1. Getting Started
1.1 Introduction The PNMT is a Pasolink Network Management Terminal developed by NEC for management of NECs Pasolink and 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 PASOLINK series short haul radio equipment. This Windows-NT/98 based software package remote monitors and controls the status and configuration of an entire PASOLINK network with associated equipment as well as the performance of the actual microwave links.
