Maintenance Overview


SVLive1 offers a real-time solution for supporting high performing environments and ensuring they are used as effectively as possible.

The core service is based on presenting real-time utilization data for utilization reporting, and Wayfinding technology for kiosks, laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

For the integrity of SVLive1 data, the efficacy of reporting over time, and cohesive Wayfinding services for staff across the portfolio, it is imperative to have full availability of the service to minimize loss of data.

SVLive1 works by analyzing the computer network to determine which users are connected to the network, whether they have been active recently, and where they are located.

The setup involves the following key areas:

LDM Maintenance

A small application installed on employee computers that tracks real-time usage and communicates user presence data to the MLS.

MLS Maintenance

A hardware solution installed on-site that unifies computer location data and user presence data from the LDM.

Wire-up Maintenance

An audit conducted to identify port and location information for all Ethernet or wireless access points at each location (This location data is essential for the performance of the MLS).

Wireless Access Points Maintenance for SVLive1 WAP add, remove, or move.

Interactivity with Network:

Switch Scanning SVLive1 MLS uses SNMP to communicate with the network switches. SNMP uses UDP to communicate so if there are any network bandwidth problems, the UDP traffic will be disregarded. MLS interact with the network switches using SNMP polling (every time period).
Internal Network Communication for SVLive1 LDM sends information it collects across the internal network to MLS over HTTP/HTTPS using a configurable TCP port (any port that is unreserved and can be binded to).
Outbound Network Communication for SVLive1 MLS sends information to Serraview securely over HTTPS.
