NETWORK OPERATION MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- employing a processor to execute code instructions retained in a memory, the code instructions when executed by the processor carry out the following acts;
receiving a status profile that configures a port in a site controller, wherein the status profile includes at least a set of conditions associated with operation of a device functionally linked to the port;
collecting data from the device in accordance at least in part with a polling condition in the received set of conditions and retaining the collected data in a memory;
when a status condition in the received set of conditions is fulfilled based at least in part on the collected data, delivering status information; and
conveying the collected data in accordance at least with the polling condition in the received set of conditions.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to monitor and control peripheral devices at a remote operational site. A management platform configures a site controller deployed at the operational site, wherein configuration specifies collection of data from the peripheral devices connected to the site controller. Conditions that monitor device status and specify device alarms triggers also can be configured. Commands, which can be part of a script, remotely control peripheral devices functionally coupled to the site controller. Collected data is conveyed through a wired or wireless link to management component, which stores the data for analysis and report generation, and can supply the data to an authorized terminal. Data and reports can be conveyed to one or more systems and mass storage functionally connected to the management component. Analysis includes data trend generation. Reports include features of observed and predicted data, and alarm summaries.

7. A controller, comprising:
-
a port platform that includes a set of ports functionally linked to a set of devices; an interface component that receives a status profile that configures a port in the port platform;
wherein the status profile includes at least a set of conditions associated with operation of a device functionally linked to the port;a data collection component that retrieves operation data from the device in accordance at least in part with a polling condition in the set of conditions; and a monitor component that conveys status information of the device when a status condition in the received set of conditions is fulfilled based at least in part on the retrieved data; and a component that delivers the retrieved data in accordance with the received status profile. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for monitoring and controlling remote network sites, the method comprising:
employing a processor to execute code instructions retained in a memory, the code instructions when executed by the processor carry out the following acts; granting or denying an access request based at least in part on requester credentials and an originating point of the access request; and when the access request in granted; receiving a request to monitor a first set of remote network sites, wherein the request includes a status profile that configures a port in a site controller and includes at least a set of conditions associated with operation of a device functionally connected to the controller through the port; conveying operational information gathered from the set of remote network sites in accordance at least in part with the received request; receiving a directive to control a sub-system in a second set of remote network sites; and delivering the directive to a respective set of site controllers to implement the received directive. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

27. A system that manages a remote cell site, the system comprising a processor that executes the following computer executable components retained in a memory:
-
an interface component that receives at least one of a status profile, wherein the status profile configures a port in a dedicated site controller and includes at least a set of conditions associated with operation of a device functionally connected to the dedicated site controller through the port, and a component that receives operational data of the device in accordance at least in part with polling conditions in the set of conditions in the received status profile; a component that remotely controls the device through delivery of one or more commands in a script; and a component that delivers operational data to at least one of an authorized terminal, a server, or a data storage.
