Monitoring (AIM)

TKM’s AIM ready concept combines classic connectivity with future-oriented monitoring technology—in a unique tool-free upgrade concept.

AIM ready stands for patch panel technology that is installed today and can be upgraded with scanner technology for port and patch states at any time later. This can even be done during operation by attaching two electronic components using Plug & Play technology.

TKM’s AIM ready products already meet future standards, plans for which indicate further standardization in the IT environment. AIM ready is therefore a basis for:

  • Project / process security (e.g. according to ITIL or ISO 20000 standard)

  • Data security (e.g. according to ISO 27001).

AIM ready patch panels

The patch panels of the AIM ready product family supplied by TKM can be extended by the AIM functionality at any time. The product family includes

  • RJ45 Cat.6 and Cat.6A patch panels for 10 GB Ethernet, as well as

  • fiber optic patch panels with LCdx and SCdx connection technology for common applications in SM and MM networks.

All AIM ready products are characterized as follows:

  • Tool-free upgrading with RFID port scanner (Plug & Play)

  • Possibility of upgrading during operation.

The AIM ready product family is an integrative element for the compliance with normative requirements from e.g. future standards such as ISO/IEC 20000 or ISO/IEC 27001.

AIM ready port scanner

The port scanner developed for upgrading consists of two individual components, the

  • Antenna unit (RFID Antenna Unit) and

  • Electronic Unit (RFID Electronic Unit).

It is supplied with the necessary assembly and connection elements.

It is supplied with the necessary assembly and connection elements. Both components must be snapped together when installing the upgrade. No tools are required and the entire process can be carried out during operation.

Port scanners are characterized as follows:

  • Real-time monitoring of the status of each port

  • Reading cable data from the RFID transponder memory (e.g. length and type of cable, etc.)

  • Transmission of environmental data such as temperature and humidity.
