	Feature	Description
	Device Scripting	Device scripting allows you to create tasks with
		embedded scripts files that you can deploy to all your
		devices or a single device. This can save time in that you
		do not have to connect to each device and send it the
		same script file.

	PerleVIEW Updates	PerleVIEW can notify you of any PerleVIEW software
		updates required or automatically download these
		updates to the PerleVIEW server. These updates can then
		be applied at a later date.
	Firmware Updates	PerleVIEW can notify you of any PerleVIEW firmware
		updates required for the hardware it manages or
		automatically download these updates to the PerleVIEW
		respository. These updates can then be applied at a later
		date.

	Statistics Collection	PerleVIEW can collect statistic information from your
		devices. This information can be used to assess network
		problems or network uptime.
	Collection of Health Statuses	PerleVIEW can give you health statuses for your
		devices. These status can be used to determine if a action
		needs to be taken on this device (For example: critical -
		device unreachable means that this device needs
		immediate attention). These events can range from
		critical, major, minor, normal or suspended.
