Remote OMT over IP R58B
The OMT Operation and Maintenance Terminal is a powerful PC application providing efficient aid for the operation and maintenance of GSM radio base stations. The OMT supports all RBSs in the GSM RBS family and is used locally at the RBS site. It connects via a serial cable from the OMT PC to a port on the RBS.
The main areas of OMT usage are GSM RBS configuration and fault localization.
Other important features are:
- An easy-to-use graphical user interface.
- On-line help.
The Remote OMT and the Remote OMT over IP Internet Protocol have the same functionality as the OMT but can be used remotely from the RBS. The Remote OMT utilizes the regular site transmission via the BSC Base Station Controller for communication with the RBS. The Remote OMT over IP can connect to any GSM RBS in the network from any remote location with IP access to the serving BSC.
The ability to perform OMT operations remotely yields a number of benefits:
- Limited presence at site is needed.
- Faster site configuration.
- Easier site surveillance.
