Computer printable labels produced quickly, easily
Labelling software has been designed for fast and easy creation of computer printable labels for a wide variety of electrical and network systems applications.
Version 3.0 is loaded with enhanced features such as full web-based management capabilities, so the entire physical layer can be managed from any location; and a timesaving built-in switch support generator, which recognises known switch support systems and automatically configures PanViewT to integrate them.
New integrated CAD support means the PanViewT system now provides a graphical representation of network devices in their actual location.
Furthermore, version 3.0 also features VoIP support which accurately tracks Cisco1 VoIP phones connected to the same switch port as other network devices, thus providing complete end-to-end link information - a feature previously unavailable from a physical layer management system.

Why PanViewT? - Key Features and Benefits: - Reduced Downtime - With a 100% accurate, real-time picture of the physical layer, time spent troubleshooting, planning and implementing Moves Adds and Changes (MAC's) is significantly reduced, resulting in increased productivity, less downtime, and a demonstrable, measurable Return On Investment.
For Service Providers in particular, reduced downtime means reduced Service Level Agreement (SLA) penalties.
- Security - Through its continuous scanning process, all connections are monitored 24 hours a day.
Any changes to patch fields are instantaneously detected triggering an alert message.
- Improved asset management - PanViewT monitors the location and usage of all network equipment to optimise resources, avoid unnecessary hardware purchases and reduce Total Cost of network Ownership.
- Greater IT staff efficiency - With a report generator that measures key performance indicators, PanViewT allows IT managers to log and analyse their workflow and automate their business processes; MAC's can be electronically planned and assigned so technicians can complete the task, even if located remotely.
Furthermore, PanViewT makes the MAC's themselves foolproof, resulting in significant savings, both in cost and time.
In short, by automating and streamlining physical layer network management duties, PanViewT frees up IT managers' time spent firefighting, allowing them to focus on system development, thus increasing staff productivity.
PanView's constant, real time monitoring also ensures the network is Future Ready to embrace new infrastructure topology, plus, in reducing downtime, PanViewT delivers a clear and conclusive ROI.
