SmartView™ Element Management System (EMS) is a comprehensive management solution that monitors device performance, enables remote configuration and provisioning, and provides fault notification status.

• SmartView™ Server

  The server handles connection with the network devices using SNMP protocol, and is responsible for communication of requests from management clients. SmartView™ Server collects the information data from specific SNMP agents, stores the information into a persistent database and updates that information to the management clients. SmartView™ server requires 64bit Microsoft® Windows™ O.S.

• Microsoft® MS-SQL Server for Persistent Storage

  SQL Server is the place where SmartView™ stores collected data, such as alarms, traps and user actions, for long term retrieval. SmartView™ requires Microsoft® SQL Server and is compatible with SQL 2008 Server, SQL 2008 Express, SQL 2014 Server and SQL 2014 Express. (The EMS installer will install the free version Microsoft® SQL 2008 Express or SQL 2014 Express under Windows 10 by default).

• Multi-Administrators

  Management clients are provided with the JAVA applet GUI to monitor and control the agents at far end. They also receive the Alarm and Traps from the corresponding SNMP Agents. Multiple workstations are allowed, with a maximum of 25 concurrent logged in users.

SmartConfig™ is a convenient configuration tool for mass deployment of CTC Union’s managed industrial switch products. SmartConfig™ is designed for field engineers, to aid in mass deployments but can just as easily be used for initial configuration of a small group of switches or even a single device. It is portable, so it can easily be included on a network tools pen drive, it has been tested on all versions of Windows and the GUI is both simple and intuitive. Different configurations can be saved and recalled for later use, saving valuable time in the field and minimizing downtime when expanding networks or doing field replacements.
