10. Trending key parameters on your Network
Display a specific attribute of a portion or all devices on
the network to quickly find the source of a problem.

11.  Duplicate IP and MAC addresses
 Intermittent losses caused be noise or vibration
 Devices starting to degrade in performance
 Accidental loops in cabling located in remote electrical enclosures
 Foreign devices connecting to the network (contractor Laptops)
 Periodic shorts bursts of broadcast traffic triggered by other devices
 Devices accidentally moved to a different port
 Cable and connector problems based on crushed, bent , or improperly
grounded cable
 Redundancy failures using Ring or RSPT
 Communication module lockups or failures based on power surges
IntraVUE has proven to be effective in identifying the following
problems which are contained in the Diagnostic Reports delivered in
minutes by Email.
