Monitor/manage Mesh networks from Connectware Manager

Digi’s Connectware Manager provides remote network management of all connected hardware, including devices on the ZigBee network. In contrast to the one-user-to-one device model of other Digi device interfaces, Connectware Manager deploys a one-user- to-many-devices interface model. From Connectware Manager, you can provision and configure network hardware, track device performance, remotely set filters and alarms, monitor connections, reboot devices and reset defaults, and remotely upgrade firmware. ZigBee extensions to Connectware Manager make it a particularly attractive platform for managing ZigBee devices behind the gateway. It displays all nodes on the ZigBee network with the ability to query for node profiles, node descriptors, connected endpoints, radio configuration settings radio statistics, bindings, and more.

Several views in Connectware Manager are used for viewing and configuring ZigBee networks:
