Constellation® January 2006
3-4 Constellation Radio Configurations
Network Management and Control
Network Management Interfaces
The Constellation Radio offers versatile open network management with an
embedded SNMP agent and compatibility with Harris’ NetBoss, StarView, or
FarScan network management platforms.
User-Friendly Radio Interface Tool
The Constellation also supports a Keypad interface. The Keypad can be used for
local (per hop) and remote monitoring of alarms and statuses for any radio in
a contiguous network, and for provisioning the network elements. The Keypad
allows the customer to quickly configure a system or diagnose a trouble on a
hop.
In place of a Keypad, the customer can connect a terminal (VT100-compatible)
or a laptop with terminal emulator software to communicate with the
Constellation radio.
External Alarm/Control
Eight alarm dry-contact relay outputs (Keypad programmable) and eight opto-
isolated alarm inputs are provided for customer-configured alarms.
Antenna Coupling Unit (ACU)
The ACU options offer a wide variety of optimal RF transmission architectures
as well as expansion ports that accommodate additional radios on existing
antenna feed systems. Refer to Chapter 6 for more information.
