Latest Updates (for NetDecoder 9.12.5.0):
|
| 1. |
The NetDecoder software now supports
Rockwell Automation's Data Highway Plus to USB Cable
(1784-U2DHP).
1784-U2DHP DH+ to USB Interface cable |
| 2. |
Customers using the DL-3500 to interface to DH+ buses can
now use Frontline's RS-232 ComProbe II to capture the RS-232
serial output from the DL-3500. |
| 3. |
The NetDecoder software supports the new 'Ethernet ComProbe'.
The Ethernet ComProbe is an Ethernet tap that can passively
monitor Ethernet traffic without the need for managed
switches or making complex changes to network configuration.
The tap sends captured data to the analysis PC via a USB
port.

| 4. |
The NetDecoder software includes updated protocol decoders
for the IEC 60870-5-101, 60870-5-103 and 60870-5-104
protocols. These decoders are now a standard part of the
NetDecoder product. |
| 5. |
Modbus decoders have been updated to handle special radio
characters. |
| 6. |
This version also fixes some important timestamp bugs
related to the RS-232 ComProbe II and the RS-422/485
ComProbe. |
