LGC Wireless offers two OA&M packages AdminManager and OpsConsole.
• The AdminManager software is provided with Unison. It runs on a PC/laptop and
communicates with one Main Hub, and its downstream units, at a time.
• Connected directly to the Main Hub’s front panel RS-232 connector, you can
access the Installation Wizard which lets you configure a newly installed sys-
tem, or you can access the Configuration & Maintenance panel which lets you
query system status, configure a newly added or swapped unit, or change sys-
tem parameters.
• Connected remotely using a modem, AdminManager initiates communications
with the Main Hub. You can access a read-only Configuration & Maintenance
panel which lets you query system status to help you determine if an on-site
visit is required.
Refer to the AdminManager User Manual (PN 8810-10) for information about
installing and using the AdminManager software.
• Alternately, OpsConsole OA&M software is available separately. OpsConsole lets
you manage, monitor, and maintain multiple sites and systems from a centralized
remote location. This software is described in the OpsConsole User Guide
(PN 8800-10).
The following table lists the functional differences between AdminManager and
