GENERAL CONCEPTS
This chapter aims to familiarize you with the PNMS concepts. This chapter includes a brief
introduction of PNMS and on how to navigate its map levels. By the end of the chapter you must be
able to go around the PNMS maps and understand how the PNMS works.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is widely used in this chapter. SNMP is used by the
PNMS to manage the Pasolink radio network. The manual assumes that the reader is already familiar
with the protocol and therefore does not discuss it detail.
2.1
About PNMS
NEC Pasolink Network Management System provides easy-to-use monitoring, control,
configuration and management of NEC Pasolink radio networks. You can use PNMS to do the
following:
2.2
Monitor Pasolink radio equipment status.
Control and Configure Pasolink radio equipment.
Collect Link Performance data.
Build or Create Pasolink radio networks.
Definitions and Concepts

This section provides an overview of key concepts that will help you understand how PNMS works.
It includes brief descriptions of Pasolink radio network model, and definitions of symbols, maps and
sub-maps.
2.2.1
PNMS Manager and Agents

PNMS uses the SNMP model to manage the Pasolink radio networks.
The SNMP manager in the system is the PNMS workstation fitted with HP-OpenView NNM
and PNMS application software. It executes management operations which control and monitor
the agent systems.
The SNMP agents in the PNMS are the Pasolink Management Cards (PMC) fitted in each
Pasolink IDU. The PMCs contain application software that is capable of network management
operations requested by the PNMS. There are different types of PMC configuration according to
its role in the Pasolink radio network. This will be discussed in the next section.
The figure shown in the next page illustrates how the PNMS communicates with the Pasolink radio
in the network. Each Pasolink IDU is fitted with a PMC loaded with a configuration according to its
role in the network. The Pasolink IDU that is connected directly to the PNMS workstation (WS) is
loaded with Central PMC configuration and therefore is called the CPMC. All the communications
to and from the subordinate PMCs connected to the CPMC chain goes through the CPMC. The
CPMC then passes this information to the PNMS WS. The CPMC acts as a concentrator of the data
from the NEs under it.
The PNMS WS manages and communicates with the PMC through an IP network (WAN or LAN).

(SNMP Manager)
Pasolink PMC Types

There are three types of Pasolink PMCs. Each control contains a single CPMC and subordinate
SCPMCs and RPMCs.
Central PMC (CPMC)
A Central PMC (CPMC) Pasolink has a Pasolink Management Card (PMC) in its IDU configured to
communicate directly to the PNMS WS and to poll the subordinate SCPMC and RPMC connected in
its chain
Each control (or chain) has one Central PMC (CPMC) that is directly connected to the PNMS in a
central topology, and directly connected to the central PNMS and a regional PNMS in a distributed
topology. The CPMC polls and collects alarm and status information from every SCPMC and
RPMC in the chain.
Each PMC has at least one IP address assigned to it. When a CPMC serves as a dual master (this is
discussed in Chapter 5: Network Configuration), it belongs to two sub-networks and therefore
assigned with two IP addresses.
SUB-Central PMC (SCPMC)
A Sub-Central PMC (SCPM) operates as a slave to the master CPMC. The SCPMC helps to
distribute the traffic by polling all the RPMCs in its sub-network.
An SCPMC always has two IP addresses since a SCPMC is a slave to the master CPMC or to its
parent SCPMC, and is also a master of its own sub-network.
Remote PMC (RPMC)
A Remote PMC (RPMC) does not poll any other Pasolink NE --- it only responds to polls from a
CPMC or an SCPMC. A RPMC collects its own alarm and status information that it sends to its
master when polled. A RPMC always a single IP address assigned to it.

2.3
Map Levels
There are four levels of PNMS map views. These four levels are:
Root Level map
Region Level map
Control Level map
and Radio Level map
Root Level Map
Upon opening the PNMS application the Root-Level map is displayed. It is the highest level map in
the PNMS. The Root-Level map is shown in the figure below.
The Root-Level map includes two icons --- an Internet icon and a Pasolink Internet icon.
The Pasolink Internet icon is the root symbol of the Pasolink network. Since it is linked to all the
regions, ergo network elements (NE), it displays the most severe alarm level in the network.
If you double-click on the Pasolink Internet icon, the Region-Level map is displayed.
The Internet icon is a default icon in HP OpenView and is not part of Pasolink network
management system. It is out of the context of this manual.
2-3
ROI-S04917
Region-Level Map
The Region-Level map includes an icon for each region. A central topology shall include a single
icon, while a distributed topology shall include an icon for each region.
A Pasolink network can have a central or a distributed topology.

