The MIDAS operator workstation connects to the MIDAS Controller through
an Ethernet LAN and provides the network operator with an easy-to-use GUI
for configuring and administering the network. Access to network
management functions is controlled through passwords and access lists.

The operator workstation functions include:

• Providing system administration utilities for setting up operator

accounts and access rights.

• Providing operator access for network configuration.
• Displaying real time resource usage including transponder occupancy

graph.

• Displaying

event logs and customer reports.

• Exporting billing records (CDRs).
• Displaying alarm and status information received from network

components.

1. If required, the operator workstation can be located remotely.

2. If an NMS Server is utilized, then Multiple Point of Control (i.e. Multiple

Remote NMS workstations) can be connected.
