Four ways to simplify the deployment and management of IoT devices

With the growth of our life and the emergence of new IoT devices in all walks of life, the Internet of Things is daunting at first glance. IoT devices require an IP connection and in many cases require network power. To reduce operating costs and increase the efficiency of building automation systems such as HVAC and lighting, companies are moving toward more connected devices. This puts increasing demands on the already tight number of enterprise access networks and supporting resources. The figure below shows the breadth of types of devices that are becoming connected.

Before implementing any IoT device on the network, the following four steps should be taken during the project planning process:

1. Identify IT resources

The first thing to consider is the resources that can be used for deployment and ongoing support. When considering these resources, consider uninstalling deployment and troubleshooting tasks from a more advanced technician or network engineer. By using the right toolset, many organizations are gaining success, enabling low-level technicians to identify more problems on their own or to enable them to improve their skills more effectively. This reduces the amount of network engineering effort, improves collaboration, and makes the team more efficient with the same staffing resources.

2. Determine network connection requirements

Each deployment and network environment has its own set of unique connectivity requirements. Companies should first develop a plan to determine how to verify, verify, and how to record. Businesses want to run the required set of tests in an automated, consistent manner, enabling a broader team to help spread the workload across more people regardless of their skill level. The following are examples of benchmark verification parameters that should be tested and documented:

PoE voltage level required to connect the jack

Speed/duplex

Switch details such as port/VLAN

Internet connection address/port

3. Limited network services

When an organization deploys an IoT device or troubleshoots an IoT device, it is essential to ensure that the network services required to support the connected device are configured and functioning. By performing the same test each time in an automated manner, the organization not only ensures a consistent and repeatable test process, but if there is a problem, the automated test provides an indication of the problem domain. When a network upgrade is required, problem classification can start quickly, perform visible operations on the problem domain, and know which tests the technician has run, so don't waste time performing the same tests. More advanced troubleshooting can be directly from the core of the problem. Start.

4. Understand IoT device configuration

During deployment and ongoing support, organizations should understand how to configure and manage devices even if a third party will perform an initial installation. Most device vendors today have some types of applications (cloud or smartphone based) to facilitate device configuration. Organizations should be familiar with the availability of deployed devices and how to access them during the deployment process as well as ongoing support and troubleshooting. This will help the organization identify resource responsibilities for each project phase and what tools and connectivity methods are needed.

In today's network environment, the proliferation of IoT connected devices poses a challenge to organizations, and the same employees need to do more work. This has also led to an increase in the complexity of project management across organizational silos and external suppliers. So as organizations begin to manage and support the deployment of more and more connected devices, consider how to extend your project management capabilities by enabling more resources, building collaboration between teams, and ensuring that organizations have what they need. Visibility.
