InfiMONITOR NEXT provides automatic, continuous device discovery. The connections of the devices already added to the monitoring system are continuously investigated. Thus, for monitoring the subscribers of the base station sector, it is enough to add only the sector itself. 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 this case, the devices can be immediately added to the desired device group, while an automatically detected device will be added to the special group for auto-discovered devices, which is defind in Installation wizard.
Before adding network nodes to the system, enable the SNMP support on each device. This process is described in the "Wireless devices preparation" section. |

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:
Adding new devices using jobs. To create a new job for adding devices, click on the "Add Hosts" button. In the "Information" section select the device type:
|
Then go to the "Device Groups" section and select the group to which the devices added in this job should be placed. Devices not covered by the job, but discovered through this process will be placed to the special group for auto-discovered devices.
To start the task, click on the "Create job" button.
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.
To view the job status, click on the "Jobs" button and select the appropriate job in the list:

Detailed information about the job will be displayed on the right.
