HORIZONT 6 TWS/WebAdmin Netplans The netplan module can be installed on top of existing TWS/WebAdmin 2.0 installations.

The netplans are 100% online: Data is extracted directly from TWS, no “pre-processing” is needed. A separate administration program allows to modify the appearance of symbols, line colors etc. TWS/WebAdmin has “inherited” the graphic engine of TWS/Graph.
