Further for the support of the TransNova^® systems the PC must have a connection to the fixed telephone network so that the PC can be called.

In the TransNova^® systems the function "Call-Home" can be activated.

When certain criteria is reached the TransNova^® system will execute a telephone call to the NMS.

This criteria can be any or all of the following:

A special event, e.g. CDR information to be downloaded, the equipment has performed a Reset, or SIM Card in a TMG is out of budget etc.
Power supply fail, or interfaces have failed either subscriber side or Telecom side.
