PRELIMINARY Monitoring and Maintaining Unison Remotely
2.3.3 Monitoring and Maintaining Unison Remotely
• Using AdminManager Remotely
You can use AdminManager to query Unison status via a read-only Configuration
& Maintenance panel. You cannot change system parameters or configure system
components remotely with AdminManager. (Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 2-4.)
• Using OpsConsole Remotely
When monitoring the system remotely, any change of state within the system
causes the Main Hub to initiate an automatic call-out and report the system status
to the OpsConsole. If the host does not acknowledge the connection, the Main Hub
issues an automatic call-out every 15 minutes until an auto acknowledge or stan-
dard request for status (initiated by the host) is received.
Refer to the OpsConsole User Guide, LGC Wireless part number 8701-10, for
more information about using the OpsConsole for system monitoring.
The following figure illustrates how the system reports its status to AdminManager
and the OpsConsole.
Figure 2-3 Remote System Monitoring and Reporting
Expansion
Hub
The Expansion Hub checks its own status
and polls each of its RAUs for their status.
Each RAU reports its status to
the Expansion Hub.
• If a fault is detected, the
ALARM LED is red. If no fault
is detected, the LED is green.
• If a fault or warning condition
is detected, the information is
passed to the Expansion
Hub.
The Expansion Hub
receives status from
each RAU and compares
it to previously stored status.
• If a fault is detected, LEDs on
the front panel light red.
• If a fault or warning condition
is detected in the Expansion
Hub or an RAU, the informa-
tion is passed to the Main
Hub.
The Main Hub receives
status of Expansion Hub
and each RAU and com-
pares it to previously
stored status.
• If a fault is detected,
LEDs on the front panel
light red.
• If a fault or warning con-
dition is detected in any
unit, the Main Hub ini-
tiates a call to the
OpsConsole.
Use the OpsConsole to
remotely monitor and
maintain multiple systems.
OpsConsole sends an
email and/or page notifica-
tion when a change in sys-
tem status is detected.
Use AdminManager to
query status of a single
system (Main Hub and all
of its downstream units)
and determine if a site visit
is required.