Each regional icon is linked to the CPMC chains in its region. Moreover, it displays the most critical
alarm in its region.
You can double-click on a specific regional icon to see the CPMC clusters or controls associated to
the target region.
2-4
ROI-S04917
Control Level Map
A region is comprised of multiple controls where each control is a chain of Pasolink radio. A single
region can have a maximum of 32 controls (chains).
The control level map has an icon for each control in a chain of Pasolink radio. As you shall
discover later, there are two types of Pasolink PMC that can monitor and control other,
non-controlling Pasolink PMC.
Each icon at this level represents a CPMC. A CPMC can monitor and control SCPMC and RPMC.
It is important to understand at this juncture is that each control icon represents a single CPMC and
an unbroken chain of linked SCPMC and RPMC that the CPMC can monitor and control.
2-5
ROI-S04917
Radio Level Map
The radio level map has an icon for each Pasolink radio in the chain of Pasolink radio that is under
the control of a single CPMC.
The figure below shows a single CPMC icon and one (1) RPMCs. The uppercase C on the bottom
left of the icon marks the CPMC of the chain. If a Sub-Central PMC (SCPMC) is available in the
radio level map, an uppercase S on the bottom left of the icon marks it. If the icon is unmarked, it
represents an RPMC.
The icons on this map do not have any child window. Hence the double-click function of the mouse
does not work in this map. To view the link summary of selected hops, you must select the target
Pasolink icon and use the right most button of your mouse to display the context menu. Then select
Pasolink Link Summary.
The color of the icon represents the severity of the summary alarm on the Pasolink NE it represents.

2.4
Establishing your Home Map and Adding Background Map

You can specify a specific map, at any of the four levels, to be your home map. When you start HP
OpenView (PNMS application) the system shall immediately display your home map. You may
wish to start at a region or at a specific control. Perform the following steps to establish a home map
and to additionally select a map background.
1. Go to the specific map at any of the four levels (root, region, control, and radio) that you want to
designate as your home map.
2. Select Map: Submap Set this Submap as Home.
3. Select Map: Submap Properties. You will view the Submap Properties window.

ROI-S04917
2.6
Logging Out of PNMS

After carrying out the control functions, it is recommended to logout of the PNMS to ensure that no
unauthorized access to the PNMS will take place.
To logout from the PNMS:
1. Select PNMS System User Monitor from any of the PNMS maps.
2. Click on [Logout] button. Note that Logout button is only available if a user is currently logged
in in the PNMS.
3.
Click on [OK] button to confirm logging out the current user.
4. Verify that the User Monitor windows Login User box is empty.
2.7
Summary
Lets summarize the three basic concepts needed to use your PNMS.
Pasolink PMC Types There are three types of Pasolink NEs: CPMC, SCPMC and RPMC.
Map Levels There are four map levels: root, region, control and radio.
Map and Submap properties you can set your home map and add background graphics by
setting its properties.

Usage Tab
The Usage tab allows you to inhibit alarms. When Not

Used is selected, in the channel, the PMC will not send
alarm to the PNMS for any input alarms on that specific
channel. The signal on that channel, however, is not
affected by the Usage function. This means that when a
signal is injected on the channel that has its alarm
inhibited, it will have no effect on its operation, as far as
the traffic is concerned. Usage is only to prevent the
alarms from that channel from being sent to the PNMS.

