WEB Based Monitoring and Management Background and Considerations PWG - Maui /W. Wagner, NetSilicon 4/5/2019

Background CAP Ventures White Paper - Software Innovations: From Remote Diagnostics to Device Relationship Management - 12 December 2002 PWG - Maui /W. Wagner, NetSilicon 4/5/2019

Primary Third-Party Players Imaging Portals (www.imagingportals.com ) Existing Sites with pager-based collection and SNMP oriented networked collection Call it d2B (Device to Business) (NetSilicon uses D2B in a more general way) Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (EFI) (www.efi.com) Applies Axeda technology to imaging Axeda has significant experience in medical and industrial Web Based Monitoring and Control applications Calls it DRM (Device Relationship Management) DRM also stands for Digital Rights Management, which may be related PWG - Maui /W.

CAPV Reference to Standards Management Information Base (MIB) Simple Network Management Protocol eXtensible Markup Language (XML) Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) PWG - Maui /W. Wagner, NetSilicon 4/5/2019

What to do next? Is there interest in Standardization? Limiting Scope? Monitoring only? Default only? (no instructions) Just standardize interface with server? Consider Transport (HTTP or custom) Object identification method Report contents, coding and formats Instruction coding, format, PWG - Maui /W. Wagner, NetSilicon 4/5/2019

Transport (authenticate/encrypt/communicate) Device Device Device Acquisition/distribution Message Formatting/Reading Transport (authenticate/encrypt/communicate) Message Formatting/Reading Interface to data base/management system PWG - Maui /W. Wagner, NetSilicon 4/5/2019

Suggested Areas to Address Overall path for monitor, manage,update Identify Transport compatible with requirements Create messages for different operations Define basic message format (e.g., Source and destination identification operation Message Time, Action Time and/or periods Affected Parameters in attribute/value format Communication of embedded files PWG - Maui /W. Wagner, NetSilicon 4/5/2019

Areas Not to Address Acquisition/Distribution Except for noting that it may be via SNMP, Web page, internal, etc Specifics of how Firewalls, Proxies, site specific requirements are handled Except to suggest use of WEB services type approach Specific content of messages Except for “header” Specific parameters or naming of parameters Except to give examples, such as OID approach PWG - Maui /W.
