1. INTRODUCTION
This document is developed as a guideline to help to ensure a high degree of accuracy,
completeness and uniformity in the system design of a PNMS (PASOLINK Network
Management System).
NECs PASOLINK system can be remotely monitored and controlled by the optional PNMT
(PASOLINK Network Management Terminal) and the PNMS*.
In order to use these systems, each IDU needs to be equipped with the optional PMC
(PASOLINK Management Card). The PNMT software is installed in the Windows
95/98/NT/2000 based portable PC and connected to SV (marked as LA) port at 9.6/19.2kbps
asynchronous mode. PNMT can login to a PMC and monitor and control any PASOLINK
remotely in the network. Therefore the PNMT is used mainly for maintenance purpose. For
continuous network monitoring, PNMS is required. All PASOLINKs under the PNMS are
always accessible.
To facilitate the system design, this guide describes the PNMS and its components, with
emphasis on the capability of each component and the connections that makes the
communication of network management system possible. It is also includes the procedure for
PASOLINK network system design, the architecture, the interpretation of a radio network to
the system, determination of the communication paths, and consideration of system
expansion. In addition, this guide gives some examples of System design, the drawings for
cabling of components and the PMC (PASOLINK Management Card) naming and
addressing scheme are the topics of relating to the detailed PNMS system configuration.
*PNMS and PNMT is not mandatory requirement s for the operation of PASOLINK network.

2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
NEC designed PASOLINK Network Management System (PNMS) which enables
remote monitoring and control of a radio network. The NEC PNMS is a sophisticated
supervisory tool for transmission equipment and allows operator to perform remote
system monitor alarms, control NE configuration parameters and display event logging
and performance data in either UNIX or Microsoft Windows platform.
Figure 2.1 shows a typical PNMS application. The system consists of a central computer
(PNMS Computer) and a number of remote data processing nodes called PM card. It
supervises and controls PASOLINK transmission equipments.
In the following sections the functions and the usage of each component are described in
more detail.

3. SYSTEM COMPONENTS
3.1 PNMS-Central Site Computer System
The Central Site Computer is the central operator interface and database, from which system
operators manage the PASOLINK network. It receives data from the network via PM Card,
stores it, and displays it to the operator in a variety of formats. It accepts command request
from the operators and sends them to the on-site equipment for execution. Two types of
PNMS can be proposed in accordance with Customers Network size. One is PNMS on
Windows NT/2000 (supporting up to 500NEs) and the other is PNMS on UNIX OS
(supporting up to 1,000NEs).

3.2 PNMT - PASOLINK Network Management Terminal


The PNMT (PASOLINK Network Management Terminal) is a portable computer fitted with
NEC's PMNT software, which is used, as an on-site maintenance tool by technicians. It
connects directly to the LA port of PASOLINK to upgrade the configuration and software. It is
also used to provide local/remote data display and control capabilities similar to those of
PNMS.
The PNMT function can also be run on the PNMS to provide configuration and application
software upgrade for PM Card from a central point.
The PNMT runs in the Windows 95/98/NT/2000 environment and makes extensive use of the
user friendly Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI). It cannot only interrogate individual
PMCs but also monitors the network (subnetwork). It means that the PNMT user can make
connections to remote PMC from any node within a PASOLINK subnetwork. A PASOLINK
subnetwork is defined as a collection of PMC nodes headed by Central PM CARD. Sub PM
Card and Remote PM Card nodes are other node types which can be part of a PASOLINK
subnetwork. This PASOLINK subnetwork is called PASOLINK CPM Cluster in later section.
Note that the PNMT is an optional component of the PNMS system.

3.3 PMC- PASOLINK Management Card


PM Cards are located at each site in the monitored network to collect alarm and status
information from PASOLINK and to control that equipment in response to commands from
the central site operator. The PMC primary tasks are to control and acquire data from
PASOLINK at remote location and transfer this data back to the central site. The PM card is
designed as plug-in modules.

3.3.1 SNMP Agent Function


- PM Cards is functioned as a SNMP agent, which detects alarm and status changes in
monitored equipment, and sends of change notifications to PNMS
- PM Card retains the MIB data and transmit a response to SNMP GET commands from
PNMS and PNMT.
- Execution of SNMP SET message commands received from PNMS/PNMT and transmit
a control command to the alarm control portion (ALM CONT) in the IDU.

3.3.2 Collecting Performance Monitor Data


- Performance measurement is equivalent to ITU-T G.826 standard.*
* The measurement is by the total value of performance monitoring data of RF portion, not the
performance monitoring data of every 2MB traffic as stated in ITU-T G.826.
- The following performance parameters are measured.
- Erred Second Ratio (ESR)
- Severely Erred Second Ratio (SESR)
- Unavailable Seconds Ratio (UASR)
- Background Block Error Ratio (BBER)
- Out of Frame Seconds (OFS) only for PASOLINK-S
Stored period in PM Card
There are two types of performance data files, one is every 15 minutes data file and the other
is every day data file.

- Performance Monitor file format


Performance monitor file is Binary format in PM Card (This file is stored in PNMS/PNMT as
ASCII format.). It can be converted to the desirable format by the customer.

3.3.3 Collecting Event Log Data


- Hold event log of changed MIB data. The following events are logged.
- Status change
- Alarm occurrence
- Alarm recovery
- Control initiation
- Parameter change
- Up to 300 event logs are stored.
(The old event logs will be erased as the new event is logged.)
- Event log file format
Events log file is ASCII format. It can be converted to the desirable format by the customer.

3.3.4 Configuration File


- Hold information of PASOLINK logical network. There are three kinds of file as follows.
(1) ME Configuration file : Common file
- Setting Auxiliary input and output
- Threshold value of Performance Monitor data
(2) System Configuration file : As per PM card
- NE name and PM Card type
- IP address of each port of PM card, Communication speed
- Opposite IP address
(3) Network Configuration file : As per PM card
- Sub network name
- IP address and PM Card type in the Sub network

3.3.5 PMC Operating Modes


Depending on the size, a network can normally be divided into a number of sub-networks. To
distribute the traffic load we normally define one of the PMC as master and the rest as slaves
through discrete design. As introduced in above, we also call a master a Central PMC (CPM),
a sub-master a Sub-Central PMC (SCPM) and similarly, a slave a Remote PMC (RPM).
The Roles of CPM, SCPM and RPM and their rule are explained, 1. Basic function of PMC,
2. Sizing rule of PMC, 3. Adoption Criteria of SCPM, and 4. Positioning of SCPM
1. Basic function of PMC
The PM Cards (PMC) operational mode is based on Master/Slave polling concept. The
network consists of a Central site PM Card (CPM), a possibly Sub-central site PMC (SCPM)
and a Remote Site PMC (RPM) installed with an individual software functioning as CPM,
SCPM and RPM.
Even though there is no difference in the hardware design, the PMC will be playing different
roles according to the installed software in a network management system as follows;
(1) Master mode (CPM):
To get information from the remote sites and to generate reports to the Central Computer
(PNMS). The CPM may act as a terminal unit; which processes and then transfers all the
physical information of equipment, which is directly connected to the CPM. In addition,
CPM is connected to PNMS via a dedicated serial communications link, and passes
messages received from RPMCs to the PNMS for display.

PNMS Engineering manual


-5-

ROI-S04188

(2) Sub-Master mode (Sub-Central PMC, SCPM): The SCPM has two operating functions:
Master and gateway function which performs the same activity as a CPM acting as a
gateway between CPM and RPM and routing the messages from CPM to RPM and
back.
Terminal unit function that acts as a stand-alone data acquisition and control unit
which processes and then transfers all the physical information of equipment which is
directly connected to the SCPM. This function is the same as that of RPM (Slave
Mode).
(3) Slave Mode (RPM):
RPM is a stand-alone data acquisition and control unit. It monitors and controls
equipment at some remote location. Its prime task is to monitor and control and transfer
data back to the central site.
2. Sizing Rule of PMC
The sizing restriction of PMC is specified as follows:
(1) CPM-RPM Configuration:
In the case of CPM-RPM configuration, one CPM can handle up to13 RPM(s). To
increase the number of RPM to more than 14, another CPM is required.
One PNMS can handle up to 32 CPMs. (The detailed network sizing rule is described in
SECTION 6.)
Therefore in case of regional PNMS-CPM-RPM configuration, one PNMS can handle
max. 416 RPM(s) (32CPMX13RPM=416).
(2) CPM-SCPM-RPM Configuration:
In case more than 416 RPM(s) are required to be handled by one PNMS, SCPM is used.
One SCPM can handle up to 13RPM (S)
One CPM can handle up to 31 or 30 SCPM(s). (Refer section 6)
Therefore, if SCPM is used, the number of RPM which can be handled by one PNMS is
increased more than 416 RPMs.
As a rule of thumb, SCPM is used in order to increase the network size that can be
supervised by PNMS.
By using the SCPM, one CPM associated with 31 SCPMs can handle up to 416 NEs
(SCPMs and RPMs). This can result in a network configuration with the optimal number of
CPM(s) within one PNMS coverage.

