Synapse has announced its Portal PC-based software for configuring and controlling of synapse network appliance protocol (SNAP) and ZigBee wireless networks.

Synapse Portal network administration software allows the user to configure and change complex behavior of end devices without complex programming using simple scripts to define behavior.

Versions of Synapse Portal can also support up to 65,000 devices, provide an accessible application programming interface (API) for interfacing with third-party applications, and have Internet accessibility so users can configure, control, and monitor their network and devices from anywhere.

In a SNAP-based network as soon as a Synapse end device has been incorporated into the network, the PC-based Synapse Portal software administrator can be used to configure the behavior of the end device.

Key portal features:

- intuitive graphical display of network
- simple right-click interface for configuring end devices
- simple scripting for configuring end device behavior
- USB or serial port interface to coordinator module
- supports up to 65,000 end device modules
- allows LAN or internet access to the SNAP network
- allows configuration of end devices with simple scripts that download into the end device automatically
