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).

NEC’s 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 98/NT/2000/XP based portable PC and connected to SV (marked as LA) port at 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 Customer’s Network size. One is PNMS on Windows NT/2000/XP (supporting up to 500/1,000NEs) and the other is PNMS on UNIX OS (supporting up to 10,000NEs).

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/XP 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)

- 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.

PASOLINK : per 15 minutes data : 7 days per day data : 7 days

- 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) as described in Figure 3.1.

ROI-S04188

1. Basic function of PMC

The PM Card’s (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, the head of CPM Cluster):

• Master function of SCPMs/RPMs under it

• Gateway function between PNMS and SCPMs/RPMs and routing the messages from PNMS to SCPMs/RPMs and back.

• The CPM is a data acquisition and control 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 or LAN interface, and passes messages received from SCPM/RPMs to the PNMS for display.

(2) Sub-Master mode (Sub-Central PMC, SCPM): the head of Subnetwork

• Master function of RPMs under it

• Gateway function between CPM and RPM and routing the messages from CPM to RPM and back.

• SCPM is a 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 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) (32CPMsX13RPMs=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)

ROI-S04188

- 7 -

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.

(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.

5. PNMS COMMUNICATION INTERAFCE The interface condition between PNMS and NEs (CPM,SCPM,RPM) is summarized in Figure 5.1 (Serial interface) and Figure5.2 (LAN interface). The physical interface at PNMS Hardware is RS232C or 10baseT interface. The physical interface at CPM for PNMS connection is Serial (RS-232C/V.11,19.2kbps, Async.) or LAN(10 Base-T). The choice of the physical (Serial or LAN) interface at CPM should be done by the hardware replacement of PM Card. The choice of the serial interface (RS232C or V.11) should be done by the PNMS software.

The physical interface at CPM, SCPM and RPM for back to back connection is RS-232C or RS-485 (9.6kbps, Async.). The choice of the physical interface (RS232C or RS485) at CPM,SCPM and RPM should be done by the PNMS software.

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 Figure7.1.2. 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 PNMS–CPM 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 for this sub-network in this case. 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.

In addition, Operator can set subnetmask in accordance with the number of NE in each sub-network in case the number of NE in a subnetwork is small. The relation between the subnetmask and the number of NE in the subnetwork is described below.

7.2.1 IP Addressing Scheme for PNMS-CPM Subnetwork CPM NMS port and PC PNMS LAN port must be located in the same sub network as shown Figure7.2.2. In this figure, the CPM is connected to PNMS through LAN(10 Base-T) interface. 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), Operator can set subnetmask in accordance with the number of NE in this subnetwork. In case of network example described in Figure 7.4, PNMS uses a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252 because this subnetwork has one CPM (Refer to Table7.1.1)

7.2.2 IP Addressing Scheme for PASOLINK CPM Cluster Refer to section 7.1.2.

For reference assigned IP address and available IP address of each sub-network are shown in following table.

7.3.1 IP Addressing Scheme for Router-CPM Subnetwork CPM NMS port and the Router Serial or LAN port must be located in the same sub network as shown Figure 7.3.2. In this figure, the CPM is connected to the router and must be added to the IP routing table of the subnetwork in the CPM Cluster into 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 7.3.2.

For this Router and CPM sub-network, PNMS uses a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252 (fixed) for serial interface. For LAN interface Operator can set subnetmask in accordance with the number of NE in this network.

7.3.2 IP Addressing Scheme for PASOLINK CPM Cluster Refer to section 7.1.2.

7.4.1 IP Addressing Scheme for PNMS-CPM Subnetwork Refer to section 7.1.1.

7.4.2 IP Addressing Scheme for PASOLINK CPM Cluster PNMS uses a Subnet mask of 255.255.255.240 for subnet-B. Therefore one sub-network in CPM cluster has 16 IP addresses. Each sub network can accommodate 16 IP addresses. Available IP addresses for Remote PM Card (RPM) are 13. 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. As explained section 7.1.2, operator can set subnetmask for each subnetwork. For example, 255.255.255.248 can be assigned for Subnet-C in case there is no additional NE in Subnert-C in the future.

