2. GENERAL CONCEPTS This chapter aims to familiarize you with the PNMS concepts. This chapter includes a brief introduction of PNMS and on how to navigate its map levels. By the end of the chapter you must be able to go around the PNMS maps and understand how the PNMS works.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is widely used in this chapter. SNMP is used by the PNMS to manage the Pasolink radio network. The manual assumes that the reader is already familiar with the protocol and therefore does not discuss it detail.

2.1 About PNMS

NEC Pasolink Network Management System provides easy-to-use monitoring, control, configuration and management of NEC Pasolink radio networks. You can use PNMS to do the following:

Monitor Pasolink radio equipment status.

Control and Configure Pasolink radio equipment.

Collect Link Performance data.

Build or Create Pasolink radio networks.

2.2 Definitions and Concepts

This section provides an overview of key concepts that will help you understand how PNMS works. It includes brief descriptions of Pasolink radio network model, and definitions of symbols, maps and sub-maps.

2.2.1 PNMS Manager and Agents

PNMS uses the SNMP model to manage the Pasolink radio networks.

The SNMP manager in the system is the PNMS workstation fitted with HP-OpenView™ NNM and PNMS application software. It executes management operations which control and monitor the agent systems.

The SNMP agents in the PNMS are the Pasolink Management Cards (PMC) fitted in each Pasolink IDU. The PMC’s contain application software that is capable of network management operations requested by the PNMS. There are different types of PMC configuration according to its role in the Pasolink radio network. This will be discussed in the next section.

The figure shown in the next page illustrates how the PNMS communicates with the Pasolink radio in the network. Each Pasolink IDU is fitted with a PMC loaded with a configuration according to its role in the network. The Pasolink IDU that is connected directly to the PNMS workstation (WS) is loaded with Central PMC configuration and therefore is called the CPMC. All the communications to and from the subordinate PMC’s connected to the CPMC chain goes through the CPMC. The CPMC then passes this information to the PNMS WS. The CPMC acts as a concentrator of the data from the NE’s under it.

The PNMS WS manages and communicates with the PMC through an IP network (WAN or LAN).

ROI-S04917

2-2

2.2.2 Pasolink PMC Types

There are three types of Pasolink PMC’s. Each control contains a single CPMC and subordinate SCPMC’s and RPMC’s.

Central PMC (CPMC)

A Central PMC (CPMC) Pasolink has a Pasolink Management Card (PMC) in its IDU configured to communicate directly to the PNMS WS and to poll the subordinate SCPMC and RPMC connected in its chain

Each control (or chain) has one Central PMC (CPMC) that is directly connected to the PNMS in a central topology, and directly connected to the central PNMS and a regional PNMS in a distributed topology. The CPMC polls and collects alarm and status information from every SCPMC and RPMC in the chain.

Each PMC has at least one IP address assigned to it. When a CPMC serves as a dual master (this is discussed in Chapter 5: Network Configuration), it belongs to two sub-networks and therefore assigned with two IP addresses.

SUB-Central PMC (SCPMC)

A Sub-Central PMC (SCPM) operates as a slave to the master CPMC. The SCPMC helps to distribute the traffic by polling all the RPMC’s in its sub-network.

An SCPMC always has two IP addresses since a SCPMC is a slave to the master CPMC or to its parent SCPMC, and is also a master of its own sub-network.

Remote PMC (RPMC)

A Remote PMC (RPMC) does not poll any other Pasolink NE --- it only responds to polls from a CPMC or an SCPMC. A RPMC collects its own alarm and status information that it sends to its master when polled. A RPMC always a single IP address assigned to it.

2.3 Map Levels

There are four levels of PNMS map views. These four levels are:

Root Level map

Region Level map

Control Level map

and Radio Level map

Root Level Map

Upon opening the PNMS application the Root-Level map is displayed. It is the highest level map in the PNMS. The Root-Level map is shown in the figure below.

The Root-Level map includes two icons --- an Internet icon and a Pasolink Internet icon.

The Pasolink Internet icon is the root symbol of the Pasolink network. Since it is linked to all the regions, ergo network elements (NE), it displays the most severe alarm level in the network.

If you double-click on the Pasolink Internet icon, the Region-Level map is displayed.

The Internet icon is a default icon in HP OpenView™ and is not part of Pasolink network management system. It is out of the context of this manual.

ROI-S04917

2-4

Region-Level Map

The Region-Level map includes an icon for each region. A central topology shall include a single icon, while a distributed topology shall include an icon for each region.

A Pasolink network can have a central or a distributed topology.

Each regional icon is linked to the CPMC chains in its region. Moreover, it displays the most critical alarm in its region.

You can double-click on a specific regional icon to see the CPMC clusters or controls associated to the target region.

ROI-S04917

2-5

Control Level Map

A region is comprised of multiple controls where each control is a chain of Pasolink radio. A single region can have a maximum of 32 controls (chains).

The control level map has an icon for each control in a chain of Pasolink radio. As you shall discover later, there are two types of Pasolink PMC that can monitor and control other, non-controlling Pasolink PMC.

Each icon at this level represents a CPMC. A CPMC can monitor and control SCPMC and RPMC. It is important to understand at this juncture is that each control icon represents a single CPMC and an unbroken chain of linked SCPMC and RPMC that the CPMC can monitor and control.

ROI-S04917

2-6

Radio Level Map

The radio level map has an icon for each Pasolink radio in the chain of Pasolink radio that is under the control of a single CPMC.

The figure below shows a single CPMC icon and one (1) RPMC’s. The uppercase “C” on the bottom left of the icon marks the CPMC of the chain. If a Sub-Central PMC (SCPMC) is available in the radio level map, an uppercase “S” on the bottom left of the icon marks it. If the icon is unmarked, it represents an RPMC.

The icons on this map do not have any child window. Hence the double-click function of the mouse does not work in this map. To view the link summary of selected hops, you must select the target Pasolink icon and use the right most button of your mouse to display the context menu. Then select Pasolink Link Summary.

The color of the icon represents the severity of the summary alarm on the Pasolink NE it represents.

3.3.1 WS Channel window (option)

When you click on the WS command button in the IDU window, you will invoke the WS channel window. The window has two tabs.

WS Usage Tab

WS Usage is used to prevent the alarm item from issuing alarm status to the PNMS. Take note, however that inhibiting an alarm does not physically cut off the signal, but rather just prevents the PMC from sending alarm status to the PNMS.

The WS Usage window allows you to inhibit alarms. Click on a button to toggle the setting between Used and Not Used. After you toggle to a new value, the Execute command button will become sensitive. Click on the Execute command button to effect the change.

AIS RCVD Tab

AIS RCVD Tab allows you to select to report AIS RCVD status. Click on a button to toggle the setting between Report and Not report. After you toggle to a new value, the Execute command button will become sensitive. Click on the Execute command button to effect the change.

3.3.2 Control Channel window

When you click on a CHn command button in the IDU window, you will invoke the corresponding Control CHn window. The window has three tabs.

LB1 Tab

LB1 is Near-End loopback.

The LB1 tab allows you to turn on or turn off the Loop Back 1 test. Click on a button to toggle the setting between On and Off. After you toggle to a new value, the Execute command button will become sensitive. Click on the Execute command button to effect the change.

ROI-S04917

3-7

LB2 Tab

LB2 is a kind of far-end loopback where the selected Pasolink radio returns the signal it receives from the target channel back to the ODU and the radio link.

The LB2 tab allows you to turn on or turn off the Loop Back 2. Click on a button to toggle the setting between ON and OFF. After you toggle to a new value, the Execute command button will become sensitive. Click on the Execute command button to effect the change.

