6.8 Remote CPE Management

The remote CPE function is required for handling external customer premises equipment that do not support an NMS capability but areequipped with an RS-232 interface for management.

The remote CPE function enables the LCI user at the BS-BU to gainaccess and control over an external device connected to one of itsTS-BU(s) as if the user is operating directly through its terminal.

WALKair acts as a transparent pipe and delivers commands and responseinformation from the user at the BS-BU to the external equipment andbackwards with no interference in the data itself. In addition, all alarms of

the external device are reported to the BS-BU and handed to the NMS(when installed) via a trap report. This function is active whether or not theremote CPE is initiated.


38/74


Page 6-10 P/N 110504-02 D Rev 1.0

6.8.1 Configuration

The customer equipment is connected to the TS using the serial LCI portof the TS and an RS-232 protocol. When connecting an external devicethe user must configure the serial I/O port of the TS using the LCIMaintenance Menu. When a CPE is connected to the TS the TS LCImenus are accessible using the remote LCI.

To Set the Serial I/O to the CPE:1. From the Main Menu, select option number 1 then press .



3. From the Administrative Parameters Menu, select option number 8 thenpress .The I/O Serial Port to CPE input parameter is displayed.

4. Enter Y to confirm serial connection then press .5. Enter the I/O serial port to be used for remote connection then press

P/N 110504-02 D Rev 1.0 Page 6-11

6.8.2 Activation

The activation of control over a TS CPE is performed from all the BS LCImenus using the following command:

#CPETS.

If the process to gain control fails, then the following message is displayed:CPE Remote Control failed:.

When configured to the CPE all WALKair displays are suppressed.

6.8.3 Remote Session

When the BS remotely controls a TS CPE the BS LCI displays allmessages sent by TS CPE operation. Each line sent from the remotelycontrolled TS CPE is displayed at the BS LCI.

6.8.3.1 Regain Control

Regaining control over the TS serial I/O port is achieved by typing from theBS-BU LCI the following string:#LCI# .

6.8.4 CPE Alarms

Regardless of the remote CPE operation, all CPE alarms that begin with apre-defined prefix are locally terminated by the TS-BU and are reported tothe BS-BU and then to the NMS via a trap report.

The CPE alarms are also displayed on the LCI with the following prefix:CPE TS#.

NOTE:

The identifying prefix may be changed using the LCI Maintenance Menuoption.

To Set the CPE Alarm Prefix:1. From the Main Menu, select option number 1 then press .
