11 | NAVISET ADMINISTRATOR 2 USER’S GUIDE
Speed
In order to achieve a high operational speed when performing multiple operations on different remote devices, operations
to different devices are performed in parallel. The software supports multiple simultaneous network connections to
different devices, and operations are automatically queued and performed as soon as a connection is available. The
maximum number of simultaneous network connections can be congured in the Preferences settings.
Benets of using NaViSet Administrator
Some of the benets of using NaViSet Administrator are:
• Unied support for NEC desktop displays, large-screen displays, and projectors, as well as Windows
computers and non-NEC desktop displays.
• Reduction in technical support times and costs by accessing conguration settings for displays remotely
over the network, allowing many problems to be diagnosed and corrected without having to physically
access the device.
• Reduction in total power consumption by providing remote power management functions in order to turn
displays on or off. This feature can be fully automated so that the power state for multiple displays can be
controlled at specic times of the day.
• Settings and parameters can be read directly from a display, thus providing detailed information about the
display and its usage, such as its current settings and status. For example the total time that a display has
been powered on, or in a power saving mode, can be read and compiled into a report along with many
other items such as the model name, serial number, and date of manufacture.
• Powerful asset management with the use of an electronic Asset Tag that allows a text string to be
permanently stored within the display’s memory. This text string could, for example, be a conventional
asset tracking code, company name, department name, phone number etc. This can then be read by
NaViSet Administrator and used for asset tracking over a network. It can normally only be altered or
erased with the use of NaViSet Administrator, thus providing a more secure method of asset tracking than
conventional physical asset tags.
• The current setting values of all of the available controls in a display can be read, stored in the database,
and reported, thus providing a convenient snapshot of the conguration of each display.
• Conguring the settings in multiple displays to a standard can be done easily by creating a task with the
required setting values, thus providing a simple way to deploy a large number of displays with a standard
set of settings.
• Unauthorized or unintended adjustment of display monitors can be reduced by disabling the On Screen
Display (OSD) control buttons on a display.
• Alerts conditions can be automatically generated if a parameter on a device goes outside a specied range
or value. For example an administrator can be notied via email if a projector’s lamp is reaching the end of
it’s operational lifetime, or has failed.
• Basic information about displays connected to Windows computers via standard video connections such
as VGA, DVI, and Display Port, can be read even without installing any additional software. This includes
the make, model, serial number, resolution and date of manufacture. The computer can also be shut down,
restarted, and a Wake-on-LAN command issued.
• By installing the included DDC/CI WMI Provider on a Windows computer, more detailed information about
all connected displays can be read. Additionally, two-way control of NEC displays is available via standard
video connections such as VGA, DVI, and Display Port.
• Proof Of Play events can be read from supported large-screen displays, allowing detailed logging of events
that may impact the video or audio output of the display such as loss of signal, or a change in video input
selection.
