SuperVisor Extended Network Management (EXM)
Extended Network Management (EXM) extends SuperVisor management beyond the single radio network
providing configuration and monitoring to other Aprisa SR family products down the RF path from the radio
logged into. All radios that are then managed from one login become part of the extended network radio
list.
A typical use of this new feature is where an Aprisa SRi radio network is connected to the ‘tail end’ of an
Aprisa SR+ radio network where the Aprisa SRi base station is cable connected to the Ethernet port of an
Aprisa SR+ remote radio. The connection between the Network Operations Centre (NOC) to the Aprisa SRi
base station would be via the Over-The-
Air path of the Aprisa SR+ base station’s network.
Benefits Of EXM
Some of the benefits that will be seen from this enhancement include:
•
Ability to use SuperVisor to manage any 4RF compatible radio units via the
‘
closest radio station
’
•
A user can now simply establish a local connection with the closest radio and navigate to manage
another radio down the RF path from the radio logged into.
•
Ability to use SuperVisor to perform
‘
inverse remote management
’
–
i.e. to manage the base station
from any of its remote radios
•
When on site at a remote location, the user can now login to the remote radio and navigate to
manage its base station
•
A user can now add any IP connectable radio to a SuperVisor session and utilize the Network Status
monitoring feature to monitor radios network wide
•
SuperVisor can be left running long term on the
‘
Network Status > Summary
’
page to have a
summarized status view of the whole monitored network
The EXM feature will not be suitable for customers who use Port forwarding NAT configuration or One to
One NAT in their existing setup.