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 7.4.1

Subnet-B : 172.20.101. 0～15 (Assigned IP Address) : 172.20.101. 1～14 (Available IP Address)

Subnet-C : 172.20.101.16～31 (Assigned IP Address) 172.20.101. 17～30 (Available IP Address)

7.6 IP Address Requirement for Customer

During the Network Design phase, following IP address must be required in order for each NEs to connect to the PNMS.

1) PNMS(Router)–CPM sub-network

• IP address for Router Serial port or PNMS (PC or WS) port

• IP address for CPM NMS

2) PASOLINK CPM cluster network

• CPM cluster sub-network Address for each NE

(Two class C sub networks are required for maximum 512 IP addresses)

ROI-S04188

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 customer’s 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 customer’s existing transmission network and IP network.

For example, the interconnected equipments could be:

• Other transport equipments from manufacturers

• Routers such as Cisco

8.1 Connection Availability

Following table is the connection availability between PASOLINK and Other equipment (other manufacture equipment and NEC equipment other than PASOLINK) of RS485 interface.

-

Note.1) Because the method of connecting data signal lines in plural connections in point to multi-point line is not determined, it is not possible to connect equipment from different manufacturers unless connection test between PASOLINK and other equipment is required.

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 required between PASOLINK and other equipment.)

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.

In accordance with customer’s 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 Figure9.11 and Figure 9.12. In such cases the number of the required Router serial ports increases according to the number of CPMs. To reduce CPMs and reduce the number of Router’s serial ports, following solution is proposed.

The concept for reducing CPM is shown Figure 9.13. The CPM function is located at PNMS site. The SV signal from PASOLINK clusters scattered all over the region are concentrated (combined) by mediation device called HYB CONV (Hybrid Converter) at PNMS site. Then the concentrated signal is connected to CPM function. (The detailed function of HYB CONV is described in Section 12.1.)

10. PNMS CONFIGURATION 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 the 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 on- line 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).

-Network configuration data -User security data -Performance monitor data -Logging 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.

ROI-S04188

- 34 -

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 each PM Cards in the network once a day. (Collecting time can be set by Operator.) If PNMS-1 collects performance data of 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.

10.4 Hierarchical PNMS configuration

Central and Regional PNMS can be configured as shown in the Figure 10.2. Regional PNMS monitors and controls PASOLINKs in its region. Central PNMS monitors and controls all PASOLINKs in all regions (up to 10 regions).

Regional PNMS supports up to 500/1,000 NEs (PNMS for Windows) or 1,000 NEs (PNMS for UNIX). Central PNMS supports up to 2,000 NEs (PNMS for Windows) or 10,000 NEs (PNMS for UNIX).

Each NE is monitored and controlled by both Central and Regional PNMS. It means that even if Central PNMS is down, each Regional PNMS can monitor and control NEs in its region.

In a similar way, if a regional PNMS is down, the Central PNMS can monitor and control NEs under the region where the Regional PNMS is down.

Central and Regional PNMS work independently. In case one of them is down following situation occurs for logging data and performance monitor data.

For example, assuming that Central PNMS is in operation and a Regional PNMS is down:

a) Logging data

If alarms occur in the PASOLINK network, the alarm logs are registered in only Central PNMS. However these logs are not registered in Regional PNMS. Even if Regional PNMS is re-started, the logging data is not recorded in the Regional PNMS.

b) Performance monitor data

PNMS collects performance data stored in each NE in the network once a day. Operator can set time to collect and what NE’s to collect. In case Central PNMS collects performance data of NEs in the network when regional PNMS is down, only Central PNMS stores performance data of the day and Regional PNMS does not store them. Even if Regional PNMS is re-started, the performance data is not stored in the Regional PNMS.

Network configuration work The network configuration file for Regional PNMS and each NE is created by Network Configuration tool in Regional PNMS site and imported to Regional PNMS by “Update network configuration window”. Operator should send network configuration file for each Regional PNMS to Central PNMS (for example by E-mail). In Central PNMS, Operator imports each regional PNMS configuration file to Central PNMS by “Update network configuration window” in order to monitor and control all regions.

If network configuration is modified in a region, Operator modifies network configuration file in each Regional PNMS site and import it to Regional PNMS by “Update network configuration window”. The modified network configuration file is sent to Central PNMS, for example by E-mail, and imported to it by “Update network configuration window”.
