2.7 Network Properties: Naming the Individual Networks in a Workspace

Since one workspace can contain a number of networks, the NetCfgToolj 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 Æ
Properties from the main menu
or right click anywhere in the
current Network window to
open the Network Properties
window.
2. Enter the desired name for this
workspace/network in the
Network Name box.
3. Click on [OK] button to save the
new setting.
2.8 Network Properties: Network Address and Subnet Setting

The IP addresses assigned by the NetCfgToolj to selected network depend on the assigned
Network Address and Subnet Mask in the Network Properties window.
To set the subnet of the selected network:
1. Click on Network Æ
Properties from the main
menu or right click anywhere
in the current Network
window to open the Network
Properties window.
2. Click on Subnet category in

the Network Properties
window.
3. By default the NetCfgToolj
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 the [Modify] button.
Where 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: A maximum number of thirty two network addresses and subnet
mask settings is possible)
** 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 addresses are initially allocated. If
the number of NE’s exceeds 62, a new subnet must be assigned to the network to allocate
new IP addresses for the new NE’s
- 8-
ROI-S07012
NOTE: *The maximum number of NE’s per CPMC network is 416 NE’s regardless to whether
more than 416 IP addresses are assigned to the network.
* The maximum number of NE’s per Root NE network is 500.
This number is calculated by following formula.
Maximum number of NE’s per Root NE network
=[Maximum number of subnet per Root NE network] X [Maximum number of
NE’s per subnet]
The ensuing window, Network Address window, allows you to modify the default subnet by
either changing the Network Address or the Subnet mask to 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 in this window. (Refer to
Appendix B: Subnets to see the available subnets in the managed network.)
In the example shown below, where the network
address is 172.18.0.64 with subnet mask
255.255.255.192 given to the selected network,
NetCfgToolj will allocate the IP address
172.18.0.65-126 to this network. Note that in this
example 62 IP addresses were assigned. Another
as the network address (172.18.0.64) and
another as the broadcast address (172.18.0.127). Click on [OK] to save 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 save the new subnet.
(NOTE: The maximum number of network
addresses and subnet mask settings that can be
registered is 5.)
NOTE: Since IP addresses from 172.17.240.0 thru 172.17.255.255 are internally reserved
IP Addresses, those can not be assigned to any network as its Network Address.
4.Click on [OK] button to save the new settings.

NOTE: Network sizing rule
Maximum number of NE 5000NEs

Maximum number of CPMC/Root NE 500ea

3 Multiple CPMC Workspace

In normal operation PNMS can manage more than one CPMC cluster. This section describes the
multiple-CPMC configuration procedure for the PNMS.
By default, the NetCfgToolj opens one workspace during startup. Each workspace represents
one network and each network in turn represents one CPMC cluster or group. The default
workspace is displayed as Network – 1 in the NetCfgToolj window.
To add another CPMC cluster or group
1. Click on Network Æ New. This will open a new workspace in the NetCfgToolj. Note that
each of the newly created workspaces has an asterisk (“*”) appended to its network name,
for example, Network-1*, Network-2*, etc. the asterisk will disappear once Create
Configuration is executed for this network.
2. Add new workspaces as necessary.

Appendix A: MIU Settings

To view the NE Properties for the individual MIU you have to double click on the CPMC folder of
the MIU Property Tree. This appendix will explain the naming conventions used in the PMC
setting catalogue shown below.
(2)
(1)
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.
Total PMC Redundant System PMC Type/PMC Usage

Total PMC = 1 1+0/1+1 RPMC Normal
(Line concentrator/other CPMC Normal
equipment with no redundancy).
SCPMC Normal
N+1 RPMC Protection CH
CPMC Protection CH
SCPMC Protection CH
Line Concentrator/ RPMC Normal
Other Equipment CPMC Normal
SCPMC Normal
Total PMC >= 2 1+0/1+1 RPMC Additional PMC
N+1 RPMC Regular CH
For N+1 configuration, the default value of the PMC Usage is
Regular CH. When adding new PMC’s the user must
individually alter the PMC usage for any additional PMC’s
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 should be labeled: Additional PMC.)
Line Concentrator RPMC Additional PMC
The additional PMC’s are in a fixed sequence. When deleting a PMC, the NetCfgToolj will first delete
the last PMC to have been added. This means you cannot add an additional PMC without deleting the
PMC’s below it first.

