1 Getting Started
1.1 Introduction
The Pasolink Network Management Terminal (PNMT) was developed by NEC to manage its Pasolink
and 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
PASOLINK series short haul wireless communications radio equipment.
This software package remote 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 are
possible
a) LA Port Interface
The LA Port is on the front of the Pasolink unit.(as illustrated below).

Submission Prohibited ROI-S05591
NEC Internal Use Only
The LA Port consists of a DB15 connector that plugs into the PM installed in the IDU via a serial
cable which connects to the relevant communications port of the PNMT Computer.
The LA Port has the following properties:

2 System Operation & Maintenance
This chapter explains the menu structure and procedures for operating the PNMT. The explanation
uses typical PNMT screenshots to illustrate the menu hierarchy.
o Title bar
The title bar of a window is used to indicate the title of the window.
o Block Diagram
The block diagram shows the equipment comprising the Pasolink wireless communication
system. Its main purpose in the window is to display the current summary of the alarm
stateuses of the equipment. You can click on a specific block to display the status of
equipment in the data window.
o Data window
This window displays in detail the status and alarm items for specific equipment of the NE.
You can select the tab or the block of a specific part that you wish to monitor in the data
window.
o Tabs
To view the status and alarms in the Pasolink rwireless system, click on the tab at the
bottom of the Data window.
o Command Button
The command button is used to enter (on the computer) the data specified in the pop-up
window.
o Selectable Field
The selectable field is a standard Windows input field where the user can scroll down a list
of values available for that option.
o Login User
This indicates the user who is currently logged in to the PNMT.

to the allocated channel in TX/RX CH.
NOTE: For ODU Version 2, the RF Band, High/Low
Band, shift Frequency, CH Separation, Sub-Band and

2.18 Link Performance Monitor
The following performance items can be monitored according to G.826 recommendation:
ES: Errored seconds
SES: Severely errored second
UAS: Unavailable Seconds
BBE: Background Block Error
This window displays each performance items value in two kinds of measurement periods, a 15-
minute interval (15 min) and a 24-hour interval (Day). The current (%) value of 15 min and Day in
the left table means the value of counts of ES, SES, UAS and BBE every 15 minutes and per day
(24 hours) as a percentage respectively. Each value is calculated based on the following method.
The background color for each value is the result of the threshold value setting. That is, if a
measurement data value exceeds an alarm occurrence (occur) level, the background color will turn
pink, and will not revert to white until a measurement data value is less than the alarm resolution
(recover) level. The threshold values can be set in the Threshold window. Moreover, all data can
be reset with the [All Data Reset] button. A detailed daily performance data can be seen by
clicking [Detail].

Current (%)
ES, SES, UAS (15 min)
The number (A) of counts for 15 minutes is divided by 900 seconds, which is multiplied by 100
and the result is displayed as a percentage.
A
Value = × 100
900
BBE (Day)
The number (A) of counts through fixed 15 minutes period from 00:00 to 23:45 is divided by total
number of seconds (B) times blocks value where B is 900 seconds * number of 15 minutes blocks.
The value is multiplied with 100 and the result is displayed as a percentage. The value of blocks
depends on the bit rate. Refers to the following table of the relation of blocks value and bit rate.
A
Value = × 100
B × blocks
Note) the maximum B value is 86400(=900*96) seconds.

History 15 min status
The status of each performance items on 15 min of History in table means the existence of
threshold alarm occurrence. The “Alarm” string in field indicates an occurrence of the performance
items exceeding the threshold alarm occur level at least in the 15-minute interval data for the past
seven days. In order to change from “Alarm” to “Normal”, it is required for the past seven days for
each 15-minute interval data not to exceed a threshold alarm resolution (recover) level.

2.18.2 Threshold Setting
To set the threshold values:
1. Click [Threshold (%)]in the Summary Link Performance Monitor window
2. Select the performance item that is to be configured on the table shown above. The G.826
measure becomes available for setting when selected. The arrow buttons on the left-hand
side of the field indicates this.
3. Set the value when the alarm Occur and when the alarm Recover in the appropriate field.
The measure will issue an alarm status when it reaches the alarm occur value or issue an
alarm clear status when it reaches the recover value set in the threshold table.
4. Click [Execute] to activate the new settings.
5. Click [Close] when finished.
The threshold value used in this table is in percentage. The “alarm recover” level must have value
smaller than the “alarm occur” level. In case the threshold value you want to use is in count (as
shown in the below table), please convert it into percentage first according to the explanation in the
preceding chapter.
