SNMP credentials
The addition and the polling of the network devices is carried out via SNMP. The monitoring system uses the list of SNMP access details, which is edited in the "Settings" section. In the SNMP part of this section, the following data should be specified:
- List with the access details that are set on the wireless network devices.
- The network ports list which are set for the SNMP server operation on the wireless devices.

Adding network hosts
InfiMONITOR NEXT provides automatic, continuous device discovery. The connections of the devices already added to the monitoring system are continuously investigated. ThusThus, for monitoring the subscribers of the base station sector, it is enough to add only the sector itself. When When a new subscriber is connected to the sector, it will be detected and added automatically, in case there is the network connectivity between a monitoring system and a discovered device. You can manage the function in System configuration section.
There is also the possibility to add devices to the monitoring system manually. In In this case, the devices can be immediately added to the desired device group, while an automatically detected device will be added to the default device groupspecial group for auto-discovered devices, which is defind in Installation wizard.

The following networks are reserved by InfiMONITOR NEXT and unavailable for monitoring:
Please change your IP addresses of your wireless units if they are placed in these networks. |
To add network hosts, go to the "Management" section. This section provides a list of all the devices and groups added previously. The following parameters are displayed:
- "Host" - the device's name.
- "Status" - current device status.
- "Family" - the product family of this device model.
- "IP address" - device IP address list.
...
- Unicast - add one device by its IP address.
- Specify the device's IP address.
- Network - add multiple devices from a specific subnet.
- Specify the IP address and the network mask.
- Range - add multiple devices over a range of IP addresses.
- Specify the first and the last IP addresses of the range.

Then go to the "Device Groups" section and select the group to which the devices added in this job should be placed. Devices Devices not covered by the job, but discovered through this process will be placed to the Default Groupspecial group for auto-discovered devices.
To start the task, click on the "SaveCreate job" button.

Device adding procedure
A network node is not added immediately, but only after polling. The procedure is implemented in the following way:
After creating a job, the network nodes are queued for polling. At this stage, they are not yet added to the monitoring system and will not be reflected in the general list.
- InfiMONITOR NEXT will add a network node to the polling queue.
- The device will be added to the monitoring system only after a successful SNMP polling.
- If NEXT monitoring system could not access the network node via SNMP, then the polling of this device will be stopped.
To view the job status, click on the "Jobs" button and select the appropriate job in the list:
