Server Settings ​

Introduction ​

Server Settings are a set of crucial parameters that control various aspects of the functioning of the ACS system. These settings range from frequency of communication with equipment to automatic updating and historical data management policies. Adjusting these settings correctly is essential to optimize system performance, efficiency and security.

Value Delivery ​

  • Performance optimization: Fine system adjustment for better efficiency.
  • What? Data management: Control over historical data collection and storage.
  • Automation: Facilitates system updates and maintenance.
  • Personalization: It adapts the system to the specific needs of the organisation.

Main Features ​

1. Periodic interval ​

Defines the frequency with which the equipment sends information to the ACS server.

  • How to configure:*
  1. Locate field Periodic interval.
  2. Specify the desired time in seconds.
A shorter interval provides more frequent updates, but can increase network traffic by slowing down depending on the server hardware.

The periodic interval determines the time when the equipment communicates with the ACS server. For example, if set to 5 minutes, the equipment will send updated information to the ACS server every 5 minutes. This data will be recorded in the database to keep the information up to date.

  • The CWMP protocol does not operate in real time, that is, it depends on this periodic sending to keep the communication active and the data updated.

2. Periodic History Collection Range ​

Sets the frequency of historical data collection for specific dashboards.

  • How to configure:*
  1. Set the desired interval (e.g. 12 minutes).
  2. Data will be stored for a corresponding period in days (e.g. 12 days).
History collection occurs in multiples of the main periodic interval.

Unlike the periodic interval, this function is focused on the regular collection of historical data from the equipment. It is possible to set a specific interval, which can be based on the periodic interval already defined in the equipment. These data are used to feed the dashboards WAN traffic and Connected Host History in the equipment summary section. Example: If we set the collection interval to 12 minutes, the system will gather the data every 12 minutes and store them for 12 days. However, if the periodic interval of the equipment is set for 5 minutes, the equipment will send information to IXC ACS every 5 minutes. Nevertheless, the collection and updating of historical data will occur only every 12 minutes within this period.

3. Size of Speed Test Files ​

Sets the sizes of files used in connection speed tests.

  • How to configure:*
  1. Specify values for Download and Upload (primary and secondary).
  2. Allowed values: 1MB to 1024MB.
Secondary tests are automatically triggered if the primary test is too fast.

4. Offline Device Exclusion ​

Automates the removal of inactive devices from the system after a specific period.

  • How to configure:*
  1. Activate the functionality.
  2. Set the number of days of inactivity before exclusion (minimum 5 days) Example: If we set the period to 5 days, daily the routine will check if there are devices in ACS that have been offline for 5 days. If you do, the system automatically removes them.
Note:

A log containing Serials is generated Numbers of equipment that were removed, ensuring the registration of these actions. Five. Automatic System Update Allows you to schedule automatic system updates.

  • How to configure:*
  1. Enable the option Automatic system update.
  2. Choose the desired time for updates.
Choose a time of low system usage to minimize impacts.

Final considerations ​

Server Settings are key to the efficient and personalized functioning of the ACS system. Adjusting these parameters correctly allows you to optimize performance, manage resources effectively and automate important tasks. It is crucial to periodically review these settings to ensure that they continue to meet the evolving needs of the organization and the network environment.
