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.

the highest quality and priority will be selected
EXT OUT Priority Level [for line]: This setting is used by the equipment to decide
which of the line clock signals will be supplied by the EXT OUT port.

In this priority setting , 1 is the highest priority
and 4 is the lowest priority. A CLK source having
a priority set to disable will not be considered for
CLK selection
Equipment Priority Level [Port Usage]: This sets the priority level
SSM Supported [Input Port] [STM Input EXT IN/OUT]: This setting defines to
supports the SSM or not
QL Overwrite: This setting defines whether the quality (QL) value is overwritten
with a fixed value.

Usually, Enabled is set. At the border of the network, Disabled is set when the
SSM value should not be sent to the other network.
Wait to Restore [WTR] Timer: When a selected clock source is cut off, another
available clock source is automatically selected. If the cut off clock that is
restored, a waiting period is required before the equipment judges that the CLK
is indeed restored and may now be re-selected. The wait to restore time
defines the waiting period.
Line Extracted CLK Squelched by MS-AIS: Select yes to squelch the line clock
if MS-AIS is detected in the STM signal where the line clock is extracted.

2.20.5.5 ODU ALM Mode
In cases wherein the ODU losses communication with the IDU due to failure of some
sort, the response of the ODU can be preset using this function. Since the control
function of the TX power is in the IDU, the ODU will be cut-off to this control when a
failure in the communication between the ODU and the IDU occurs. In this case, the
ODU either mutes the TX or Hold the current TX power, depending on the preset ODU
ALM mode.
To set the ODU ALM mode:
1. Click on the [ODU ALM Mode] button in the ATCP status section of the

ROI-S04451
The BER in the Pasolink+ system is monitored in 3 sections - (1) the MUX section,
(2) the DMR section and the (3) Radio section. The Radio section is available 1+1
systems only and is used for switchover function. The figure below illustrates these
sections
The MUX and DMR section BER is measured in terms of Signal Degrade and E-BER.
Signal Degrade is triggered when the BER is worse than the preset threshold (1E-6,
1E-7, etc.). Excessive BER (E-BER) occurs when the BER is worse than the preset
threshold (1E-3, 1E-4, or 1E-5).
The radio section, on the other hand, monitors the BER for switchover purposes. When
the BER becomes worst than the preset value (3E-6,3E-7, etc) of the Low BER (RX
Switch) the RX is switched to the other system in a 1+1 configuration. In a similar
manner, when the BER becomes worse than the preset value (3E-4,3E-5,3E-6) for
High BER, the switched to the other system.
The preset value mentioned above is called the BER Threshold. The BER threshold
can be set in 6 points: (1) Signal Degrade (MUX), (2) E-BER (MUX), (3) Signal
Degrade (DMR), (4) E-BER (MUX), (5) Low BER, and (6) High BER. Low BER and
High BER, however, are only available in 1+1 systems.
The MUX and DMR are classified with B1, B2 and B3 section respectively. There is E-
BER only for B3
