MegaVision Features

MegaVision helps you to quickly configure the network. It detects network problems, provides device and port control, and offers real-time and historical graphical and statistical displays. Here is the list of main features applicable to both MegaVision Classic and MegaVision-WEB:

•Rich user-friendly GUI full management for the supported family of products.

•Ability to discover and monitor any vendor SNMP or TCP/IP compliant device.

•End-to-end network monitoring and configuration. Hierarchical maps allow graphical presentation and inventory of the whole network.

•In-band and/or out-of-band access via SLIP RS-232.

•Multiple devices are monitored and controlled at the same time.

•TFTP/BootP client/server.

•RMON groups 1,2,3,9 GUI supported for any RMON capable device.

•Automatic inactivity discovery of SNMP and TCP/IP devices.

•Configurable immediate visual and sound notification of SNMP alarms/traps.

•Virtual LANs graphical setup and display.

•User defined alarms thresholds.

•Adjustable polling intervals to limit network management overhead

•Access security through use of passwords. Two levels of passwords allow monitoring and display only (user) or monitoring, display and configuration of the devices (supervisor).

MegaVision-WEB additionally contains the following features:

•WEB-GUI interface. All the MegaVision screens may be accessed remotely via WEB from ANY platform including UNIX/LINUX and HP OV NNM UNIX. (The local GUI interface is still there).

•Configurable E-mail Notification (through e-mail it can go to pagers, etc.);

•Devices are being polled and receive traps, even if they belong to CLOSED MAP. This feature basically takes out the limitation of the network size.

•Services Monitor: possibility to monitor performance of mission-critical Layer-7 network services, such as e-mail, FTP, e-commerce (http) etc. Collecting history in log files is available. Helps carriers (service providers) to track the SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and can be used to discover the need for QoS (Quality of Services) configuration.

MegaVision is designed with the network manager in mind. By using built-in tools for monitoring up-to-the minute information and statistics, and reconfiguring the system as network requirements grow and evolve, you can maintain a network that operates at peak performance—maximum throughput, network stability, and minimal downtime.