Usage Tab

The Usage tab allows you to inhibit alarms. When Not Used is selected, in the channel, the PMC will not send alarm to the PNMS for any input alarms on that specific channel. The signal on that channel, however, is not affected by the Usage function. This means that when a signal is injected on the channel that has its alarm inhibited, it will have no effect on its operation, as far as the traffic is concerned. Usage is only to prevent the alarms from that channel from being sent to the PNMS.

Click on a button to toggle the setting between Used and Not Used. After you toggle to a new value, the Execute command button will become sensitive. Click on the Execute command button to effect the change.

ROI-S04917

3.9 Link Performance Monitor window

When you click on the Link Performance Monitor command button in the Link Summary window, you will invoke the Link Performance Monitor window

The Link Performance Monitor window presents data for the BER (Bit Error Rate) and four error measures that are defined in the ITU-T Recommendation G.826 of February, 1999. The four measures are:

ES – Errored Second

SES – Severely Errored Second

UAS – Unavailable Second

BBE – Background Block Error

The window furnishes information for the four G.826 measures across four time periods. The time periods are:

Latest 15 min - the latest 15-minute interval of the current day.

Latest Day - the latest day (yellow background if in alarm state vis-à-vis user-defined threshold)

History 15 min – summary of the cumulative 15-minute data for the previous full week (normal or alarm, vis-à-vis the user-defined threshold)

History Day – summary of the cumulative day data for the previous full week (normal or alarm, vis-à-vis the user-defined threshold)

The two command buttons, Count and Ratio, represent the two options for the display of the performance data. “Count” is the actual count of the error measurement, while “Ratio” in percentage (%) indicates the percentage of occurrence of the errors.

ROI-S04917

3-27

The window below illustrates when “Ratio” is selected.

3.9.1 Link Performance Monitor window

The Link Performance Monitor window has three command buttons that invoke child windows.

3.9.1.1. Threshold window

You can invoke the Threshold window by clicking the “Threshold” command button in the Link Performance Monitor window. This is only available when “Ratio” (not “Count”) is selected.

You use the Threshold window to define two thresholds for each of the four G.826 error “latest” measures. The first threshold is “Occur”. When the error measure breaches the threshold, the affected measures will have a yellow background in the Link Performance Monitor window. (Note: The background color here is applied with the color of “minor” severity level. By default it is yellow.) The second threshold is “Recover”. The yellow background will remain until the “Recover” threshold is passed. For example, if you set the ES “Latest 15 min” “Occur” threshold ratio to 0.05%, then the yellow alarm background will appear when that measure reaches 0.05%. If you set the ES “Alarm Recovery” threshold ratio to 0.04%, then the yellow alarm background will remain until the measure falls below 0.04%.

There are four error measures, for 15-minutes and for a day, and there are two alarm thresholds. Thus, there are 16 (4 x 2 x 2) thresholds that you must define.

Perform the following steps to define a threshold.

1. The four error measures are ES, SES, UAS and BBE as displayed. 2. Use the radio buttons to select the time interval --- 15 minutes or one day. 3. Enter a value in percentage into the Occur field. 4. Enter a value in percentage into the Recover field. 5. Click on the [Execute] command button.

4.7 Link Performance History

The Link Performance History feature provides a chart of up to four industry-standard error measurements for a Pasolink NE over a user-specified time period.

The four error measures are defined in the ITU-T Recommendation G.826 of February, 1999. The four measures are:

ES – Errored Second

SES – Severely Errored Second

UAS – Unavailable Second

BBE – Background Block Error.

To set the PNMS WS to collect the Link Performance History data for a target Pasolink NE, verify that the following have been properly set:

The date and time of CMPC of the target Pasolink NE is synchronized with the PNMS WS (See 3.11 Date/Time Setting.)

The Data Collection Time is set. (See 7.2 Set the Data Collection time)

The target Pasolink NE is set for Link Performance Data Collection. (See 4.9.2 Performance Monitor tab.)

There are 3 forms of Link Performance History viewer:

Chart – the data is displayed in a chart form - the G.826 measures (%) versus the time.

Report – the data is displayed in a table showing the date/time and the G.826 measures.

