4.3 Integration into the AEM
NOTE: Integration into the AEM is only performed from the AEM side – no action is required from the
MBF-40 side.
The AEM automatically connects to 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 IP address where alarms and reports should be sent to, and optionally with a secondary IP
address where the repeater can connect to in case connection to primary IP 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 does 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 AEM in order to ensure that the database always contains correct information.
4.4 What Next?
The MBF-40 unit is now ready for operation. You may monitor the unit's general status via the OMU
II Main window and if the node is faulty (red LED), access the dedicated configuration screen in
Basic or Advanced view for more information.
NOTE: Consult the OMU II User Manual for additional information on RF and Optical adjustments.
