Using a Base Station and AdminBrowser to Monitor Fusion
NOTE: The BTS must be configured, by the carrier, for contact closure monitoring
prior to connecting a Fusion Main Hub to it.
In order to take full advantage of Fusion’s OA&M capabilities you can use TE
AdminBrowser software in addition to a BTS to monitor the system, as shown in
Figure 7-34. Refer to Section 7.8.7 for SNMP optional feature capabilities.
