Mango M2M features

Multiple-protocol
Mango can receive data from any device for which there is a protocol driver. Currently supported protocols include BACnet I/P, Modbus (ASCII, RTU, TCP, and UDP), 1-wire, SNMP, SQL, HTTP, POP3, NMEA 0183, and many proprietary protocols developed by hardware vendors. Mango also supports a "virtual" data source that can generate data for benchmarking or testing purposes. More protocols are being added regularly.
Meta points
Use scripts to create new points based upon the values of other points. Based upon Javascript, the most popular scripting language in the world, meta points allow for powerful combinations of point values as well as historical point information.
User-defined events
Tell Mango what events you are interested in. Users can define unlimited event criteria on points to detect conditions such as high and low limits, value changes, state change counts, and run-times.
Support for Internet Explorer 7 and FireFox
Full support of the two most popular browsers in the world.
Event handling
Any events that occur, either system or user defined, can be handled arbitrarily using user-defined event handlers. These handlers can send emails and escalations to mailing lists, or set values in Mango points.
Security
Your data resides where you install Mango, so you are in control. User permissions are defined by system administrators, and all communications with Mango can be secured with SSL (Secure Socket Layer), ensuring the privacy of your information.
Data logging
Each point can be configured with its own data logging and log purging characteristics.
Reports
Create and schedule reports for online viewing or email. Download data in CSV format for quick upload into spreadsheets or other data analysis programs.
Data publishing
Forward information gathered by Mango to other systems in your M2M architecture in on-event fashion for near real-time updating.
Quick charts and set points
Access and control is quick and up to date with Mango's roll-over charts and point set controls. The use of Ajax technology ensures that all of the information displayed is recent and relevent.
Watch lists
Create your own custom list of points that you want to watch. Easily add and remove points from the list to keep an eye on particular point values and alarms. Create named watch lists with your favourite groups of points. Instantly see multi-point graphs of the points on your list.
Point heirarchies
Create your own arbitrary hierarchies of points and point folders to organize your information the way you want to see it.
Graphical views
Create graphical representations of points upon your own backgrounds with drag and drop functionality. All roll-over charts controls and charts work the same in graphics as they do everywhere else.
Point details
View point detail information including current value, detailed tabular and graphical charts, alarms, event detectors, and user permissions. Set point controls are also available.
Active alarms list
All pages in the application include an indicator of the highest active alarm level. Use it to link to the active alarms list where you can see all active alarms at a glance. Read and add comments, and link to point details pages where actions can be taken
User memos
Users can comment on events and points so that valuable knowledge is not lost. Event comments are sent with email notifications so that all users are kept up to date on system status.
Event scheduling
Define events based upon time schedules. Events raised by schedules have access to all of the handling functionality that other events types have.
Automatic software updates
Be notified when new versions of Mango are available. Simply copy the new Mango version into your installation directory and all of your data will be updated automatically.
Pluggable image set library
Easily plug your own graphics library just by copying your images over.
Remote graphical views
Create portlets on your website that remotely display the views you create in Mango.
Alarm sounds
Hear sounds when alarms are raised in Mango.
