Reports Overview
The EPICenter software provides a series of HTML-based reports that present a wide variety of
information about your network and the devices EPICenter is managing. These reports can be accessed
from Navigation Toolbar of the EPICenter client, or they can be accessed separately from a standard
web browser.
The EPICenter reports do not require Java capability, and thus can be accessed from browsers that
cannot run the full EPICenter user interface. These reports can be loaded quickly, even over a dial-up
connection, and can also be printed. Some of these “reports” are actually tools to help you access
information helpful for debugging problems with EPICenter or the devices it is managing.
With the exception of the Network Summary Report, EPICenter’s HTML reports are always displayed
in a browser window, even if you are running the EPICenter installed client application. See “Browser
Requirements for Reports” in the
EPICenter Management Suite Installation and Upgrade Guide or the
EPICenter Release Notes for a list of supported browsers. The browser configured as the default for your
system is the one that is launched.
The Network Summary Report is also displayed on the EPICenter client Home page.
