Network Configuration Tool

The Network Configuration Tool (NetCfgTool) is an optional application tool for the Pasolink
Network Management System, which provides an easy to use graphical interface in building NEC
PASOLINK networks. It is a powerful tool used to generate configuration files for the Pasolink
Management Cards (PMC) and network connection data files for the Pasolink Network
Management System (PNMS).
1.1
Purpose
This document illustrates the use of the NetCfgTool. The explanation focuses on the common
functions of the NetCfgTool and therefore is for general-purpose operation use. Moreover, the
NEC PNMS is also described in passing for the users to have a general idea of the NEC
PASOLINK NMS.

Creating a New Network Configuration Workspace

To start creating new workspace:
1. Go to File
New on the main menu.
2. A blank workspace will be displayed.

3. If a workspace is currently loaded, a pop-up message will appear to remind the user to
save the current workspace before opening a new one. Click on Cancel button and save
the current workspace and repeat step 1.
4. Start creating and editing network configuration workspace.

Opening an Existing Workspace (*.nct)

NetCfgTool allows you to save a workspace in *.nct file format so that you can open and modify
the current network configuration. Once you load an existing/current workspace you will be able
to modify, delete or add NEs on the network. (See also 2.13 Saving Current Workspace.)
To open an existing
workspace:
1. Click on File
Open at
the main menu of the
main window.
2. Select the *.nct file of the
workspace from the list.
3. Click on Open button.

2.6
Network Properties: Naming the Individual Networks in a Workspace

Since one workspace can contain a number of networks, the NetCfgTool allows you to provide
useful names to each of the networks. By default, Network-x, where x is the network number, is
assigned.
To set the network name:
1. Click on Network
Properties
from the main menu or right click
anywhere on the current Network
window to open the Network
Properties window.
2. Enter the name you want to be

associated to this
workspace/network in the Network
Name box.
3. Click on [OK] button to apply the
new setting.
2.7
Network Properties: Network Address and Subnet Setting

The IP addresses assigned by the NetCfgTool to selected network depend on the assigned
Network Address and Subnet Mask in the Network Properties window. (Please refer to the
PNMS Engineering Manual for the network-sizing rule and IP addressing scheme.)
To set the subnet of the selected network:
1. Click on Network
Properties from
the main menu or right click
anywhere on the current Network
window to open the Network
Properties window.
2. Click on Subnet tab on the Network

Properties window.
3. By default the NetCfgTool will utilize
the private network address
172.18.0.0 with subnet mask
255.255.254.0. This subnet allocates
512 IP addresses to the selected
network. You can modify this subnet
by selecting the default subnet and clicking on [Modify] button.
In cases wherein the network was initially assigned a smaller subnet, you can add another
subnet when the IP address runs out. Click on [Add] button to assign a new subnet to the
selected network. (NOTE: The registrable number of network address and subnet mask
setting is up to 5.)
** For example, network address 10.10.10.0 with subnet mask 255.255.255.192 was initially
assigned to the selected network. This means only 64 address are allocated initially. If the
number of NEs exceeds 62, then a new subnet must be assigned to the network to
allocate new IP addresses on the new NEs.
NOTE: The maximum number of NEs per CPMC network is 416 NEs regardless to whether
more than 416 IP addresses are assigned to the network. (See PNMS Engineering
Manual)
-5-
ROI-S03671
4. The ensuing window, Network Address window, allows you to modify the default subnet by
either changing the Network Address or the Subnet mask that will be used by the selected
network. You can increase or decrease the allocated IP address on the selected network
by modifying the subnet mask and the network address on this window. (Refer to Appendix
A: Subnets to see the available subnets in the managed network.)
In the example shown below, where the network
address 172.18.0.64 with subnet mask
255.255.255.192 was given to the selected
network, NetCfgTool will allocate IP address
172.18.0.65-126 to this network. Note that in this
example 62 IP addresses were assigned and 2
were assigned for network address (172.18.0.64)
and broadcast address (172.18.0.127). Click on
[OK] to apply the new subnet.
When the [Add] button was clicked in step.3, the
ensuing window enables you to define another
subnet that will be added to the existing subnet.
Click on [Add] button to apply the new subnet.
(NOTE: The registrable number of network address
and subnet mask setting is up to 5.)
5. Click on [OK] button to apply the new settings.

