System OA&M Capabilities Overview
Figure 2-2 Three Methods for OA&M Communications
AdminBrowser OA&M software runs on the Fusion Main Hub microprocessor and
communicates to its downstream Expansion Hubs and associated RAUs. Using
AdminBrowser, you can perform the following from any standard web browser
(Internet Explorer) running on your PC/laptop system:
• Configure a newly installed system
• Change system parameters
• Perform an end-to-end system test
• Query system status
Refer to the AdminBrowser User Manual (D-620607-0-20 Rev A) for information
about installing and using AdminBrowser software.
2.3.1 System Monitoring and Reporting
Each Fusion Main Hub in the system constantly monitors itself, its Expansion Hubs,
and their downstream RAUs for internal fault and warning conditions. The results of
this monitoring are stored in memory and compared against new results.
When a Main or Expansion Hub detects a change in status, it reports a fault or warn-
ing alarm. Faults are also indicated locally by red status LEDs. Both faults and warn-
ings are reported to AdminBrowser software and displayed on a PC/laptop connected
to the Main Hub’s RJ-45 port. Passive antennas connected to the RAUs are not moni-
tored automatically. Perform a System Test to retrieve status information about anten-
nas.
Using AdminBrowser, you can install a new system or new components, change sys-
tem parameters, and query system status. Figure 2-3 illustrates how the system
reports its status to AdminBrowser.
