Network Computer Monitor

This tool displays a table with the status of each configured NC. The attributes of an NC that can be monitored are:

• Host Name

• MAC Address

• IP Address

• IP Lease

• Lease Time Expiration

• State, Up Time

• Home Directory

• Home Directory Server

• DNS Domain

• NIS Domain

• Hardware Platform

• JavaOS Version

• JavaOS Build

• RAM Size (kilobytes)

• Desktop Application

The NC Monitor only runs in a JDK1.1 compliant browser with RMI capabilities.

You can select as many attributes to monitor and as many NCs as you want. The static information is retrieved from the DHCP configuration file server; the dynamic information is from polling each NC for its current state.
