Standalone Configuration

In a standalone configuration, an external machine with Network Trace for OS/2 installed is plugged into an existing LAN segment. Trace data is gathered on this machine only; no installation is necessary on the remaining machines in the network.

This solution may be ideal for very small networks or for IT professionals who may be required to trace infrequently on various networks. The main disadvantage to this approach is its inconvenience for larger networks with geographically remote segments. The external machine (and therefore its operator) must be physically present at the network segment being traced. A better solution in this case would be the integrated configuration.
