Control and monitoring functions may be applied at both network and single-element levels:

• Network level - PowerView Pro can monitor and configure any number of Midspans. The system may be managed via MIB-based management platforms, such as HP OpenView or SNMPc.
• Element level - Single element management is performed at both unit and single-port levels. Parameters that may be directly retrieved from Midspans include: product identification, active power source, product status and unit power consumption. Single-port level parameters include: maximum per-port power, port priority level, port status and the type of powered device connected to the port.

Note: A PoE Midspan (PoE injector) resides between the Ethernet switch and the data terminals, delivering data, along with power, from switch to powered devices. It is a highly effective means for injecting power into LAN cables.

• Real-time remote PoE monitoring and configuration via:
  1. Secure Web management (SSL)
  2. Secure SNMP (though SNMPv3)
  3. Telnet (Terminal over Network)
