•

Web-based management over HTTP/HTTPS

•

Simplified commissioning using EasySet and auto Power Distribution

•

Configurable SNMP v2/v3 traps sent to the NOC

•

Support for private enterprise management information base (MIB) files provided for

SNMP traps

•

Configurable IP settings for DMS and designated NOC(s)

•

Auto assign BIU’s IP addresses

•

Alarm masking to hide unused alarms from being reported

•

Alarm Control with hysteresis and alert level, color, remedy

•

Active alarms collection and real-time alarm monitoring

•

Alarm notification through email

•

DMS-1200 system upgrades via the web or USB flash

•

Firmware upgrade for all devices from DMS

•

Custom filtering and data export for inventory reports, alarm logs, event logs, trend logs

•

Historical trend and graph for devices

•

Management of up to 20 BIU units (connecting multiple BIUs requires a Gigabit Ethernet

switch)

•
