How to determine what protocol an LNVR is using to send video to client workstations

The LNRNI.exe utility can be used to define how a client requests that LNVRs attempt to send video (protocols, port ranges, etc).  The LNVR communicates using the method(s) requested.

- Open C:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenel\LnrNI.exe on the client. If either Use Multicast or Use UDP/IP are selected, the LNVR may be using either of these to transmit video.


To determine what specific protocol a LNVR is using to send video to client workstations:

1) Click the Start button, and then select Run.

2) Type perfmon, and the click [OK]. The Performance window opens.

3) Click the X icon to remove monitors and clean up the working area.

4) Click the + icon to add channels. The Add Counters window opens.

5) In the Performance Object drop-down, select "LNR.Channel."

6) In the Select counters from list listing window, select "Sent Multicast Bytes/sec", "Sent Multicast UDP/sec" and "Sent TCP/IP Bytes/sec".  Click [Add] after selecting each one.

7) Click [Close].

8) In the Performance window, there is a graph with all three types of transmission listed in it. The one that has a value is the protocol the LNVR is using to send video to the client workstations.
