MINI-LINK BAS 6-4
Technical Description EN/LZB 111 0542 P2B
6.3 Control Architecture
By the term control architecture it is here meant the hierarchy of
intelligent system features that cooperate in order to allow the operator
to get information about the overall network condition and to possibly
modify some configuration parameters.
6.3.1 Hierarchy
The EM is the access point for operators wanting to manage the
MINI-LINK BAS. The EM is connected to the CP, which can be
considered as the heart of the management system. The CP, in turn,
communicates with a number of system elements of different types:
• C-AAS (CE Shelf)
• R-AAS (Radio Shelf)
• AT
From the EM point of view, the complete set made up of the CP and
all controlled equipment and shelves is referenced to as NE. In this
perspective the EM manages a number of NEs.
The CP is essential for the management of the system, and it is
connected to the MINI-LINK BAS through the ATM network.
