Applies to 9.x 8.x 7.x

AdRem NetCrunch Administration Console is a Graphical User Interface which allows connecting locally or remotely to NetCrunch Server installed on a Windows machine.

The NetCrunch Premium and Premium XE editions provide AdRem NetCrunch Administration Console in separate installation files. As a result, it can be installed and used on many remote machines.

Administration Consoles

Locally used console, in contrary to the console run on a remote machine, allows compete management of NetCrunch Server, giving the access to all of its functionalities. You can install many NetCrunch Servers in the monitored networks.

In such a case, the multiple consoles can run on a remote machine simultaneously, having established connections with different NetCrunch Servers and receive event notifications from them independently.

To establish connections between NetCrunch Server and NetCrunch Administration Consoles the AdRem NetCrunch Connection Broker is used.

Local console functionality

There are some differences between the functionalities of NetCrunch Administration Console installed locally and remotely. Below is the list of functions that can only be set from the local administration console, installed on the machine where NetCrunch Server is running:

  • Selecting Key File, Certification File and Root Certification File.
  • Trend Exporter (available only on the local administration console).
  • Defining startup scripts.

Note The program utilizes one Remote Access license for each remote connection to NetCrunch Server, made by NetCrunch Administration Console or any Web Access connection. The first NetCrunch Administration Console connected locally to the NetCrunch Server does not use any license.

Each next console, connected to the same NetCrunch Server, utilizes one Remote Access license.
