eLTE Industry Terminal Management
This topic describes the definition, benefits, application scenarios, functions, principles, application restrictions, availability, and key indicators of eLTE industry terminal management.
Definition
Large-scale Industry Terminal remote management in a centralized manner is supported. In addition, the full life cycle management capability is provided, including deployment, configuration, monitoring, and diagnosis.
Benefits
Batch operations can improve the maintenance efficiency and reduce service costs. The convenient and quick Industry Terminal access management capability is provided.
Function
PnP Device Access
- Automatically delivering configuration files
When an industry terminal is added to eSight, eSight automatically obtains and delivers the configuration file to the industry terminal based on the industry terminal model and version number.
- Automatically upgrading version files
After an industry terminal firmware version file is uploaded to eSight, eSight compares the current firmware version with the uploaded version file. If the versions do not match, eSight upgrades it to the uploaded version.
Configuration Management
- Basic information
Users can view and update basic information about Industry Terminals.
- Setting common parameters
Users can set the following common parameters for managed objects: WAN, LAN, eSight server, router, firewall, and service access.
- General configuration
Users can modify Industry Terminal parameters using the TR-069-compliant configuration model tree.
- Integrating the Industry Terminal web manager
Users can jump to the Industry Terminal web manager from eSight, and set advanced parameters for a single Industry Terminal.
- Exporting a configuration file
Users can export industry terminal configuration files for backup. Batch export is supported.
- Loading a configuration file
Users can load configuration files for industry terminals.
- Batch Configuration
Users can set parameters for multiple industry terminals in batches.
Monitoring and Maintenance
- Alarm Management
Users can manage the following industry terminal alarms: high temperature, low temperature, lower computer disconnection, lower computer quantity threshold-crossing, LAN port upstream exception, weak wireless signal coverage, login and logout, and untrusted industry terminal quantity threshold-crossing.
- Performing remote maintenance
Users can remotely restart Industry Terminals, restore factory defaults, and use the ping command to check the connectivity.
- Managing device logs
Users can view diagnosis and routing log files of industry terminals, download them to the server, and export them to the local PC. Batch export is supported.
- Monitoring LAN port peak rates
Users can monitor peak rates of incoming and outgoing traffic on LAN ports.
- Batch Restart
Users can use eSight to restart industry terminals in batches.
- Restoring devices to factory settings in batches
Users can use eSight to restore selected industry terminals to factory settings in batches. This is a high-risk operation.
- Setting and modifying authentication credentials
eSight enables users to modify authentication credentials for one or more terminals.
- Industry Terminal Status Monitoring
This feature offers a GUI to monitor the connectivity status of Industry Terminals in batches. Users can use this feature to monitor key Industry Terminals and rapidly detect device problems that may have a great impact on services. This feature allows a maximum of 5 users to simultaneously monitor the connectivity status of 200 devices, and intuitively displays the monitoring process, current status, and last-hour online rate trend in different colors, tables, and charts.
- Untrusted Industry Terminal Management
eSight receives Industry Terminal registration requests and records basic information about Industry Terminals in lists. Users can selectively move Industry Terminals from the untrusted Industry Terminal list to the authorized Industry Terminal list.
- Batch Upgrade
Users can upgrade the Industry Terminal firmware versions in batches instantly or as scheduled. Users can also customize upgrade policies when the current and target versions of NEs are the same. The number of upgrade tasks that can be concurrently executed is controlled by the file server egress bandwidth.
- Performance Management
eSight supports real-time and periodical collection and display of industry terminal indicators, including LAN port rate, receive signal strength indicator, reference signal receiving power, and downlink signal-to-noise ratio.
For the eM300-118, if a large number of performance collection units are connected to the same cell, the air interface capacity of the network may be affected. You are advised to limit the number of collection units in the same cell.
- Checking industry terminal connectivity
Users can perform ping operations over selected Industry Terminals in batches. Users can configure the packet size, times, and timeout for ping operations. After ping operations are complete, the following information is displayed: the number of sent and received packets, lost packets, estimated travel time, and shortest/longest/average latency.
- Industry Terminal and Lower Computer Connectivity Check
This function is used to check the connectivity between a single Industry Terminal and its lower computer. After users can select an industry terminal on eSight, and specify the IP address or IP address range of a host, eSight can remotely initiate ping operations from the Industry Terminal to the host. Users can configure the packet size, times, and timeout for ping operations.
Principle
eLTE industry terminal device management provides the capability to monitor and maintain industry terminal devices. Figure 3-112 shows the principle.
- An administrator connects a device.
- The connected device reports an alarm to eSight.
- The Industry Terminal device can be maintained remotely.
Key Parameters
- When deployed on a standard-configuration server, eSight can manage a maximum of 5,000 industry terminals.
- When deployed on a high-configuration server, eSight can manage a maximum of 20,000 industry terminals.
- Standard-configuration server: 12-core 2 GHz CPU, 32 GB memory, and 500 GB hard disk.
- High-configuration server: 40-core 2 GHz CPU, 64 GB memory, and 1 TB hard disk.
