Product Overview
Introduction
The HMX Manager is a secure, web browser-based, centralized enterprise management solution
that allows users to remotely manage and monitor multiple HMX extender systems. The HMX
extender system, which includes a transmitter and a user station, provides users with a full
computer desktop experience from anywhere on the corporate TCP/IP network, while maintaining
the computers securely housed in a corporate data center. The addition of the HMX Manager
appliance allows the user stations and transmitters that comprise the HMX system to operate in
Desktop mode. This mode allows a user to log in to any HMX user station and the system will
connect automatically to the transmitter that has been assigned to that user. Through Desktop
Mode, the HMX Manager appliance allows administrators to remotely manage and monitor the
networks of user stations and transmitters that comprise the HMX system.
NOTE: For more information on the user stations and transmitters that comprise the HMX extender system, see
the HMX System Installer/User Guide.
Features and benefits
Web-based access and control
As a web browser-based management solution, the HMX Manager appliance provides the
operations, administration and maintenance interface for the HMX system. It also manages
authentication, authorization, initiation and removal of media sessions between the user station and
transmitter. The HMX Manager appliance provides a centralized database for storing
configuration, user, unit and system information allowing administrators to add, remove, delete and
change settings for managed appliances and users. In addition, the HMX Manager enables
authentication, access control, logging events and monitoring of target computers.
Security
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption is used to encrypt HMX Manager system data. Users are
authenticated using the HMX Manager internal database. For management functions, the HMX
Manager uses HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol with SSL encryption) to interact with the HMX
system.
