or GV GUARDIAN application. Each application provides easy to use, fully autonomous remote
monitoring to predict errors, provide proactive notifications, and centrally consolidate error logs
and hardware failure information. Grass Valley recommends using a remote monitoring tool like
NetCentral or GV GUARDIAN. With NetCentral, and even more so with GV GUARDIAN, you
can maximize your up-time with less manpower, as compared to manual system monitoring. Watching
for indicator lights, physically scanning logs, and other manual monitoring is far more time
consuming, more error-prone, and much less accurate. If you have an existing NetCentral installation
you install a NetCentral device provider on the NetCentral server PC for each type of device you
are monitoring. Refer to NetCentral product documentation for installation and operating instructions.
With GV GUARDIAN, only SNMP MIBs are required. Separate device providers are not necessary.
Refer to the on-line GV GUARDIAN Topic Library for information.
