Summary

The PRIME Network Manager application is used to monitor and manage PRIME power line networks. This application requires a hardware device connected to the power line.

The PRIME Network Manager can be used for:

• PIB management

• Testing embedded firmware

• Monitorizing embedded Sniffer

The PRIME Network Manager application with command line interface (CLI) capabilities was developed as an example of use based on the Universal Serial Interface (USI) available on the usi_host package. It can be executed on any Linux™ Host connected to an embedded device running the PRIME Base Node Modem project with a simple serial port-like interface.
