2. GENERAL CONCEPTS
This chapter aims to familiarize you with the underlying PNMSj concepts. It includes a brief
introduction of PNMSj and a section on navigating within the windows and maps. By the end
of the chapter you should be able to navigate the PNMSj windows and maps smoothly as well
as have an understanding how the PNMSj works.
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in the PNMSj to manage the
PASOLINK / 5000S radio network. The manual assumes that the reader is already familiar
with the protocol and therefore does not describe it in detail.
2.1. About PNMSj

The PASOLINK Network Management System provides easy-to-use monitoring, control,
configuration and management of PASOLINK / 5000S wireless networks. You can use
PNMSj to do the following:
Monitor PASOLINK / 5000S wireless equipment status.
Control and configure PASOLINK / 5000S wireless equipment.
Collect Link Performance data.
Update PASOLINK / 5000S wireless network configuration data.
Export an Inventory List (license required).
Program File (F/W) Manages integrated downloads (en bloc)
SNMP communication with Upper Level (parent) Manager (license required).
2.2. Definitions and Concepts

This section provides an overview of key concepts that will help you understand how PNMSj
works. It includes brief descriptions of the PASOLINK wireless network model, and
definitions of symbols, maps and sub-maps.
2.2.1. PNMSj Manager and Agents

PNMSj uses the SNMP manager / agent model to manage PASOLINK / 5000S wireless
networks.
The SNMP manager in the system is the PNMSj. It manages all operations, for controlling
and monitoring the agent systems.
The SNMP agent in the system is the PASOLINK Management Card (PMC) – the Control
module (CTRL) is integrated in each PASOLINK series IDU. The PMC / CTRL contains the
necessary software applications for managing the network as prompted by the PNMSj.
For 5000S it is known as a Local Monitoring System (LMS).
The PNMSj communicates with the PMC / CTRL through an IP network (WAN or LAN).

2.3. PNMSj Main Window

To use PNMSj you should be familiar with the graphical user interface (GUI). The PNMSj
GUI has a standard architecture – containing standard menus and features or functions that
make navigating the PNMSj window straightforward.
The PNMSj main window provides five types of view. These are:
 Hierarchical View:
Composed of two views – Group View and Connection View.
 Map View:
It shows the correlated location of the network map against a graphical background.
 Alarm Information View:
It shows a summary of currently active alarms.
 Event Log View:
It shows the log for every event in the network.
2.3.1. Hierarchical View

This section provides the hierarchy or the tree-view of the network elements (NE) in PNMSj.
There are two types of Hierarchical View in PNMSj:
 Group View:
Only the groups are shown, and network elements contained within a pre-defined
network group are displayed in the Map, List and Alarm Information area.
 Connection View:
The region, network and subnet groups are shown in this area, and network elements
contained in specific groups in accordance with its logic connection to its master PMC
-3-
NWD-102888
(CPMC) or CTRL (Root NE) or LMS (Root NE). Depending on the PNMSj property
settings, the Connection View enables NE management on either the network level (i.e.
Flat Mode) or the subnet level (i.e. Hierarchy Mode). (For details on editing / switching
the mode setting, refer to section 3.7.1 General Settings).

3.6. Setting Security Options

To protect the network and network management system from unauthorized access or
modifications, the access privileges are assigned to the groups rather than to the individual
user. Users will have the privilege granted to the group to which they belong.
The control of network elements can be customized and made available to specific groups.
This allows the administrator a high-flexibility of assigning not only the PNMSj functions but
also the control and management of individual NE.
Moreover, users and groups created in PNMSj exist only internally in PNMSj and do not
correspond to Windows users or groups.
Group and / or User information set up here can be saved in a file by Export function. Also
with Import function, security options set up in other PNMSj can be read in. However, these
Export / Import functions are not applicable to any security options placed on NEs (applies to
security options on PNMSj functions). Furthermore, because files readout by Export function
are in a unique format of its own, those can not be edited.
3.6.1. Group List

To display group list:
1. Select System  Security in menu bar of PNMSj main window.
NOTE
The administrator group is displayed by default. The
access privileges for the “admin” group cannot be
modified. Moreover, the “admin” user cannot delete
itself.

5. Select the NE tab and set whether to monitor the target NE or not.
-21-
NWD-102888
This sets the target NE to monitor according to group. NEs that are checked are enabled
to monitor the members of the designated group, while the members of the group
cannot observe the NE with check removed.
Map View
 Unchecked NE are displayed in a translucent color.
 There is no way to open the Link Summary via the click or right-click menu for
unchecked NE.
-22-
NWD-102888
Alarm Information View
 Unchecked NEs are displayed in translucent colors.

