Inventory report and schedule task

Static and Dynamic Map view with visual indicators Device and link status via color code icons

Fault management Events classification and Alarm Threshold settings

Visible, audible or email alerts

Performance Dashboard with Historical view Rely on PostgreSQL database to record device status

Print, save or export to Excel file

Node based license Free demo version: 4 node, full feature


Client Server Architecture

Server Specification Windows Server 2003 and 2008

Quad core 3 GHz CPU (Intel Xeon® E3-1220 or equivalent)

4 to 8 GB RAM

500 to 750 GB single partition HD

PostgreSQL database v9.2.2

Up to 1000 managed nodes and 5 concurrent sessions

Client Specifications Any Web browser supporting Java applications

Google Chrome 25 or later (Recommended by Proxim)

Internet Explorer 9 or later

Mozilla Firefox 19 or later

Opera 11.5 or later

Safari 5.1.7 (7534.57.2)

Direct HTTP route to nodes for configuration


License and Multi-User Login

License is managed via License file Each installation generates a unique key string

AU20bEk1XcPFYLgvkl1W6pjFAYt/G1akbd4uJ79qnwk4 fduK7FyVRaL3NX12C5Ks3bDkjwd9tk1+HTizYxMfEQ==

License file is generated based on this key

Multiple accounts with different profiles can be created

Each profile defines possible operation Profile can be time limited

Up to five users can log-in simultaneously

It is possible to reject second log-ins with identical username

List of connected users is available Administrator can force user logout or lock account


Automatic or Manual discovery

Device discovery and management relies on SNMP v1/2c or secure SNMP v3 protocol

Multiple discovery groups can be created Each group can be discovered once or on a regular basis

Periodic discovery automatically takes into account newly installed devices

Device can also be added manually Just type in device IP address and SNMP community


Tree View and Inventory

Discovered devices are classified in subnet groups Device can be drag and drop from one subnet to the other

Tsunami Subscriber (or End Point B) are automatically linked to their respective Base (or End Point A)

Inventory report provides information of all devices part of the selected subnet

Multiple parameters can be listed in the inventory report

Ability to export into CSV file improves inventory management


Scheduler

Scheduler enables the system administrator to perform pre-defined tasks on a single, multiple or all the devices on the network, at a pre-defined time

Available tasks are Commit and/or Reboot

Firmware Upgrade

Configs or Logs Retrieval

SNMP Bulk Set

Database Backup

Static Map Backup

Task can be run once or on a regular basis

Task can depend on other task completion


Device configuration

Devices are configured by direct access to web interface Network connection between operator and device is needed

No version compatibility issue between PV NMS and managed device

Multiple devices can be configured together via SNMP Bulk Set task

Device SNMP ObjectID is directly addressed

Status is provided for each device


Map View

Dynamic Map Requires internet connection to access OpenStreetMap

Devices are positioned based on configured coordinates or dragged to position

Static Map Uses jpg, bmp or img file

ideally 1024x768 Devices are dragged to position

Radio link between devices is automatically displayed

Color code is used to show Link quality or RF channels

Multiple maps profiles can be created


Fault Management

Predefined Event and configured Alarm Thresholds are monitored to help detect, notify and resolve faults

Operator defines Alert severity level and action (message, audio, email)

Alert reaches you wherever you are

Event tab centralizes all alerts Sorting tool helps find important alert

Acknowledgement information is recorded


Dashboard

Dashboard is used to monitor network performance Real-time information and historical statistics

Chart and table view

Can be printed, saved or exported to Excel

Helps in Analyzing network utilization

Planning network capacity

Debugging network issues


Audit Trail

Audit Trail stores the history of all the operations performed by the users

This data helps administrator to monitor all the user actions and take preventive measures


Tools

Custom Layout Display can be organized with most important data on top

Two different layouts can be saved

Troubleshooting ICMP ping, Traceroute and SNMP ping helps identify communication issues between server and devices

Utilities Server

start, stop, restart or check status

Database Backup and Restore

Port Scanner

Device ScanTool MAC layer search of device
