iPATH Agility Controller

2. Introduction

Black Box Agility local and remote units allow multiple remote users to access host computers in a very flexible manner. Such
flexibility requires management and coordination – that is where the iPATH Agility Controller becomes vital.
iPATH Agility Controller is designed to promote the most efficient use of Agility units by allowing central control over any number
of transmitters (more commonly referred to as 'Channels' within iPATH Agility Controller) and receivers. Using the intuitive iPATH
Agility Controller web-based interface, one or more administrators can manage potentially thousands of users who are interacting
with an almost unlimited number of devices.
iPATH Agility Controller operates from a self-contained compact server unit that can be situated anywhere within your network,
as shown in Figure 2-1:
Figure 2-1. The iPATH Agility Controller connects to your network and provides administrative
control over the various Agility transmitters, receivers and their users.
Note: Although the Agility units require Gigabit Ethernet connections, in its administrative role, the iPATH Agility Controller
requires only a 10-/100-Mbps connection to the network.
The iPATH Agility Controller is supplied pre-loaded and is straightforward to deploy, requiring only a network connection and a
power input to begin operation. All configuration of your Agility transmitters (channels), receivers and users are performed using
the intuitive iPATH Agility Controller browser interface via a network connected computer.
