PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER'S MANUAL

4.4.3.1 Alarm Acknowledgement using the RMC

Each alarm can be manually acknowledged using the Repeater Maintenance Console. However, if the

repeater is controlled by the Axell Element Manager, a manual acknowledgement of the alarm means that the

AEM will not be aware of the change in the repeater status.

4.4.3.2 Alarm Acknowledgement using the Axell Element Manager

If the repeater is integrated to and controlled by the Axell Element Manager (via an OMU or directly), an

alarm is considered acknowledged when the alarm has been delivered to the AEM. Once delivered to the

AEM, the acknowledgement of the event is taken care of locally at the AEM, why no dial-back needs to be

performed to acknowledge the alarms in the repeater.

4.4.3.3 Alarm Acknowledgement using SMS

Note! SMS functionality is not implemented in this SW release.

If the repeater is configured to send alarms using SMS, alarm acknowledgement can be made in two different

ways.

 the alarm is acknowledged as soon as the alarm SMS is successfully received by the Short Message

Service Centre

 the alarm is acknowledged by sending a special alarm acknowledgement SMS back to the repeater from

the alarm destination.
