iDiscover Training

This class is designed to teach students how to install, configure and utilize the iDiscover module. iDiscover is an iTRACS software module that uses Agents to locate, detect, and discover "intelligent" equipment on the network. iDiscover's job is to collect and communicate information to and from the designated iTRACS server. Information such as: IP address, MAC address, OID, switch, switch port, and host name, are retrieved. The information collected from found network devices comes in the form of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), or File System protocol data.

Administrative users working with iDiscover should have a strong understanding of the networking environment. This includes an understanding of the following concepts: switches, VLANS, routers, MAC addresses, IP addresses, ARP, SNMP, Windows Networking, TCP/IP, MIBs, Windows services, domain security, and structured cabling systems concepts. Upon completion, the students are authorized to design, implement and maintain a complete cable plant infrastructure database using iTRACS Intelligent Infrastructure Management (IIM) Software.

iTRACS Authorized iDiscover Engineer (iADE) certification requirements (as applicable for PSPs and OEMs): successful completion of the iDiscover pre-assessment and post-assessment exams, attend the one (1) day iDiscover class, and with the assistance of an iTRACS SE or current iADE, conduct an actual iDiscover implementation.
