7. An apparatus comprising:
-
a transmitter configured to transmit system information about operation and maintenance support services the apparatus is able to provide and/or identity information of the apparatus; a receiver configured to receive identity information of at least one locally operable node, radio environment information of the at least one locally operable node, status information on connections to a core network of the at least one locally operable node and/or information on capabilities of the at least one locally operable node; and a selector configured to select, configure and/or reconfigure predetermined operation and maintenance functions for at least one of the locally operable nodes, the at least one of the locally operable nodes thus being able to operate in a desired operation mode to provide access services, if a previously established connection of the at least one of the locally operable nodes to the core network is inadequate. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
