The InCharge™ NMS is a standalone WLAN management system that centralizes all configuration, performance monitoring, fault management, and troubleshooting functions for the Colubris Intelligent MultiService System. Designed to simplify deployment and minimize network operational costs, the InCharge NMS features an embedded database and scales easily from small WLANs to large networks servicing tens of thousands of client devices. Because it communicates with multiservice controllers and access points using standard Internet protocols, InCharge can manage any network topology, from a local campus network to a large, geographically-distributed network that spans hundreds of locations. |
InCharge is offered as a turn-key appliance that is quick and easy to install, or as application software that runs on a standard PC server. An intuitive web GUI makes configuration and ongoing management easy no matter which model you choose. Licensing for the InCharge NMS is based on network size, making it a cost-effective management solution for networks ranging from fifty to thousands of access points.
