Alarm and Management System
The FlexWave Prism utilizes an embedded network management for system configuration and network
monitoring. The Element Management System (EMS) utilizes a web based interface or SNMP protocol
for easy accesses to the system.
The EMS provides operational and maintenance capabilities for the Prism system (Host and Remote). The
EMS can be used to set up and monitor status of any Host and any associated Remote Units. The EMS
has the ability to configure the system, view status and parameter settings, download software, change
parameters and monitor system performance and alarms
Access and troubleshooting can also be accomplished on-site at either the Host Unit and/or the Remote
Unit by utilizing a craft interface. Thus, allowing technicians the ability to plug-in a laptop and access all
associated units connected to it.
Host Site Capabilities
The EMS performs the following functions at the
Host site:
Provides real-time information regarding faults•
Set up simulcast ratios•
Digital timing delays•
Displays various system level values (voltages, •
RF, power, etc.)
Records and generates history reports with •
time and date stamps
Adjusts performance related parameters of the •
Host Unit and Remote Unit
Permits placement of Host Unit and Remote •
Unit into standby mode
Allows download of new software versions to •

Network Monitoring Capabilities
The embedded EMS allows for remote alarm
monitoring and network control of the
Prism can also be performed from an off-site
location or Network Operation Center (NOC).
Communications to the NOC can be performed
using the web based interface or SNMP protocol.
The EMS performs the following functions at off-
site locations such as the NOC:
Provides real-time information regarding faults•
Displays various system level values (voltages, RF, power, etc.)•
Adjusts performance-related parameters of the Host Unit and Remote Unit•
Permits placement of Host Unit and Remote Unit into standby mode•
Access records and generates history reports with time and date stamps•
Allows download of new software versions to the Host Unit and Remote Units•
