Abstract
A communications system includes a base station operable to communicate with a terminal unit over a wireless interface and a packet network coupled to the base station and operable to communicate with the base station. The communications system also includes a network management system coupled to the packet network. The network management system is operable to generate a management message to manage the base station. The network management system is also operable to transparently communicate the management message to the base station and to transparently receive a response to the management message from the base station.

A method for managing base stations in a wireless system, comprising:
- generating a management message for the base station;
- transparently communicating the management message from a network management system to the base station;
- and
- transparently receiving a response to the management message at the network management system from the base station.
A communications system, comprising:
- a base station operable to communicate with a terminal unit over a wireless interface;
- a packet network coupled to the base station and operable to communicate with the base station;
- and
- a network management system coupled to the packet network, the network management system operable to generate a management message to manage the base station, the network management system also operable to transparently communicate the management message to the base station and to transparently receive a response to the management message from the base station.
