  • Publication number: 20200128029
    Abstract: An NE (10) according to the present invention includes a main signal transfer unit (11) configured to transfer a main signal for user data through a main signal path r1 between this NE (10) and another NE (10), a monitoring and control processing unit (12) configured to transmit and receive a monitoring and control signal for monitoring and control through a monitoring and control path r2 between this NE (10) and an NMS (20), and a path separation unit (13) configured to separate the main signal path r1 and the monitoring and control path r2 upon detection of unauthorized access. This provides a network device capable of diminishing effects on communication services by the main signal.

  • Publication number: 20170006465
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a wireless communications device, a wireless communications system, an automatic setting method, and a program, whereby settings for communications via a network can be efficiently set between wireless communications devices connected by a wireless link. [Solution] A wireless communications device (1) having a reception unit (12) and a generation unit (14). The reception unit (12) receives, via the wireless link and from other wireless communications devices, data including setting information relating to the other wireless communications devices and for communicating via the network. The generation unit (14) uses the setting information relating to other wireless communications devices and generates setting information relating to the local device.

  • Patent number: 8964534
    Abstract: A monitor and control device includes a monitor and control unit transmitting to a monitor target device a monitor and control signal (M&CS) through a M&CS path in a case of a malfunction occurred in a main signal path, and transmits to the monitor target device the M&CS through the main signal path in a case of a malfunction occurred in the M&CS path, the monitor target device including: a first path connection unit connected to the main signal path passing either a main signal in which the M&CS for monitoring and controlling the monitor target device is multiplexed or a main signal in which the M&CS is not multiplexed; a second path connection unit connected to the M&CS path passing the M&CS; and a selection unit selecting whether to perform transmission and reception of the M&CS by either one of the main signal path and the M&CS path.

  • Patent number: 8923332
    Abstract: In a wireless communication network system and on a route of a network which is being used for communication, in case a fall of transmission rate occurs depending on AMR, there is an inconvenience that, even though there exists another route with faster transmission rate, switching to it cannot be made. The route selection method of the present invention is a route selection method in a communication network using a microwave communication system, and depending on the changes in transmission capacity of each route of the network, a route with larger transmission capacity is selected as the route to communicate.

  • Publication number: 20110242985
    Abstract: A microwave communication system which performs information communication between an indoor unit and outdoor units. A plurality of transmission units in the indoor unit are switchably connected to the outdoor units by means of a cross connect function, where each transmission unit has a two-way branch function. Typically, each of the transmission units manages an IP address of another transmission unit, and detects an adjacent transmission unit based on the IP address.

  • Publication number: 20040224705
    Abstract: An object is to improve the effect of advertising display using the display unit in the rear display unit of a mobile terminal. An advertiser transmits advertising contents from a contents server to a portable telephone. A user displays the advertising contents on the display unit in the rear face and the like of the portable telephone in public places and the like so as to advertise the contents to a third party. The advertiser shares a part of the communication fee for compensating the user for displaying the advertisement.
