User Interface

Fig. 60 Main user interface.

The main user interface of EliteConnect Management Utility is three-paned. The upper right pane is the Device List View, which shows the devices to manage. The upper left pane is the Workspace Window, which enables you to filter the active device list or switch to another device list. The bottom pane is the History Log View.

EliteConnect Management Utility is equipped with a menu bar and two tool- bars for functions such as device list editing, device management. In addi- tion, when you right click anywhere in the active device list, a shortcut menu will appear for you to quickly carry out commands.

How Does It Work?

EliteConnect Management Utility communicates with the SMC Wireless Bridges by HTTP. A network management command calls CGI (Common Gateway Interface) functions on a selected device to configure the device and get status information from it. Network batch commands are implemented by using multithreading techniques, thus, a click-and-go- style of device management can be achieved.
