The PLANET NMS-360 is a Renewable Energy Management Controller designed for centralized management of a large number of BSP-360(V2) devices. It acts as a Universal Network Management Controller, offering comprehensive monitoring and control capabilities for renewable energy deployments.
Function Description:
The NMS-360 Controller provides a centralized platform for managing and monitoring various devices within a renewable energy network. Its core function is to offer an at-a-glance view of system, power, traffic, system statistics, and device event statuses through a user-friendly dashboard. It supports the monitoring of BSP-360s compliant with MQTT Protocol, SNMP Protocol, ONVIF Protocol, and PLANET Smart Discovery utility. The controller facilitates device provisioning, allowing BSP-360 devices to be configured and upgraded simultaneously. It also enables the creation of a real-time site map, where BSP-360 devices and IP cameras can be placed on a user-defined map to optimize energy deployment. Remote PoE control is a key feature, allowing users to remotely turn PoE on/off to reboot connected devices. User control features include on-demand account creation and user-defined access policies, enhancing security and administrative flexibility.

Usage Features:
The NMS-360 offers several features to simplify its usage and management:
- Setup Wizard: An easy-to-use step-by-step guidance system helps users through initial configuration, including account modification and IP configuration.
- Dashboard: Provides a quick overview of the system's health, power consumption, network traffic, and device event statuses.
- Device List: Offers a detailed overview of all managed devices, including their status, MAC address, version, IP address, and authorization status.
- Node Discovery: Automatically detects BSP-360-powered devices, enabling seamless integration into the management system.
- App-like Device Viewing: Allows monitoring of devices compliant with SNMP, MQTT, and Smart Discovery protocols, providing a unified view of the network.
- Event Table and Alarm System: Reports system status via event alarms and sends e-mail alerts to administrators via an SMTP server, ensuring timely notification of critical events.
- Site Map: Enables users to create a visual representation of their network, placing BSP-360s and IP cameras on a user-defined map for optimized energy deployment and monitoring.
- Remote PoE Control: Provides the ability to remotely power cycle connected devices by turning PoE on or off, which is useful for troubleshooting or resetting equipment.
- User Control: Supports on-demand account creation and user-defined access policies, allowing for granular control over who can access and manage the system.
- Secure Web Management: Access to the web management interface requires a secure login with SSL (HTTPS) prefix, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. The default IP address is 192.168.1.100, with management port 8888, and default credentials are 'admin' for both username and password.
Maintenance Features:
The NMS-360 includes features designed to facilitate system maintenance and reliability:
