Using LEC Asset ID Manager

This section focuses on starting the LEC AIM application’s user interface, using the menu options, and running AIM commands. The AIM User Interface is a console application that accepts user input from the command prompt.

On this page:

Starting the AIM Application

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the location of the runaim.sh or runaim.bat file.
  3. Run one of the following commands:

    Linux: ./runAim.sh
    Windows: runaim.bat

Using the AIM User Interface

Once you launch the menu.py user interface, the program will display information about:

  • The configuration file being used.
  • The configured NMS instances (or CGI OMS instances).
  • The configured Live Energy Connect machines.

Note: Any errors in connecting to these systems will be displayed as error messages written to the console.

The console will then display the available command options that you can use to run specific AIM commands. And finally, it will prompt you to enter a command. The following image is an example of how the LEC AIM user interface looks from a terminal in Linux.

Note: Different customers may have different command options available in the LEC AIM user interface depending on what is specified in their menu.conf file.
