Key Cerebrum
features
Cerebrum is a Windows-based application whose advanced
functionality and broad range of features make life easier. The
brains behind your many and varied workflows, Cerebrum allows
users to remotely:
▪ Configure… a complex workflow in a short space of time.
▪ Manage & Report… events using hierarchical system status.
▪ Control… devices via an intuitive, user-friendly graphical
interface.
▪ Maintain… a workflow over its lifetime.
Cerebrum employs Ethernet communication to each device in your
chosen workflow, providing the ability to both configureand
monitor devices at local and remote sites. It uses an SQL database
to record, view and archive historical workflow events as well as
store the user-definable aspects of each device’s configuration. This
database can also be redeployed for the user’s own requirements via
ODBC or similar interface.
The application allows up to 64 user-groups to be defined. For each
group the level of access can be restricted, not only to program
functionality but also to control access of individual settings on
specific devices. Limitless users can be added and assigned to one
of these groups, each with their own unique password. This ensures
that Cerebrum can be used in operations where conditional access is
required, and as an administrative tool.