You use the Threshold window to define two
thresholds for each of the four G.826 error
latest measures. The first threshold is
Occur. When the error measure breaches
the threshold, the affected measures will
have a yellow background in the Link
Performance Monitor window. (Note: The background color here is applied with the color of
minor severity level. By default it is yellow.) The second threshold is Recover. The yellow
background will remain until the Recover threshold is passed. For example, if you set the ES
Latest 15 min Occur threshold ratio to 0.05%, then the yellow alarm background will appear
when that measure reaches 0.05%. If you set the ES Alarm Recovery threshold ratio to 0.04%,
then the yellow alarm background will remain until the measure falls below 0.04%.
There are four error measures, for 15-minutes and for a day, and there are two alarm thresholds.
Thus, there are 16 (4 x 2 x 2) thresholds that you must define.
Perform the following steps to define a threshold.
1. The four error measures are ES, SES, UAS and BBE as displayed.
2. Use the radio buttons to select the time interval --- 15 minutes or one day.

Link Performance History

The Link Performance History feature provides a chart of up to four industry-standard error
measurements for a Pasolink NE over a user-specified time period.
The four error measures are defined in the ITU-T Recommendation G.826 of February, 1999. The
four measures are:
ES Errored Second
SES Severely Errored Second
UAS Unavailable Second
BBE Background Block Error.
To set the PNMS WS to collect the Link Performance History data for a target Pasolink NE, verify
that the following have been properly set:
The date and time of CMPC of the target Pasolink NE is synchronized with the PNMS WS (See
3.11 Date/Time Setting.)
The Data Collection Time is set. (See 7.2 Set the Data Collection time)
The target Pasolink NE is set for Link Performance Data Collection. (See 4.9.2 Performance
Monitor tab.)
There are 3 forms of Link Performance History viewer:
Chart the data is displayed in a chart form - the G.826 measures (%) versus the time.
Report the data is displayed in a table showing the date/time and the G.826 measures.
Ratio the data for ES, SES, and BBE is shown in ratio throughout the selected dates.

Performance History window will appear.
To create the chart:

1. Select the type of data --- 15-minute or Daily. The 15-minute option provides 96 data points for each
day. The daily option provides a single data point for a day.
2. Select the time period. A day is from midnight to midnight. The maximum allowable time period is
one month. The PNMS program, given the data type and the time period, will determine the
granularity of the axes in the resulting chart. For the worst-case scenario, if you select 15-minute as
your data type and one-month as your time interval, the PNMS program must present 2,880 (96 x 30)
data points. That defies legibility in a single window, so the PNMS program must reduce the
granularity and quantity of data points. When you define your data type and time period selections,
think about granularity and legibility.

PNMS Network Configuration Rules

In order to start managing, monitoring or controlling the Pasolink NEs in your radio network, you
must first configure the PNMS. In this chapter, you will be oriented to the concepts you need to
understand in order to configure the network for your PNMS.
All network configuration tasks for the PNMS is done using NECs NetConfig Tool. NetConfig
Tool is window-based software application that generates PMC configuration files and PNMS
network files. It is bundled with the PNMS software and runs on Windows 98/NT/2000. (See
NetConfig Tool Operation Manual for detailed operation procedures.
There are four (4) primary concepts that you need to understand before you can configure your
Pasolink radio network.. These four concepts are:
Pasolink Network Configurations
NetConfig Tool
Importing network configuration.
Managing NEs.
Please refer to PNMS Engineering Manual for a detailed information in building Pasolink radio
networks.
5.1
Pasolink Network Configurations

There are three types of Pasolink network configurations (or chains).
Pasolink radio always comes in pairs or in one hop. The pairs are connected by radio frequency. A
dashed line always represents this connection. A pair of Pasolink NEs is connected to another pair
of Pasolinks by a back-to-back (B-B) connection. A solid line always represents this connection.
A chain, under a single control (CPMC) is just that --- every pair of Pasolink hops must be connected
to allow every member of the chain to be polled by the single CPMC and the appropriate SCPMCs.
As you will find out later, PNMS allows you to manually designate which Pasolink are SCPMC, or
to have PNMS automatically designate which Pasolink are SCPMCs based on internal algorithms.
A Pasolink is also referred to as a Network Element (NE). For the remainder of this discussion,
NE shall be interchangeable with Pasolink.
A single control (or configuration or chain) can have a maximum of 416 network elements.
5.1.1
IP Address Scheme
The PNMS program applies an algorithm to assign IP addresses to the Pasolink NEs. The algorithm
starts with the base IP address and maximum number of subnets that you entered when you added
the control. For example, assume you entered 172.24.6.0 and 32. IP addresses from
172.24.6.0 to 172.24.7.255 are assigned for NEs on this control.
Every control has only one CPMC. The algorithm assigns the first subnet including CPMC (in our
example) IP addresses from 172.24.6.0 to 172.24.6.15. IP address of CPMC is 172.24.6.1. IP
addresses 172.24.6.0 and 172.24.6.15 are not used for NEs because these IP addresses are used
for broadcast address. So in CPMC sub-network, only 14 IP addresses are actually assigned to the
NEs.