Ratio – the data for ES, SES, and BBE is shown in ratio throughout the selected dates.

2. Right-click on the target NE. Select Link Performance History Chart. The Link Performance History window will appear.

To create the chart:

1. Select the type of data --- 15-minute or Daily. The 15-minute option provides 96 data points for each day. The daily option provides a single data point for a day.

2. Select the time period. A day is from midnight to midnight. The maximum allowable time period is one month. The PNMS program, given the data type and the time period, will determine the granularity of the axes in the resulting chart. For the worst-case scenario, if you select 15-minute as your data type and one-month as your time interval, the PNMS program must present 2,880 (96 x 30) data points. That defies legibility in a single window, so the PNMS program must reduce the granularity and quantity of data points. When you define your data type and time period selections, think about granularity and legibility.

5. PNMS Network Configuration Rules In order to start managing, monitoring or controlling the Pasolink NE’s in your radio network, you must first configure the PNMS. In this chapter, you will be oriented to the concepts you need to understand in order to configure the network for your PNMS.

All network configuration tasks for the PNMS is done using NEC’s NetConfig Tool. NetConfig Tool is window-based software application that generates PMC configuration files and PNMS network files. It is bundled with the PNMS software and runs on Windows 98/NT/2000™. (See NetConfig Tool Operation Manual for detailed operation procedures.

There are four (4) primary concepts that you need to understand before you can configure your Pasolink radio network.. These four concepts are:

Pasolink Network Configurations

NetConfig Tool

Importing network configuration.

Managing NE’s.

Please refer to PNMS Engineering Manual for a detailed information in building Pasolink radio networks.

5.1 Pasolink Network Configurations

There are three types of Pasolink network configurations (or chains).

Pasolink radio always comes in pairs or in one hop. The pairs are connected by radio frequency. A dashed line always represents this connection. A pair of Pasolink NE’s is connected to another pair of Pasolinks by a back-to-back (B-B) connection. A solid line always represents this connection.

A chain, under a single control (CPMC) is just that --- every pair of Pasolink hops must be connected to allow every member of the chain to be polled by the single CPMC and the appropriate SCPMC’s.

As you will find out later, PNMS allows you to manually designate which Pasolink are SCPMC, or to have PNMS automatically designate which Pasolink are SCPMC’s based on internal algorithms.

A Pasolink is also referred to as a Network Element (NE). For the remainder of this discussion, “NE” shall be interchangeable with “Pasolink”.

A single control (or configuration or chain) can have a maximum of 416 network elements.

5.1.1 IP Address Scheme

The PNMS program applies an algorithm to assign IP addresses to the Pasolink NE’s. The algorithm starts with the base IP address and maximum number of subnets that you entered when you added the control. For example, assume you entered “172.24.6.0” and “32”. IP addresses from “172.24.6.0” to “172.24.7.255” are assigned for NE’s on this control.

Every control has only one CPMC. The algorithm assigns the first subnet including CPMC (in our example) IP addresses from “172.24.6.0” to “172.24.6.15”. IP address of CPMC is “172.24.6.1”. IP addresses “172.24.6.0” and “172.24.6.15” are not used for NE’s because these IP addresses are used for broadcast address. So in CPMC sub-network, only 14 IP addresses are actually assigned to the NE’s.

ROI-S04917

5-2

The second sub-network will be polled by a SCPMC. IP addresses of the second subnet are from “172.24.6.16” to “172.24.6.31”. (IP addresses “172.24.6.16” and “172.24.6.31” are not used for NE’s) That SCPMC will have an IP address of “172.24.6.17”.

The third sub-network shall be controlled by an SCPMC with an IP address of “172.24.6.33”.

The following table illustrates the algorithm’s IP-addressing methodology. The control base address for this example is “172.28.6.0”.