Appendix C: Configuration of Dual Master MIU

At MIU (Line Concentrator) two ports, NMS port and DPU port are available. By default
NetCfgToolj assigns NMS port for the line connection, when the Back-to-Back (BB) line is added.
Please use the Line Properties dialog box to change the port selection. Note that in the dual
master configuration, only 1 port can be assigned to NMS and 1 other port needs to be assigned
to DPU. Otherwise, errors may occur when you run Create Configuration.
Configuration of dual master MIU is described (as illustrated in the example):
DPU NMS
1. As illustrated in the figure below, place all the

NE symbols in the workspace first, connect
them with MIU using BB line.
2. As shown in the figure above the

connections from No.002 and No.007
to No.001 are both assigned to NMS
port. You need to use the Line
Properties dialog box to convert one of
the NMS ports into a DPU port as
illustrated in the figure below.
3. After the line properties are modified, MIU

(No.001) will be assigned with 1 NMS port
and 1 DPU port. Configuring (Create

the PNMS, and are followed by PasolinkV3/PasolinkV4/Paso-S/MIU.
1. Otherwise errors may occur during configuring (Create Configuration) due to the ASYNC
(19.2kbps) IC limitation of the Pasolink Mx/Pasolink+.
As illustrated in the example below, No.007 (Pasolink+) is connected to No.009 (Pasolink

V3). No.009 becomes CPM, and its connection with No.007 (Pasolink+) is assigned to use
PPP Protocol (19.2 kbps); however, the Pasolink+, No.005 and No.007 connection uses
HDLC Protocol (19.2 kbps). As a result, in the No.007, a ASYNC (19.2kbps) IC is required
to serve two different protocols, which is not possible.
Instead, SYNC (64kbps) IC is used for the connection.

- 183 -
ROI-S07012
3. In the above example, please confirm that both MIU’s do not have the same “NMS Port”
setting, by opening the “Port” category in “NE Properties”. If they are set to the same mode
please reset the “NMS Port” mode for the CPM by selecting the “Manual” mode in the
“Mode Auto Assign” setting from the “Port” category in “NE Properties”, so that the “NMS
Ports” of both MIUs can communicate by connecting them with a straight cable.
Note: When a 2 system (NE) type MIU is used in the above configuration, please be sure that
the “Connect Port” setting for both NEs is “NMS” and that the “Mode” setting of one “NMS
Port” is “RS485_TX” and the other is “RS485_RX” or vice versa. If the same mode is set
to both NMS Ports, the NMS Ports cannot communicate, because the NMS Ports for
both NEs are internally connected by straight cable.

When Pasolink NEO is connected with PNMS, it is not possible to have a network configuration
where NE are connected via the “EM1” port to others (e.g. Pasolink NEO or Pasolink+).
No.001
1. Otherwise, (due to the Pasolink NEO connecting port “EM1” connecting port:
being used) the Create Configuration feature cannot EM1
function properly.
As can be seen from the example below, No.001
(Pasolink NEO) being connected to PNMS would be the
Root NE, and also No.001 being connected to No.003
(Pasolink NEO) via its EM1 port. This would require that
No.001which be connected to PNMS and No.003 via one
and the same port (“EM1”), which is technically impossible.
Therefore, it would be necessary to use a different
connecting port (“EM2”).
2. Use the Line Properties dialog box to change the port via which No.001 is connected with
No.003. Please change the port of No.001 from (“EM1") to ("EM2").

(5) Rewire the actual connections for each respective actual NE wherever Async cable is
replaced by LAN cable in Tools-Create Configuration of NetConfigToolj.
In the following examples, when changing NEs to Bridge NE mode, the back-to-back
connecting cables between the NEs in the red circle (No.003, No.005, and No.007) are
automatically changed from Async to LAN cable and the connecting port is changed
from NE1/NE2 to LAN.
Proceed to the respective NE locations and change the connecting line from Async to
LAN cable and the connecting port to LAN.
Note: Since the LAN port only has one outlet, a repeater hub should be used for
Back-to-Back connection to two or more NEs.
Since, the Sync cable can be used as is, there is no need to change to LAN cable.

(2) Rewire the actual connections for each respective actual NE wherever Sync cable is
replaced by LAN cable in Tools-Create Configuration of NetConfigToolj.
In the following examples, when changing NEs to NEO, the back-to-back connecting
cables between the NEs in the red circle (No.002 and No.003) are automatically
changed from Sync to LAN cable and the connecting port is changed from NE1 to EM1
(NMS) / EM2 (NE).
Proceed to the respective NE locations and change the connecting line from Sync to
LAN cable and the connecting port to EM1 (NMS) / EM2 (NE).

Appendix L: Restrictions and limitations of PASOLINK NEO NODAL

1. Interconnecting IDUs
- All IDU fixed line interconnections must be EM2 (NE) to EM 1 (NMS).

For instance, in a four IDU configuration, EM1 and EM2 are used for NEO NODAL
Group Interconnections and are thus not available; but, EM1 of the top IDU and EM2 of the
bottom (end) IDU are available to be used.
available
This red line is only for illustration purposes.

(it does not actually appear on the screen)
available
The following example shows intermediate IDU #3 when it is E1-Tributary Only.

E1-Tributary Only IDU does not have Port as Radio. Moreover, no Port is available to
be used, since, both EM1 and EM2 are already in use. Therefore, there is no Port
configuration for IDU3.
In this example, IDU#3and IDU#4 are

2. Connecting PNMS Line to NODAL Group
- The PNMS Line can only be connected to IDU#1for the Create Configuration tool to
function properly (in-feed only possible via top IDU).
3. Ring configuration is not permitted
- The following ring configuration is not permitted.
