Features & Benefits

Fast Problem Resolution with Free Software
 

3Com® Network Supervisor is a powerful yet easy-to-use management application that graphically discovers, maps, and displays network links and IP devices, including 3Com NBX® telephones and some popular third-party products. It maps devices and connections so you can easily monitor stress levels, set thresholds and alerts, view network events, generate reports in user-defined formats, and launch device configuration tools. What’s more, when your network changes, you can prompt 3Com Network Supervisor to regenerate the appropriate part of the map to ensure that you have current information.

Automated operations, intelligent defaults, and the ability to detect network misconfigurations and offer optimization suggestions make this application ideal for network managers at all levels of experience. Together with the optional 3Com Network Supervisor Advanced Package, 3Com Network Supervisor Version 3.5 helps businesses manage larger networks and easily upgrade agent software in 3Com devices.

3Com Network Supervisor is included with most 3Com SuperStack® 3 devices and is available free online. Click here to download the software for a 60 day evaluation period. To extend use beyond this time, you may register online for a permanent license key.
