The BS performs the conversion of RF signals to digital signals for packets transmitted uplink (SS to BS),
and converts digital signals to RF signals for packets transmitted downlink (BS to SS). The BS interfaces with
the BWG and either directs traffic to/from the BWG (residential service) or tags the traffic to route to/from a
private network (Business/Enterprise service).
The BS uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna connected to the built-in GPS circuit.
Warranty and ongoing TAC support on the BS only covers BSs deployed with the supported
configuration.
The EMS is a set of software applications that the service provider uses to configure, communicate with,
and manage all the system elements directly related to the Broadband Wireless Access system. EMS
provides a single point for managing BWG-to-BS, BWG-to-EMS, BS, and SS communications in a
WiMAX network.
The EMS is an IP-based element manager designed in a server-client relationship and runs on either Windows
or Solaris Operating Systems. Most service providers use the Client EMS Configuration & Alarm Manager
(CAM) application to interface with the system. All of the functions that can be performed through the CAM
can also be performed through a Command Line Interface (CLI), which is a common computing language
across platforms. In addition, the CLI can run scripts consisting of a text file with CLI commands. This
functionality is not available in the CAM.
