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 VL 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 VL units restrict access for management purposes to
specific IP addresses and/or directions, which means 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.
BreezeCONFIG
The BreezeCONFIG for BreezeACCESS VL utility is an SNMP-based
application designed to manage BreezeACCESS VL 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.
