HotView Mesh Management™ Software
The HotView mesh management software provides a convenient, browser-based interface for monitoring
all of the HotPort nodes on your mesh network. The HotView software is a Java-based application
compatible with most Internet browsers and platforms, including Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.
Although the HotView Mesh management software is not required for installing or operating your network,
it provides an easy way to monitor and manage the mesh and your HotPort nodes. Because wireless
connections between HotPort nodes are invisible, this software lets you “see” which units are within direct
range of each other. The HotView software also provides additional security and optional configuration
features. Registered users can download the HotView software and documentation from the Firetide web
site (
www.firetide.com/downloads
).
