Network eManager
The Network eManager application reduces the time required to manage multiple Strata CIX
equipment sites. While eManager can manage one CIX system during one administration session,
Network eManager can manage a group of CIX systems in a single session. The possible situations
when an administrator may need to configure multiple CIX systems as a group include:
• Multiple CIX systems in a Strata NET configuration.
• Setting up several CIX systems, at different sites, through the dealership LAN at the same time.
• Several sites, at different geographical locations, each with its own CIX, all managed centrally
over a WAN.
The following are the benefits of using Network eManager over eManager:
To manage multiple CIX sites, the eManager user has to switch between CIX system sites by
navigating back to a connection page. This closes the currently open pages, disconnects from the
CIX system, and cleans all data collected from the eManager application. Once back on the
connection page, the user selects the next single CIX and begins managing that system.
With Network eManager, the user selects an Equipment Group from a tree view. An Equipment
Group can include any number of CIX systems. Once an Equipment Group is selected, the user
can connect to all members in the selected group. After a successful connection, Network
eManager navigates to a menu with all of the member CIX systems of the connected Equipment
Group available as destinations. The user can manage all member CIX systems of the selected
Equipment Group without navigating back to the selection page. Compared to eManager, the
features in Network eManager provide the following ways for managing multiple CIX systems
more efficiently:
• Instant selection of a group member CIX system added to existing eManager pages. These
pages target one CIX system at a time, but the instant selection control allows switching
systems without closing the current page and navigating back to the connection page.
• The user can apply changes or extend operations to all group member CIX systems at once.
• A clipboard-like feature in Network eManager allows the user to copy and paste contents on
the same page selectively.
• Some of the Network eManager pages and functions are designed to make managing Strata Net
sites easier and faster. These functions operate across the member Strata CIX systems in an
Equipment Group.
The Strata Synch utility in conjunction with Network eManager provides the interface between

programming time in new installations by eliminating the need for dealer technicians to manually
