September 3, 2013 - Belden announces Version 5.0 of its Hirschmann Industrial HiVision network management software for pecific challenges of configuring and supervising an industrial Ethernet network. HiFusion, a tool provided free of charge with Industrial HiVision v5.0, is a stand-alone application that facilitates the integration of any SNMP-capable device into Industrial HiVision. HiFusion also includes a wizard to guide users through the creation of the integration files.
Industrial HiVision v5.0 now offers the device management granularity of a manufacturer-specific application and the device management diversity of a generic open network management platform. Even as industrial networks are becoming larger and more complex, they must have the highest operational availability. This presents a unique challenge for the network management solution.
Industrial HiVision v5.0 offers an intelligent response: distributed management. A network management hierarchy provides master and slave network management stations to ensure that any size of network can be supervised.
