Network Configuration Toolj

The Network Configuration Toolj (NetCfg Toolj) is an optional application tool for the Pasolink
Network Management System, which provides an easy to use graphical interface in building
NEC PASOLINK networks. It is a powerful tool used to generate configuration files for the
Pasolink Management Cards (PMC) and network connection data files for the Pasolink Network
Management System (PNMS).
1.1
Purpose
This document illustrates the use of the NetCfg Toolj. The explanation focuses on the common
functions of the NetCfg Toolj and therefore is for general-purpose operational use. Moreover,
the NEC PNMS is also briefly described to provide users with an overall understanding of the
NEC PASOLINK NMS.

2.7
Network Properties: Naming the Individual Networks in a Workspace

Since one workspace can contain a number of networks, the NetCfg Toolj 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
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 NetCfg Toolj 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
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 NetCfg Toolj
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 five 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 NEs exceeds 62, a new subnet must be assigned to the network to
allocate new IP addresses for the new NEs
-8-
ROI-S05945
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,
NetCfg Toolj 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
regstered is 5.)
4. Click on [OK] button to save the new settings.

3. Arrange the newly added hop according to desired position in the workspace. The NEs
can be moved around the workspace by clicking on it and dragging it to the desired
location in the workspace
2.9.2
Adding Back-to-back Line (cable)

To add a back-to-back line (cable):
1. Click on the
icon in the tool bar or click on Edit Add BB Line from the main menu.
2. Click on one of the NE to be connected. Then click on the other NE to be connected by

back-to-back line (cable) to the previously selected NE. Refer to the example given below.
Example: Connecting Pasolink No.002 with Pasolink No.008
Step 1. Click on
icon. Click on Pasolink No. 002.
Step 2. Click on Pasolink No. 008.

Step 3. Set the line properties.
(Refer to 2.8.10 Setting Line (cable) Properties.)
Note: Multi-drop or branch lines (B-B) cannot be connected
to the output or the NMS signal source -No.001 in this
example. PMC NMS port splits only the input signal but not
the output signal. This is a limitation of the PMC hardware.

ROI-S05945
2.9.3
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 NetCfg
Toolj 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 NetCfg Toolj to represent the different back-toback connection types.

Appendix C: Configuration of Dual Master MIU

At MIU (Line Concentrator) two ports, NMS port and DPU port are available. By default NetCfg
Toolj 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.
- 70 -
ROI-S05945
Appendix D: Incorrect Configuration of MIU (Line Concentrator)

Setting up MIU (Line Concentrator) in a Multi-Drop configuration, please use DPU port on the
Master side of the Multi-Drop connection. This is due to the MIU hardware limitations.
1. As illustrated in the figure below, since DPU port is assigned on the Master side of the
Multi-Drop, this is a correct configuration and configuring (Create Configuration) would
be possible.
NMS
DPU
Multi-Drop Connection
2. The configuration below is prohibited. Create Configuration will result in error, since MIU
(No.007) may not be set to DPU Port on the Slave side of the Multi-Drop connection.
NMS
DPU

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 NEs, when Pasolink Mx/Pasolink+ NEs 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
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 ASYNC (19.2 kbps). As a result, in the No.007, a 19.2K IC is required to serve two
different protocols, which is not possible.
Instead, SYNC (64K) IC is used for the connection.
ASYNC
19.2 kbps
PPP
19.2 kbps
- 72 -
ROI-S05945
2. To change the connection of No.005 and No.007 from ASYNC to SYNC, please use the
Line Properties dialog box. Please change the port for No.005 from NE2 to NE1.
3. After the line properties are modified, the configuration will be shown as below and
configuring (Create Configuration) will then be possible.
SYNC
64 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.
<Pattern 1>
NE2
<Pattern 2>
NMS
NE2
NMS
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.
- 74 -
ROI-S05945
3. In the above example, please confirm that both MIUs 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.
