EdenTree Lab Manager controls a wide range of physical layer switches
from third party manufacturers. These switches are used to
create a software-controlled switching infrastructure that replaces manual patch panels,
allowing network lab resources to be discovered, accessed,
reserved, and interconnected to each other through
EdenTree's drag-and-drop GUI or through API commands.
EdenTree's unrivaled management of lab switching infrastructure is made possible by the company's partnerships with leading switch manufacturers, and Lab Manager's tight integration with a constantly growing number of switches.
These integrations allow custom configuration of switching infrastructure for virtually any lab, accommodating any number or combination of interface types, including POTS/analog/DSL, T1/E1, DS3/E3, any rate Ethernet, Optical, Fibre Channel, RF/Coax, and others.
Lab Manager makes the switching infrastructure transparent
- Manage multiple manufacturer’s switches transparently from one system and one single user interface.
- Engineers using the system deal only with the end devices
they are using
- Manage multiple interconnected switches – cascaded, meshed, starred - to accommodate any size lab with any-to-any connectivity
- Easily tap connections, make/break connections, and otherwise control connections using EdenTree's patent-pending GUI features
Lab Manager provides control and visibility to the switching infrastructure when and where it's needed
- Auto-provision the switching infrastructure
- Right-click access to set or change port and connection characteristics - rates, auto-negotiation, T1/E1, Data/Voice, etc - per connection
- Enable/disable Retiming and other switch-specific features
- View the actual pathway taken through the switching infrastructure for any given connection
- View switch and SFP diagnostics and alarms
