Wireless Access Products
Overview
The ClearView Overview and Operation one-day instructor-led course consists of 4 modules focusing on the ClearView operation and basic configuration. It starts with NMS overview and deployment configurations, nodes and network management and is followed by fault and performance management. It is recommended for level-1 RDL 3000 support teams dealing with the monitoring of RDL 3000 system performance in a network, basic NE management and PM/KPI monitoring and reporting.
The course content is enriched with hands-on labs (with over 70% hands-on if done onsite). If done online, the hands-on part is limited to the demonstration and walk-through of the feature using a live ClearView server.
Courses are conducted by AVIAT expert trainers in a mentoring environment backed by their deep technology expertise and experience in implementation of microwave wireless and IP networks.
The course is conducted at the Aviat Training locations or can be arranged at customer sites.
