speed and how much buffer you're using. This nifty utility works as an extension of CommView, letting it capture packets from remote computers.

What Does CommView Remote Agent Do?

So basically, CommView is a reliable software that lets you monitor network traffic, speed, buffer usage, and other important details for any PC or group of PCs on a local area network (LAN). When you add the Remote Agent, it takes your monitoring to another level by allowing you to grab data from remote machines too!

How It Works

This extension means that if you've got the Remote Agent installed on a computer, it can send data back to your main CommView setup. The connection happens through an IP address and a specific port that CommView listens to. This way, you can capture network traffic from any remote station without worrying about where it's located physically.

Easily Set Up and Use

You can install the Remote Agent as its own program on several computers at once. Once it's up and running in the background on your devices, you can easily open its interface whenever you need to tweak some settings like the listening port or client IP address. These little adjustments help you connect smoothly with your CommView instance collecting all that data.

User-Friendly Interface

The interface of the Remote Agent shows cool info like how many packets or bytes have been transferred and what percentage of your buffer is being used. Plus, you have control—start, stop, or pause the service whenever needed! You can even set a password to make sure only authorized clients connect to your Remote Agent.

No Hassle Installation

The great thing about CommView Remote Agent is how easy it is to install and use! Just make sure that any firewalls or extra security settings are adjusted so they don’t block data transfer. With everything set up right, you'll be monitoring like a pro in no time!
