2) LOYTEC System Diagnostics (LSD) Tool now is freeware

The LSD System Diagnostic Tool (LSD Tool) is a MS Windows based software, which uses the diagnostics features of LOYTEC's network infrastructure devices to collect and display statistics data and to read the status information from any generic EIA-709 node. Furthermore, it allows to configure the LOYTEC devices via the network and to update the firmware image of the different devices from remote. The LSD Tool runs on all LOYTEC network interface cards, including the NIC-852, which even allows to execute all operations over an IP connection. With the LSD-Tool you get an overview about channel bandwidth, CRC errors, missed preambles etc. So you get a first impression about the quality of the network. The LSD tool does not replace the LOYTEC Protocol Analyzer (LPA), but it gives an abstract overview about the performance of the communication and it helps identifying communication problems in an early state following a detailed analysis with the LPA. We feel confident that with the LSD-Tool LOYTEC offers an added value while setting up and maintaining a control network.