Sub-network Controller Type

Controller IP Address Last Available IP Addresses in the Sub-network

First CPM 172.28.6.1 172.28.6.14 Second SCPM 172.28.6.17 172.28.6.30 Third SCPM 172.28.6.33 172.28.6.46 Fourth SCPM 172.28.6.49 172.28.6.62 Nth SCPM 172.28.6.(16)(N-1)+1 172.28.6.(16)(N)-2 Sixteenth SCPM 172.28.6.241 172.28.6.254 Seventeenth SCPM 172.28.7.1 172.28.7.14

That is the reason for the base address to have a rightmost octet value that is a multiple of 16 --- so the CPM Pasolink DMR can have an IP address with a rightmost octet value that is a multiple of 16, plus 1.

There is one major caveat, as you probably noticed when you read the table. Using this algorithm, it appears that every Pasolink NE in the control will have an IP address such that the second octet from the right will have a value of “6”. However, a single control can have a single CPM Pasolink DMR and a maximum of 417 other Pasolink NE’s. An IP address octet can range from 0 to 255. If you can have 417 network elements, then the rightmost octet cannot accommodate that quantity. When the algorithm reaches the sixteenth sub-network, it finds that it cannot build a full seventeenth sub-network. So the algorithm rolls over the value in the second octet from the right (6) to the next integer (7), and then starts all over with “1” as the value for the rightmost octet for the SCPMC in the seventeenth network. In the example, the last available IP address for the sixteenth sub-network is “172.28.6.254”, and the IP address for the SCPMC in the seventeenth sub-network is “172.28.7.1”.

NOTE: The PNMS network configuration tool uses classless IP (255.255.255.240). In other words any class of IP address can be assigned on the Pasolink radio network subnet. One CPMC cluster will require two (2) classless subnets. The assignment of the IP addresses in the Pasolink network is done automatically by the PNMS using an internal algorithm based on the scheme described above.

5.1.2 Simple-Chain Configuration

A simple-chain configuration has a single CPMC and a maximum of 416 subordinate NE,s, either SCPMC or RPMC. There can be a maximum of 31 SCPMC in the chain.

A simple-chain configuration has no branches. You can manually designate SCPMC or let PNMS automatically designate SCPMC in order to balance the traffic load.

The following figure illustrates a simple-chain configuration.

The upper case “C” indicates the CPMC. Recall that a control (chain) can have only one CPMC and it is the master controller. The upper case “S” indicates an SCPMC and it is a slave controller. The 10 remaining NEs are RPMC’s and they have no identifying letter.

In this example, the user either manually designated the SCPM C to control 10 RPMCs, or the user allowed the PNMS to automatically designate the SCPMC. By default the PNMS is configured to use 10 as the upper limit for NE’s to be controlled by a single CPMC or SCPMC.

The communication is unidirectional from the single CPMC. However, the PNMS automatic algorithm counts RPMC’s from the end of the communication chain in order to designate a SCPMC. Thus in this example, the 10 RPM Cs that are the greatest distance from the CPM C are controlled by the designated SCPM C.

Each NE has a name that starts with the string “Paso14”. That is the number that the user defined to identify the control. The numbering is sequential, starting with the CPMC and moving in the direction of the communication. Let’s assume for this example that the user defined the base IP address as “172.14.12.0”.

The IP addressing scheme reflects the naming scheme --- it starts at the single CPMC and moves in the direction of the communication (away from the CPMC).

Thus “Paso14-1”, the single CPMC that is the controller of the first sub-network, has an IP address of “172.14.12.1”.

“Paso14-2” is an SCPMC. It is a slave to the master and it is also a master in another sub-network. It has two IP addresses. As a slave to the CPM C, it has an IP address of 172.14.12.2. As a controller of the second sub-network, it has an IP address of 172.14.12.17. (Refer to the previous table.)

ROI-S04917

5-4

“Paso14-3” is an RPMC. It does not control any other NE’s. Its master is “Paso 14-2”, the SCPMC. “Paso14-3” has an IP address of 172.14.12.18.

To complete the example, “Paso14-12” has an IP address of 172.14.12.27. It is the eleventh network element in the second sub-network.

