• SNMP Support: Using WaveRider-supplied SNMP MIBs, network operators can
integrate the LMS4000 with their existing network management system to allow
monitoring of CCUs and EUMs from an existing and/or centralized SNMP manager.
Once SNMP is configured, the operator can monitor system events, parameters, and
statistics in real time. Statistics can be processed in the SNMP manager to provide
alarms, trend data, graphical outputs, and derived performance data.
• Channel Redundancy (optional): Optional CCU redundancy, which can be ordered
from WaveRider, improves LMS4000 system reliability, and reduces or eliminates
down time if a CCU fails. This redundancy eliminates interruption of service to the end
users and reduces the urgency for getting to the CCU site to replace the failed CCU.
• Accurate Time Stamping (SNTP): The CCUs and EUMs can be programmed to
synchronize their internal clocks with one or more NTP servers. Time stamping
enables all logged events in the CCUs and EUMs to be correlated with events that
have taken place at other locations in the network or with events logged by equipment
installed outside the network, if this equipment is equipped with accurate time-
stamping. Accurate time-stamping facilitates diagnosis of complex network problems.
• Field-replaceable Equipment: In the event of an equipment failure, LMS4000
components are easily replaced with minimal or no disruption to the operation of other
components.
• System Upgradability: The LMS4000 network architecture supports orderly growth
from simple installations, through single-CCU CAP (Communication Access Point)
sites and multi-CCU CAP sites, to multi-CAP networks.
• Port Filtering: The LMS4000 network operator can configure CCUs and EUMs to
filter IP packets on specific TCP and UDP ports to improve network performance,
security, and privacy.
• Low Maintenance: CCUs and EUMs require no routine maintenance, other than
maintenance of their operating environments within the specified temperature and
humidity range.
• Extensive Installation, Maintenance and Diagnostic Support: The CCU and EUM
are equipped with a wide range of features and utilities to facilitate unit installation,
operation, maintenance, monitoring, and diagnostics:
