PANVIEW-Advanced Real-Time wiring Management System

In a structured cloth system, "management" has always been an important part. For a long time, people have used methods such as pasting tags and text blocking records to manage the link connection status. However, due to various reasons, records may not match the actual situation, when a fault occurs, a large amount of search time is wasted, causing unnecessary losses to the user.

To solve the long-standing problem, panda launched the PANVIEW-real-time wiring management system. The system monitors the cabling system in real time, displays the network status in real time, and provides users with the latest network information.

The PANVIEW system is a complete hardware and software system designed for real-time management of network facilities. The PANVIEW software works with PANVIEW scanners and distribution frames that support PANVIEW to control, survey, and monitor physical and network resources. Automatic Physical layer network archiving and maintenance procedures are allowed. Using a browser interface, you can easily access all information, including monitoring and maintenance systems from anywhere you can access the Internet. By using software to provide real-time end-to-end connection information, you can monitor and maintain the entire network. Network administrators can view physical layer network information in real time. The combination of graphic images and real-time information can help administrators make key decisions on moving, adding, and changing (MAC) in an enterprise. The connection report in the system provides various network-related information, including detailed information about the entire network configuration until a single user connects, and provides critical records for managing the company's network resources.

MASTER)

The main device (MASTER) collects, stores, and sends connection data from the scanner, and updates the PanView management workstation based on the connection changes reported by the scanner it controls.

The MASTER node is connected to a scanner located in the same building to monitor the managed site. Each MASTER port is considered as a separate site. The MASTER can also be connected to the extender to increase the number of managed electronic distribution racks and the number of information points that can be managed.

SCANNER)

The PANVIEW scanner is located in various wiring racks. The distribution frame is connected to the PANVIEW scanner, the PANVIEW scanner is connected to the extender, or directly to the main device. Each PANVIEW scanner can directly monitor up to 12 distribution frames, or use a shard to monitor up to 24 distribution frames.

Extended device (EXPANDER)

The extended device improves the MASTER function. You can connect the PANVIEW scanner to the extended scanner and the extended scanner to the MASTER, so the MASTER can connect to a large number of PANVIEW scanners in various locations. Each extender can be connected to a maximum of eight PANVIEW scanners, which can be connected to other extenders in a cascaded manner, which increases the number of PANVIEW scanners connected to the MASTER. The cascade extender can be used to connect a number of unlimited PANVIEW scanners to a MASTER in a site. To maximize the management of information points.

Electronic distribution frame supporting PANVIEW

Panda provides a variety of distribution frames supporting PANVIEW to flexibly adapt to most application requirements. The scanner collects the connection information of each distribution frame and reports the information to the PANVIEW server through the LAN.

The LEDs on the distribution frame indicate the measures that technicians should take. The LED lights show different requirements of the system by flashing or continuously shining, and clearly indicate the tasks to be completed to the staff.

2. PANVIEW System Software Components

As an important part of the entire system, PANVIEW provides end-to-end real-time information of information points in the form of a browser interface. It supports remote monitoring and maintenance of the system and monitors the entire physical layer of the network.

1) Asset Management

PANVIEW uses a fully structured Catalog module and Inventory module to archive and manage all aspects of network assets. Provides archives of each network component, including detailed information such as vendor information, project type, function type, and project. A comprehensive project type, function type, group, and project list are required for database building.

2) work order Module

The PANVIEW work order module provides a comprehensive and easy-to-use system that simplifies the work order process. Planners can generate work orders and divide them into different tasks. Each task is assigned to a technician who can determine the task completion date. The technician is responsible for the task and executes the task assigned to him. Once the task is completed, the database is automatically updated without manual data input. From initiating a work order to finishing a work order, you can monitor the status of the entire work order or assigned tasks.

(3) P-LET Module

The P-LET module provides a new automatic discovery network function and connection and asset tracking system. All active devices on the network can be found and their locations and link information can be investigated. Collect device information, including IP addresses, MAC addresses, and host names. All such information is automatically input to the database and provided to the network administrator in graphical form. Users can analyze information related to the entire network connection from workstation to physical connection hardware to network devices (LAN switches and programmable switches.

◆ Network device discovery

The P-LET module automatically discovers all network devices in the network regardless of their physical location in the Organization. The PANVIEW system identifies each workstation and automatically creates workstation and related links for each workstation in the database.

◆ Device location positioning

The actual device is automatically placed in the corresponding position of the system. For example, if the IP phone number is moved from one room to another, the next time the module is run, the location is automatically updated.

3. PANVIEW system functions

As a physical layer network management system, PANVIEW provides real-time information about the connections between users and devices in the telecom. It reports all connection changes to the management system (NMS) Running the PANVIEW program and guides the network administrator to plan and implement wiring changes.

◆ Check jumper connection

The system can provide all port connection information, patch cord disconnection, without manual tracking of cables and connections.

◆ Real-time traps report any configuration changes and differences

The PANVIEW system uses a scanner to scan the system and detect line changes in the network in real time, including Patch Cord insertion and removal, and connection of terminal devices, and timely report the connection changes to the server running PANVIEW software to ensure information accuracy, timeliness, and integrity.

◆ Reconfigure the connection

Management personnel can define link tasks in the system and send them to the scanner through the SNMP proxy. When the on-site personnel start the reconfiguration process, the LED indicator on the distribution frame will guide the on-site staff to complete the task.

◆ Comprehensive report generation capability

PANVIEW provides reports on the cabling system and PANVIEW as required by different users. At the same time, users can choose to send messages based on their permissions. The system has embedded various forms of reports, including connection status, connection status, Command records, and information point disconnections. You can select archive and print as needed.

◆ Network changes can be notified by email

The system can send email notifications to specific events. The User specifies the notification event type. You can customize the event type, device, time, and so on. When an event of interest occurs, the administrator can receive an email notification from the PANVIEW system immediately.

Iv. Summary

By using the PANVIEW system, the network conditions will be greatly improved, reducing people's working hours. Provides users with the most stable network connection.
