1 BIMS Introduction
Branch Intelligent Management System (BIMS) is an independent network management system. It
uses the
TR-069 protocol to remotely, centrally manage a large number of customer premises
equipment items ( CPE s). It solves problems in dynamic IP management, saves network maintenance
costs, and improves network management efficiency.
BIMS provides the resource management, service management, configuration management, alarm
management, report management, and system management for the CPEs, and manages the CPEs
in the service provider network. BIMS provides the following functions:
•
Resource Management: This function provides the following capabilities:
CPE Management: Provides the functionality for adding/deleting/querying/synchronizing
CPEs, viewing CPE details, viewing and modifying CPE configuration, modifying the
polling interval, and modifying access parameters. ◦
◦ CPE Additional Information: Use this function to configure and manage CPE additional
information.
◦ Import/Export CPEs: the functionality for importing/exporting CPEs.
◦ Batch Operation: Configures CPEs in batches to reduce repeated configurations for multiple
CPEs and facilitate CPE attribute configuration.
◦ CPE Interaction Log: Displays the information exchanged between the system and the
CPEs, such as the CPE request message and file upload complete notification.
•
CPE Group Management: Provides the functionality for assigning different privileges to different
authorized users by grouping CPEs.
•
Configuration Management: This function provides the following capabilities:
Configuration Template Library: The CPE configuration resources are the basis for setting
up the CPE configuration library. You can import the expected CPE configuration to
flexibly manage and deploy it. ◦
◦ Software Library: The CPE software resources are the basis for setting up the CPE software
library. You can import the expected CPE software, so that you can flexibly manage and
deploy these resources.
◦ Deployment Guide: Provides a simple, visual, and fast way of deploying CPE configuration
and CPE software.
◦ Deployment Task: BIMS implements configuration deployment and software deployment
in deployment tasks. You can view the current execution status and execution result of a
task, and create a new task as needed by copying and modifying an existing task.
◦ Configuration Center: Displays the current software and configuration information of all
CPEs.
◦ CPE Configuration Management: Displays the basic software information, configuration
backup history, and software deployment history of a single CPE.
◦ Backup CPE Configuration: Creates an automatic backup plan as needed. The system
can perform backup periodically as scheduled. In addition, you can manually backup
the configuration.
◦ Backup History Record: Provides the backup task execution results.
◦ General Configuration Comparison: Allows you to compare the configuration of the
specified device to the configuration of another device.
