Introduction
The PNMT is a Pasolink Network Management Terminal developed by NEC for management
of 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 the
status and configuration of an entire network with associated equipment as well as the
performance of the actual microwave links.

PNMT Communication Interfaces

Communications
Communications 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 Interface
On the Pasolink equipment, the LA Port is mounted on the front of the equipment.
The LA Port consists of a DB15 connector and connects to PM installed in the IDU via a
serial cable to the relevant communications port of the PNMT Computer.
The LA Port has the following properties:

bandwidth of Port1 and Port2 is equal to or less than the bit rate (Port1+Port2< Bit Rate).
To enable the Port Setting:
There are seven items that can be executed for each port in the Port Setting menu. The
function of each control is as follows.

ROI-S04697
Throughput:
This function selects bandwidth for Port1 and Port2. Sum

of the bandwidth of Port1 and Port2 should be less than or
equal to the bit rate (Port1+Port2<=Bit Rate).
Mode:
This function corresponds to the LAN interface signal

speed and mode. Those choices are applicable only when
Auto Negotiation is in the OFF condition.
Flow CTRL:
This function is used to restrict the quantity of the packet

sent to Switching Hub so as not to cause buffer overflow
that will lead to dropped packets.
Framing: This function is used to frame the signal in G.704
E1 format. This means that signal will be framed in
64Kbps timeslots.
CAS:
Channel Associated Signaling. If set to ON (1), the LAN

signal is multiplexed to the data channel excluding CAS
channel area. This means that there will be a dedicated inband signalling channel. If set to OFF(0), the LAN signal
will be multiplexed to the data signal, including the CAS
channel area. In otherwords, there will be no dedicated
channel for in-band signalling.
CRC:
Cyclic Redundancy Check: The method used to detect the

error of received by adding a CRC-bit to the packet frame.
The CRC-bit is then checked at the receiving side.
Collision:
If the LAN is set in half-duplex mode, collision is normally

reported (as event) to the NMS. Collision is not considered
an alarm so it is just a status report. In case, that the
collision report is not to be forwarded to the NMS, this can
be masked by setting it to Not Report.
NOTE: CAS and CRC are only available if framing is set to ON.
