Description

Phy-FiXX™ is a revolutionary and advanced physical layer management suit providing enterprises with the ability to manage their Physical Layer infrastructure with a level of visibility & integration unique in the structured cabling industry. Using a combination of software, electronics and structured cabling products, Phy-FiXX enables users to track and manage their investment from planning through to design, procurement, installation, moves, adds and changes (MACs) and the eventual upgrade of the infrastructure, thereby spanning its entire lifecycle. Phy-FiXX Software is the central data manager for the Phy-FiXX system. It manages OSI Layer 1 infrastructure elements and provides instantaneous information to the IT Manager about connectivity on Phy-FiXX enabled channels. The software documents planned work orders and detects unplanned (ad hoc) changes to the network. It allows continuous monitoring of the complete physical channel from work area outlet to the active network device. Phy-FiXX software automatically monitors all connections and disconnections, identifies and confirms port availability and notifies the IT Manager of all unscheduled or unauthorized network cabling changes. All moves, adds, and changes (MACs) detected on the network are automatically updated in the database. Phy-FiXX software is a web based application that enables global network access by an unlimited number of users and provides cost effective and accurate network management. Phy-FiXX Reports allow the IT team to extract information contained in the Phy-FiXX system about the Layer 1 infrastructure and the assets connected to the infrastructure. Reports include information about assets, work orders, logs, MACs, and connectivity status of Phy-FiXX enabled channels. Phy-FiXX 96 Channel Software Licenses are used to enable activation of Phy-FiXX panels on Phy-FiXX scanners. Channel Licenses are installed on the Phy-FiXX server. Each 96 Channel License activates four scanner ports which is ideal for low density environments where the entire channel capacity of a scanner is not required. Multiple 96 Channel Licenses may be installed on a scanner to provide a solution matching the number of channels served by a scanner. 96 channel licenses can be added incrementally as additional channels are connected to the scanner. Each scanner may have up to six 96 Channel Licenses installed on it. 96 Channel Licenses may be added to a scanner at any time.
