AlvariCRAFT element management system allowing a single element
management for BTS installation/maintenance.
1.3.3 Network Architectures
BreezeMAX Extreme supports different network architectures:
“Embedded Distributed ASN-GW Local Authentication”
“Embedded Distributed ASN-GW Centralized Authentication”
“External ASN-GW”
The units are supplied with an embedded ASN-GW, supporting the first two
working modes. The External ASN-GW working mode is supported by the
“unlimited” model. In the Limited model it is available only if the applicable license
is installed.
Following is a description of each of these working modes:
1.3.3.1 Embedded Distributed ASN-GW Local Authentication
The ASN-GW functionality resides in the BTS (distributed architecture). Service
components (Service Profiles and Service Flows) are configured in the internal
ASN-GW of each BTS. MSs list and services provisioning including authentication
are managed locally by the internal ASN-GW (AAA server not needed), based on
the SU MAC address.
