nano3GAP Operations Manual Introduction

1 Introduction

This document provides information on managing and troubleshooting the ip.access

nano3GAP-4 AP, an indoor local area access point.

1.1 Overview

This manual is intended for use by individuals engaged in the day-to-day management of

the nano3GAPs. It describes direct operation, administration and maintenance of the APs.

1.1.1 Configuration from a Provisioning PC

The nano3GAP includes a web server that can be accessed via a web browser running on

the provisioning PC. The web server can be used during commissioning only because it is

only available when the AP is in the factory reset state.

For instructions, see [INST_300].

1.1.2 Configuration and Administration from the OMC-R Client

A nano3GAP can be configured and managed from the OMC-R Client, a Java application

that can run on Windows. It connects to the OMC-R Server, which in turn connects to one

or more ACs. Hence, the OMC-R Client can provide a view of the whole network. This

view may be restricted according to user permissions.

Following commissioning (see [INST_300]), nano3GAP objects are created automatically

by the AC to

which the AP first connected. Once a 3GAP object has connected to a

nano3G AC, they are visible in the OMC-R, and they can be configured and managed

remotely. When a nano3GAP has been added to the database, its configuration attributes

can be changed in the OMC-R Client and additional features, such as Measurement

Functions, can be used with the nano3GAP. Furthermore, the OMC-R Client has full alarm

management capability. Alarm notifications from a nano3GAP or the controlling AC are

grouped into lifecycles according to the unique ID of the object that raised an alarm.

Hence, the alarm status of a particular object can be tracked as it changes, until the

lifecycles ends when the alarm clears. Alarms can be acknowledged and optionally notes

may be added to an alarm.
