Overview

MegaVision is a network management application. Its main function is managing a specific set of supported devices, however, it can discover and perform many functions with virtually any vendor SNMP or TCP/IP devices. It provides you with the consistent view of your whole network, helps with its configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting. This manual contains only generic MegaVision information, which is applicable to the whole system and all managed devices. For multiple details about different devices management please refer to MegaVision online HELP.

There are two basic versions of MegaVision: MegaVision-WEB and MegaVision Classic.

MegaVision-WEB

MegaVision-WEB runs on Win95/Win98/WinNT/Win2000. However, its rich GUI (graphical user interface) can be accessed on ANY platform (see below).

There are two different ways, which MegaVision-WEB GUI can be accessed:

1.Local GUI is provided on the same PC, which is running MegaVision-WEB.

2.Remote WEB-Console GUI can be accessed from any computer (any OS, including UNIX, Linux...), which is capable of running Java-enabled WEB-browser (like Netscape or Internet Explorer). There is NO specific console software required. Just start your WEB-browser and point it to the address: "http://<IP Address>/", where <IP Address> is IP Address of the PC MegaVision-WEB is running on. This feature allows to monitor/configure your network from any point in the world, which has Internet/Intranet connection. It also allows managing supported devices from standard NMS platforms (such as HP OV NNM UNIX, please see below)

1.Standalone MS-Windows application. In this configuration it provides its own mapping, alarm color-handling and polling capabilities. MegaVision Classic
