Command Server
The MBS2 command server is a logical entity that contains information about routing, MBS2
status, and configuration parameters.
It has a dedicated port number that can be accessed by external entities to make configuration
changes to and queries about the status of the MBS2 and wireless network availability. The
command server is accessible by Customer Hosts, client applications, CSCs, and the WAW
Network Operational Support System (NOSS) by using UDP.
Some of the key features of the command server are as follows:
• Initiate the MBS2 commissioning process
• Send and receive MBS2 Management messages to and from the NOSS
• Provide control of and access to information about the various components within the
MBS2 (GPS, Terrestrial and Satellite modems, etc.)
• Monitor status of MBS2 and its components, and provide status information to the NOSS
or CSC upon request
