Introduction
PolyView is Ceragons powerful yet user-friendly NMS (Network Management System) that integrates
with other NMS platforms and systems in which no NMS is used. It provides management functions for
Ceragons FibeAir systems at the network level, as well as at the individual network element level.
Using PolyView, you can perform the following for Ceragon elements in the network:
y
Performance Reporting
Inventory Reporting
Software Download
Configuration Management
Trail Management
PolyView's user interface, CeraMap, enables fast and easy design of multi-layered network element
maps. CeraMap helps manage the network from its building stage to its ongoing maintenance and
configuration procedures.
PolyView supports all Ceragon FibeAir products, and compliments Ceragons CeraView and CeraWeb by
providing a higher (network) level of management support.
PolyView is implemented in Java, which enables it to run on different operating systems.
PolyView is security-protected, whereby configuration and software download operations can only be
performed by authorized system administrators.
Features
y
CeraMap user-friendly interface used to build graphic element network, and manage element
configuration and maintenance.
System Overview
The PolyView system consists of the following main components:
y
PolyView framework - the foundation on which all PolyView applications and services run
NMS plugable API Interface - the connection between PolyView and the NMS it integrates with
PolyView applications
The following illustrations show the PolyView system and how it integrates with other NMS platforms and
the network.
System Requirements
To run PolyView, your system requires the following specifications:
For Windows:
Minimum
(less than 50 elements)
Specification

Any type
Processor
Memory (RAM)
2 GB
120 GB
Operating System
Display Monitor
Ethernet Ports
For UNIX:

Hierachical Approach
PolyView operates in a hierarchical manner, whereby some operations will apply to selected network
elements and all sub-elements included in the one that was selected.
For example, consider the following network element map.
If the Root is selected, for some operations (such as software download), all relevant Ceragon elements in the
system will be affected by the specified operation.
If element A is selected, the operation will apply to A, A1, and A2. It will not apply to B, B1, and B2. For
the operation to apply to B and its sub-elements, both A and B must be selected.
If A1 or B1 are selected, the operation will include only A1 or B1 and all sub-elements related to them.
Installing PolyView
This section provides the PolyView installation procedure and pre-installation instructions.
Important: Note that firewalls may hinder PolyView installation. It is recommended to remove
firewall restrictions when installing the PolyView software.
Important: Note that for Windows, you must first install an FTP application; otherwise the
installation will fail.
Pre-Installation
Before you install PolyView, perform/check the following steps:
Close all applications.
An anti-virus program may inhibit the installation. If you experience a problem installing PolyView, try
disabling the anti-virus program for the duration of the installation.
Make sure you have administrator rights on the machine (root on UNIX).
Important! PolyView database is kept when upgrading from PolyView N6.1 release and above.
Upgrading from PolyView N6.01 or an older release will erase all previous data in the database. It is
highly recommended to backup the database before upgrading.
Restart the computer after the installation is complete.
Installation Procedure
PolyView and its related software is installed in the following order:
Install CeraView

4.
In the PolyView configuration file (located in the Config directory in the PolyView installation
directory), configure the Mail server.
If you are setting up a PolyView server, configure the TFTP server address and the full TFTP files
directory path. You must configure CeraView to use the same directory for TFTP files.
5.
Licensing:
When you install the PolyView server for the first time, it is installed with a demo license that will
give you one month of work with PolyView.
To obtain a permanent PolyView license, do the following:
a. Install PolyView (as explained above) and restart the machine.
b. Start CeraMap, and select Help, About.
c. Write down the Host ID number.
d. Contact Ceragon customer support and report the Host ID number.
e. When customer support sends you the license file, copy it to the PolyView/config directory
f. Restart the server.
g. Start CeraMap, select Help, About, and confirm the updated license information.
Getting Started
PolyView is operated through its CeraMap interface. All network element definitions, configurations, and
maintenance procedures are performed through the CeraMap interface.
Starting CeraMap
Start CeraMap by double-clicking the CeraMap icon
on the desktop.
In the CeraMap Login window, enter your user name and password, and click OK.
The main CeraMap window appears.
On the left side of the CeraMap window, click the right mouse button on the icon of the group to which
you want the element to belong (or the root icon, whereby the element will belong to the root list, and
not to a particular group), and select Add Network Element.
You can also select the root icon or a group, and, in the menu bar, select Edit, Add network element.
