Management Tools

7.4.1Software Update

The W2x terminals run Linux OS on an Intel hardware platform. The flash file system is formatted as two partitions, each capable of holding a complete software image. If a software update process should get interrupted, e.g. power failure during the update process, there is always a last known good firmware image to boot from.

7.4.1.1Manual Software Update

Manual software updates is supported from FTP or HTTP(S) servers. It is also possible to upgrade the software via a browser button in the WUI from a local computer.

7.4.1.2Automatic Software Update

Automatic software updates from Ericsson’s update server are supported. In this case, the W2x terminals will at regular intervals poll the update server for updates. If there is an image available a download and upgrade process is initiated.

7.4.1.3Backup and Restore Configuration

By using the WUI, the end-user can backup and restore configuration files to/from a local PC.

7.4.2System Log

The W2x terminals include a system log accessible both from the CLI and WUI as a text file.

The system logging information is written to 5 files which are rotated in a circular fashion. The files are limited to 200Kbytes each, which equals a maximum of 1 MB total logging information. The files are not saved to flash and will be lost when rebooting or when power is disconnected.

When persistent logging is enabled, the log files are written to flash memory in two files alternately.

Different levels of logging (Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Info and Debug) can be set depending on how much information is desired.

The syslog events can be saved to a local file or forwarded to remote syslog server.

7.4.2.1BSD Syslog Remote Logging

The W2x terminals are able to distribute none, some or all system log events using the BSD Syslog message format on UDP.

7.4.3Fault Management

If an error condition occurs, the “Alarm” LED on the unit is lit (red) and the corresponding cause is displayed in the WUI (on the Overview page). An event message with severity level “Error” is also generated in the syslog.

W2x Series specifications

The Ericsson W2x Series is a robust line of advanced wireless communication solutions designed to meet the growing demands of both urban and rural environments. With a primary focus on enhancing mobile broadband experiences, the W2x Series represents a significant leap in technological capabilities, featuring both hardware and software innovations that drive connectivity forward.

One of the core features of the W2x Series is its support for next-generation mobile standards, including 5G New Radio (NR). This enables operators to deliver higher data speeds, reduced latency, and increased capacity to end-users. Leveraging Massive MIMO technology, the W2x Series utilizes multiple antennas at the base station, allowing for simultaneous connections and more efficient spectrum usage. This results in improved coverage and enhanced overall network performance.

The W2x Series also integrates advanced beamforming techniques. These techniques focus the signal in specific directions, which not only improves signal strength but also minimizes interference. This capability is particularly beneficial in dense urban environments where signal degradation can be a challenge.

In addition to its impressive 5G capabilities, the W2x Series is designed for seamless integration with existing 4G networks, ensuring operators can provide a smooth transition for users without significant disruption. This backward compatibility is crucial as it allows for a gradual rollout of new services while maintaining support for legacy devices.

Power efficiency has been a key consideration in the design of the W2x Series. The advanced hardware is engineered to consume less energy, thereby reducing operational costs and contributing to sustainability goals. Additionally, the series supports Intelligent Energy Management features that optimize power consumption based on real-time usage patterns.

Another distinguishing characteristic of the W2x Series is its modular architecture. This flexibility allows network operators to customize their deployments according to specific regional needs and operational requirements. Whether installed in remote locations or urban centers, the W2x Series can adapt to various physical and environmental constraints.

Security is also paramount in today's connected world. The W2x Series incorporates robust security frameworks that safeguard user data and ensure compliance with international standards. This focus on security fosters trust among users as well as network operators.

In summary, the Ericsson W2x Series stands out with its cutting-edge features, including 5G NR support, Massive MIMO, beamforming technology, and modular design. Combined with energy efficiency and enhanced security, this series is well-equipped to support future wireless demands, making it a vital asset for network operators looking to enhance service offerings and user experiences.
