Comprehensive analysis on how to optimize smart cabling Solutions

A reasonable and optimized smart cabling solution can make the enterprise's cabling system and network system run more stably. Therefore, it is useful to understand this knowledge, so I studied the issues that need to be paid attention to in the smart wiring solution. I will share them with you here, hoping they will be useful to you. Today, the development of information technology and the increasing demand for network applications make the network infrastructure more and more complex. As the business expands, many developing companies continue to expand their networks, the management of network infrastructure becomes more and more complex. How to reduce network failure time and simplify network MAC movement, increase, and change) maintenance time has become an increasingly serious problem in network management of many large and medium-sized enterprises. In China, after more than a decade of rapid development, the cabling project has started from the initial infrastructure period to the management and application period. The concept of smart cabling solutions has become more and more accepted.

In fact, smart cabling systems are not very new products. In foreign countries, the smart wiring solutions of many cabling manufacturers have already been applied. AMPTRAC, a real-time and smart cabling solution, was launched with the famous cable management software company iTRACS three years ago. By now, AMPTRAC has been improved for many times, and has won many important projects in Asia, with more and more mature products.

Both software and hardware
The AMPTRAC system implements a complete and organic combination of hardware and software systems. You can use this system to obtain the Configuration Structure and running status of the cabling and network systems in real time, it also monitors and generates alarms for various illegal operations through pre-defined policies. The system can also be integrated with existing network management systems such as HP OpenView, CA Unicenter, and IBM Tivoli to provide users with more complete management services. This system can change any cabling system and devices connected to it into a smart network, while reducing the cost and time consumption caused by manual management of the cabling system. The system is still based on the traditional modular Structured Cabling System of the AMP Netconnect 110. Users can use network products of any manufacturer, the difference is that the system adds a metal sensor pad on each RJ-45 port of the distribution frame), a metal pin is added to the outer side of the jumper, the metal pin is in contact with the sensor pad of the 110 distribution frame, 110 The distribution frame is connected to the network analyzer through an I/O cable. The network analyzer and iTracs software can monitor the connection status between the distribution frame and between the network equipment and the distribution frame in real time and dynamically. The combination of AMPTRAC hardware and iTRACS software system makes up for the lack of physical layer links in the previous integrated network management system, and is a revolutionary method for network control and archive management. This unified infrastructure management system can automatically generate a complete physical topology of the network system in a telecom or data center, and automatically manage it through the real-time physical layer, provides real-time and complete network fault diagnosis and disaster recovery documents, and continuously records the addition, movement, and deletion of network cabling systems in real time, this can significantly reduce the workload for network administrators to manually record network connections. When a network failure occurs, the network administrator can resolve the fault as quickly as possible, thus greatly reducing the losses caused by network downtime.

AMPTRAC system hardware consists of the following parts: analyzer, distribution frame port sensing bar, jumper, induction pen, connection cable, distribution frame. The AMPTRAC system software includes the iTRACS software package.

Analyzer
Analyzer is divided into enterprise-level and department-level. enterprise-level analyzer has three types of configurations: Independent, master, and connection. You can configure ports from 240 standard ports to 1920 according to your requirements.

Independent analyzer can be used independently, and cannot be connected to other analyzer master or connection types). The main analyzer cannot be connected to other master or independent analyzer, however, it can be connected to a maximum of nine connector analyzers. The connector analyzers are mainly used to expand the connection capabilities of the master analyzer, and the connection cable length cannot exceed 15 meters. Both stand-alone and master analyzer are connected to the database through 10BASE-T Ethernet and TCP/IP protocols.

Enterprise Analyzer
◆ The height is 1U or 6U.
◆ A 1U-height analyzer can monitor 240 ports
◆ Analyzer with a standard 6U height can monitor 480 ports. By adding an expansion card analyzer with six expansion slots, You can monitor up to 1920 ports.
◆ 240 ports can be monitored for each expansion card in the 6U height analyzer

Department-level Analyzer
The analyzer provides 128 monitoring ports through the DB25 connector and a RJ-45 Connector
◆ Two continuous outputs are provided to control the Expansion Device
