Operation & Maintenance
A microprocessor monitors all functional alarms and transmits them on a data bus extended throughout the network. The service engineer can access the alarm bus at any location using a PC, giving an overview of the terminal status. Using the same bus, near-end and far-end loops can be set in order to facilitate fault tracing and make an installation test. This integrated maintenance system is further supplemented by a service channel with digital and/or analog interface. The local supervision interface (display and switches) on the MMU can, for example, be used to set frequency, transmitter on/off and output power during installation. The local supervision interface can also give a first fault indication. See Section 10.2 on page 282. Two PC programs are available for installation and supervision of MINI-LINK E: MINI-LINK Netman, for centralized supervision MINI-LINK Service Manager (MSM), for local service of terminals, including installation and fault finding 22
