DEKSI Network Administrator

DEKSI Network Administrator permits advanced users to oversee and manage their network in an interactive working environment that features tools to draw LAN maps with multiple hosts, view system information and generate reports. It comes packed with many handy functions and customization settings.

Classical-looking interface with an interactive layout

The GUI does not stand out in looks, yet it is easy to navigate. Drawing tools are provided to easily put together network maps. For example, this can be done by running a wizard where it is necessary to specify some elementary information, such as scanning method for LAN computers (scan IP addresses or import PCs from the network neighborhood). The whole map can be previewed in a small frame separated from the main one.

Design the network map and create a logical structure

It is possible to arrange the PCs in any order in the map and add other types of hosts such as printer, server, router, laptop, firewall, building, satellite receiver, handheld, Playstation, or media player. SNMP details can be configured while comments and images can be added.

View, examine and export network data

Components can be connected with lines and it is possible to draw new areas with custom settings pertaining to text, comment, border and selection color, width, and so on. The list with all inserted hosts can be examined in a separate window and exported to file. What's more, you can obtain a lot of system information on a selected workstation, such as resources, connections, accounts, groups, services and devices, ports, processes, and installed applications.

Essential networking utilities and commands

DEKSI Network Administrator lets you use the Ping or Traceroute commands, send messages, shut down, power up or reboot a computer, investigate charts with the response time in different time intervals, quickly align map objects horizontally, vertically or in a circle, switch to full screen mode, customize visual map settings, resort to an SNMP trap receiver, and much more.

It had minimal impact on PC performance, running on low CPU and RAM. In a nutshell, DEKSI Network Administrator proves to be a resourceful software utility dedicated to those looking to better manage their LAN, obtain, inspect and produce useful information.