ROI-S04917
The second sub-network will be polled by a SCPMC. IP addresses of the second subnet are from
172.24.6.16 to 172.24.6.31. (IP addresses 172.24.6.16 and 172.24.6.31 are not used for
NEs) That SCPMC will have an IP address of 172.24.6.17.
The third sub-network shall be controlled by an SCPMC with an IP address of 172.24.6.33.
The following table illustrates the algorithms IP-addressing methodology. The control base address
for this example is 172.28.6.0.

That is the reason for the base address to have a rightmost octet value that is a multiple of 16 --- so
the CPM Pasolink DMR can have an IP address with a rightmost octet value that is a multiple of 16,
plus 1.
There is one major caveat, as you probably noticed when you read the table. Using this algorithm, it
appears that every Pasolink NE in the control will have an IP address such that the second octet from
the right will have a value of 6. However, a single control can have a single CPM Pasolink DMR
and a maximum of 417 other Pasolink NEs. An IP address octet can range from 0 to 255. If you can
have 417 network elements, then the rightmost octet cannot accommodate that quantity. When the
algorithm reaches the sixteenth sub-network, it finds that it cannot build a full seventeenth
sub-network. So the algorithm rolls over the value in the second octet from the right (6) to the next
integer (7), and then starts all over with 1 as the value for the rightmost octet for the SCPMC in the
seventeenth network. In the example, the last available IP address for the sixteenth sub-network is
172.28.6.254, and the IP address for the SCPMC in the seventeenth sub-network is 172.28.7.1.
NOTE: The PNMS network configuration tool uses classless IP (255.255.255.240). In other words
any class of IP address can be assigned on the Pasolink radio network subnet. One CPMC cluster
will require two (2) classless subnets. The assignment of the IP addresses in the Pasolink network is
done automatically by the PNMS using an internal algorithm based on the scheme described above.

