· Serial PPP View Visualizer
Device Monitoring Studio version 5.22 introduces new data visualizer – Serial PPP View. It can be used to decode Point-to-Point Protocol packets, as well as a number of packets that can be encapsulated in PPP packets. The current version of the visualizer supports the following protocols:
1. Novell IPX
2. OSI Network Layer Control Protocol
3. DECnet Phase IV Control Protocol
4. Appletalk Control Protocol
5. Link Control Protocol
6. Password Authentication Protocol
7. Link Quality Report
8. Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
9. Multilink Protocol
10. Compression Control Protocol
11. Extensible Authentication Protocol
12. NETBIOS Protocol
· High-Speed operation mode

The High-Speed mode is automatically enabled for a session, for which only the Statistics visualizer is configured. In this mode the amount of data analyzed by the application is reduced significantly, leading to more accurate performance measurements. This mode is useful if you have a device with extremely high transfer rate (more than 16 MB/s) and want to measure its performance.

· Automatic Data Policy Management

There has always been a feature in the Device Monitoring Studio, called "Data Processing". It could be and still can be used to control the data processing policy. You can trade disk space usage for a session history length. More disk space you allow Device Monitoring Studio to use, more older session packets are available for you.
Version 5.22 introduces an automatic data policy management for monitoring sessions. If only Logging and/or Statistics visualizer are configured for the monitoring session, it is forced to low disk space usage policy. If any other visualizer is configured for the monitoring session, it falls back to the setting, defined by the user.
