Excerpt
Excerpt A PLC network administrator can monitor the state and control elements using configuration management
functions. Hence, the network administrator can view all of the network states such as the state of
links between the master and the slave modems. The configuration manager consists of three modules:
the discovery module, which discovers managed network elements; topology module, which represents
associations among network elements; and map module, which graphically shows managed network
elements. |
