NetOutlook Network Management Software is a robust and secure network management application for the iConverter Multi-Service Platform. NetOutlook provides remote configuration and provisioning, monitoring and reporting for iConverter media converters, Network Interface Devices (NIDs), T1/E1 and CWDM Multiplexers.

NetOutlook is used by Service Providers, Enterprises and Governments to leverage the full capabilities of the iConverter multi-service platform:

• Lowers operating costs with remote configuration and provisioning which reduces technician trips to equipment
• Improves network reliability with performance monitoring, fault detection and isolation tools
• Increases end user/subscriber satisfaction with comprehensive performance monitoring

Powerful User Interface

NetOutlook is a graphical user interface (GUI) that serves as a single integrated point of access to the entire suite of iConverter products. All functionality is accessible through NetOutlook including configuration, troubleshooting, maintenance and performance monitoring.

IP-Less Management

Using Omnitron’s secure IP-Less remote management channel, NetOutlook users can access a large number of individual devices through a centrally located system at the core of the network. Also, IP-less management makes remote devices more secure because remote devices are not exposed to unauthorized access through an IP interface.

Fault Management

NetOutlook provides real-time visibility into the operational state of iConverter equipment. Events being monitored include:

• Hardware/Software Configuration Change
• Security Events
• Link Up/Down Notification
• Primary/Secondary Link Up/Down
• Dying Gasp Notification

All monitored events are logged and accessible through NetOutlook.

Configuration Management

NetOutlook allows remote configuration of all product functionality. Configurable iConverter parameters include:

• VLAN membership assignments
• Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization, Port Access Control, Bandwidth Control
• Auto-Negotiation
• Port Speed
• Duplex
• Link Fault Detection Modes.

NetOutlook allows network parameters to be remotely configured from a single location, providing a convenient and time-saving solution for large-scale deployments.

Performance Monitoring

NetOutlook provides a graphical display of RMON statistics, including bandwidth utilization and network performance, link and data receive/transmit status. NetOutlook also monitors and reports on chassis power supply voltage, current and temperature. 802.3ah Performance Monitoring provides the detection and notification of link performance (quality) faults. NetOutlook can also report optical performance statistics from Small Form Pluggables (SFPs).
