Intellex® Policy Manager
Features
• The administration client for Policy Manager integrates into the Microsoft Management Console
(MMC), so that administering Intellex security is the same as administering other network
applications.
• In addition to providing more granularity in independently securing Intellex features and
functions, Policy Manager integrates into Microsoft Windows security. This facilitates customers
learning how to navigate through the GUI and administer security, as well as add Intellex groups
and users groups, because Policy Manager inherits as much of the GUI as possible.
Consequently, Policy Manager is positioned to offer advanced security for Intellex.
• Using Policy Manager, IT administrators are able to integrate Intellex video systems into their
existing network, without having to compromise any network security policies that they have set
up. Policy Manager integrates into the MS Windows console and inherits the security protocols
that the organization is already using. As a result, IT managers do not need to introduce new
networking protocols just for video. Even if organizations continue to run video on a private LAN
that is separate from their corporate LAN/WAN, Policy Manager’s advanced security eliminates
the IT administrator’s concern regarding breach of security in the corporate network via the
remote traffic for video network that runs over the shared IT systems (firewalls, routers, etc.).
• Policy Manager allows the security administrator to administer both local and remote access
centrally to multiple Intellex units.
• Security administrators can assign different access levels to different users of Intellex functions
and resources, beyond what the classic security scheme is capable of providing.
• Policy Manager provides resource management and fault detection for networked Intellex units.
The server detects when units become available or unavailable and makes appropriate entries
into the system log.
• You can monitor status and error reporting via the system event logs. Policy Manager creates
and maintains its own event log that is integrated into the existing event log mechanism provided
by the operating system. All administration access as well as instrument availability is logged. In
addition, access violations are detected and published to the event log. Use Microsoft’s Event
Viewer to view the logs either locally or remotely.
