The Edge Nodes Inventory Page
The Edge Nodes Inventory page displays a table with headings that you can choose to display information about the Cloud Connectors you use with Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP).The page includes a search field and a row of default filter chips at the top for finding Cloud Connectors on the list.. Some filter chips are visible, and additional filters can be accessed through the "more options" menu (ellipsis) next to the visible filter chips. Actions such as Edit, Reboot appear as buttons above the table, with more actions available under the "more options" menu (ellipsis). You can reach other information and operations from the page by clicking the name of a Cloud Connector or the tabs at the bottom of the page.
The following screen capture shows the Edge Nodes page with the default filter chips, default column headings, sample data, and the Actions drop-down list.

Actions on the Edge Nodes Inventory Page
Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP) provides a number of actions that you can use to help manage your Cloud Connectors. Your role and the state of the selected Cloud Connector affects which actions are available for use at any time. Actions such as Edit, Reboot appear as buttons above the table, with more actions available under the "more options" menu (ellipsis).
Note:
The actions on the Edge Nodes Inventory page are single-select only, except for Update APN (MNO), Change Data Plan, and Download Inventory Report. The Download Inventory Report action ignores check box selections and includes information for Cloud Connectors that match your selected filters.| Edit | Use to change the information in any of the Description and Edge Location fields for the selected Cloud Connectors. Use to toggle "Edge will be moving" on and off, as well. |
| Reboot | Use to restart the selected Cloud Connectors. |
| Manage Application | Use to update applications on the selected Cloud Connectors and to see details about installed applications. |
| Manage Platform | Use to update the platform software, operating system, platform manager, and hardware-profile drivers and to see details about platform software currently installed on the selected Cloud Connectors. |
| Get Platform Logs | Use the specify the start time and end time for platform logs you want to download for the selected Cloud Connectors. |
| Change APN (MNO) | Use to open the Update APN drawer for changing the APN for the selected Cloud Connectors. See the following section for details on this action. |
| Change Service Plan | Use to open the Change Satellite Service Plan drawer, where you can select a service plan from the drop-down list. You can also toggle Additional Priority on and off in the drawer and view settings for the selected {Varref: edgenodeName}Cloud Connector. |
| Decommission | Use to remove the selected Cloud Connector from service. Also disconnects any associated satellite terminal and SIM. |
| Download Inventory Report. (Icon in the upper right corner of the page.) | Use to download a .csv file with detailed information about your Cloud Connectors. The Oracle ECP ignores any selections you make among the Cloud Connectors listed, but applies any filters you set in Search to determine the Cloud Connectors to report. The download includes data from all columns (default and additional).
Note: Some spreadsheet applications automatically change long numbers in the cells of a Comma-Separated Value file (.CSV) to exponential notation format. For long fields such as the ICCID identifier, be sure to change the cell format (for example, from General to Number) to see the value as originally specified. You will have to repeat the format change to see the original value for long fields in future sessions when the file is saved in .CSV format. |
About Edge Node Filter Chips
To refine the data displayed on the Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP) Edge Nodes Inventory page, you can narrow a search by using the default filter chips, typing the name of a column header, or typing other text in the Search field.
Default Edge Node Filter Chips
The default filter chips, located below the Search field, are based on a subset of the column headings available for the page. The Search field is empty by default. You add filter chips to the Search field by clicking them. You can add multiple filter chips to the Search field and you can combine them with those you create from the column headings.
When you click the filter chip, Oracle ECP, moves it into the Search field. You can add multiple filter chips to the Search field and you can combine them with custom filter chips.
When a filter chip is in the Search field, click it to see the list of additional filter values available for that filter type. For example, the Life Cycle filter chip offers Active, Inactive, and Onboarded as additional filters.
- Filter Chip—Displays the name of the filter chip type.
- Default Filter—Displays the name of the default filter among those available for the filter chip type.
- All Filters—Lists all the parameters available for the filter chip type.

Custom Filtering
When you want to search the Edge Nodes Inventory Page Column Headers that are not represented by a default filter chip, you can type arbitrary text of your choice into the Search field. For example, suppose you want to see results for Serial Number. Type some or all of the word and press Enter. Oracle ECP searches the Serial Number column and displays results for Serial Number. You can combine custom filters with the default filter chips to get specific results. Oracle ECP limits the number of custom filters to three.
