Management of IP-based communication networks

The Harting Ha-VIS Dashboard is a software system for the monitoring, installation and servicing of IP-based communication networks incorporating up to 256 network devices.

The new system detects manageable network members and can automatically map the network topology. Intelligent Harting network components as well as network devices from other manufacturers can be monitored and managed centrally.

The Ha-VIS Dashboard makes it possible to configure detected network devices centrally via the web, SNMP, Telnet or SSH interfaces. Events such as link-down detection are automatically detected and can trigger configurable actions: for example, notification by e-mail. In addition, the Ha-VIS Dashboard provides analysis services for the simple monitoring and management of Ethernet networks. The network load can be retrieved cyclically port by port for selected connections and then mapped in a diagram.

Benefits include centralised management of managed Ethernet devices, the ability to carry out Ethernet network monitoring, event and alarm management, and performance monitoring.

Applications include network infrastructure management in industry, energy technology and transportation.