2. Specify the IP address of the element you want to add, and select User Defined Name if you
want to give it a name.
Note about IP Addresses for FibeAir IP-10 G-Series:
While each protected IP-10 G-Series network element represents two IP addresses, in PolyView
each one is displayed and treated as one IP address, of slot 1. Due to this convention, all NMS
functionality related to this protected node (reports, alarms, etc.) is done on behalf of the slot-1
IP address.
3. If you want to change the default SNMP parameters for the element, click the SNMP tab,and
set the parameter values you want, as shown in the example window above.
For IP-10 elements, select the IP-10 icon and click the Parameters tab to set the correct HTTP
communication protocol (HTTP or HTTPS), as shown in the following example window.
10
4. Click OK.
An icon representing the element you defined will appear on the map with the element's name and IP
address. The element will also appear in the list on the left side of the window.
In the following example, several elements were defined in the map.
11
On the left side of the CeraMap window, click the right mouse button on the root icon, or on the group
to which you want to add another group, and select Add Group.
You can also select the root icon or a group, and, in the menu bar, select Edit, Add Group.
Specify the name of the group, and select a site level (you can create an unlimited number of levels in
the map), or a different icon representing the type of group you want to create.
3.
If you want to change the background of the map, select Define background, and click Select.
4.
If you defined a background, you can also change the transparency of the background using the Opacity
slider.
5.
Click OK.
The group you defined will appear on the map and in the element list on the left side of the window.
The following example shows two groups that were created under the root group.
12
Creating a Symbol
Symbols are icons that represent different items (equipment, logos, etc.), but are not treated as
network elements by PolyView (for example, no polling is performed for symbols).
To add a symbol to the map:
1.
13
You must specify a name for the symbol in the Name field.
3.
Select Show name on map if you want the name you specified to appear on the map under the
symbol.
4.

16
Element/Group Properties
To view the properties of an element or a group, click the right button on an element or a group, and select
Properties.
You can also select an element or a group, and then select Edit, Properties in the menu bar.
Creating a Link
Links in the map show how elements and groups are connected in the network.
To create a link, select two elements or groups, click the right button on one of them, and select Add Link.
You can also select two elements or groups, and then select Edit, Add Link in the menu bar.
17
18
19
Place the cursor at the desired location in the map, click the right mouse button, and select Add Text.
You can also select Edit, Add Text in the menu bar.
In the Text field, enter the text you want to appear in the map. Each element can include up to 80
symbols.
3.
After you specify the text, you can customize it by selecting the desired attributes in the different fields.
Note that the font you select must exist on all computers running CeraMap. If the font you select does
not exist on a computer running CeraMap, the text will appear in a different font.
In addition, note that the Sample area may display only part of the actual text. The level of opacity is
not shown in the sample, and for border size, only the simple border style will be displayed.
20
21
In the map list on the left side of the window, select a group to which all newly discovered elements will
be added.
2.
22
The Discovery Scope area shows a list of existing Discovery Scope definitions.
Click Add to define a new scope.
23
24
In the Version field, select the SNMP version of the network elements you want to include in the
scan. The supported SNMP versions are V1, V2c, and V3.
Use the up/down button to specify the port used by the elements you want to include in the
scope, and enter the Read/Write communities the elements belong to.
Click OK.
Note: If you want, you can add more than one range or subnet, by clicking the Add button in the
Network Auto Discovery window.
4.
Notes:
- The duration of the discovery process depends on the network size and the connection speed. The time
may vary from several minutes to several hours.
- Newly discovered elements will be added to the group you selected. If a discovered element already
exists in the target group or in one of its sub-groups, the original element will be retained, and the
discovered one will not be added.
- During the process, PolyView will also search for connectivity between elements. If a connection
between elements is found, a link will automatically be generated for them and will appear in the map.
- If more than two elements are found to be linked, PolyView will create a sub-group for them, and all the
linked elements will be moved to that sub-group.
25
PolyView Security
This section explains how to set up PolyView security.
Note: For security reasons, security settings can only be run locally on the PolyView server machine.
26
In the main window (shown above), click Users, and select Add User.
The User Configuration window appears
Enter the new users name and password in the fields at the top of the window.
27
3.
In the Access by Subnet area, you can assign different access rights to the new user according to
subnet. For example, you can give the user Administrator rights on one subnet and Observer rights on
another.
