NOTE: *The maximum number of NEs per CPMC network is 416 NEs regardless to whether more than 416 IP addresses are assigned to the network. * The maximum number of NEs per Root NE network is 500. This number is calculated by following formula. Maximum number of NEs per Root NE network =[Maximum number of subnet per Root NE network] X [Maximum number of NEs 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.

Back-to-Back Line Color Codes The NMS back-to-back connection between NEs varies according to the type of NEs connected, speed, synchronization, the port used and the type of protocol used. The NetCfgToolj uses color-coded lines to allow the network designer to distinguish the various types of connection.
The following lists the color codes used by the NetCfgToolj to represent the different back-to-back connection types. Black: represents the common RS-485/RS-232C/9600bps/ASYNC multi-drop line between Pasolink, Line Concentrator, MIU and Pasolink-S NEs. Red: represents the 64kbps/RS-422/SYNC connections between NE1 and NE1 of Pasolink Mx/Pasolink+/Pasolink Mx (Bridge NE)/Pasolink+ STM-1 (Bridge NE) /Pasolink+ PDH (Bridge NE) NEs.

Table 2.62 PNMS Parameters of MIU (Hop) Parameter PNMS Connection Definition Defines the type of connection that the PMC in the Line concentrator has with the PNMS. There are three (3) possible PNMS connections allowed by the PMC namely: RS-232C: PNMS connects to the PMC using RS-232C/19.2kbps Asynchronous interface. RS-422: PNMS connects to the PMC using RS422/19.2kbps/V.11 Asynchronous Interface LAN: PMC connects directly to an Ethernet network using 10BaseT/10Mbps interface. Defines the IP address that will be assigned to the LAN-PNMS port of the PMC. Defines the subnet mask used by the LAN port of the PMC. Defines the IP address of the machine where the traps from the PMC will be forwarded. In cases where the PNMS PC/WS is in the same network (LAN) as the PMC, this will be normally the IP address of the PNMS PC/WS. In case of WAN or networks wherein the PNMS is located in another network, this will be the IP address of the nearest router. Specifies whether the RS232C/RS422 connection is Direct or through Router. Direct connection means the PNMS PC connects to the CPMC using its local COM ports. Router means that the CPMC is connected to the PNMS through a router. In this case the IP address must be in the same subnet as the routers serial port. Defines the IP address that will be assigned to the PNMS port of the PMC. Defines the subnet mask used by the PNMS port of the PMC.

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). 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 PMCs the user must individually alter the PMC usage for any additional PMCs 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 PMCs 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 PMCs below it first. Redundant System 1+0/1+1

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 / Pasolink Mx (Bridge NE) / Pasolink+ STM-1 (Bridge NE) / Pasolink+ PDH (Bridge NE) (No.1)
A hub must be used when Pasolink NEO is to be connected to two (or more) NE(Bridge NE) in a network configuration where both Pasolink NEO and Pasolink Mx(Bridge NE)/Pasolink+STM-1(Bridge NE)/Pasolink+PDH(Bridge NE) coexist. 1. Without a hub link between Pasolink NEO 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 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).

Rewire the actual connections for each respective actual NE wherever Async cable is replaced by LAN cable in Tools-Create Configuration of NetConfigToolj. In the following examples, when changing NEs to Bridge NE mode, the back-to-back connecting cables between the NEs in the red circle (No.003, No.005, and No.007) are automatically changed from Async to LAN cable and the connecting port is changed from NE1/NE2 to LAN. Proceed to the respective NE locations and change the connecting line from Async to LAN cable and the connecting port to LAN. Note: Since the LAN port only has one outlet, a repeater hub should be used for Back-to-Back connection to two or more NEs. Since, the Sync cable can be used as is, there is no need to change to LAN cable. Before After
