All the tools you need to manage your LANtastic network Increase your productivity The LANtastic Utility Pack increases your productivity and peace of mind. If, say, you forget to back up some files before going home or while traveling, you can use the LANtastic Utility Pack to dial in to your office PC and back up the files. While you're connected to your PC you can also monitor your network; plus, you can access any Windows or MS- DOS application or data files on your PC hard drive. Carbon Copy Carbon Copy software allows you to dial in to your office PC or another PC on the LAN, review documents, update spreadsheets, edit reports, check your e-mail messages and transfer files between your remote PC and your local PC. Carbon Copy supports most popular modems, contains a new terminal emulator so you can communicate with services such as CompuServe, and uses comprehensive security features that include password protection, automatic callback, screen and keyboard disabling and event logging. It's also easy to use, offering a true Windows environment with push-button interface, point and click, drag and drop functionality and on-line Windows help. LANtastic Management Services/Basic With LANtastic Management Services/Basic, you can view your LANtastic network on a single screen. This easy-to-install management tool identifies server and workstation devices across the network, graphically shows your network's floorplan, and regularly polls the network to monitor the status of PCs and connections. It reports preset threshold or alarm conditions so that when these are exceeded, you can quickly respond to a developing problem. Use LANtastic Management Services to check network statistics, store results in a database, import network maps or floorplans, and monitor network performance. The network manager's view instantly zooms from a global wide-area network to a building, department, workgroup or even a single node, with a detailed status in every view. Through its graphic user interface (GUI) feature, which color-codes the status of nodes, you can easily spot a computer that has a problem (red), has potential problems (yellow), or is performing satisfactorily (green). You also can compare current settings to the program's historical log, so you can see how changes in the system configuration affect the network workload. ArtiSave The first Windows network back-up and recovery system for the LANtastic network operating system, ArtiSave for minicartridge tape drives is an automatic solution for protecting your entire network's data. The program comes with preset back-up and restore routines, or you can tell the ArtiSave Scheduler exactly which servers to back up, when and how often. You define how you want to back up your files by using four different modes: complete, differential, incremental or selective. When the back-up is complete, ArtiSave provides a detailed status report. Use ArtiSave to optimize hard drives by locating dormant files, archiving them to tape and then deleting them from the drive. This software-only kit is for use with the Colorado Memory Systems Jumbo 250 tape drive, and Mountain TD-250 and SideCar tape drives. ArtiSave's Librarian feature maintains a cross-referenced inventory of every backed-up file and the tape on which you can find it, so you can quickly find the files you wish to restore. It tracks every disk, directory, subdirectory and file, and the last time they were backed up. It identifies a set of files from any date you specify. If you're unsure of a file name, the Librarian searches for wildcard file names. The Rescue feature completely restores your entire hard drive. If your drive crashes, Rescue returns installed applications and the rest of your lost files to their appropriate places on your system. If your original PC is out of commission, it transfers your applications and files to another compatible computer. ArtiCom ArtiCom modem-sharing software allows you get the most out of your office resources by sharing unlimited modems or any serial, bi-directional device (up to 32 per server) on any NetBIOS-compatible network. The ArtiCom system features built-in terminal emulation, an automatic dialing directory, multiple upload and download protocols, and extensive security features. ArtiCom provides INT14 protocol support, so users can utilize third-party communications packages. Gain versatility and power Once you've installed these powerful, versatile utilities on your PC, you'll wonder how you managed your LANtastic network without them. You'll gain instant insight into the workings of your LAN, be able to share modems, employ automatic routines that back up your data, and you'll be able to do all of these and more from a remote location. The user-friendly LANtastic Utility Pack will help you maximize the features of your LANtastic network.