Editing Workspace
Adding a New Network Element (NE)
The NetCfgTool supports Pasolink V3, Pasolink V4, Pasolink-S, MIU, Pasolink Mx and Pasolink+
network configurations. Therefore a network element can either be a Pasolink V3, Pasolink V4,
Pasolink S, MIU or Pasolink Mx, Pasolink+. Note that Pasolink-S, Pasolink V3 and Pasolink V4 or
Pasolink Mx and Pasolink+ share the same configuration.
To add a new NE:

1. Click on
menu to add a network element. Select the type of NE that you would like to add from the
pull-down list. Pasolink V3 is selected by default.
2. Click on the location on the current workspace where you want to add the NE.
3. Arrange the newly added hop according to desired position in the workspace. The NEs can
be moved around the workspace by clicking on it and dragging it to the desired location in
the workspace
2.8.2
Adding Back-to-back Line (cable)

To add a back-to-back line (cable):
1. Click on the
icon in the tool bar or click on Edit
Add BB Line from the main menu.
2. Click on one of the NE to be connected. Then click on the other NE to be connected with
back-to-back line (cable) to the previously selected NE. Refer to the example given below.
Example: Connecting Pasolink No.002 with Pasolink No.008
Step 1. Click on
icon. Click on Pasolink No. 002.
Step 2. Click on Pasolink No. 008.

Step 3. Set the line properties.
(Refer to 2.8.10 Setting Line (cable) Properties.)
Note: Multi-drop or branching Line (B-B) cannot be
connected to the output or the NMS signal source -No.001
in this example. PMC NMS port splits only the input signal
but not the output signal. This is a hardware limitation of the
PMC.

ROI-S03671
2.8.3
Back-to-Back Line Color Codes

The NMS back-to-back connection between NEs varies according to the type of NEs connected,
speed, synchronization, the port used and the type of protocol used. To allow the network
designer to differentiate the various types of connection the NetCfgTool uses color-coded lines.
The following lists the color codes used by the NetCfgTool to represent the different back-to-back
connection types.
Black: represents the common RS-485/RS-232C/9600bps/ASYNC multi-drop line between
Pasolink, Line Concentrator, MIU and Pasolink-S NEs.
Red: represents the 64kbps/RS-422/SYNC connections between NE1 and NE1 of
Pasolink Mx/Pasolink+ NEs.
Violet: represents the RS485/19200bps/ASYNC connections NE2 and NE1 of Pasolink
Mx/Pasolink+ NEs or RS485/9600bps/ASYNC connection between Pasolink
V3/PasolinkV4/Pasolink-S/MIU and Pasolink Mx/Pasolink+ NEs or
RS485/19200bps/ASYNC connection between Pasolink Mx/Pasolink+ and Pasolink
V3/PasolinkV4/Pasolink-S/MIU NEs.
Blue: represents the LAN (Ethernet) back-to-back connection between Pasolink
Mx/Pasolink+ NEs.

The name of the PMC button is comprised of two distinct parts: (1) PMC type, (2) PMC Usage.
The PMC type can either be RPMC, CPMC or SCPMC depending on the role of the PMC in the
HLDC polling.
The PMC Usage depends on the order of the PMC in the MIU and the redundancy. The table
below illustrates the PMC usage convention used in the MIU.

For N+1 configuration, the default value of the PMC Usage is
Regular CH. When adding new PMCs the user must change
the PMC usage of the additional PMCs individually in the MIU
properties window.
When changing the PMC Usage a warning message will
appear. (i.e When adding a new PMC on the existing system
the new PMC will be labeled as Additional PMC.)
Line Concentrator
RPMC Additional PMC
The additional PMCs are sequential. When deleting a PMC, the NetCfgTool will delete the last PMC
added first. This means you cannot add an additional PMC without deleting the PMCs below it first.
