1 OVERVIEW
Axell Wireless network elements* equipped with a controller contains a Local
Maintenance Terminal (LMT) port, and optionally a modem. This allows for
configuration of the element locally and optionally remotely.
Using a terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal (Windows) or MiniCom
(Linux/Unix) it is possible to configure the equipment using a simple command
structure (terminal emulation should be set to VT100 or ANSI).
Axell Repeater Command and Attributes documentation consists of two parts;
the Common part defines all functionality available for all Axell repeaters with
the new generation of controllers (H40 and H50 series).
the Target part defines all commands and attributes available for the specific
repeater type in a separate document.
This document specifies the functionality for all commands and attributes available
in the H40 and H50 controllers common parts, i.e. the functionality that is common
to all repeaters and nodes, regardless of the target implementation.
* Network elements are for instance repeaters, Optical Master Units etc.
2 AXELL WIRELESS VERSUS AVITEC
Summer of 2007 Avitec AB (Sweden) and Aerial Facilities Ltd (UK) joined forces to
form Europe's largest manufacturer of coverage solution equipment.
During winter 2008 the companies were brought together under one common
name, Axell Wireless.
However, since the base of this firmware was designed before companies were
merged, certain places in the firmware still mentions Avitec, such as the login
screen and the prompt. Yet, the product is sold, marketed and supported via Axell
Wireless and it's sales and support organisation.
3 VERSION COMPATIBILITY
Commands and attributes described in this document refers to Common firmware
1.2.1.
Firmware version of the controller can be obtained (once logged in) by using the
attribute SWV.
4 USING COMMANDS AND ATTRIBUTES
When logged in to the repeater, a number of different commands and attributes are
available. Commands have interaction with the user, or displays the reply on
multiple rows, while attributes are worked on using GET, SET or ACT syntax which
gives a reply normally on a maximum of one row.
Read-only attributes are read using GET.
