License and Multi-User Login
License is managed via License file Each installation generates a unique key string
AU20bEk1XcPFYLgvkl1W6pjFAYt/G1akbd4uJ79qnwk4 fduK7FyVRaL3NX12C5Ks3bDkjwd9tk1+HTizYxMfEQ==
License file is generated based on this key
Multiple accounts with different profiles can be created
Each profile defines possible operation Profile can be time limited
Up to five users can log-in simultaneously
It is possible to reject second log-ins with identical username
List of connected users is available Administrator can force user logout or lock account

Automatic or Manual discovery
Device discovery and management relies on SNMP v1/2c or secure SNMP v3 protocol
Multiple discovery groups can be created Each group can be discovered once or on a regular basis
Periodic discovery automatically takes into account newly installed devices
Device can also be added manually Just type in device IP address and SNMP community

Tree View and Inventory
Discovered devices are classified in subnet groups Device can be drag and drop from one subnet to the other
Tsunami Subscriber (or End Point B) are automatically linked to their respective Base (or End Point A)
Inventory report provides information of all devices part of the selected subnet
Multiple parameters can be listed in the inventory report
Ability to export into CSV file improves inventory management

Scheduler
Scheduler enables the system administrator to perform pre-defined tasks on a single, multiple or all the devices on the network, at a pre-defined time
Available tasks are Commit and/or Reboot
Firmware Upgrade
Configs or Logs Retrieval
SNMP Bulk Set
Database Backup
Static Map Backup
Task can be run once or on a regular basis
Task can depend on other task completion

Device configuration
Devices are configured by direct access to web interface Network connection between operator and device is needed
No version compatibility issue between PV NMS and managed device
Multiple devices can be configured together via SNMP Bulk Set task
Device SNMP ObjectID is directly addressed
Status is provided for each device

Map View
Dynamic Map Requires internet connection to access OpenStreetMap
Devices are positioned based on configured coordinates or dragged to position
Static Map Uses jpg, bmp or img file
ideally 1024x768 Devices are dragged to position
Radio link between devices is automatically displayed
Color code is used to show Link quality or RF channels
Multiple maps profiles can be created
