3.6 Day to Day Operations
An EMS operator performs several tasks during the initial deployment of the network and
adding end devices to the ULP network. For day to day operations of the ULP network, the EMS
operator does not need to use the EMS console directly.
In a typical ULP network deployment, the system can operate for months without ever
generating an EMS alarm event. For day to day operations, the EMS supports email alerts to
automatically notify operators of EMS alarms.
When the EMS generates an alarm email, the EMS operator uses the EMS console to
acknowledge the alarm and debug the reason for a given ULP alarm. Typically, the operator
might use a combination of console monitoring and email alerts to operate the system daily.
If the EMS operator uses the EMS console daily to maintain the ULP network, it is recommended
that they set up and use the email notification alarm system to help identify issues with the ULP
network. In general, the EMS console displays system-wide alarms without requiring additional
configuration.
The EMS contains alarm functionality to help diagnose issues at all levels of the network. The
EMS will generate alarms for issues with:
 Gateways
 Access Points
 End Devices (Nodes)
