Intuitive user interface
IMC includes many features that enable administrators and operators to effectively manage the network
infrastructure.
The tabular navigation system is located at the top of every IMC page to provide one click access to most
of IMC features. These features can include lists that provide operators with access to the managed
resources.
Most lists provide active links for drilling down into the details for individual components, such as the
Device Details page. From these individual device or component pages, operators can access the IMC
features that enable them to manage, monitor, configure, and audit network resources.
IMC also provides operators with many paths to the same destination. Operators are provided with quick
start guides. With the My Favorites feature, operators can create links to the IMC features they use most
often.
Once created, My Favorites links become available on every IMC page through the My Shortcut > My
Favorites link located in the upper left corner of the left navigation system.
IMC provides two forms of online help:
• Universal online help system provides operators with detailed information on IMC features using
examples and instructions.
• User interface provides operators with context sensitive help that includes instructions and guidance
specific to a particular page or feature. The user interface also provides a basic and advanced
search facility available on almost every window in IMC. Operators can use this feature to quickly
access the device details for any device, based on the search criteria entered. Most lists in IMC also
provide operators with the ability to search or filter the list based on the criteria entered.
IMC service components
IMC modular and scalable SOA architecture supports extension of IMC scope of coverage beyond the
functionality of the base platform.
Additional and optional service modules are available to extend coverage. These additional areas of
coverage include managing wireless and voice devices, QoS, MPLS VPNs, user access and behavior,
traffic analysis, and endpoint security.
IMC provides these additional areas of management from a single, integrated platform and Web portal.
Wireless Service Manager
IMC provides network administrators and engineers with a unified management system for both wired
and wireless networks. With the IMC Wireless Service Manager component, operators can use the same
platform to manage wired networks and perform the following functions:
• WLAN device configuration
• Topology
• Performance monitoring
• RF coverage and planning
• WLAN intrusion detection and defense
