Main Screens

You can access each of the main screens by clicking on the screen in the Navigation pane on the left side of the screen.

The following is a brief description of the main screens:

  • Dashboard – provides an overview of the status of your ZEN resources as well as a summary of recent activities and events in your ZEN system. See chapter Dashboard.
  • Maps - The Maps screen shows your Resources (Feeders, Broadcasters and Receivers) and other system objects (Sources and Targets) on a geographical map. Communications between these objects are displayed as connecting lines showing the direction of data flow. See chapter Maps.
  • Grids – Grids show a high density presentation of the resources and other objects that are configured in ZEN Master. Grids are highly configurable (objects displayed, info shown, screen layout etc.) enabling you to monitor the current status and performance of various objects in your system. See chapter Grids.
  • Incidents  The Incident view groups together related errors in a causal flow which simplifies the process of identifying the common root cause. ZEN Master identifies the object on which the initial error occurred and the network on which the channel is transmitted. It also suggests a likely cause of the incident. See chapter Incidents.
  • Zixi Edge Devices – displays all the ZEC, Feeders, and Receivers that are managed in ZEN Master. See chapter Zixi Edge Devices.
  • Broadcasters – displays all of your Zixi Broadcaster clusters that are managed in ZEN Master. For each cluster, information is shown about the clusters' status and performance, see Viewing Existing Clusters. On this screen, you can add new Broadcaster clusters and manage existing clusters.
