FIXED WIRELESS TERMINALS IN NETWORK MANAGEMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A network management method and apparatus for wireless terminals. The method and apparatus comprises a new generation of wireless terminals having digita l signal processors that can monitor the operating characteristics of the associated wireless terminals and report those characteristics to a network management computer. The network management computer receives communications from the wireless terminals and takes corrective action for out-of- specification conditions and updates the associated DSPs with corrections an d flexible dialing instructions. The network management computer also gathers utilization statistics reported to it by the wireless terminals. The wireles s terminals can be initialized by direct connection to the wireless terminal with a simple telephone instrument or can be initialized over the air by the network management computer.
