4.1 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.
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.
NOTE
The SU can also be managed directly from its Ethernet port using the Installer Monitor program or
the built-in Web Server. These options are available to support the installation process and enable
special tests and performance monitoring at the SU's site.
NOTE
It is not possible to manage the Base Station vis the wireless link (from the SU’s side).
NOTE
To enable remote management of devices behind the SU, including Voice and Networking
Gateways, IP connecctivity with the managed device is needed. This is possible only via the Data
port.
