SATELLINE-3AS NMS is a remotely manageable radio modem that provides reliable, real-time data communications. In addition to ordinary communication functions it exhibits configuration through radio, efficient diagnostics tools and accumulation of operation statistics data. A SATELLINE-3AS NMS network provides a working solution to a large variety of wireless data communications applications. Efficient monitoring of the signal condition and flexible use of alternative routing makes it particularly well suited for frequently changing networks and applications requiring the utmost reliability.

Network management and surveillance

The Network Management System provides remote configuration of the network and advance indication of faults, for maximum reliability, labor-saving maintenance work and efficient system management. The management and surveillance of the network is effected through the Master Station connected by a serial interface to a PC with dedicated Network Management software. The NMS radio modems monitor the condition of the radio connection: strength of the signal (RSSI), the voltage level of the power source and the inside temperature of the modem. The information is transmitted to the SATEL NMS PC, where it is stored and displayed as logs and trend data. With the help of the graphical display of the network, the user can configure, add or remove radio modems without a need of a terminal, draw message routes and set repeater links.

Benefits of using the NMS system:

• Enhanced reliability through advance indication of anticipated faults and failures
• Reduced configuration and maintenance costs through remote configuration
• Efficient network development tool
• Flexibility in adapting to customer protocols and applications
