Mandatory, in active and standby working mode

Function
Providing the RNC with configuration management, performance
management, fault management, security management, and loading
management

Providing the operation and maintenance port of the RNC system for the
LMT/M2000

Capacity
Counter Index of the OMUa Board

Number of recorded alarms The maximum number of recorded alarms is 150,000.

Time when the standby OMU data is
synchronized with the active OMU data
Duration of the synchronization between the
active OMU files and standby OMU files
The standby OMU synchronizes its data with that of the
active OMU board every second.
Five minutes. The time needed for the synchronization
varies according to the size and quantity of the files to
be synchronized.

Duration of the switchover between the active Duration from when the request for OMU switchover is
and standby OMUs accepted to when the switchover is finished. This
duration lasts for two to three minutes.

Duration of the OMU restart Duration of the OMU restart due to OMU fault. This
duration lasts for about three minutes.
