An SNMP agent incorporated into the NPU enables extensive In Band (IB)
management of the Base Station and all its registered SUs. Out Of Band (OOB)
management is supported through a dedicated 10/100 Base-T interface. A serial
RS-232 port supports local configuration, monitoring and debugging.

Two NPU modules can be used to provide a 1+1 redundancy scheme. The
redundancy mechanism, to be supported in future releases, will be based on a
Master <-> Slave principle, where the slave is in passive mode and is constantly
updating all the learning tables and networking parameters of the master card.

Access Unit (AU-IDU)
The double Euro AU-IDU module contains the WiMAX-ready MAC and modem
and is responsible for the wireless network connection establishment and for
bandwidth management. Each AU-IDU connects to the NPU via the back plane. In
addition, each AU-IDU connects to all other AU slots via the back plane over a
shared bus.
