Network Monitor Demo Application

The network monitor is a demo application which displays devices on a network in multiple views. The three views are network topology, device type and grid. Each device thumb displays real-time data and allows a user to click it for additional data. In lieu of a database, data is loaded on the server from an XML file which contains layout and initial device information. Pushed data is randomly generated on the server.

Downloads
