Provision Ethernet and TDM Circuits
The Circuit Wizard tool in SEL-5051 Client Software greatly simplifies the provisioning of Ethernet and time-division multiplexing (TDM) circuits. Using this step‐by-step graphical tool, you only have to select the circuit endpoints and traffic type and the Circuit Wizard does the rest. The Circuit Wizard automatically configures the network settings to perform network provisioning. Monitor ICON Networks Via a Graphical Display
View the status of each ICON node and associated line links. You can drill into each node to show statuses, events, and bandwidth provisioning. You can also monitor the performance of TDM and Ethernet communications using comprehensive network statistics. Capture Event Information
The event log tool in SEL-5051 Client Software tracks user access and activity at each node. This information is stored on the Server Module and can be downloaded as required. The stored information includes valid and invalid login attempts, session statistics, login and logout times, and configuration history. You can filter and sort event logs and store event log information in a file or download it to create paper records. If a user exceeds the allowable counts for specific events, the software will generate alarms. SEL-5052 Server Software offers centralized management of event logs. Manage Network Alarms
View, sort, filter, and archive the time-stamped alarm history for each node on the network. SNMP traps let you securely send alarms (based on severity) to third-party software to aggregate system alarms. Since major alarms also raise many minor alarms, some filtering is helpful for quicker diagnosis of network problems. SEL-5052 Server Software offers centralized management of alarms. Perform System Health Checks
The system health check feature in SEL-5052 Server Software checks ICON networks for common configuration errors that can prevent systems from operating as desired.Secure the Network
Improve the security of the ICON network by having your LDAP servers authenticate and authorize users on the ICON network. Once set up, the login mode allows LDAP or local authentication. The software can also automatically generate security reports for compliance with NERC CIP security logging.