 There is no way to open the Link Summary via the double-click or right-click menu
for unchecked NEs.
 Since alarms for unchecked NE are not counted, "-" will be displayed across the
line as its Alarm information. Its alarms are excluded from the calculation of the
number of total alarms from all network elements.
6. Edit the PNMTj security level by selecting from the preset levels in the pull down
menu. This will set the privileges to be assigned to the users in this group when they
open the Link Summary window of the NE. The available PNMTj security level and
description are shown in the list below:
 Admin:
Highest level of PNMTj user privilege. This user has access to all PNMTj controls
and configurations.
 Remote:
This user can access all PNMTj control and configuration functions except
downloading / updating the network configuration file or program.
 Local:
When using PNMSj, a Local user has the same access privileges as a Remote user.
 User:
User operator privilege. This user can only access features / functions that do not
affect the operation of the equipment.
 Monitor:
This user can only access the status monitoring functions; all control and
configuration functions are disabled for this type of PNMTj user privilege.
-23-
NWD-102888
NOTE
In the PNMTj security level, Remote and Local are
already defined for the existing group names. Both have
the same access privilege for using PNMSj.
7. Input the quantity of Max. Link Summaries

Max. Link Summaries: The number of Link Summaries that the user can open at the
same time is set. The quantity is set for each Group that the user belongs to. (minimum
quantity: 1; maximum quantity: the Max Client number as defined by the License).
NOTE
Because iPASOLINK is launched by LCT, it is excluded
as the figure in MaxLinkSummaries.
8. Click [OK] button to complete the addition of the new group.
3.6.4. Group Privileges

This feature allows higher flexibility in terms of security for the Administrator. Privileges
differ in the extent of access to specific Network Groups and Network Elements and in the
extent of control and configuration initiation.
Privilege settings include:
 Function – defines the functions available for the group.
 Network Element - defines the NE that can be controlled by the group.
NOTE
All network elements can be monitored / viewed
regardless of the defined privilege. However, a group
will not be able to control an NE that has not been
assigned to them.

PNMSj incorporates a map area to graphically represent the network and it can easily be
customized according to the user’s specification. There are two types of map available in the
PNMSj:
 Group Map:
Graphical representation of the network elements according to grouping. A group is a
user-defined collection of network elements. The number of group maps varies
according to the number of groups or sub-groups defined by the user. Groups can be
added, deleted or modified according to user requirements.
 Connection Map:
Graphical representation of the network elements according to its logic connection to
the network. The network elements are grouped according to their subnet. Hence the
number of connection maps varies according to the number of subnets in the network.
These are automatically created by the PNMSj and are not user-definable.
The PNMSj maps are correlated collections of icons, lines and background graphics. Some
sample maps are shown below:

3.28. Viewing Event Log

This PNMSj tool is useful for monitoring all events occurring within the network. It is
designed to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting work on the PNMSj. The events are
listed in an easy–to-view format giving the user information about the date and time when
occurred, the network element where they occurred, the alarm item and status. The User
column provides an event log that the user can control, and the login user name can also be
shown.
The event log window is incorporated in the PNMSj main window. The logs are displayed at
the bottom of the PNMSj window.
NOTE
“TRAP ID SKIPPED” (Explained):
The PMC / CTRL assigns a unique sequence number
to each trap and is sent to the PNMSj along with the
trap packet. This number is called the TRAP ID. It
allows the PNMSj to detect lost traps. During normal
operation, the PNMSj receives the trap with
sequenced ID. (Example: First trap with TRAPID=0,
next trap with TRAPID=1, then the next with TRAP
ID=2, and so on). The ID of the last trap received by 1
and therefore will expect the next trap to contain this
ID. If the PNMSj receives a trap that does not have
the expected ID then this trap is lost. Once the PNMSj
detects this, the “TRAP ID Skipped” is added to the
Event Log.

APPENDIX E: SYNCHRONIZING NE NAMES AFTER UPDATE

NETWORKCONFIGURATION
For the Name of NE with no changes to its IP address and NE type during Update Network
Configuration, if its NE name kept in NCT file and the name kept in PNMSj differ, following is the
way to let the Name kept in PNMSj override the other. (As a usual rule, information kept in NCT
files prevail.)
Setup Method
Open PNMS.properties file and change the value of PriorityNeName in PNMS section.
[Before the change]

---------------------------
[PNMS]
PriorityNeName=0
---------------------------
[After the change]

---------------------------
[PNMS]
PriorityNeName=0
---------------------------
See below for set values and explanation.
0: Priority over NCT
For the Name of NE with no changes to its IP address and NE type but its NE name in
PNMSj differ from the one in NCT file, the name is changed according to NCT file.
1: Priority over PNMSj
For the Name of NE with no changes to its IP address and NE type but its NE name in
PNMSj differ from the one in NCT file, the name in PNMSj is adopted and will not
change to the one in NCT file.
Rebooting PNMSj is necessary to reflect any changes made to setting by above process.
