Superclick IP Management Solution (SIMS) CPE Alarm Report

Our SIMS CPE Alarm Report provides hotel staff with real-time monitoring that reports the status of IP devices running on the hotel's Guest HSIA network, including internet services, mini-bars, energy systems, VoIP and VOD services.

Based on our experience, we have discovered that one of the major SIMS issues that guests encounter, are ADSL modem connectivity issues. We found that the ADSL modems were either not connected properly or were disconnected. We have developed an on-line tutorial to help you understand the SIMS CPE Alarm Report and troubleshoot the ADSL modem connectivity issues.