Let’s summarize a simple-chain configuration.

A simple-chain configuration has a single master CPM C with a single IP address of “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1”, where “aaa”, “bbb”, and “ccc” are the user-defined network number, and “ddd” is user-defined and one more than the base IP address. Additionally, “ddd” is a multiple of 16.

A simple-chain configuration has up to 31 SCPMCs. Each has two IP addresses, one as a slave to its parent sub-network and one as the master of its own sub-network. The slave IP address is “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd”, where “ddd” reflects the SCPM C’s ordered position in the sub-network. The master IP address is “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1”, where “ddd” is a multiple of 16.

Finally, each RPM C has an IP address of “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd”, where “ddd” is the RPM C’s ordered position in its sub-network.

5.1.3 Multi-Drop Configuration

A multi-drop configuration has a single CPMC and a maximum of 416 subordinate NE’s, either SCPMC or RPMC’s. There can be a maximum of 31 SCPMC in the chain.

A multi-drop configuration allows branches. You can manually designate SCPMC in order to balance the traffic load or let PNMS automatically designate SCPMC according to its internal algorithm.

The following figure illustrates a multi-drop configuration.

ROI-S04917

5-5

The example has a single branch. The branch is from “Paso18-3” to “Paso18-9”. Note that the branch connects to the line (B-B) side of “Paso18-3”. This is called the NMS port, while the radio-connected side is called the DPU port. A branch must always drop from the NMS side of the NE. Another rule that must be remembered in adding branches in multidrop network is that it must always connect from the input of the NMS port. That means that the line (B-B) for branches must be added on the NE that receives its polling from the NMS port not from the DPU port. This rule is established since the NMS port can “split” the signal from the input only. The figure below illustrates this rule:

C

C

Line (B-B) Connection Rule: Allowed

Line (B-B) Connection Rule: Not Allowed

OK!

In this example, the user either manually designated the SCPMC or the user allowed the PNMS to automatically designate the SCPMC. The automatic algorithm selects the longest branch (the example only has one) and counts in from the far end of the branch (away from the CPMC). The PNMS is configured to use 10 as the upper limit for RPMCs to be controlled by a single SCPMC and the longest branch had more than 10 network elements, then the algorithm would designate the eleventh NE in the longest branch as an SCPMC. If there were multiple branches, the PNMS algorithm would repeat the process and combine branches in the count if the branches have less than 10 NEs each.

Each NE has a name that starts with the string “Paso18”. That is the number that the user defined to identify the control. The numbering is sequential, starting with the CPM C and moving in the direction of the communication. Let’s assume for this example that the user defined the base IP address as “172.18.24.32”.

The IP addressing scheme reflects the naming scheme --- it starts at the single CPM C and moves in the direction of the communication (away from the CPM C).

Thus “Paso181”, the single CPM C in the configuration, has an IP address of “172.18.24.33”.

“Paso182”, an RPM C, has an IP address of 172.18.24.34.

“Paso189” is an SCPM C. It is a slave to the master and it is also a master in another sub-network. It has two IP addresses. As a slave to the CPM C, it has an IP address of “172.18.24.41”. Note that it is the ninth network element in the sub-network. As a controller of its own sub-network, it has an IP address of “172.18.1.49”. (Refer to the previous table.)

Let’s summarize a multi-drop configuration.

A multi-drop configuration has a single master CPM C with a single IP address of “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1”, where “aaa”, “bbb”, and “ccc” is the user-defined network number, and “ddd” is user-defined and one more than the base IP address. Additionally, “ddd” is a multiple of 16.

ROI-S04917

5-6

A multi-drop configuration has up to 32 SCPM Cs. Each has two IP addresses, one as a slave to its parent sub-network and one as the master in its own sub-network. The slave IP address is “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd”, where “ddd” reflects the SCPM C’s ordered position in the sub-network. The master IP address is “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1”, where “ddd” is a multiple of 16.

