Industrial HiVision - Graphical User Interface

The main Industrial HiVision window provides fully customisable topology maps of all or part of your network. Each window supports a background image which can be used, for example, to display a site plan.

The maps can consist of the following components:

• folders - used to open sub-maps
• device icons - active, with customisable status colours, size, flashing, and text. Industrial HiVision is delivered with libraries of realistic and abstract switch and end device icons, and you can create your own using standard graphics software.
• links - to show connections between devices. These are also active, with colours and patterns depicting the status of each link. A single click shows you the bandwidth utilisation.
• other icons - passive icons used to show the position of unmanageable devices.
• text labels - used to add additional information to a map.

The left side of the screen shows your map (and therefore network) heirarchy, using an intuitive tree structure which is also colour-coded for status.

User benefits:

• exact description of your network topology and device location.
• network status at a glance.
• easy fault finding.
• port numbers and link labels can be hidden for clarity.
• maps can be locked to maintain look and feel.
• zoom function to accommodate any size of network.
• maps can be printed and exported for instant network documentation.
