Overview of Nform Net Event Manager

7.2 Navigate Tab—Overview

The main features of the Navigate tab are:

• Viewing summary status, alarm history, and parametric data for any device in the navigation tree

• Tracking alarms in an event log and in user-specified files

• Responding to alarms

Access to the Navigate tab is unlimited; it can be viewed by the Administrator or the Power User

group. This permits any authorized user to view the status of monitored, managed devices and

respond to alarms.

The Navigate tab view varies, depending on the type of SNMP card installed in a device. A device

equipped with a Web-enabled SNMP card may be viewed with a Web browser. For devices with an

SNMP card that does not support HTML, Nform displays the data in tabular format.

For devices equipped with Web-enabled SNMP cards, the Navigate tab may be used to change con-

figuration settings, test a UPS battery and alter other settings.

These functions are performed through the Control and Configure tabs of the SNMP card’s Web dis-

play. These HTML tabs may be accessed by any user who has the SNMP card’s password. This means

that an Nform Power User with the SNMP card password would be able to alter some device settings

through the HTML interface.

The Navigate window has two parts. The left side displays all configured devices as a navigation tree,

and the right side shows information about any selected item in the tree.

The table below shows where to find detailed information about the Navigate tab’s functions.
