Creating a New Network Configuration Workspace To start creating new workspace: 1. Go to File Æ New in the main menu. 2. A blank workspace will be displayed. 3. If a workspace is currently loaded, a pop-up message will appear to remind the user to save the current workspace before opening a new one. Click the [Cancel] button and save the current workspace and repeat step 1. 4. Start creating and editing network configuration workspace.

2.6

Opening an Existing Workspace (*.nct) NetCfgToolj allows you to save a workspace in *.nct file format so that you can open and modify the current network configuration. Once you load an existing/current workspace you will be able to modify, delete or add NE’s in the network. (See also 2.15 Saving Current Workspace.) To open an existing workspace: 1. Click on File Æ Open in the main menu of the main window. 2. Select the *.nct file of the workspace from the list. 3. Click [Open] button. 4. If a workspace is currently loaded, a pop-up message will appear to remind the user to save the current workspace before opening a new one. Click [Cancel] button and save the current workspace and repeat step 1. 5. Verify that the correct workspace is opened in the main window.

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.

- 9-

NWD-104045

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. Click on [OK] button to save the new settings.

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.

- 218 -

NWD-104045 3. You have to separately configure (Create Configuration) each workspace/network. Select the network that you wish to configure and then click on Tools Æ Create Configuration. NOTE: the configuration files cannot be exported until the asterisk (“*”) in the network name for all of the network workspaces disappears. Therefore, “Export” can only be executed after configuring (Create Configuration) each of the network workspaces. 4. The maximum number of workspaces is 500.

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 Total PMC = 1 (Line concentrator/other equipment with no redundancy).

Redundant System 1+0/1+1

PMC Type/PMC Usage RPMC Normal CPMC Normal SCPMC Normal N+1 RPMC Protection CH CPMC Protection CH SCPMC Protection CH RPMC Normal Line Concentrator/ 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 Configuration) will then be possible.

Appendix E: Incorrect Configuration of PASOLINK Mx / PASOLINK+ The following configuration is not possible in a mixed network of PASOLINK Mx/PASOLINK+ and PASOLINKV3/PASOLINKV4/Paso-S/MIU NE’s, when PASOLINK Mx/PASOLINK+ NE’s are placed close to 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.

HDLC 19.2 kbps PPP 19.2 kbps

Appendix F: NMS Port Setting of MIU (Line Concentrator / Hop) If an MIU (Line Concentrator or Hop type) is included in your system configuration, please confirm the following points related to MIU setting. 1. When the MIU (Line Concentrator or Hop type) is connected as a PASOLINK+ or PASOLINK Mx multi-drop connection, please confirm that the NMS port is set for each MIU, for example, the connection of No.003 and No.004 in Pattern 1 or No.003 and No.005 in Pattern2.

2. Confirm that “Connect Port” of each MIU is set to “NMS” by opening “Line Properties” between No.003 and No.004 in Pattern 1 or between No.003 and No.005 in Pattern 2.

- 228 -

NWD-104045 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.

Appendix G: Incorrect Configuration of PASOLINK NEO (or iPASOLINK) / PASOLINK Mx (Bridge NE) / PASOLINK+ STM-1 (Bridge NE) / PASOLINK+ PDH (Bridge NE) (No.1) A hub must be used when PASOLINK NEO (or iPASOLINK) is to be connected to two (or more) NE(Bridge NE) in a network configuration where both PASOLINK NEO (or iPASOLINK) and PASOLINK Mx(Bridge NE)/PASOLINK+STM-1(Bridge NE)/PASOLINK+PDH(Bridge NE) coexist. 1.

Without a hub link between PASOLINK NEO (or iPASOLINK) and PASOLINK+ NE, the Create Configuration feature cannot function properly. The following diagram shows such a case: No.005 (PASOLINK NEO) is connected to No.003 (PASOLINK Mx [Bridge NE]), and No.007 (PASOLINK Mx [Bridge NE]). Since No. 003 is connected to No. 005 via the EM1 connecting port and No. 007 is connected via the EM2, if a hub were not used, a LAN connection with cross-cables would be necessary. Since, this is not technically possible there is no other alternative to using a hub.

Appendix H: Incorrect Configuration of iPASOLINK / PASOLINK NEO/ PASOLINK Mx (Bridge NE) / PASOLINK+ STM-1 (Bridge NE) / PASOLINK+ PDH (Bridge NE) (No.2) When a hub is used for the Back-to-Back connection of NE, it is necessary to extend two or more connected lines from NE on the side near PNMS, and to connect it with other NE. 1. Otherwise, the Create Configuration feature cannot function properly. When a hub is used as in the following example linking No.002, (PASOLINK NEO), No.004, (PASOLINK NEO) and No.005 (PASOLINK NEO), it is not possible to extend two or more connected lines from No.002 (PASOLINK NEO). Instead, it is necessary to change the connection mode shown on the screen (case 1) or to change to a hub-less connection (case 2).

Appendix I: Incorrect Configuration of PASOLINK NEO / iPASOLINK When PASOLINK NEO / iPASOLINK is connected with PNMS, it is not possible to have a network configuration where NE are connected via the “EM1” port for PASOLINK NEO and “NMS” port for iPASOLINK to others (e.g. PASOLINK NEO or No.001 PASOLINK+). connecting port: EM1

1. Otherwise, (due to the PASOLINK NEO connecting port “EM1” being used) the Create Configuration feature cannot 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.
