ConneXium Network Manager
●Why do I need it?● For the same reason you need SCADA or HMI – to provide a window into
Ethernet network operation and improve plant productivity.
● Devices are displayed with port connections or names
● Devices are portrayed with appropriate icons if available
● Inactive portion of rings are shown as dashed
● Display can be customized, background diagram can be added to correspond to physical location
Schneider Electric
Device Support
●Wireless devices● Shows link status● Logs changes in access point location for roaming
●Unmanaged devices● Using Ping, finds devices within configured scan range.
●Third party● Supports third party devices via Ping and SNMP● Both infrastructure and end devices supported● Any SNMP enabled device can be configured and managed using CNM

Let’s Play
●Start the ConneXium Network Manager software
Schneider Electric
Set Scan Range
●Create a New Project
●Set the scan range
Schneider Electric
Active Scan Ranges
●Multiple ranges can be set
●The Active , the software will scan the devices in the active range
Schneider Electric
Device Discovery
●Displays devices found on the network
●SNMP●PING●Identity Object
●ConneXium Network Manager matches the devices to existing profile
Schneider Electric
Auto Topology
●Once all devices have been identified next step would be to see the logical layout of the network.
