14 NMS Network Management System
The purpose of the NMS (Network Monitoring System) is to provide tools for management of a
radio network built on SATEL-EASy+ radio modems. NMS allows user to manage, monitor,
diagnose and configure SATEL-EASy+ modem network remotely without disturbing user’s data
flow.
This chapter includes a very short description of SATEL NMS for SATEL-EASy+ radio modem
family. More information is provided by the SATEL NETCO NMS and SATEL NMS PC user manuals
and application notes.
