S4 Open: Console
All Systems and Appliances within the S4 Open family of
products are managed by this single Management Console. Being familiar with one
S4 Open Product means you are automatically familiar with all other S4 Open
Products. The Console uses Microsoft Windows'
Look & Feel which is the de facto state of the art in the User
Interface Technology.
This capability allows you to either
centrally manage all appliances in your network or distribute the
management responsibility as appropriate within your organization. Each S4
Open Appliance is identified by a name and can include further optional
administrative information such as a description, location and contact
person. After you assign a name to the Appliance this name will be used in
the S4 Open: Console for easy reference.
Any S4 Appliance can be secured against unauthorized access. This
security system integrates tightly into the well proven Microsoft Windows
NT C2 Security technology. This allows you to run a common security policy
in your enterprise based on this technology. Before a user can communicate
with the System they have to present their security credentials. The
system then checks whether the user is authorized to perform the desired
operation. This process can either be handled directly by the device or
delegated to your existing Domain Server.
The S4 Open: Console is based on Microsoft Management
Console technology and implements all requirements in the Microsoft style guide to certify for the
"designed for XP" or "designed for Vista" logo.
When you purchase and license any S4 Group,
Inc. product you may install the S4 Open: Console on as many Windows
desktop systems as you need to monitor and manage your enterprise.
Based on core routing technology, the S4 Open products enables
"mix-and-match" capability for your building automation systems.
