•
Connection Request Password: Password that the ACS uses to initiate a connection request to
the CPE. The password read from CPEs is a null string, rather than the actual value.
•
Polling Interval: The interval at which the system reads all information of the specified CPEs,
checks whether the CPEs are connected, and updates the CPE status.
Query CPEs
Use this function to query and view CPEs in the BIMS. The query conditions include CPE name,
vendor, serial number, CPE status, IP address, and CPE class.
1.
Select the Service tab, and click Resource > All CPEs in the BIMS navigation tree to display
the All CPEs list page.
2. Enter the CPE name, vendor serial number and select the CPE status.
3. Click Query to view the matched CPE information.
4. Click Reset to restore the default query conditions and view the CPE information matching the
default query conditions.
Add CPEs
Use this function to add CPEs to BIMS. Specify the CPE parameters, including CPE name, Vendor,
OUI, Serial ID, CPE class, and CPE group. The Status of a CPE added in this way is unknown. After
the CPE passes the authentication, the CPE status is updated to its actual status.
NOTE: “CPE groups” refer to those groups of CPE which those operators identified as authorized
users of these groups can manage. If you select a CPE group, the CPE will be added to the specified
group; if you fail to select a CPE group for the CPE, or if the selected CPE group is deleted later,
then the CPE remains or becomes ungrouped. In this case, no other users can manage it.
If the selected CPE class is deleted, the CPE is placed in the “no class” list by default.
TIP: You can add CPEs quickly by scanning CPE Serial IDs with a barcode scanner. See Quickly
add CPE .