5.1.2
Simple-Chain Configuration
A simple-chain configuration has a single CPMC and a maximum of 416 subordinate NE,s, either
SCPMC or RPMC. There can be a maximum of 31 SCPMC in the chain.
A simple-chain configuration has no branches. You can manually designate SCPMC or let PNMS
automatically designate SCPMC in order to balance the traffic load.
The following figure illustrates a simple-chain configuration.
The upper case C indicates the CPMC. Recall that a control (chain) can have only one CPMC and
it is the master controller. The upper case S indicates an SCPMC and it is a slave controller. The
10 remaining NEs are RPMCs and they have no identifying letter.
In this example, the user either manually designated the SCPM C to control 10 RPMCs, or the user
allowed the PNMS to automatically designate the SCPMC. By default the PNMS is configured to
use 10 as the upper limit for NEs to be controlled by a single CPMC or SCPMC.
The communication is unidirectional from the single CPMC. However, the PNMS automatic
algorithm counts RPMCs from the end of the communication chain in order to designate a SCPMC.
Thus in this example, the 10 RPM Cs that are the greatest distance from the CPM C are controlled by
the designated SCPM C.
Each NE has a name that starts with the string Paso14. That is the number that the user defined to
identify the control. The numbering is sequential, starting with the CPMC and moving in the
direction of the communication. Lets assume for this example that the user defined the base IP
address as 172.14.12.0.
The IP addressing scheme reflects the naming scheme --- it starts at the single CPMC and moves in
the direction of the communication (away from the CPMC).
Thus Paso14-1, the single CPMC that is the controller of the first sub-network, has an IP address
of 172.14.12.1.
Paso14-2 is an SCPMC. It is a slave to the master and it is also a master in another sub-network. It
has two IP addresses. As a slave to the CPM C, it has an IP address of 172.14.12.2. As a controller
of the second sub-network, it has an IP address of 172.14.12.17. (Refer to the previous table.)
5-3
ROI-S04917
Paso14-3 is an RPMC. It does not control any other NEs. Its master is Paso 14-2, the SCPMC.
Paso14-3 has an IP address of 172.14.12.18.
To complete the example, Paso14-12 has an IP address of 172.14.12.27. It is the eleventh network
element in the second sub-network.
Lets summarize a simple-chain configuration.
A simple-chain configuration has a single master CPM C with a single IP address of
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1, where aaa, bbb, and ccc are the user-defined network number, and
ddd is user-defined and one more than the base IP address. Additionally, ddd is a multiple of 16.
A simple-chain configuration has up to 31 SCPMCs. Each has two IP addresses, one as a slave to its
parent sub-network and one as the master of its own sub-network. The slave IP address is
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, where ddd reflects the SCPM Cs ordered position in the sub-network. The
master IP address is aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1, where ddd is a multiple of 16.
Finally, each RPM C has an IP address of aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, where ddd is the RPM Cs ordered
position in its sub-network.
5.1.3
Multi-Drop Configuration
A multi-drop configuration has a single CPMC and a maximum of 416 subordinate NEs, either
SCPMC or RPMCs. There can be a maximum of 31 SCPMC in the chain.
A multi-drop configuration allows branches. You can manually designate SCPMC in order to
balance the traffic load or let PNMS automatically designate SCPMC according to its internal
algorithm.
The following figure illustrates a multi-drop configuration.
5-4
ROI-S04917
The example has a single branch. The branch is from Paso18-3 to Paso18-9. Note that the
branch connects to the line (B-B) side of Paso18-3. This is called the NMS port, while the
radio-connected side is called the DPU port. A branch must always drop from the NMS side of the
NE. Another rule that must be remembered in adding branches in multidrop network is that it must
always connect from the input of the NMS port. That means that the line (B-B) for branches must be
added on the NE that receives its polling from the NMS port not from the DPU port. This rule is
established since the NMS port can split the signal from the input only. The figure below
illustrates this rule:
OK!
Line (B-B) Connection Rule: Allowed

C
Line (B-B) Connection Rule: Not Allowed
In this example, the user either manually designated the SCPMC or the user allowed the PNMS to
automatically designate the SCPMC. The automatic algorithm selects the longest branch (the
example only has one) and counts in from the far end of the branch (away from the CPMC). The
PNMS is configured to use 10 as the upper limit for RPMCs to be controlled by a single SCPMC and
the longest branch had more than 10 network elements, then the algorithm would designate the
eleventh NE in the longest branch as an SCPMC. If there were multiple branches, the PNMS
algorithm would repeat the process and combine branches in the count if the branches have less than
10 NEs each.
Each NE has a name that starts with the string Paso18. That is the number that the user defined to
identify the control. The numbering is sequential, starting with the CPM C and moving in the
address as 172.18.24.32.
The IP addressing scheme reflects the naming scheme --- it starts at the single CPM C and moves in
the direction of the communication (away from the CPM C).
Thus Paso181, the single CPM C in the configuration, has an IP address of 172.18.24.33.
Paso182, an RPM C, has an IP address of 172.18.24.34.
Paso189 is an SCPM C. It is a slave to the master and it is also a master in another sub-network. It
has two IP addresses. As a slave to the CPM C, it has an IP address of 172.18.24.41. Note that it
is the ninth network element in the sub-network. As a controller of its own sub-network, it has an IP
address of 172.18.1.49. (Refer to the previous table.)
Lets summarize a multi-drop configuration.
A multi-drop configuration has a single master CPM C with a single IP address of
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1, where aaa, bbb, and ccc is the user-defined network number, and ddd
is user-defined and one more than the base IP address. Additionally, ddd is a multiple of 16.

