ISDNwatch™ is a network management tool for ISDN data networks with particular emphasis on cost control and call visibility. It’s easy to read graphical interface gives an instant visual representation of the amount of time your router is spending connected, when it is connected and to where.

Alerts can be sent by email, SMS, network broadcast or by SNMP trap. This final method allows the package to work as an integrated part of any Network Management system such as Netwatch so that all alerts are centralised making it easier to co-ordinate a response. It also means that ISDNwatch™ becomes an invisible part of the overall process and requires little or no ongoing attention once installed.

Benefits: -

ISDNWatch can be configured to automatically shut down ‘rogue’ ISDN lines where appropriate and can also be used to schedule tests of remote routers. This is particularly interesting to companies who use ISDN for backup of mission critical network links, if their Frame Relay or leased line connections fail they need to be 100% sure that their backup will kick in.

ISDNWatch also has its own inbuilt reporting tool and an add-on billing module which allows users to generate ‘pre-emptive’ bills on an individual or departmental basis.

No new 1st level technical training required.
• Configurable alerts generated on ISDN usage over time.
• Web view of ISDN usage over 24 hour period.
• Fully confi gurable report generation for SLA and capacity management and trending.
• Automated ISDN line testing.

The functionality of ISDNwatch™ allows the user to set their own limits for ISDN usage and will alert them if these limits are exceeded thus greatly reducing the possibility of large unnecessary bills.
