Preface
AB-Access™ System technology enables high-speed, broadband Internet access for fast data
transmission, full streaming video, real-time video conferencing, and web surfing. Adaptive
Broadband’s wireless point-to-multipoint and point-to-point solutions (AB-Access Extender) for
fixed networks enables our customers to easily leap-over existing infrastructure, making the
initial investment significantly lower than that required for wired alternatives.
Adaptive Broadband’s, patent pending, Packet-on-Demand technology delivers up to 10 times
the effective Internet data throughput of existing network configurations. Our technology
provides a last-mile solution, when deployed between networks and business/residential Internet
users. AB-Access System’s low-cost, wireless infrastructure means that a complete network can
be installed in days or weeks, instead of the typical months or years. Since AB-Access
architecture is highly scalable, our customers’ wireless network can grow as quickly as their
business grows or as bandwidth needs evolve.
This manual explains how to install the U-NII AB-NetAccess software and perform network
management tasks using GUI-based applications (the AB-NetAccess client software). This
software can run on any IP client on your network and is controlled by the main Element
Management System (EMS) application, the AB-NetAccess server software, which resides on a
single server on your IP network.
The main tasks covered in this manual are configuring and managing network elements, such as
Base Stations, Subscriber Units, Access Points, AB-Access Extender Units, Anchor Switches,
and Control Servers. Definitions of all the terms and abbreviations used in this manual can be
found in the Glossary at the end of this manual.
