MIIM Software is the central data manager for the MIIM system. It manages OSI Layer 1 infrastructure elements and provides instantaneous information to the IT Manager about connectivity on MIIM enabled channels. The software documents planned work orders and detects unplanned changes to the network. It allows continuous monitoring of the complete physical channel from work area outlet to the active network device. MIIM software automatically monitors connections and disconnections, identifies and confirms port availability and notifies the IT Manager of all unscheduled or unauthorized network cabling changes. All moves, adds, and changes (MACs) detected on the network are automatically updated in the database. MIIM software is a web based application that enables global network access by an unlimited number of users and provides cost effective and accurate network management.

The discovery module includes periodic global discovery of devices on all MIIM enabled channels, on-demand discovery of all devices attached to a particular switch, and Event-Driven Discovery. MIIM’s unique Event-Driven Discovery is initiated when a device is added to a complete channel. After the device is detected, MIIM determines the IP Address, MAC address and MachineName of the device and associates this information to the data channel.
MIIM’s SNMP module provides the ability to forward MIIM messages to any SNMP receiver. Multiple SNMP clients may be configured individually to receive a subset of MIIM messages or all messages.

MIIM Reports allow the IT team to extract information contained in the MIIM system about the Layer 1 infrastructure and the assets connected to the infrastructure. Reports include information about assets, work orders, logs, MACs, and connectivity status of MIIM enabled channels.
