DeviceExpert 5700 Release Notes

New features and Enhancements

  1. A new tab named 'Change' has been introduced to serve as a quick view of the 'big picture' related to configuration changes in entirety. This comes with convenient date-based filtering options
  2. Provision to view all configuration versions of any particular device on a single click from the device details page
  3. 'Configuration Diff' GUI has been enhanced from change tab with options to select the version numbers and view changes
  4. Option to launch direct TELNET/SSH connection to the remote devices from DeviceExpert web interface. This web-based implementation does not require any tools to be present on local machines and will be highly useful to access remote devices when one is away from office. It does not require VPN too
  5. Device details page has been enhanced with additional tools including ping, traceroute and option to launch HTTP/HTTPS connection to the device. These utilities will come in handy while debugging from remote locations even from tablet devices like ipad
