ComView IPs
ComView IPs is an integrated secure access gateway. It enables service providers to securely deliver services to remote voice & network equipment through IP network, dial-up, and high-speed broadband Internet connections.
ComView IPs combines 2 serial ports, 2 Ethernet ports, 4 logical IP ports, 4 contact inputs, 2 digital outputs and a 56K global modem to enable you to connect to a range of different equipment at remote sites.

ComView IPs allows you to configure each of its serial and logical IP ports to different modes of operation: direct access, alarm management and raw data collection & buffering. You can also run Perl scripts at each port either interactively or through the integrated task scheduler to perform any task you require.

In addition to networking security protocols, ComView IPs provides an access security manager with user-definable policies to let you control and manage access to ComView IPs and any associated connected equipment.

ComView IPs is ideally suited for securing access to voice & network equipment for remote administration, management, monitoring, and services delivery – efficiently and cost effectively.

ComView IPs Applications

Remote equipment administration & support

ComView IPs provides a secure remote access to a wide range of equipment to give users a consistent access interface to carry out remote administration and support.
 
Consolidate and protect equipment access points
The ComView IPs access security capabilities are applied to each of the ComView IPs ports, consolidating equipment access and protecting the connected equipment from unauthorized access.
 
Equipment & user access control and management

ComView IPs provides flexible, user definable equipment and access control management capabilities by allowing unique user access profiles to be created that determine which ComView IPs commands and ports a user can access and when. This lets you carefully control and manage which users can access which pieces of connected equipment, which ComView IPs commands they can invoke as well as specifying the time window during which the access can take place.
 
Secure access to remote equipment and networks
The ComView IPs access security capabilities make it an ideal secure gateway solution for controlling access to remotely located network and equipment.
 
SNMP mediation
ComView IPs is able to monitor and detect ASCII based alarm event messages and contact sensor conditions.  It then converts these events into user-defined SNMP traps and then sends the traps to designated SNMP Managers. This allows legacy and non-SNMP supported equipment to be integrated into a network management system cost-effectively and with the minimum effort.
 
Real-time alarm monitoring of serial and network data
ComView IPs is able to monitor ASCII alarm events in real-time on both its serial and network ports. The alarm events can be categorized by a user to determine the action to be taken: alarm event reported over a dial-up connection, an SNMP trap generated, an email sent, and/ or a ComView IPs output condition activated.
 
Data collection and analysis of serial and network data
ComView IPs is able collect and monitor ASCII data from both its serial and network ports. The data can be either directly stored for later retrieval or it can be analyzed according to user requirements.
 
Environmental conditions monitoring
The ComView IPs I/O ports enable environmental sensors and other associated equipment monitoring devices to be monitored and controlled. This gives a wider range of site control beyond the equipment connected to the serial and/or network ports.
 
TCP/IP protocol server monitoring
ComView IPs has the capability to actively monitor up to 5 different protocol servers (SMTP, POP3, TELNET, FTP and HTTP) on a connected network and raising alarm reports when a problem is detected. This allows you to integrate your equipment and network monitoring activities by using a single monitoring device and reporting activity to a single point in a single format.
 
Administrative task automation
ComView IPs supports PERL scripts that can be used to carry out user defined tasks in response to detected alarm events or at specified times or intervals.
