You can manage your
groups and ID pools from the Device Command and Control User Interface
(DCC-UI). Click
Groups and
IDs to access the interface. You can view, add, update or delete
groups, group types, ID pools and ID pool types. You can use the export option
to view all defined parameters for your groups in one CSV file. You can use the
import option to import parameters for multiple groups within a group type,
using one CSV file.
The RMS manages
devices according to their groupings. You can create any number of group types
in the RMS. Devices can be assigned to one or multiple groups automatically
during registration.
The significance of
groups is the ability to set configuration or system operational parameters on
group objects that are applied to all devices belonging to a group. The Femto
Gateway groups determine the public IP address of the SeGW and private IP
address of the HNB-GW. Area groups may determine settings that are specific to
a country or other areas such as target frequencies, PLMN, etc.
The RMS supports the
concept of automatic assignment of unique IDs for devices from a pool or range
of available values. This feature can be used to assign unique Cell ID, SAC,
CGI, Broadcast SAI, etc. A unique value is assigned from a pool and stored as a
property in the RMS. This property is then referenced in configuration
templates in order to configure devices. Until the device is de-commissioned,
the assigned value remains reserved for this device.
You must have
read-write permission to perform these operations. If you have read-only
permission, you can export or view the information, only.