ROI-S04188

(3) Adoption Criteria SCPM


As basic rule, if the number of RPM becomes 10, a SCPM is assigned on the head of the
group of RPM(s) then connected to CPM. As mentioned before, additional 3 RPM(S) may
be connected in the maximum case . However this possibility is reserved for future
expansion. (Of course, if no future expansion is sure, up to 13 RPM(S) may be connected
from initial stage.)
(4) Rule of SCPM
SCPM is considered as a kind of RPM with enhanced function such as Sub-master
in order to expand the network size. Therefore, depends on the network configuration,
there is a case that RPM may be applicable and there is a case that SCPM should be
applied. In other word, SCPM NE is NE which may be selected as RPM or SCPM
depends on the actual network configuration.

3.3.6 CPM/SCPM/RPM Role Change Function


When the PM card founds an interruption of polling signal from the upper PM card, this PM
card can function as CPM. Several PM cards do the role change. The PM card cease role
change when receiving a polling signal from its upper PM card. During role change, an alarm
is indicated but role change status cannot be viewed on the PNMS.
Example 1
If there is a link fault between RPM3 and 4, RPM4 will role change to CPM.
Example 2
If there is an equipment fault in RPM4, RPM5 will role change to CPM.

7.1.1 IP Addressing Scheme for PNMS-CPM Subnetwork


CPM NMS port and PC PNMS serial port must be located in the same sub network as shown
Figure7.2. In this figure, the CPM is connected to PNMS through RS-232C interface and PPP
encapsulation. The CPM NMS port IP address acts as the gateway to its PASOLINK cluster.
For example, CPM passes an IP packet from PNMS with 172.20.101.3 to the destination NE.
For this PNMS and CPM sub-network (A), PNMS uses a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252.
(fixed). One PNMSCPM sub network includes 4 IP addresses accordingly. However 2 IP
addresses are not available because one is assigned for network address, the other is
reserved for broadcast address.

7.1. 2 IP Addressing Scheme for PASOLINK CPM Cluster


This section shows the IP addressing scheme in PASOLINK CPM cluster (B). PNMS uses a
Subnet mask of 255.255.255.240. (fixed) for this sub-network. Therefore one sub-network in
CPM cluster has 16 IP addresses. However available IP addresses for Remote PM Card
(RPM) are 13 as shown in section 6 Network sizing rule. It is because one is assigned for
network address, the other is reserved for broadcast address, in addition one IP address is
assigned for CPM.
For reference assigned IP address and available IP address of each sub-network are shown
in following table.

Subnet-A : 172.20.100. 0 3
172.20.100. 1 2

7.2.1 IP Addressing Scheme for Router-CPM Subnetwork


CPM NMS port and the Router Serial port must be located in the same sub network as shown
Figure 7.4. In this figure, the CPM is connected to the router (R) and must be added to the IP
route of the said router. The interface is RS-232C and PPP encapsulation. The CPM NMS
port IP address is added to the IP route table of the router and acts as the gateway to the
PASOLINK CPM cluster. For example, an IP packet with 172.20.101.3 is sent to the IP
network, the router passes this to the CPM NMS port and then the CPM passes it to the
destination NE, which is the recipient of the packet as shown in Figure 7.4.
For this Router and CPM sub-network, PNMS uses a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252
(fixed). One RouterCPM sub network includes 4 IP addresses accordingly. However only 2
IP addresses are not available because one is assigned for network address, the other is
reserved for broadcast address.
. To allocate plural CPMs and Router ports in the future in this sub-network for network
expansion as shown Figure 7.5, the Class C sub-network (for example 172.20.100.**) is
recommended.