Notes:
*
You cannot enter the same subnet twice for the same user.
If none of the subnets you entered match an IP the user tries to connect to, the user will be denied
access to that IP.
If more than one subnet matches an IP the user tries to connect to, the group that belongs to the
subnet that matches the IP the closest will be used for the IP access. For example, you created the
user Joe with the following rights: 172.24.0.0 : Observer, and 172.24.30.0 : Administrator. If Joe
requests access to 172.24.30.5, he will be granted Administrator rights for that IP. Even though
both subnets you assigned to Joe match the IP he requested, the subnet 172.24.30.0 is closer to the
IP than the other one.
In order to obtain default Observer rights for IP addresses that do not match any of the subnets in
the list, you need to assign the subnet 0.0.0.0 : Observer to the user, and the subnet mask must also
be 0.0.0.0.
Whenever a user performs an operation that is not applicable to a specific network element (such as
changing the security configuration) access permissions will be calculated by the "Default Access"
line (which contains the Subnet IP and Mask equal to 0.0.0.0). If a "Default Access" line does not
exist for a user, that user will not be able to access general network features.
In the main window, expand the Users list, and click the name of a user you want to work with.
28
Select Configure User to modify the user configuration as described in the section Creating a New
User above. The User Configuration window will appear for you to make changes.
3.
Select Copy User if you want to duplicate the user you selected. The Copy User window appears.
Select Delete User if you want to delete the user you selected.
Note that you cannot delete the Admin user.
5.
To import users from an external file to your current PolyView session, in the main security window
select File, Import Users.
29
To export users from your current PolyView session for the CeraView Security application or a
different PolyView session, in the main security window select File, Export Users.
In the main window, click Groups, and select Add read-only Group or Add read-write Group.
In the Enter Group Name window that appears, enter a name for the new group, and click OK.
In the main window, expand the Groups list, and click the name of the group you want to work with.
30
Select Configure Group to rename the group. Note that you cannot rename the Admin group.
Note that you cannot rename the Admin group.
3.
Select Copy Group if you want to duplicate the group you selected. The Copy Group window appears.
Enter the groups name, and click OK. A new group will be created with the same access rights as the
group you chose to copy.
4.
Select Delete Group if you want to delete the group you selected.
Note that you cannot delete the Admin group.
5.
For each group, to configure access rights for specific PolyView components, double-click the key icon
beside the component name. The Access Rights window appears.

Note: For security purposes, this utility can only be run locally on the PolyView server.
35
Used to set general parameters, such as server addresses and port numbers.
36
Used to set advanced parameters, such as SNMP related values and others.
1.
In the General section (shown above in Starting the Utility), select or enter values for the PolyView
Server port, SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server, and User Actions Logger port.
The "Sent By" Email Address will be used when the server sends reports by email.
The Keep Actions History field is used to specify the number of days PolyView will keep records of
user actions in its database.
In the Enable ENM Proxy field, select True if you want the ENM client to connect to an element via
PolyView. Note that to use this option, the ENM must be capable of working via a proxy.
If you selected True for this option, in the ENM Proxy Port Number field, specify the number of the
port from which PolyView will receive proxy requests.
For Enable HTTP/S Proxy, whenever the web browser does not have direct access to the network
element, the NMS server can act as a proxy to connect the web browser to that network element. Note
that the specific web browser must support the mode of working with the NMS server as proxy.
Selecting True for Allow Units have same IP enables you to have the same network element
(same IP) in different groups. Note that having more than one network element with the same
address, under the same group, is not permitted.

For Inactive Client Disconnect Time, specify the time (in minutes) of inactivity, after which the server
will disconnect the client. The value 0 means that an inactive client will not be disconnected. The
minimum value is 0; the maximum value is 30000.
For Allowed Consecutive Failed Logins, specify the number of times a user can attempt to login. After
the specified number of times, a management trap will be issued, and the user will not be able to log in
again for the amount of time specified by the Block User Period option.
For Block User Period, specify the number of minutes a user will not be able to log in after failing to
log in correctly the amount of times specified by the Allowed Consecutive Failed Logins option.
For Secured Client Connection, select True for a secure connection between the client and server. In
this configuration, the server will reject non-secure connections. In Secure mode, CeraMap and
CeraView (when using PolyView as a proxy) will automatically be set for secure communication.
