Availability:
This feature is introduced in M2000 V200R013C00. 

Summary:

The antenna management system provides GUIs that are based on the B/S architecture. On the GUIs, users can perform centralized operation and maintenance on eRelay  ALDs. The client of the antenna management system accesses the server using HTTPS to ensure data transmission security.  

Benefits:

This feature brings about the following benefits:
?  Telecom operators can remotely and centrally maintain ALDs, without the need for a site visit. This reduces the operators OPEX. 
?  A user-friendly GUI is provided, which simplifies operations. This helps users focus on important maintenance work and significantly improves maintenance efficiency. 
?  This feature allows users to add, adjust, and upgrade ALDs in batches. Maintenance workforce and manual errors are therefore reduced. 

?  The B/S structure allows users to manage ALDs using a web browser without the need for installing the client software. 

Description:
The M2000 displays the NE topology view of the antenna management feature based on the hierarchical structure of NEs. Users can select multiple eRelay NEs from the NE topology view and perform batch operations on ALDs, such as power supply management, configuration management, software management, and log management. This improves 

maintenance efficiency. 

The antenna management system provides the following functions: 
?  ALD power supply management
Users can query the states of ALD power supply switches and the alarm thresholds of the current. Users can also set the states of ALD power supply switches and the alarm thresholds of the current in batches on the GUI, or set the information in a file and import the file to the M2000 to achieve batch settings. Users can customize the types of non-standard ALD power supply systems. 
?  ALD configuration management

Users can manage ALDs and ALD parameters, such as querying, scanning, adding, modifying, and deleting ALDs and ALD parameters. 

The ALDs that can be managed include remote electrical tilts (RETs) and smart tower-mounted amplifiers (STMAs). The following configuration management functions are provided for RETs and STMAs:

?  RET: querying parameter information, calibrating the tilt, setting the tilt, resetting the RET, and downloading configuration data. 

?  STMA: querying parameter information, and setting gains and working modes. To add RETs and SMTAs or modify their parameters in batches, users can add and reconfigure RET and STMA parameters in an XLS or XML file and then import the file to the M2000. 

The M2000also allows users to export the configuration data of ALDs to an XML or XLS file. The exported configuration data includes the supplier code, SN, and software and hardware version information. The configuration data helps users collect inventory data about ALDs on the live network. 

?  ALD software management 
Users can check the current software versions of ALDs and upgrade ALD software in batches. 

?  ALD log management

Good effort to achieve the crown.
