Network Docent

Network Docent is developed to help AV operators in their daily job. The software scans and
visualizes the network environment, giving insight into all devices and cable-connections of a
network-based AV system. Network Docent is able to identify and provide guidance on solving
common and simple network errors that cause disruption or improper operation of the AV
system. As a result, Network Docent will reduce time and effort, when installing or operating a
network-based AV system.
As of version 3.2, the Network Docent software is installed as part of the DICENTIS software
package.