5.
42
PolyView has built-in support for redundancy configuration. This configuration includes two PolyView
servers: a main server, which is generally active, and a secondary server, which is generally located at a
remote location and is in standby mode.
If the main server is down, the standby server can be configured to automatically take over. When the
main server starts again after a failure, the secondary server returns to standby mode. In standby mode,
the secondary server does not send traps or triggers.
In the Server Role field, select one of the following modes of operation:
Stand Alone - The default setting. No redundancy is configured.
Main Server - The main server, which will be connected to a secondary server. If no secondary
server exists, an alarm will be raised.
Standby - Auto Switch - The server is configured as a secondary server. After disconnection from
the main server for x minutes (user-defined), it will automatically take over from the main server.
When a connection to the main server is re-established, it will return to its standby state.
Standby-Mute - The server is configured as a secondary server, will operate in standby mode, but
will not automatically go to active mode when disconnected from the main server. The user must
manually configure it to start operating instead of the main server, by setting it to Standby-Active.
Standby-Active - The server is configured as a secondary server, will operate in active mode, and
will not automatically go to standby mode when a connection to the main server is resumed. The
user must manually configure it to stop operating, by setting it to Standby-Mute.
Main Server Host Address and Main Server Port are used only if you selected Standby in the Server
Role field.
Connection Timeout to Standby Server is used only if you selected Main Server in the Server Role
field. Specify the amount of time, in minutes, after which the main server will generate an alarm if it
was disconnected from the standby server.
Standby Activate Time is used only if you selected Standby - Auto Switch in the Server Role field.
Specify the amount of time, in minutes, after which the standby server will take over from the main
server if a failure occurred in the connection between them.
Standby Deactivate Time is used only if you selected Standby - Auto Switch in the Server Role field.
Specify the amount of time, in minutes, after which the standby server will be muted (stops sending
traps and triggers) when the main server resumes operation.
For Main - Standby Synchronization, select one of the following options:
Disabled - disables the synchronization feature.
Full (both directions) - causes changes in one server (main or standby) to be made in the other
server as well.
Only from Main to Standby - (recommended setting for normal system operation) causes changes
in the main server (for example, a new element is added), to be made in the standby server as well,
but not vice versa.
43
Only from Standby to Main - causes changes in the standby server to be made in the main server as
well, but not vice versa.
The following data will be included in the synchronization:
- Topology changes
- Trigger definitions
- Security settings
- Media files (images and sound files)
Note that configuration files are not synchronized, since they contain settings that may be different in
the main and standby servers.
For Sync Interval, specify the amount of time, in minutes, between synchronization updates.
Mute Standby Server Poll Mode is used only if you selected Standby in the Server Role field. The
options in this field are used to save network bandwidth.
Select one of the following options:
No Data Polled - When the secondary server is in standby mode, polling of data from network
elements will be disabled. When the server becomes active, polling will resume.
Poll Only Alarms - This is the recommended and default setting. When the secondary server is in
standby mode, only alarm information will be polled from network elements.
Poll Alarms and Inventory - When the secondary server is in standby mode, only alarm and
inventory information will be polled from network elements.
Poll All Data - When the secondary server is in standby, all data will be polled from elements.
Additional Server-Related Notes
If no connection is detected between the main and standby servers for more than x minutes (user
defined):
- It will raise the alarm No Connection with Standby Server
- In Auto mode, the secondary (standby) server becomes active, and will:
* start sending traps and triggers
* start accepting client connections
* raise the management alarm No Connection with Main Server
* start polling network elements
When the connection is resumed and is stable for y amount of time (user defined):
- The main server clears the No Connection with Standby Server alarm.
- If in Auto mode, the secondary (standby) server will go to standby mode, and will:
* clear the management alarm No Connection with Main Server
44
* notify about new client connections, and send the message Main server (IP) is active
to connected clients
* stop sending traps and triggers
* limit polling (by default, will only poll alarms)
When a security file is updated, the standby server reloads the file, and immediately begins to use it.
Network elements should be configured to send traps to both servers.
6.
45
For Max Initial Number of Alarms, specify the maximum number of alarms that will appear in the
alarm log when the window is open. By systems minimum is 1000 and the maximum is 50000.