7.3.2 IP Addressing Scheme for PASOLINK CPM Cluster


PNMS uses a Subnet mask of 255.255.255.240. (fixed) for this sub-network. Therefore one
sub-network in CPM cluster has 16 IP addresses. Depending on the size, a network can
normally be divided into a number of sub-networks to distribute the traffic load. Each sub
network can accommodate 16 IP addresses. Available IP addresses for Remote PM Card
(RPM) are 13.
In Figure7.6, Subnet-B is assigned from 172.20.101.0 to 172.20.101.15. (16 IP Addresses)
However 172.20.101.0 and 172.20.101.15 is not available because 172.20.101.0. is sub
network address and 172.20.101.15 is reserved for broadcast address. In addition one IP
address is assigned on Central PM Card. Therefore 13 IP addresses (for 13 RPMs) are
available in Subnet-B (same as for all other sub network).
In addition IP address for next sub-network (Subnet-C) shall be assigned from
172.20.101.16. (172.20.101.17 to172.20.101.30 is available), even if Subnet-B has less than
13 NEs (for example only one NE), Subnet-C is started to assign from 172.20.101.17.
One CPM cluster can include maximum 32 sub-networks as explained in Section 6.
Therefore one CPM cluster can accommodate maximum 512 IP addresses(16 IP address x
32 sub-networks) . This maximum 512 consecutive IP addresses are reserved in PNMS. Two
(2) class C sub-networks (for example, 172.20.101.** and 172.20.102.**) are required to
assure the 512 IP Addresses.
For reference assigned IP address and available IP address of each sub-network are shown
in Table 7.4.

the number of CPMs per PNMS can be optimised to three (3) to cover the maximum 1000 NEs
instead of the above theoretical maximum 32 CPMs by introducing effective mediation devices
such as MIU (Refer to Section 12.2)

8. INTEROPERABILITY WITH OTHER NETWORK


If the network is composed of only PASOLINK, the integration of PNMS will be simple.
However in case of the existing customers transmission network, interconnectivities and
interoperability among different manufacturers will have to be confirmed. The purpose of this
section is to allow the PASOLINK supervisory network to managed each heterogeneously
located PASOLINK hop through customers existing transmission network and IP network.
For example, the interconnected equipments could be:

Note.2) Terminal impedance of other manufacture equipment is not clear. Therefore output
logical condition of other manufacture equipment is not clear in high impedance
condition. In this case it is impossible to connect each other. (Connection test is

9. TYPICAL CONFIGURATION
The PNMS supports a variety of radio topologies. That is, there are many ways in which the
connections can be made between PNMS, CPM, SCPM and RPM. The system design is to
analyse the network and customer requirement, to decide the PASOLINK network
configuration, to estimate the cost and provide customer with some optimised solutions.
Based on the radio network information a PASOLINK network management system can be
formed by following steps specified below:
Select PNMS Architecture and decide on the number of PNMS hardware.
Decide that the PASOLINK network configuration based on given radio topology.
Divide the monitored network into sub-networks, which is geographically and
functionally manageable for monitoring and controlling in accordance with section
6.Network Sizing rule.
Decide on the PMC operation modes (such as CPM, SCPM, and RPM) and the PMC
Determine the data communication path.

9.6 CPM Reduction Solution


In accordance with customers network such that many CPM clusters scattered in all over the
region, plural CPMs are required to be monitored and controlled by PNMS as shown in
Figure9.6. In such cases the number of the required Router serial port increases in
accordance with the number of CPMs. If the number of NEs within a PASOLINK cluster
managed by a CPM is smaller than 416, it is possible to combine such PASOLINK clusters to
optimise the configuration. To reduce CPMs, 3 solutions are proposed as described in
following section.
The concept for reducing CPM is shown Figure 9.7. The CPM function is located at PNMS
site. In case that each PASOLINK cluster scattered all over the region and these are needed
to be connected through customers DSC, HYB CONV can concentrate this connection at
PNMS site. Then single combined signal is connected to CPM.

10. PNMS RELIABILITY


Basically cold stand-by configuration is proposed for PNMS redundancy. In addition Parallel
PNMS can be proposed.

10.1 Cold Stand-by PNMS Principle


Basically cold stand-by PNMS is pre- installed PNMS software. However network
configuration file, event log data and performance monitor data is not included in cold
stand-by PNMS. Cold stand-by PNMS should be assigned same IP addresses as on-line
PNMS and not connected with PNMS network.
Therefore in case that on-line PNMS is down, one of following two procedures could be
taken.
(1) Remake the network configuration file in the cold stand-by PNMS same as that of online PNMS to monitor and control the same network. (Event log and Performance
monitor data of on-line PNMS can not be retrieved in cold stand-by PNMS.
(2) Operator takes a back up data of network configuration file to cold stand-by PNMS disk
when network configuration is changed. In addition (if desired), Operator is
recommended to perform regular back up of event log data and performance monitor
data to cold stand-by disk daily, for instance.
When on-line PNMS is down, Operator should connect the stand-by PNMS with PNMS
network. (The data between the timing of last back up and timing of on-line PNMS clash
cannot be retrieved.)

