The Wave Relay™ System contains a suite of management tools which enable network installers and system administrators to configure and manage the system effectively. The system includes a web based management interface which is integrated into the Wave Relay™ device, a full network visualization capability in the Google Earth GIS system, and support for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Wave Relay™ Web Based Management:

The Wave Relay™ System contains a suite of management tools which enable network installers and system administrators to configure and manage the system effectively. A web based interface provides a powerful tool for rapid network configuration and management. The web interface is integrated into all of the Wave Relay™ routers making it always accessible. The backend to the web management tools is a powerful network management engine which enables network wide configuration changes making it extremely simple to manage a large number of routers.

Google Earth Based Network Visualization:

Wave Relay™ provides complete integration with the Google Earth GIS system. This capability provides real-time monitoring of all of the nodes, links, and traffic load in the network. All of the links are color coded to indicate their Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). Poor link connectivity can be quickly identified so that problems can be fixed immediately, preventing down time. The visualization system also works with the optional Wave Relay™ GPS module which allows you to monitor and track mobile nodes and assets as they move throughout your mesh infrastructure. The Google Earth visualization system serves its content directly from the Wave Relay™ router, so no additional servers or hardware is required.

Wave Relay™ SNMP Based Management:

The Wave Relay™ System provides support for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows standard SNMP based management tools to be used to monitor the Wave Relay™ system. Custom MIBs allow the monitoring and tracking of connected 802.11 client devices, system temperature and voltage levels, and node uptime. SNMP management tools can be used to record trends and to log data.