In the Ignore Heartbeat field, select True to cause PolyView to disable the heartbeat feature. The
heartbeat is a trap that is sent by a network element every x amount of time (user defined). By default,
the trap is ignored by PolyView (it is not stored in the server database, not added to the alarm log, and
does not activate a trigger). However, if you configure trap forwarding, the heartbeat trap will be
forwarded, as is, regardless of the value you select for the Ignore Heartbeat parameter.
For Keep Alarms History, specify the number of days you want PolyView to keep alarm log
information. Note tha alarms that are open (raised) will be kept until they are closed, regardless of the
value you set for this option. The minimum value allowed is 5; the maximum value allowed is 365.
7.
46
In the SNMP Timeout field, select the amount of time (in seconds) the system will wait after an SNMP
command before timing out.
In the SNMP Number of Retries field, select the number of times an SNMP request will be made to an
element after a timeout.
In the SNMP Default Read Community field, specify the SNMP read community.
In the SNMP Default Write Community field, specify the SNMP write community.
In the Max Concurrent Tasks field, specify the amount of tasks you want PolyView to run
simultaneously.

Defining a Trail
To define an end-to-end trail:
1.
In CeraMap, select two Ceragon ADM elements at each end of the trail.
Note the following:
All trail-relevant data for all the elements that are part of the sub-map must be updated in the
database. Note that if a change in the trail was made via CeraView, the PolyView database may not
be updated.
PolyView automatically updates the database every few hours, depending on the system settings.
You can perform a manual update of the database by selecting all entities in the trail, and running
the Poll Node PolyView command (described later in this guide).
End point #2 must be reachable from end point #1 (at least one path).
76
The radio direction, East-West, must be valid. To verify this, run the validation utility by selecting
Trail, East-West Validation in the CeraMap menu bar.
2.
In the menu bar, select Trail, Create New Trail, or click the Create New Trail icon
77
In the Trail End Point area, select Drop if the unit will serve as an end-point in the trail without being
able to transmit data to sources outside the ring, or Pass-through if the unit will serve as an end-point in
the trail with the ability to transmit data to sources outside the ring.
If you selected Drop, click Select and choose the desired port.
4.
In the Trail Details area, select Enable Trail to activate the trail path.
5.
In the Name field, enter a unique name you want to assign to the trail. (It is recommended to use the
name that PolyView automatically generates.)

Note that the maximum number of entries that can be retrieved is limited. The amount of entries can be
configured in the user settings, whereby the default is 50,000). During report generation, you will be notified
when the maximum number of entries is reached. If this happens, try to select less interfaces to be included
in the report, or further limit the report date range.
Additional Report Operations
In addition to the operations mentioned above, you can also perform the following:
You can export the report data to a text file, or to an Microsoft Excel formatted file. To do so, select
File, Save as.
You can launch CeraView from a report. To do so, select a line, and then select Actions, Launch
Element Manager.
You can open an Inventory report. To do so, select a line, and then select Actions, Inventory Report.
You can automatically generate and send reports via the CLI (Command Line Interface). (For more
information about the CLI, see Appendix A at the end of this guide).
In the Report menu, you can select either 15-Minute Report, Daily Report, Weekly Report, or
Monthly Report for a summarized report based on the specified period.
Select Missing Interval Report to display the periods of time in which no activity was recorded.
In the Report menu, you can select Filter Zeros to exclude all zero values from the table.
92
Inventory Reports
Inventory reports provide information about the selected elements. The different inventory report types cover
different aspects of the Ceragon equipment operating at the site, such as element type, radio information, link
information, ADM information, and others.
The following types of inventory reports are available:
y
Slot Population
Network Element
Radio

96
Sorting Data
In a report generated by PolyView, you can sort the data in a column by clicking on the column title.
When you click on a column title, the data in the column is sorted as follows:
y
This is useful when it is important to group the data according to type or date.
In Performance reports, sorting some columns provides valuable grouped information, such as days on which
the most errors were detected.
97
After PolyView performs Discover Node, it will automatically perform Poll Node (described below).
Polling Nodes
To force PolyView to retrieve updated information from network elements (PolyView automatically polls all
elements every few hours, depending on the user configuration), select element(s) in CeraMap, and then
select Tools, Poll Node.
98
Click Apply.
Note that when Poll Node is executed, all existing information about the element (stored reports) is deleted.
Backup
PolyView uses an internal SQL database called MySQL. It is highly recommended that you back up this
database regularly.
