Chapter 3. System Overview
Configuration and Management
Eclipse is a software-driven product; there are no manual controls. Configuration and
management is achieved via Portal and ProVision.
• Portal is a PC based configuration and diagnostics tool for Eclipse.
• ProVision is the Eclipse network element manager. ProVision also supports other
Aviat products, including legacy products.
Portal is supported in the Eclipse system software, such that once installed on a PC, it
automatically downloads support from the radio as needed to ensure Portal always
matches the version of system software supplied, or subsequently downloaded in any
radio upgrade.
Portal has the look and feel of a Windows environment with screen-based views and
prompts for all configuration and diagnostic attributes.
A Portal PC connects to an INU/INUe/IDU using Ethernet or V.24 options.
For more information, refer to the Eclipse Configuration Guide.
ProVision is the network element manager for all Aviat radios (current and legacy).
ProVision also supports partner products, including multiplexors, switches, routers,
and power systems.
ProVision is installed on a Windows or Solaris server, typically at a network operating
center, and communicates with network elements using standard LAN/WAN IP
addressing and routing; each radio has its own unique IP address.
For more information, refer to the Aviat ProVision User Guide.
