Chapter 1 - System Description
Management Systems
The end-to-end IP-based architecture of the system enables full
management of all components, using standard management tools. An
SNMP agent in the NPU/Micro Base Station implements standard and
proprietary MIBs for remote setting of operational modes and
parameters of the NPU/Micro Base Station as well as all other system
components that are managed by the NPU/Micro Base Station. The
same SNMP management tools can also be used to manage other
system components including switches, routers and transmission
equipment. Security features incorporated in BreezeMAX units restrict
the access for management purposes.
In addition, the Ethernet WAN can be used to connect to other
Operation Support Systems including servers, Customer Care systems
and AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Admission) tools.