Backup can be done using the tools provided with the database. However, to make this task easier, a backup
script called pvdbbackup can be found in the directory in which PolyView was installed.
The format of the script is as follows:
pvdbbackup [backup / restore] [[target path name]/[target file name]]
For example, the script for creating a backup and saving it in the file c:\temp\bkfile.dat would be as follows:
pvdbbackup backup c:\temp\bkfile.dat
To restore the backup from that file, the script would be:
pvdbbackup restore c:\temp\bkfile.dat
Note that backup can be performed while PolyView is running (known as hot backup). However, before
running a restore backup operation, the PolyView server must be terminated by typing pvstop in a command
window.
99
To view a single user's action information, select a user in the window, and click the Show User Actions
icon
. A user action log appears with a list of actions the user you selected performed within the last

Redundancy Support
PolyView has built-in support for redundancy configuration. The configuration includes two PolyView
servers: a primary server, which is generally active, and a secondary server, which is generally located at a
geographically remote site and is in standby mode. By default, data required for proper server operation
(such as topology and security information) is synchronized from the primary to the secondary server. The
administrator can also set the synchronization for both ways, or disable it altogether.
When the main server is down (disconnected from the secondary server), the secondary server automatically
(by default) takes over, begins polling the network, sends triggers, forwards traps to north-bound systems,
and so on. When the main server is up again, the secondary server automatically resumes standby mode.
If required, the administrator can also force the secondary server to enter active or standby mode.
By default, to conserve network bandwidth, while in standby mode, the secondary server only synchronizes
alarm information (if needed). The administrator can change this behavior and set the secondary server, in
standby mode, to poll inventory and performance monitoring information as well.
For more information about configuring PolyView redundancy, see PolyView Configuration Utility.
PolyView clients, such as CeraView (when working via PolyView) and CeraMap, have built-in support for
redundancy. When PolyView clients are activated, they will try to connect to the primary server first, and, if
unsuccessful, they will automatically try to connect to the secondary server (if one was configured).
When working with redundant servers, CeraView and CeraMap should be configured with the addresses of
the primary and secondary servers. For more information, see the section CeraMap Configuration Utility and
the CeraView Online Help.
Note that network elements should be configured to send traps to both servers.
The following illustration shows the built-in redundancy system.
110
Ping Window
The Ping window lists the attempts made by the server to connect with the element, and other connectivity
information, such as the connection speed.
To start a Trace Route operation, select an element in CeraMap, and then select Tools, Trace Route.
111
The Trace Route window displays the routing connectivity to the element (the path the packet takes on its
way to the element).
Install
- Install MySQL and PolyView on the new hardware platform.
Note that the PolyView version must be the same as that of the previous platform.
- After installation, you will have 30 days to obtain a new PolyView license for the new platform.
2.
Configure
- Copy the files in the PolyView configuration folder (*.cfg and *.sec) to the new platform.
- On the new platform, open the PolyView Configuration Utility and update the new IP in the TFTP
Server Address settings.
3.
Transfer Database
- On the old platform, run the command pvdbbackup backup <target filename>
- Copy the <target filename> to the new platform.
- On the new platform, run the command pvdbbackup restore <target filename>
4.
Configure Clients
- Configure CeraMap clients (and CeraView, if applicable) to access the new server.
112
113
CLI Functionality
CLI executables are a part of the PolyView installation (both client and server) and therefore the CLI can be
activated from any machine on which PolyView client or server is installed. There are two common working
modes.
Mode 1 - CLI Runs Locally on the Server
The report file is saved in the server machine under a known FTP directory. Assuming the FTP server is
enabled on the PolyView server machine, a remote machine should fetch the file using an FTP/SFTP client.
Advantage: The file can be copied via a known protocol (FTP/SFTP) which is sometimes the only option
when dealing with firewalls.
Mode 2 - CLI Runs on a Remote Machine
CLI runs as a remote client towards the server. The report is saved on the remote machine and there is no
need for FTP.
Advantages: No need for FTP, the client application copies the file.
114
Inventory Reports
This section describes the CLI interface for inventory reports.
Note: To integrate inventory report data in a north bound radio, all inventory data or the required relevant
sections can be saved as a csv or txt file. Using the PolyView FTP client, you can configure the system to
automatically send the inventory data file to the north bound computer (which needs to have an FTP server).
