LAN connection status display
First Claim
1. A LAN connection monitoring system, comprising:
- a plurality of LAN connection terminals for connecting the monitoring system to a plurality of computer systems, transmitting binary signals between the monitoring system and the computer systems;
a display for displaying activity information of LAN connection terminals;
signal detection means connected to each of the LAN connection terminals for detecting any binary signal transmission at each of the LAN connection terminals;
calculating means for calculating a transfer rate of the binary signal transmission at a LAN connection terminal;
signal relaying means for relaying the detected binary signal transmission to the calculating means; and
displaying means for displaying the calculated transfer rate on the display.
