14 Configuring the Compaq ProLiant 5000 for Microsoft Windows NT Environments s The NETFLX3.SYS driver supports additional Performance Monitor counters. Compaq has developed a Performance Monitor utility that installs or removes counters that support the Compaq NetFlex-3 Performance Monitor DLL. This utility allows you to visually measure performance when you select the Windows NT Performance Monitor utility PERFMON.EXE. The counters that you select provide detailed information about transmit and receive operations for the Compaq NetFlex-3 Controller. These counters are helpful in understanding the performance characteristics for a particular NetFlex-3 Controller and can help pinpoint potential network performance bottlenecks. Compaq Advanced Network Control Utility This new application uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows a user to install, configure, update, and monitor the status of all Compaq network controllers containing the TLAN chip set. The Compaq Advanced Network Control Utility includes features such as: s Setting up a pair of controllers for duplexing as well as stand-alone network controllers. s Ability to graphically monitor status and configure stand-alone and redundant network controllers. s Ability to reset the network controllers and switch active controllers instantaneously in a controller pair. s Ability to change the controller pair operating mode and primary controller settings instantaneously. The Compaq Advanced Network Control Utility uses the NETFLX3.EXE file to configure network controllers for redundancy or stand-alone configurations. Also, you can use the NETFLX3.EXE file to view controller status or network statistics.
