Remote Monitoring

The IS-SPX-1000 implements an intuitive on-board web interface. By connecting to
the IP address of a unit with any web browser, the user can monitor the status of the
unit and even configure specific parameters.
To support the management of a large distributed network of IS-SPX-1000 devices,
native support for the SNMP protocol is provided. Through this standard protocol, the
devices can publish all their vital parameters, including storage level and CPU status.
Via this protocol, the IS-SPX-1000 can interface with any SNMP network 
management.
These tools can provide graphical frameworks for remote monitoring the status of an
individual IS-SPX-1000 unit or a complex network of units.
