Enterprise-class Universal Network Management Controller
Enterprise-class Universal Network Management Controller
PLANET's NMS-500 Network Management System can monitor all kinds of deployed
network devices, such as managed switches, media converters, routers, smart APs, VoIP
phones, IP cameras, etc., compliant with the SNMP Protocol, ONVIF Protocol and
PLANET Smart Discovery utility. It thus enables the administrator to centrally manage
a network of up to 512 nodes from a central office, greatly boosting network and
power management efficiency. With its user authentication management, the NMS-500
enhances data transmission security in the modern factory automation systems.
