MUST HAVE AN AEI-e410c OR AEI-e810C INSTALLED IN YOUR SYSTEM
- Version 1.0 Release Date MM/DD/YYYY.
The patent pending AEI Fault Tolerant Utility comes FREE with each AEI-e410C and AEI-e810C switch controller.
Features
- Monitors Network Traffic between host and IP Devices continuously.
(PoE, non-PoE, wired & wireless network connections).
- Fault Tolerance Network Monitoring:
Network Cable Faults, Network Connector Faults, Network Equipment Faults, and IP Power Device Faults for PoE Power Devices, non-PoE Devices, and other wired or wireless network connections.
- Multiple IP Connections:
Users can manage and monitor up to 126 different wired and wireless IP Power Devices as well as other network connections, plus optionally give each a unique nickname.
- Host System Pop-Up Alert:
The Host System will display an ALERT message via pop-up when a network fault is recognized, as well as when a network fault is cleared (wired or wireless fault).
- Email ALERT Notifications to Multiple Recipients:
Emails are sent when (i) a fault is recognized, (ii) when a fault cannot be cleared ["Fatal Error"], and (iii) when the fault is cleared.
- Automatic PoE Power Reset on Fault.
When this setting is selected, the utility will attempt to clear a network fault by resetting PoE power on all devices. This will attempt clear faults that result from locked or non-operational devices (routers, IP PD's, etc.). In the user Setup screen, the utility can be configured that when a fault (loss of network connection) is recognized, it will automatically cycle PoE power and restart PoE network and IP devices that source their power through an attached AEI-e410C (by itself), or an AEI-e810C utilizing an Intelligent Power Conversion Card.
- Remote PoE Power Reset:
Since the utility resides on the Host System, users with Remote Access to the Host can click a button on the Graphical User Interface to reset PoE Power, thus restarting all PoE Power Devices and PoE network equipment connected to either an AEI-e410C or AEI-e810C controllers.
- 24 Hour PoE Power Reset:
By clicking a box on the utility GUI, users can configure the utility to cycle PoE
power ON-OFF-ON for every 24 hour of continuous operation without turning the Host System OFF. This will restart all attacked PoE network equipment and PoE Power Devices.
- System Requirements:
Must have an AEI-e410C or AEI-e810C installed in a system for the utility to function.
The software utility resides on the Host System, and runs as a background service. Subsequently, it uses very little memory and system resources.
It is configured and managed through an application with a very easy and intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI).
This is a perfect solution for OEMs wishing to incorporate unique fault tolerant and notification features on the proprietary platforms.
