MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
iView² is the management software that features a Graphical User Interface
(GUI) and gives network managers the ability to monitor and control the
manageable B+B SmartWorx products.
iView² is available in several versions: including a WebServer version 3.0, and
can also function as a snap-in module for HP OpenView Network Node Manager
and other third party SNMP Management software.
iView
2
supports these O/S platforms: Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7.
See the

manual for software configuration options.
IVIEW

(ICONFIG VIEW)
iView
2
(iConfig view) is an in-band utility used for SNMP configuration for B+B
SmartWorx’ SNMP-manageable devices. The iView
2
(iConfig view) feature allows
the following to be performed:
•
Set an IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
•
Define community strings and SNMP Traps.
iView
2
(iConfig view) also includes an authorized IP address system and
restricted access to MIB groups which are supported by B+B SmartWorx'
manageable devices. These extra layers of security do not affect SNMP
compatibility. iView
2
(iConfig view) can upload new versions of the system
software and new MIB information. It also includes diagnostic capabilities for
faster resolution of technical support issues.
USING IVIEW

Windows operating system, use the Start menu to access iView².

The autoscan feature of iView² will detect B+B SmartWorx devices on an
active subnet and list them in the network outline. Click the connection for
the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III to open its iView² screen. To perform additional

This allows a session to be launched; the default password/username is
admin/admin
. Additional private usernames and passwords can be entered
in the USERS tab. If the list of passwords is not maintained, the usernames
and passwords can be reset by opening a CLI session and typing in the
cleandb command. This will reset all but the IP address of the device.