10.2. Back Up PNMS Data (UNIX version only)


PNMS (UNIX) provides GUI-based backup tool for making backups of the following PNMS
data to another disk. There are two types of PNMS backups method, scheduled backup
(every day or every week) and Manual backup (unscheduled).
-Performance monitor data
-Logging data
-Network configuration data

10.3 Parallel PNMS


Two PNMS can monitor and control PASOLINK network simultaneously and independently.
These are connected to CPM through Router, as shown Figure 10.1. This configuration is
called Parallel PNMS. Parallel" means that status change (ex. Alarm and event occurrence)
of each NE is recognized in both PNMS. Even if the one PNMS is down, the other PNMS can
monitor and control NEs in the network. However, there is case that logging data and
performance monitor data are not synchronized between the PNMS-1 and PNMS-2, i.e.,
such data is not stored into both PNMSs.

PNMS Engineering manual


- 34 -

ROI-S04188

For example, assuming that PNMS-1 is in operation and PNMS-2 is down:


a) Logging data
If alarms occur in PASOLINK network, the alarm log is registered in PNMS-1. However these
logs are not registered in PNMS-2. After PNMS-2 is re-started, the logging data is not
synchronized between PNMS-1 and PNMS-2. In this case Operator is required to download
the logging data from PNMS-1and to upload it to PNMS-2 desired directory and re-start
PNMS-2, if Operator want to synchronize the logging data of both PNMS.
b) Performance monitor data
PNMS collects performance data stored in all PM Cards in the network once a day.
(Collecting time can be set by Operator.) If PNMS-1 collects performance data of all NEs in
the network, PNMS-1 stores performance data of the day. However PNMS-2 does not store
the performance data. Therefore, after PNMS-2 is re-started, the performance data is not
synchronized between PNMS-1 and PNMS-2. In this case Operator is required to download
the performance data from PNMS-1 and upload it to PNMS-2 desired directory and re-start
PNMS-2, if Operator want to synchronize the performance data of both PNMSs.
c) Network configuration data
In addition, the network configuration data can be created from either Network Configuration
tool (PNMS) and is not automatically transferred to another PNMS regardless whether PNMS
is in operation or down. Therefore, in order to synchronize such data between PNMSs,
whenever such data is created or changed from one PNMS, Operator shall remake such data
in another PNMS to be identical to those in one PNMS accordingly.

3. Create configuration file for PM Cards in modified subnetwork and for PNMS by
Network Configuration tool.
4. Export configuration file for each PM Card and PNMS to the directory set up in the
Network Configuration tool.
5. Upload the configuration file for each PM Card and PNMS from PC(Network
Configuration tool) to PNMS Work Station by FTP and import it into PNMS.
6. Download modified configuration file to associated all NEs in new subnetwork and the
Master NE (CPM which new subnetwork is belonging and all SCPMs in the CPM
cluster) from PNMS. Refer to Figure 11.25. (Downloading from PNMT is also available.
In this case copy the configuration files for each NE from PNMS PC to PNMT is
required.)
- Master PM CARD (CPM) and all SCPM in the CPM cluster : Modify Network
Configuration file to be recognized to modification of sub-network configuration
- All NEs in new subnetwork : Modify network configuration file and system
configuration file
- Other PM Card in this CPM Cluster: Although Network Configuration file is
necessary to be modified, the network configuration file is automatically modified
and downloaded from Master PM CARD(CPM or SCPM) to the PM Card under it.
(System Configuration file is not necessary to be modified.)

12. RELATED EQUIPMENT FOR PNMS


12.1 HYB Converter
The Hybrid converter is designed to convert serial interface, RS232C, RS422 and RS485 and
to combine/divide communication signal simultaneously all in one unit. It is used for
transmitting SV signal of PNMS through third party equipment.
It is especially useful for PASOLINK multi-cluster network monitored and controlled by PNMS
through third party equipment to convert interface and to combine or divide supervisory
signal.
Followings are the features of HYB Converter:
Easy setting Interface, function and transmission speed.
-> Selection of interface (RS232C/RS422/RS485), function (interface conversion or
Combine/Divide) and transmission speed (9.6kbps/19.2kbps) is executed by front switch

Interface Conversion function


-> For each port, three physical interfaces may be selected: RS232C, RS422 and RS485.
Following conversions are available.
(1) RS232C form/to RS422
(2) RS232C from/to RS485
(3) RS422 from/to RS485
Combine/Divide function
-> Provide 7 communication ports, up to 1:6 (Maximum) combine/divide function is
available

Flexible function Setting


-> In accordance with network configuration, flexible function setting is available at port level.
(1) Interface conversion function only
(2) Combine/Divide function only
(3) Both Conversion and Combine/Divide function
Figure 12.1 shows a example of using HYB converter in PNMS network.
