Belden PROVIZE Suite network management software

Belden has announced the release of its PROVIZE Suite, a network management software suite for industrial networks that includes the PROVIZE Planner network planning and configuration solution and PROVIZE Explorer, designed to simplify commissioning of Belden devices.

The company says that with the PROVIZE Suite, organisations gain a single, intuitive interface that empowers them to design networks, validate their designs’ viability, gain accurate bills of materials (BOMs) and configure Belden devices. PROVIZE Planner software features drag-and-drop network planning that lets users easily design configurations based on network intentions, while PROVIZE Explorer detects devices that have not been commissioned and allows users to verify security certificates and establish passwords and IPv4 addresses for multiple devices at one time.

A free base version of each tool is available, while the paid versions of PROVIZE Planner and PROVIZE Explorer provide access to advanced features.

The PROVIZE Suite introduces value-added features, including user experience enhancements for both products, port planning functionality and Command Line Interface (CLI) templates for streamlining the configuration of planned devices and subnet configuration in PROVIZE Planner, as well as configuration of multiple initial IPv4 assignments in PROVIZE Explorer.
