1 Getting Started

1.1 Introduction
The PASOLINK Network Management Terminal (PNMT) was developed by NEC to manage of
its PASOLINK fixed point-to-point wireless access system networks. The PNMT is a scaled
down version of the PASOLINK Network Management System (PNMS) that is designed as a
maintenance tool for field engineers to locally and remotely monitor alarms, control points,
generate reports, and archive data, all within a familiar graphical user interface, and all in real time.
The PNMT is a mobile laptop computer fitted with the NEC PNMT software package that
interfaces and controls NEC’s PASOLINK short haul wireless communications equipment.
This software package remotely monitors and controls the status and configuration of an entire
PASOLINK network with associated equipment including the performance of the actual
microwave links.

1.3 PNMT Communication Interfaces
1.3.1 Communications
Communications between the PNMT and the wireless communications network equipment can be:

• via the PNMT port of the PASOLINK+ equipment,

• via the DSC to a remote node in the network.

1.3.1.1 PNMT Port Interface

The PNMT Port is located on the front of the PASOLINK+ unit.

The PNMT port consists of an RJ-45 connector and connects to a Control (CTRL) Module
installed in the IDU via a serial cable, which is connected to the relevant communications port of
the PNMT Computer. The PNMT Port has the following properties:

‰ Port Configuration: RS-232

‰ Connector type: RJ-45 modular jack
‰ Bit per second rate: 1200/2400/4800/9600/19200 (default 19200)

2 System Operation & Maintenance
This chapter explains the menu structure and procedures for operation of the PNMT. The
explanation uses typical PNMT screenshots to illustrate the menu hierarchy.

2.1 The PNMT Screen

The PNMT window is composed of the following main areas (Refer to Figure 1).
Title Bar
The title bar is used to indicate the title of the window.
Common Menu Bar
The common menu bar of the window presents the System and Help options, and indicates
which commands can be executed from among the various options. The Help function can also
display a pdf version of this operation manual.
NE-specific Menu Bar
This menu is a list of tasks that can be performed on a specific network element (NE)
displayed in the PNMT. Configuration, Event Log, and Link Performance Monitor functions
can be executed in the NE-specific Menu bar.
Block Diagram
The block diagram shows the equipment comprising the PASOLINK+ wireless
communications system. Its main purpose in the window is to display a current summary of
the alarm status of the equipment. You can click on a specific block to display the status of
equipment in the data window.
Data Window
This window displays in detail the status and alarm items of a specific part of the NE. You can
select the tab or the block of a specific part that you wish to monitor in the data window.
Tabs
To view the status and alarms in the specific part of the NE, click on the tab at the bottom of
the Data window.
Command Button
The command button is used to execute (on the computer) the operation specified in the popup
window.
Login User
This indicates the user who is currently logged in to the PNMT.
One Touch Expandable Button / Divider
Initially the PNMT screen is split evenly to display the data from the two NE’s within a hop by
using a divider. Click this button to move the divider to the edge of the window.

2.14.3 Relay Configuration

There are 11 relays in the PASOLINK+ IDU. Consequently, 11 parallel alarms can be defined.
Relays RL01, RL02 and RL03 have fixed alarms. Maintenance, PS ALM and CPU Alarm are
outputted on RL01, RL02 and RL03 respectively.
RL04 to RL11 are user-definable relays. If the HK-OUT’s are enabled, RL08 to RL11 are
allocated for Housekeeping (HK) controls.
The PNMT allows the user to configure the relays in a table format. The columns indicate the
relays (RL01 to RL11) and the rows indicate the parallel alarms available in the PASOLINK+ IDU.
The following indicators are used in the table:
‰ Out – indicates that the alarm in the corresponding row is issued on the corresponding relay.
‰ HK – indicates that the corresponding relay is used for House Keeping.
‰ Mask – indicates that no alarm is issued in the corresponding relay when the maintenance
mode is activated.
‰ Blank button – not related to the corresponding alarm.

2.18.9 BER Threshold
The BER in the PASOLINK+ system is monitored in 3 sections – (1) the MUX section, (2) the
DMR section and the (3) Radio section. The Radio section is available in 1+1 systems only and is
used for switchover function. The figure below illustrates these sections:

The MUX and DMR section BER is measured in terms of Signal Degrade and E-BER. Signal
Degrade is triggered when the BER is worse than the preset threshold (1E-6, 1E-7, etc.). Excessive
BER (E-BER) occurs when the BER is worse than the preset threshold (1E-3, 1E-4, or 1E-5).
The radio section, on the other hand, monitors the BER for switchover purposes. When the BER
becomes worst than the preset value of the Low BER (RX Switch) the RX is switched to the other
system in a 1+1 configuration. In a similar manner, when the BER becomes worse than the preset
value for High BER, it is switched to the other system.
The preset value mentioned above is called the BER Threshold. The BER threshold can be set in 6
points: (1) Signal Degrade (MUX), (2) E-BER (MUX), (3) Signal Degrade (DMR), (4) E-BER
(MUX), (5) Low BER, and (6) High BER. Low BER and High BER, however, are only available
in 1+1 systems.
