Based on Hop management, the system can simultaneously display the information of the two ends of a link. Thus, you can view and set the information of a hop in an easy manner. The Hop management supports the functions such as the setting and query of the intermediate frequency (IF) and radio frequency (RF) information, and the configuration of services and protection.
The Hop management function is used to view and set the information based on a pair of equipment, one of which transmits signals and the other receives signals.
In the case of the radio equipment, the configuration parameters are complicated. You need to ensure the consistency of parameters between the equipment at the two ends of a microwave link. By using the Hop management function, you can perform operations on the equipment at the two ends of a link at the same time. This facilitates the parameter configuration. In Figure 1, a microwave link represents a hop.
The Hop management is based on per link and the equipment at the two ends of a link are managed at the same time. This ensures the consistency of configuration data between NEs at the two ends.
