Hitachi created Salira WebSAM so that operators would be able to manage network elements using standard browser software.
WebSAM contains the same functionality as Hitachi's Salira CLI, but it is presented in a familiar, browser-based graphical environment. This enables operators to perform network management tasks from remote locations. WebSAM is designed to view and access one Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and all subtended equipment at a time. WebSAM is an extremely intuitive tool that is based on a simplified navigational structure. Key tasks are driven by the navigation panel located on the left side of the window. WebSAM is organized into a number of command modes and sub-modes where related functions are grouped in a hierarchical tree structure. System maintenance and configuration commands are reserved for users with administrator privileges, while users with lower access levels can only perform provisioning tasks or view statistics and status information.
WebSAM enables cost-effective network management for small-scale and starter deployments.
