			Features & Benefits Fast, Effective Problem Resolution 3Com® Network Supervisor is an easy-to-use management application that graphically discovers, maps, and displays network links and IP devices, including 3Com NBX® telephones and some popular third-party products. It maps devices and connections so you can easily monitor stress levels, set thresholds and alerts, view network events, generate reports in user-defined formats, and launch device configuration tools. What's more, when your network changes, you can prompt 3Com Network Supervisor to regenerate the appropriate part of the map to ensure that you have current information.
