1.3.4 Eagle Management Suite
The EMS is a personal computer based platform that is used to provide all the Operations,
Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P) control for the system.
The EMS is hosted on
a Windows NT
®
compatible PC platform and uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to facilitate operator
inputs and report system information. Functions managed
by the EMS include initiation, control, and data
logging of all system wide tests,
alarm reporting, operator entry of system parameters, and entry and
maintenance of subscriber
information such as priority, ID, and phone number. The EMS also acts as the
administration terminal for system configuration and reporting.
1.3.5 Customer Premises Equipment
The Customer Premises Equipment consists of three separate hardware units — the Subscriber Unit (SU),
the Network Termination Unit (NTU) and the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
All of the CPE units
are located at or near the end user’s location. A typical installation would find the SU located on an
exterior wall or rooftop to enable wireless communication with the RBU antenna,
the NTU mounted at a
ground accessible exterior point on the customer building, and the UPS located within the building.
