Icon-Topo supports Mobile Unit (MU) mobility between HF Networks, enabling application communications over a wider area than a single ground station can provide. It provides a web interface for operators to monitor, control MU locations, and schedule movements, which in turn optimizes the configuration of applications and HF components for efficient communication,

Overview

Icon-Topo 3.0 is a major update to Icon-Topo that significantly improves manageability.

Single Server

Earlier releases of Icon-Topo used two independent servers for configuration and updates. Icon-Topo 3.0 combines these into a single server that performs both functions.

Icon-Topo configuration and update functions are sold independently, leading to three combinations:

1. Configuration only.

2. Update only, which provides read-only access to configuration.

3. Configuration and Update.

Server Status Monitoring

A new view monitors server status and shows several important connection statuses. Shown below:

Server Configuration Management

A new configuration UI is available; in previous releases, users handled configuration by editing an XML file.

General

Various other changes, including:

• Associated HFAPs are now optional for MUs.

• Added an option to set a local username/password to avoid lockout with network authentication.

• Configuration backup and restore.
