ware. This software is a graphical desktop application with which you can configure Meinberg devices via an
encrypted network connection. A big advantage of the Meinberg Device Manager is the possibility of simulta-
neous configuration and monitoring of several different devices in the network.
The Meinberg Device Manager for Windows can be used with Windows 7 and all newer versions. Supported
