Your OvrC Hub just got much more powerful and reliable! Firmware version 3.0.0.2 is the first major update to the Hub since its launch in September, and it’s a doozy. Our new OvrC Embedded & Control Systems Team, formerly HouseLogix, completely re-built the entire Hub software from the ground up, introducing new features and utilizing the latest in technologies to ensure a rock-solid product.
Key Benefits
See More
– Multiple VLANs support – Monitor and scan devices across multiple VLANs
– Support Class B networks – Scan larger enterprise-sized networks that have up to 65K devices
Do More
– Scan for any web port – Add/modify the list of web service ports that the Hub scans for you to access the devices’ local UI (via Web Connect)
– Ping test any URL – Run ping tests to any external URL or local IP address to test latency and packet loss
Improved Performance
– Faster operations – At least a 4x in improvement
– More reliable – The connection and performance of the Hub is significantly improved
– Better data – More protocols are used to get better data about devices
Better Experience
– Completely new local UI – A redesigned local UI of the Hub is more user-friendly
Important Notes
All of the new features mentioned above are currently accessible through the local UI of the OvrC Hub only – not in OvrC. In another words, you have to click the Hub’s “Web Connect” from the Device List to get to the new features.
In future releases, we will incorporate these new features natively into OvrC.
If you have any issues with the update, please contact tech support at (866) 838-5052 or techsupport@ovrc.com
A Special Note from Chris Allen, OvrC Embedded & Control Systems Team Lead (formerly President of HouseLogix)
As the former President of HouseLogix, I’m excited to see how SnapAV continues to stand behind and evolve the OvrC platform. Even before our engineering team came on board, I used OvrC in my own house and to help manage our local A/V installation clients. Now that we have been part of SnapAV for 6 months, I’m even more excited about what is coming to help dealers (like HouseLogix used to be) grow their business, reduce customer calls, and move the whole industry in an exciting direction.
Our primary role since day one has been to couple our experience as an A/V integrator with the vast years of software and hardware engineering knowledge and completely rework the OvrC Pro Hub into a faster, more extensible and secure platform. This is evidenced by the recent release of version 3.0.0.2 which includes great new features like enhanced scan results with better host name discovery, detection of more devices, multiple VLAN support, a completely redesigned local UI which is mobile friendly and has tools such as a real-time ping and speed test.
There are so many features I cannot touch on in this short blog, but the most significant changes are the ones that you won’t even see. Under the hood almost nothing has been re-used from the previous version and we’ve designed the new code in a way that allows us to quickly roll out even more awesome features that are in the works.
