To navigate the challenges that come with managing Ethernet switchers in AV-over-IP, Netgear’s Engage Controller has emerged as a solution that is designed to streamline AV-over-IP installations and revolutionise network management.
The Netgear Engage Controller is compatible with the M4250, M4300, M4350, and M4500 switch series.
One of its standout features is its automatic detection of all switches in a network, significantly reducing manual effort. This automatic detection also allows for one-click firmware upgrades.
The the Engage Controller also features a visual AV user interface, enabling even non-network specialists to manage switches seamlessly. IT administrators and AV professionals can now configure and manage port-based profiles with precision. The software also offers a visual network topology, giving users a clear overview of how their Netgear switches interact.
Portability is another key feature of the Engage Controller. Easily downloaded onto a USB thumb drive, the software can be run from any Windows, macOS, or Linux device without the need for a dedicated installation.
The Engage Controller also integrates other Netgear features like IGMP Plus, Auto-LAG, and Auto-Trunk.
