The end-to-end IP-based architecture of the system enables full management of
all components, using standard management tools. An SNMP agent in the NPU
implements standard and proprietary MIBs for remote setting of operational
modes and parameters of the Base Station equipment as well as the Subscriber
Units served by it. Security features incorporated in BreezeMAX units restrict the
access for management purposes.
In addition, the Ethernet WAN can be used to connect to other Operation Support
Systems including servers, Customer Care systems and AAA (Authentication,
Authorization and Admission) tools.
