An NMS is a system designed for monitoring, maintaining, and optimizing a network. It is important for any large network, such as those found in enterprise configurations of M2M Router.

1. Why we need to use NMS for 4G SIM Card Router?
If there are hundreds of or thousands of M2M Routers running at the same
time, and how we manage these routers at the same time? If we operate one
unit by one unit, then it will cost us so much time to finish the whole manage
job. Then we require a system which support manage these routers in bulk at
the same time, which is convenient and can save huge time for us.
We often call this system as “NMS”(Network Management System) or
RMS(Remote Management System). An NMS is a system designed for
monitoring, maintaining, and optimizing a network. It includes both hardware
and software, but most often an NMS refers to the software used to manage a
network. E-Lins Communication also launched its own NMS for management
all series of SIM card router, moreover which is free for all formal customers
who purchased E-Lins SIM Based Routers.
Network management systems provide multiple services. These include, but
are not limited to:
1. Network monitoring - NMS software monitors network hardware to ensure
all devices are operating correctly and are not near or at full capacity. Alerts
can be sent to network administrators if a problem is detected.
2. Device detection - When a new device is connected to the network, the
NMS detects it so that it can be recognized, configured, and added to the
network. This is also called device provisioning.

2. 3. Performance analysis - An NMS can gauge the current and historical
performance of a network. This includes the overall performance of the
network as well as individual devices and connections. For example, the
NMS may detect aspects of a network where throughput is nearing the
maximum bandwidth available. The data can be used to optimize the flow
of traffic and recommend the addition of new hardware if needed.
4. Fault management - If a device or section of a network fails, an NMS may
be able to automatically reroute traffic to limit downtime. This action may be
performed on the fly or may be accomplished using a set of preconfigured
rules. When a fault occurs, a network alert or notification is usually sent to
one or more network administrators.
Why we use an NMS?
In small networks, such as a residential or home network, an NMS is not
necessary. However, it is important for any large network, such as those
found in enterprise configurations of M2M Router. Server farms, data
centers, and corporate networks may have hundreds or thousands of
connected devices. It is important to have a central network monitoring
system in place to manage the devices. An NMS provides and efficient way
to locate, update, repair, and replace network equipment as needed.
