Review: SEM3210

Review: SEM3210

High Tower pre-configures all the equipment before it is shipped to the end-user, so when the appliance arrives there are just a few simple steps to complete before it is online and ready to go. We found this product to be quite simple to use, thanks to the intuitive user interface that includes an easy-to-read dashboard-type console. We were impressed by the clean look of all parts of the console. This product displays a lot of vital information in one place in a clear manner.
