Network Administrator
Utility software
|
|
Network Administrator is optional utility software for the eClient that allows systems administrators to configure and maintain each client individually and from a remote location. Network Administrator 3.0 is the latest version and is now available for download free of charge.
Upgrading to Network Administrator 3.0
Please read the procedures for upgrading to Network Administrator 3.0.
Features:
- Controls several Clients on the network from one Console.
- The Network Administrator supports MMC snap-in and can be integrated with the standard management tool for Windows.
- Creates groups for eClients and then manage the entire group or each eClient within a group individually.
- With schedule setup, the startup of Client, the shutdown, the restart, the configuration distribution of Clients as well as firmware distribution can be performed on the specified time and day of the week.
- Since two or more NA Services can be controlled by one Console, distributed processing on a large-scale network is easy.
- Since the conjugate control of the NA Service is available with two or more Consoles, several administrators can manage it easily.
- NA Services record the operating state and work history of Clients on an event log.
- Operation analysis and extension with various tools are available, supporting the standard event log for Windows.
- Manages the EIZO monitor with remote control function connected via USB with the Client.
Note Regarding Search Function
If the search function is used in a large scale installation (100 units or more), the status indicator may read "Down" even when the eClient units are operating. This is because a communication error between Network Administrator and the console occurs occasionally. This command is intended for detecting terminals when first starting up Network Administrator, and not intended for normal use. Therefore, it is recommended that repetitive use of this function be avoided. To update console status, please use the "Refresh" command. Please note that the "Down" indication will have no effect on other functions.

Console |
Set commands and send them to the NA Service |
| NA Service |
Receives the commands from the Console, and manages the Clients. |
| Remote Boot Service |
Remote Boot Service is used to store or distribute the Firmware of Windows XPe-Embedded based Client(s). Install the Remote Boot Service into the same computer with the NA service. |
| FTP service |
Stores the Client configuration file(s) and the firmware file(s), and sends these files to the Client(s). |
| DHCP service |
Allocates IP addresses to the Clients with DHCP or sends the configuration to the Clients. (The Clients are set to refer to the DHCP server and allocate IP addresses at the factory default or right after firmware update. If not using the DHCP service, IP addresses must be set up in each Client directly.)
When using the Remote Boot Service, the Client requires the DHCP service. (Client, DHCP service and Remote Boot Service communicate mutually.)
|
| Terminal Server |
Is required when a user operates a Client. Must be logged off from the Clients when operating the Terminal Server (Client setup and management). |
| Clients |
| eClient |

Must have equipped Client setup management tool client software.
In use of eClient 530L, the Network Administrator requires OEM Software revision 3.19 or later.
