Rajant Corporation Enhances Advanced Diagnostic, Monitoring and Administrative Capabilities for Kinetic Mesh Networks
MALVERN, Pa. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Rajant
Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh Networks and provider of
pervasive, multi-frequency wireless solutions, today introduced RRADS,
an advanced network administration, monitoring and diagnostic tool that
automates many of the functions typically performed by remote network
support personnel.
With the introduction of RRADS, users of Rajant's Kinetic Mesh
Networking technology gain ready access to performance and usage data
from Rajant BreadCrumb nodes on the network. Armed with this
information, users are better able to make necessary adjustments and
optimize network performance without consulting technical support.
Each RRADS unit consists of a ruggedized CPU running an array of
advanced software tools. Accessible via any web browser, it tracks the
performance of network components via native API communications with
BreadCrumb nodes. Equipped with up three radios (to match the
frequencies of those in the network's BreadCrumbs), RRADS performs
packet capture across the network, and provides a graphic representation
of node connectivity.
RRADS leverages Rajant's robust BC | Commander administrative tool to
provide a graphical view of the entire BreadCrumb network. Available for
workstations running either Microsoft Windows or Linux, BC | Commander
establishes secure, encrypted links to each network node, providing
point-and-click BreadCrumb configuration, RF status for mesh and client
links, wireless client display, and a real-time view of network
topology. Client link security can also be configured up to
WPA2-Enterprise through BC | Commander.
A data trend graphing tool allows users to visualize BreadCrumb
performance and usage data in a familiar format. Typically used for
SNMP, a customized installation of Cacti has been included by Rajant to
work with its BreadCrumb API on RRADS.
Another innovative tool, NACK, automates the customer support function
by analyzing the network snapshots taken in BC|Commander. After
post-processing the data from BC|Commander, NACK generates an HTTP-based
report, which allows users to easily analyze BreadCrumb configuration
and interconnectivity.
"Rajant BreadCrumb networks are typically deployed in environments where
network availability and peak performance are not optional," said Rajant
CEO Bob Schena. "The essence of Kinetic Mesh Networking is mobility and
scalability, and giving users and administrators immediate access to
these administrative, monitoring and diagnostic tools provides an added
measure of support."
