MODEM communication is relevant only for Repeaters installed in stand-alone mode. If the
repeater is fibre fed and is set up as a slave- this section is not relevant since the remote
communication is handled by the node master – in most cases an OMU.
For instructions on modem setup and communication, refer to Chapter Modem Communication.

The Control Module can be configured with two different addresses (telephone numbers) to which
alarms and reports are delivered. In case the repeater cannot deliver alarms and reports to the primary
address, the next call will be made to the secondary address.
A fallback functionality is available, which means that the Control Module falls back to the primary
address after a configurable number of minutes. If this interval is set to 0, the fallback will not be
performed. A user can always force the Control Module to fall back to the primary address.
Note! When the repeater is integrated to the Axell Element Manager system, these addresses are set
by the AEM, why they need not be configured during site installation.

When the repeater has been installed at site and the remote communication has been enabled, the
repeater can be integrated to the Axell Element Manager. This is done by the operator of the AEM.
After entering the telephone number to the repeater, the AEM dials up the repeater, downloads all the
repeater parameters and statuses into a database. When all parameters have been downloaded, the
AEM configures the repeater with the telephone number where alarms and reports should be sent,
and optionally with a secondary telephone number where the repeater can dial in case connection to
primary number fails.
When heartbeat reports and alarms are sent from the repeater to the AEM also the latest information
about the status and RF-configuration is included. This means that the AEM operator always has
information about the current status in the AEM database (and do not need to call the repeater to find
this out).
Note! Once the repeater is integrated to the AEM, all changes to the repeater should preferably be
done from the Axell Element Manager in order to ensure that the database always contains correct
information.