A multi-drop configuration has up to 32 SCPM Cs. Each has two IP addresses, one as a slave to its
parent sub-network and one as the master in its own sub-network. The slave IP address is
Finally, each RPM C has an IP address of aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, where ddd is the RPM Cs ordered
5.1.4
Dual-Master Configuration
A dual-master configuration has a single CPMC and a maximum of 416 subordinate NEs, either
SCPMC or RPMCs. There can be a maximum of 30 SCPMC in the chain.
A dual-master configuration allows the single CPMC to serve as the master of two chains
simultaneously.
The following figure illustrates a dual-master configuration.
The example has two chains. Both chains are controlled by the single CPMC, Paso15-1. The
uppercase C indicates the CPMC. Paso15-1 has two PMCs and thus two IP addresses. The
remaining NEs are RPMCs and they have no identifying letter.
Each C has a name that starts with the string Paso15. That is the number that the user defined to
identify the control. The numbering is sequential, starting with the CPMC and moving in the
address as 172.15.27.0.
Paso15-1, the single CPM C in the configuration, has two IP addresses since it controls two
sub-networks. The two IP addresses are 172.15.27.1 and 172.15.27.17. The former is the IP
address for the controller of the first sub-network. The IP address is the user-defined base IP address
with the rightmost octet value incremented by one. The latter is the IP address for the controller in
the second sub-network.
Paso15-2, an RPMC, has an IP address of 172.15.27.2. This indicates that it is the second
network element in the first sub-network.
5-6
ROI-S04917
Paso15-7, an RPMC, has an IP address of 172.15.27.18. This indicates that it is the second
network element in the second sub-network.
Thus Paso15-1, the single CPM C with dual PMCs, serves as the master controller for both chains.
Lets summarize a dual-master configuration.
A dual-master configuration has a single master CPM C with two IP addresses. The first IP address,
as the controller of the first sub-network, is aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1, where aaa, bbb, and ccc are
the user-defined network number and ddd is user-defined and one more than that of the base IP
address. Additionally, ddd is a multiple of 16. The second IP address, as the controller of the
sub-network, is aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1, where ddd is a multiple of 16.
A dual-master configuration has up to 30 SCPM Cs. Each has two IP addresses, one as a slave to its
parent sub-network and one as the master in its own sub-network. The slave IP address is
Finally, each RPMC has an IP address of aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, where ddd is the RPMCs ordered

User Configuration
The Pasolink Network Management System (PNMS) main window includes a hierarchical
multi-leveled menu structure. PNMS also includes several context (pop-up) menus that a user
invokes by clicking the rightmost mouse button on an icon. Some of these menu selections are
available to every user while other menu selections are restricted to specific groups of users.
The restricted menu selections are uniquely distributed across functions (or privileges). An
individual restricted menu selection is associated with a single function, but multiple restricted menu
selections can be associated with the same function. For example, the Manage NE and
Unmanage NE restricted menu selections are associated only with Function # 1. They are not
associated with any other function. Thus, the two restricted menu selections are only associated with
Function #1 and are joined together as a package.
PNMS allows you to first define a group of users and associate a set of functions (privileges) with
that group of users. After you define a group of users, you then assign an individual user to a group.
A user can only belong to one group. Thus, the users privileges are a direct result of the user
belonging to that group.
Note!!!
Removing and modifying users/groups is allowed to the specific user.
But, you must remove the users first before removing the group.
By default, PNMS has a group named group0 with a single user named admin. This group is
granted all of the functions. This group and its single user (the PNMS administrator) cannot be
changed or deleted. PNMS does not allow another group to have all functions.
The matrix that correlates the functions to the restricted menu selections in the PNMS menu

Automatic Date/Time Setting

The PNMS application automatically sets the Date/Time of the PMC from the PNMS workstation on
a daily basis. The PMC's are synchronized on the UNIX workstation's date and time.
NOTE: Recommend for specific operator only.
To set the time of synchronization of the PMC's date/time:
1. Go to the configuration directory of PNMS by issuing the following command on the terminal
window:
# cd /opt/PNMS/conf
2. Open the file collect_config.conf and edit the file using vi or text editor.
# vi manage_config.conf
3. Locate the line NEDateTime=03:15 on the file.
#Set NE Date Time
#Please do not specify the following time
# XX:00, XX:15, XX:30, XX:45
NEDateTime=00:35
NOTE: The default data collection time is set at 00:35 daily. The format for this variable is HH:MM,
where HH is the hour represented in 24-hour format. And MM the minute when the PNMS will
synchronize the date/time on the PMCs.
