AWMS Installation

The Missing Required software


AWMS Installation (MySQL Instal)


AWMS Installation

MySQL and JDK version should match to the required one. You can check it from below screenshot.


AWMS Installation


AWMS Installation(Configure)



Customize the MySQL DB User Name and Password.


AWMS License activation


Launch the AWMS

AWMS CCS and Proxy can be launched by selecting start->all programs->AWMS->Central control server And start->all programs->AWMS->proxy server respectively.

“CCS is started”


Launch the AWMS

Proxy is started


AWMS Client Startup

AWMS default root user is:Username: rootPassword: ims


AWMS GUI Main Window


AWMS Operations


SNMP Setup In AP (A2 and C1 GUI is shown)

Before operating the AWMS, make sure the SNMP Setup have

been finished in AP and keep AP and AWMS client in same IP

segment.

Below is an example for SNMP setup in AP.

Read/Write Community are SNMP

access security strings

Access Subnet IP/Mask: AWMS proxy

domain

Notification Server: AWMS proxy IP

address

SNMP v3 configuration of B5

Make sure the items below

are same with the snmpv3

file.



Go to the AWMS installation path “Altai Technologies>AWMS>Proxy” and you can

find the file name snmpv3. Open it in txt and make sure or change the

configurations are same with the configuration of B5/B5Lite/B5 CPE.

The parameters includes username, password, security,

privacy password, privacy protocol. After changing the

parameters in this file, you need to save it and restart

AWMS proxy


AWMS Proxy Registration, NE finding

Select Proxy->Add Proxy… and bring up the Proxy Registration window.Under the tab Description, configure the following properly: Proxy Name: The name of the Proxy name. Description: A brief description for the

corresponding Proxy Server. (Optional) IP Address: The IP address of the Proxy

Server. In-Service: Status of the Proxy Server. The

Proxy Server is active when the box is checked under the CCS, otherwise it is inactive.



After the box of “SNMP Discovery Enabled” is checked, the following can be configuredunder Configuration Task:

Start IP: The beginning IP address of the IP address range. The range of IP addresses isused to define the managed area under the Proxy Server.

End IP: The end IP address of the IP address range.

Net Mask: The subnet mask of the IP address range. Read Community String: Allows AWMS to issue “Get” and “GetNext” messagesthrough SNMP. This value should be the same as the corresponding value in NE,otherwise AWMS cannot read the configuration from the NE. By default, the value ispublic.

Write Community String: Allows AWMS to issue “Set” messages through SNMP. Thisvalue should be same as the corresponding value in NE, otherwise AWMS cannot writethe configuration from the NE. By default, the value is netman.

Port: The port for the Proxy Server to communicate with NEs. By default, the value is161.


Automatic NE Discovery—SNMP V2cFor A8n/A8/A2N/C1/C1n

• In Proxies and Maps Tree, select one proxy to discover NEs. Right click, select Proxy Registration…

• Uncheck “In-Service” checkbox and click “Save” button. • Switch to the SNMP Discovery Configuration tab, fill in Start IP, End IP…• Click the “Add” button. Click “Save” button.• Put the registered proxy in service

NOTE: Proxy Sever should not be In-Service before proceed to the SNMP Discovery Configuration since it cannot be modified if the corresponding Proxy Server is in service.



• In Proxies and Maps Tree, select one proxy to discover NEs. Right click, select Proxy Registration…

• Uncheck “In-Service” checkbox and click “Save” button. • Switch to the SNMP Discovery Configuration tab, fill in Start IP, End IP…• Click the “Add” button. Click “Save” button.• Put the registered proxy in service

NOTE: Proxy Sever should not be In-Service before proceed to the SNMP Discovery Configuration since it cannot be modified if the corresponding Proxy Server is in service.



After configuring the CCS and the Proxy (in service) properly, the Proxy will begin NE discovery automatically.

When the Proxy(s) discovers unregistered NEs, the NEs will be shown as Unregistered NEs under the defined Proxy in the Network Topology Tree.

Select the Unregistered NE, Right Click, select on “Register As Managed”. Then you can use AWMS to manage the AP.


NE Registration

Managed: The NE you want to

manage. Can

be configured by AWMS.

External: The NE is not part of

managed

network.

Rogue: The unauthorized NE which

may

potentially be a security

breach.


Topology Management

– Adding Map

– Add NE to Map

– Grouping NE by Map


Topology Management(Map)

To add a new map in AWMS Client,1. Select Topology->Add Map… from the main menu.2. Under the Map Basic Information, configure the following properly, then click Next>.



Please click a point with known coordinate! 3 reference points should be as far as possible, better at the three corners of the map, to provide better calibration result.


Put NE on the Network Map by drag and drop

Network topology and

NE locations are shown

clearly in network map

for easy monitoring


Network Element Grouping

NE can be grouped by

different geographical

locations


Configuration Management

– Single/mass NE configuration

– Template based configuration


Configuration Management(NE Provisioning)


Single/mass NE configuration

Right click, select NE

Configuration


Template Based Configuration

Multiple NE can be

configuration at the

same time

Template can be

selected at ease

Different

configuration

templates can be

created and edited


Fault Management

Real-time alarm collection and reporting

Visual fault alert via network map

Alarm acknowledgement and forced deletion

Real-time Alarm Reporting

Alarm severity at different colors can be easily seen at a glance

Detailed list of

alarms


Visual Network Fault via Network Map

Alarm locations can

be easily identified

by referring to the

network map

Details of NE alarm

can be shown by

clicking the icon

Location of NE can

be shown in

network map by

clicking the list


Alarm Management(Filtering, ACK)


Performance Management(Report generation)


Security Management(Role Setting)

In the Function Set List, there are four defined function sets:1. Monitor users could only monitor the status of the

network and acknowledge the alarms.2. Besides monitoring the network, Operator users are

allowed to have some levels of access right of configuration.

3. Admin users have even higher access right of configuration than Operator users.

4. Root users not only have the access right to configure all the settings but also could create new user accounts and function sets.



Besides the four defined function sets, users can create their own function sets:1. Right click anywhere on the Function Set List window and select Add

Function Set….Alternatively click Add… bottom in the right-lower corner of the Function Set List window.

2. Enter Function Set Name and Description in the pop-up Create Function Set window.
