developed by NEC for managementof NECs Pasolink radio transmission network. The PNMT is a scaled down version of Pasolink Network Management System (PNMS) that is designed as a maintenance tool for field engineers to locally and remotely monitor alarms, control points, generate repots, and archive data, all within a familiar graphical user interface, and all in real time. The PNMT is a Mobile laptop computer fitted with NEC PNMT software package that interfaces and controls NEC series short haul radio equipment.This Windows-NT/2000/XP based software package remote monitors and controls thestatus and configuration of an entire network with associated equipment as well as the performance of the actual microwave links.1.2Conventions Used in this Manualc ), a cascading menu follows.1FontWhat the Font RepresentsExampleItalicFor manual titles or related document names.Please refer to Pasolink OperationManual for details.HostnameBoldItems on the user interface.

KeycapKeyboard keys.Press Enter key.1. Getting Started1.3PNMT Communication Interfaces1.3.1CommunicationsCommunications between the PNMT and the radio network equipment can be via the LA Port of the Pasolink equipment, via the DSC to a remote PM node in the network.a) LA Port InterfaceOn the Pasolink equipment, the LA Port is mounted on the front of the equipment.The LA Port consists of a D815 connector and connects to PM installed in the IDU via aserial cable to the relevant communications port of the PNMT Computer. The LA Port has the following properties: Port Configuration:Connector type:8it per second rate: Stop bits:Data bit length:Parity:RS-232Subminiature D815 (female)1200/2400/4800/9600/19200 (default 19200)18no parity.

The Windows operating system is employed which is capable of multi-task processing using the Pentium microprocessor. The PNMT software basically consists of two parts, the operating system and the application programs.The operating system-Windows 98 (English Version)-Windows NT Workstation Ver4.0 (English Version) with SP6.0 or higher-Windows 2000 (English Version) with SP3 or higher-Windows XP (English Version) with SP1 or higherThe application programs-IE 5.0 or higher-Acrobat Reader-PNMT software4This chapter explains the menu structure and procedures for operating of the PNMT. Theexplanation uses typical PNMT screens to illustrate the hierarchy of menu.2.1The PNMT ScreenThe PNMT window is comprised of the following main parts (Refer to figure 1). Fordetailed descriptions, refer to the Users Manual for the Windows NT operating system.oTitle barThe title bar of the window is used to indicate the title of the window.Common Menu barThe common menu bar of the window presents the System, Refresh and Helpoptions, illustrates the commands that can be executed from the various options. The Help function also can display the PDF version of this operation manual.oNE-specific Menu barThis menu is a list of tasks that can be performed to the specific network element (NE) displayed in the PNMT. Configuration, Event Log, and Link Performance Monitor functions can be executed in the NE-specific Menu bar.ooBlock DiagramThe block diagram illustrates the equipments of the Pasolink radio system. Its main purpose in the window is to display the current summary alarm state of the equipment. You can click on a specific block to display the status of equipment inthe data window.Data windowThis window displays in detail the status and alarm items of a specific equipment of the NE. You can select the tab or the block of the specific equipment you want to monitor in the data window.oTabsTo view the status and alarms in the Pasolink radio, click on the tab at the bottom of the Data window.oCommand ButtonThe command button is used to enter the data selected on the pop-up window into the computer.oSelectable FieldThe selectable field is a standard Windows input field where the user can scroll down on a list of values available for that option.oLogin UserThis indicates the current user that logged-in in the PNMT.o52 System Operation & MaintenanceTitle 8arBlock DiagramNE-Specific Menu BarCommonMenu 8arCommonTool 8arDataWindowTabsLogin UserFig. 1: Common Parts of a WindowSelectable FieldCommand Button62.2Launching the PNMT ApplicationTo start PNMT:1.Power ON the system.NOTEMake sure that the RS-232C cable is connected between Com 1 of the PNMT PC and the LA Port of the IDU.2.Login to Windows XP/2000/NT/98 Workstation. Please refer toWindows XP/2000/NT/98 Manual.Click on Start -> Programs -> Pnmt -> Pnmt then PNMT system logoappears followed by the Link summary window in the PNMT main window (See figure below)3.4.Initially the PNMT screen is split evenly to display the data from the two NEs in thehop. You can click on the arrow keys on the middle of the screen, to either expand the Selected Network Element data field (left arrow) or the Opposite Network Element (right arrow). Clicking on the block will return the division in to the original setting.72.3LoginUsers are registered by means of login name and password.To protect the network and network management system from unauthorized access or unauthorized modifications, five levels of users are defined with different privileges. The functions are available in the window depending on the users access level. Therefore, some of the functions may or may not be carried out.The highest level or administrator level has full access to the network and network management system and has the ability to create and assign privileges to other users.To login:1.Click on System-> Login/Logout in the Menu bar on main window.2. Enter the User name.3. Enter the valid Password for the specific User.4.
