1.2.2 The RMC, Repeater Maintenance Console
RMC is an online software program with an intuitive graphical interface that simplifies control and installation
of the repeater or OMU. The RMC is a graphical shell for the repeater’s Control Module. It reads commands
and attributes from the Control Module and displays them in an intuitive layout. This eliminates the need to
learn commands and attributes for controlling the repeater or OMU.
Login can be made locally via the LMT port or remotely via a modem or via Ethernet. As soon as the RMC is
connected it constantly polls the repeater or OMU for parameters such as power supply levels, in and out levels,
temperature, traffic, etc. If the repeater is a slave type repeater, the OMU manages the data collection from the
repeater.
The RMC program can be installed from a CD. It is a Windows based application that runs on Windows 2000
and Windows XP.
1.2.3 The AEM, Axell Element Manager
AEM is a complete operations and maintenance centre for Axell Wireless repeater networks.
The AEM takes control of the repeater – or the OMU-Repeater system - once the installation at site is
completed. The repeater gets integrated into the network and will be controlled by the Element Manager.
During integration all repeater parameters and statuses are downloaded into a database. The database is
regularly updated with all incoming alarms and reports, and will hence contain a copy of the repeater
configuration so that current repeater information will be accessible without setting up communication with the
repeaters.
Communication between the AEM and the repeaters are message based. This means that the operator does not
have to await message delivery, but will be informed when the message is delivered to the repeater
The Axell Element Manager is a Windows™ based application that runs on Windows 2000, Windows 2003
Server and Windows XP.
