Chapter 1 - System Description
1.5 Management Systems
The end-to-end IP-based architecture of the system enables full management of
all components, from any point in the system. BreezeACCESS 4900 components
can be managed using standard management tools through SNMP agents that
implement standard and proprietary MIBs for remote setting of operational modes
and parameters. The same SNMP management tools can also be used to manage
other system components including switches, routers and transmission
equipment. Security features incorporated in BreezeACCESS 4900 units restrict
access for management purposes to specific IP addresses and/or directions, that
is, from the Ethernet and/or wireless link.
In addition, the Ethernet WAN can be used to connect to other Operation Support
Systems including servers, Customer Care systems and AAA (Authentication,
Authorization and Admission) tools.
1.5.1 BreezeCONFIG™
The BreezeCONFIG for BreezeACCESS 4900 utility is an SNMP-based application
designed to manage BreezeACCESS 4900 system components and upgrade unit
software versions. The system administrator can use the BreezeCONFIG utility to
control a large number of units from a single location. In addition, BreezeCONFIG
enables you to load an updated configuration file to multiple units
simultaneously, thus radically reducing the time spent on unit configuration
maintenance.
1.5.2 AlvariSTAR™
AlvariSTAR is a comprehensive Carrier-Class network management system for
Alvarion’s Broadband Wireless Access products-based Networks. AlvariSTAR is
designed for today’s most advanced Network Operation Centers (NOCs), providing
the network Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OA&M) staff and
managers with all the network surveillance, monitoring and configuration
capabilities that they require in order to effectively manage the BWA network
while keeping the resources and expenses at a minimum.
AlvariSTAR is designed to offer the network’s OA&M staff with a unified, scalable
and distributable network management system. The AlvariSTAR system uses a
distributed client-server architecture, which provides a robust, scalable and fully
redundant network management system in which all single points of failure can
be avoided.