Finally, each RPM C has an IP address of “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd”, where “ddd” is the RPM C’s ordered position in its sub-network.

5.1.4 Dual-Master Configuration

A dual-master configuration has a single CPMC and a maximum of 416 subordinate NE’s, either SCPMC or RPMC’s. There can be a maximum of 30 SCPMC in the chain.

A dual-master configuration allows the single CPMC to serve as the master of two chains simultaneously.

The following figure illustrates a dual-master configuration.

The example has two chains. Both chains are controlled by the single CPMC, “Paso15-1”. The uppercase “C” indicates the CPMC. “Paso15-1” has two PMC’s and thus two IP addresses. The remaining NEs are RPMC’s and they have no identifying letter.

Each C has a name that starts with the string “Paso15”. That is the number that the user defined to identify the control. The numbering is sequential, starting with the CPMC and moving in the direction of the communication. Let’s assume for this example that the user defined the base IP address as “172.15.27.0”.

“Paso15-1”, the single CPM C in the configuration, has two IP addresses since it controls two sub-networks. The two IP addresses are “172.15.27.1” and “172.15.27.17”. The former is the IP address for the controller of the first sub-network. The IP address is the user-defined base IP address with the rightmost octet value incremented by one. The latter is the IP address for the controller in the second sub-network.

“Paso15-2”, an RPMC, has an IP address of “172.15.27.2”. This indicates that it is the second network element in the first sub-network.

ROI-S04917

5-7

“Paso15-7”, an RPMC, has an IP address of “172.15.27.18”. This indicates that it is the second network element in the second sub-network.

Thus “Paso15-1”, the single CPM C with dual PMCs, serves as the master controller for both chains.

Let’s summarize a dual-master configuration.

A dual-master configuration has a single master CPM C with two IP addresses. The first IP address, as the controller of the first sub-network, is “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1”, where “aaa”, “bbb”, and “ccc” are the user-defined network number and “ddd” is user-defined and one more than that of the base IP address. Additionally, “ddd” is a multiple of 16. The second IP address, as the controller of the sub-network, is “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1”, where “ddd” is a multiple of 16.

A dual-master configuration has up to 30 SCPM Cs. Each has two IP addresses, one as a slave to its parent sub-network and one as the master in its own sub-network. The slave IP address is “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd”, where “ddd” reflects the SCPM C’s ordered position in the sub-network. The master IP address is “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd+1”, where “ddd” is a multiple of 16.

Finally, each RPMC has an IP address of “aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd”, where “ddd” is the RPMC’s ordered position in its sub-network.

7. User Configuration The Pasolink Network Management System (PNMS) main window includes a hierarchical multi-leveled menu structure. PNMS also includes several context (pop-up) menus that a user invokes by clicking the rightmost mouse button on an icon. Some of these menu selections are available to every user while other menu selections are restricted to specific groups of users.

The restricted menu selections are uniquely distributed across functions (or privileges). An individual restricted menu selection is associated with a single function, but multiple restricted menu selections can be associated with the same function. For example, the “Manage NE” and “Unmanage NE” restricted menu selections are associated only with Function # 1. They are not associated with any other function. Thus, the two restricted menu selections are only associated with Function #1 and are joined together as a package.

PNMS allows you to first define a group of users and associate a set of functions (privileges) with that group of users. After you define a group of users, you then assign an individual user to a group. A user can only belong to one group. Thus, the user’s privileges are a direct result of the user belonging to that group.

By default, PNMS has a group named “group0” with a single user named “admin”. This group is granted all of the functions. This group and its single user (the PNMS administrator) cannot be changed or deleted. PNMS does not allow another group to have all functions.

The matrix that correlates the functions to the restricted menu selections in the PNMS menu hierarchy and context menus in presented in Appendix E. A user in a specific group would only see the restricted menu items that correlate to the functions that are associated with that group.

Note!!! Removing and modifying users/groups is allowed to the specific user. But, you must remove the users first before removing the group.
