Network management system access to radio frequency outdoor units in a point-to-multipoint wireless network
First Claim
1. A system for providing network management access to radio frequency (RF) outdoor units (ODUs) of base station equipment in a point-to-multipoint wireless network, comprising:
- an RF outdoor unit receiver;
at least one RF outdoor unit transmitter;
a frequency reference interconnection between the receiver and the at least one transmitter, the interconnection carrying a master frequency reference from the receiver; and
a network management communication path to the transmitters via the receiver modulating network management signals on a frequency carrier multiplexed with the master frequency reference on the frequency reference interconnection.

Abstract
A system for providing network management access to RF outdoor units of a point-to-multipoint wireless network. Network management signals from a network management system (NMS) are transmitted from an outdoor unit (ODU) receiver to destination ODU transmitters via modulation of a low frequency carrier over a frequency reference interconnection carrying a frequency reference signal. The frequency of the carrier is lower than the frequency reference avoiding any interference between the signals.
