The present document will describe the generic monitoring and control interface for infrastructure equipment. The present document should follow a two-stage approach: protocol-independent information modelling; protocol-specific data modelling e.g. in YAML/JSON. The present document applies to monitoring and control of Infrastructure Environment i.e. power, cooling and building environment systems for telecommunication centres and access network locations; also the monitoring energy and environmental parameters for Information Communication Technology (ICT) equipment in telecommunications sites or data center or customer premises are considered. Interoperability of heterogeneous management interfaces and systems with multi-vendor equipment is the key issue. The present document gives a general approach from equipment to management system. The multi-part deliverable is composed of a generic core part (the present document) and several specific parts for equipment category. The present document defines: The site equipment maps and its division in functional subsets e.g. DC system which introduces this multi-part deliverable. The generic set of exchanged information required at the interface of equipment, which is instanced for each equipment subset in this multi-part deliverable. The minimum requirement for network architecture allowing some compatibility with old existing interface and the mechanism to exchange data between network elements. The data interface protocol for remote or local site management (Machine to Machine Interface MMI) and Human Machine Interface HMI for monitoring and controlling. Recommendations for a management network such as dependability, data back-up, data coherence and synchronization all along the management network, response time, fault detection and partial service in case of failure. The Measurement accuracy of Power, Energy and Environmental parameters (PEE). An architecture for monitoring Power, Energy and Environmental parameters (PEE) for data originated by different types of site infrastructure equipment is defined.

Work item jointly developed with ETSI TC EE to become a technically aligned deliverable.
