Networking Equipment

The base station equipment is connected to the backbone through
standard data communication and telecommunication equipment. For
improved security, the 10BaseT ports of the AU modules are connected
directly to a multi-port router. This router is connected by any means of
point-to-point link to the backbone. In cases where security is less
important and cost is the main concern, the Access Units can be
connected to an Ethernet switch and then to a single port router.
The point-to-point link from the base station to the backbone may be
wired or wireless links. The data to the Internet is routed to the Internet
backbone through standard routers. The voice traffic is routed via
standard Gateways/Gatekeepers to the PSTN.

Management Systems

The end-to-end IP based architecture of the system allows full
management of all components from any point in the system.
BreezeACCESS components can be managed using standard
management tools through SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) agents that implement standard and proprietary MIBs for
remote setting of operational modes and parameters. The same SNMP
management tools can also be used for management of other system
components including Switches, Routers, Gateways/Gatekeepers and
transmission equipment.
The Ethernet WAN can also be used to connect to other Operation
Support Systems including servers, Customer Care systems and AAA
(Authentication, Authorization and Admission) tools.
