    Network Docent scans and visualizes the network environment and is giving simple insight into all devices and cable connections of a network based system.

    This Software can help you to identify network errors and find quick solutions to fix them.

    Step-by-step guide

     

    1) Open or install Network Docent

     

    The DICENTIS will install this Network Docent automatically if not unselected.

    If you want to update an existing version you first have to uninstall the current version and reboot your PC between. With the link below you will find the current Software to perform the testing.

    2) Run the Network Docent

     

    Please note you can only scan in one sub net. If you have different VLANs with multiple sub nets you can only scan within one VLAN where the Docent is placed. Also you are limited to 50 network infrastructure devices (for example switch) and another 450 end points. (max 500 devices)

    In the following example 4 separate scans must be done to check each branch of the DICENTIS system and they cannot displayed as whole in one. Future software improvements to solve that is in planing.
