4 Resource management
Use this function to manage all CPEs in the BIMS, including managing CPEs, managing CPE classes,
importing/exporting CPEs, managing CPE interaction logs, operating CPEs in batches, and
managing CPE groups.
Import/export CPEs
The CPE exporting function exports the CPE information in the system and stores the information
in a local file. You can import the file into the system as needed. The CPE exporting/importing
function allows you to back up and reuse the CPE information, facilitating your management.
NOTE:
Only administrators are authorized to import and export CPEs.
The exported CPE file is saved only in the client, and is not backed up in the server.
You can customize the file to be imported. However, the customized file must meets the following
requirements in both parameters and format:
•
Only .txt or .csv files can be imported
•
Each imported file must contain, in left-to-right order, comma-separated values for
CPE name,
Serial ID, OUI, Vendor, and Class.
If the imported CPE exists in the BIMS system, then only the CPE name of the CPE will be modified.
(You can modify CPE names in batches. See
