WILINK I System Management

All WILINK I system components associated with a Base Station are managed via
the Base Station's NPU module. The other system components (AUs and SUs) are
not accessed directly: each configuration change or status enquiry is sent to the
NPU that communicates with other system components.
NOTE
The SU can also be managed directly from its Ethernet port using the Installer Monitor program.
This option is available to support the installation process and enable special tests and
performance monitoring at the SU's site.
The following management options are available:
SNMP based management using bwaNMS (or another network management
system customized to support management of WILINK I)
Using Telnet to access the embedded Monitor application.
Accessing the embedded Monitor application locally via the MON port.
Two management access methods are available to support management using
SNMP and/or Telnet:
Out-Of-Band (OOB) management via the dedicated MGMT port.
In-Band (IB) management via the DATA port.
Typically, WILINK I systems will be managed using bwaNMS or another SNMP
based network management system.
This chapter describes how to manage the system using the Monitor application.
For information on managing the system using bwaNMS refer to the Applicable
bwaNMS documentation.
NOTE
To enable remote management (using SNMP and/or Telnet), the parameters of the applicable port
(MGMT and/or DATA) must first be configured via the MON port. For details on the applicable
parameters refer to Section 4.5.3.
