With the web-based and modular management platform Connectivity Suite 2.0, NetModule enables administrators to securely integrate, configure and manage the routers used in their network. According to the provider, the platform is powerful enough for projects with several hundred routers and can therefore grow with the application. As a central component, a dashboard provides an overview of the platform: The "Health" component indexes the status of the devices; the device list shows all routers with their characteristics (type, firmware version on online status) and which sub-networks they belong to; "Configuration" enables the preparation and management of settings and the "Deployment" function enables the import of configurations as well as the management of planned updates. Device management is also carried out via the dashboard. Routers can be optionally grouped to sort and simplify configurations and firmware updates. Individual devices or device groups can in turn be assigned to individual users or user groups. The platform contains a REST API that is integrated directly into the applications. REST stands for Representational_State_Transfer and is a software interface for M2M communication. The VPN connections between the platform and the routers are set up independently, with the certificates being distributed via OpenVPN.
