Web Manager

The iTap Port Aggregator has
built-in support for remote control
and monitoring from any computer with
an Internet browser. Net Optics Web
Manager is the browser-based interface
that allows you to change settings,
view status, and retrieve data remotely
with simple-to-use controls. When you
access an iTap Port Aggregator with Web
Manager, all configurations, status, and
traffic data are displayed on a single Web
page. Changes to the configuration can
be made with a few clicks of the mouse.

System Manager

iTap Port Aggregators can be used as
a system managed via Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP) from
a single interface. Net Optics System
Manager is an SNMP management tool
that offers central management of all
Net Optics iTap devices in the network.
You can organize iTaps into groups
according to workgroup, location, or any
other criteria. As with Web Manager, you
can view all status, configuration, and
traffic information and make changes
quickly to any iTap in the system. The
iTap Port Aggregator generates SNMP
traps for system status, threshold alarm,
link status, and power status. If you are
already using an SNMP management
tool, iTap Port Aggregators can be fully

accessed after loading Net Optics
Management Information Base (MIB) file.

Security, Visibility, and Reliability

You have the option of setting the iTap
Port Aggregator so that it will not display
data on the LCD, and the Management
Port will be disabled, preventing it from
being accessed from the network. The
Monitor Ports can also be turned off
to prevent unauthorized access to the
network link. The monitoring device
connected to the iTap Port Aggregator
sees all full-duplex traffic including Layer
1 and Layer 2 errors. Redundant power
connections provide uptime protection.
