ITAN
XR
, purchased separately, is a web-accessible centralized point of control to monitor
switches, notify designated users of alert conditions, analyze network traffic using RMON
statistics, schedule and implement software upgrades in batch mode, and manage user
accounts. Using T
ITAN
XR, network traffic running across a KVM hypervisor on a separate
Linux server can be mirrored, filtered, and directed into a unidirectional GRE tunnel
(created by T
ITAN
XR) that is terminated on an I
NTELLA
S
TORE
II for analysis. Refer to the
T
ITAN
XR User Manual
for more information.

OBILE
A
PP
, available for Android tablets and smart phones, extends T

management by providing a global view and real-time status of the APCON monitoring
network. This allows technical staff to view and diagnose issues remotely at all times, thus
reducing the time to resolve issues. The user-friendly interface provides network visibility,
system and link status, alarm notifications, and log history.
