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 provideuseful names to each of the networks. By default, Network-x, where x is the network number, isassigned.

To set the network name:

1. Click on NetworkProperties from the main menuor right click anywhere in thecurrent Network window toopen the Network Properties window.

2. Enter the desired name for thisworkspace/network in theNetwork Name box.

3. Click on [OK] button to save thenew setting.

2.8 Network Properties: Network Address and Subnet Setting

The IP addresses assigned by the NetCfgToolj to selected network depend on the assignedNetwork Address and Subnet Mask in the Network Properties window.

To set the subnet of the selected network:

1. Click on NetworkProperties from the mainmenu or right click anywherein the current Networkwindow to open the NetworkProperties window.

2. Click on Subnet category inthe Network Properties window.

3. By default the NetCfgTooljwill utilize the privatenetwork address 172.18.0.0 with subnet mask 255.255.254.0. This subnet allocates 512IP addresses to the selected network. You can modify this subnet by selecting the defaultsubnet 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 theselected network. (NOTE: A maximum number of thirty two network addresses and subnetmask settings is possible)

** For example, network address 10.10.10.0 with subnet mask 255.255.255.192 was initiallyassigned to the selected network. This means only 64 addresses are initially allocated. Ifthe number of NE’s exceeds 62, a new subnet must be assigned to the network to allocatenew IP addresses for the new NE’s



NWD-104045

- 9-

NOTE: *The maximum number of NE’s per CPMC network is 416 NE’s regardless to whethermore 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 byeither changing the Network Address or the Subnet mask to be used by the selectednetwork. You can increase or decrease the allocated IP address on the selected networkby modifying the subnet mask and the network address in this window. (Refer to Append ix B: Subnets to see the available subnets in the managed network.)

In the example shown below, where the networkaddress is 172.18.0.64 with subnet mask255.255.255.192 given to the selected network,NetCfgToolj will allocate the IP address172.18.0.65-126 to this network. Note that in this

example 62 IP addresses were assigned. Anotheras the network address (172.18.0.64) andanother 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, theensuing window enables you to define anothersubnet that will be added to the existing subnet.Click on [Add] button to save the new subnet.(NOTE: The maximum number of networkaddresses and subnet mask settings that can beregistered is 5.)

NOTE: Since IP addresses from 172.17.240.0 thru 172.17.255.255 are internally reservedIP Addresses, those can not be assigned to any network as its Network Address.

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

NOTE: Network sizing rule

Maximum number of NE 5000NEs

Maximum number of CPMC/Root NE 500ea

Maximum number of subnet per CPMC 32 subnet

Maximum number of subnet per Root NE 64 subnet

Maximum number of NE’s per subnet 62 (Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.192)30 (Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.224)14 (Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.240)

For N+1 configuration, the default value of the PMC Usage isRegular CH. When adding new PMC’s the user must

individually alter the PMC usage for any additional PMC’sindividually in the MIU properties window.When changing the PMC Usage a warning message willappear. (i.e. when adding a new PMC on the existing systemthe new PMC should be labeled: Additional PMC.)

Total PMC >= 2

Line Concentrator RPMC Additional PMC

The additional PMC’s are in a fixed sequence. When deleting a PMC, the NetCfgToolj will first deletethe last PMC to have been added. This means you cannot add an additional PMC without deleting thePMC’s below it first.

Appendix C: Configurat ion of Dual Master MIU

At MIU (Line Concentrator) two ports, NMS port and DPU port are available. By defaultNetCfgToolj 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 dualmaster configuration, only 1 port can be assigned to NMS and 1 other port needs to be assignedto DPU. Otherwise, errors may occur when you run Create Configuration.

Configuration of dual master MIU is described (as illustrated in the example):

1. As illustrated in the figure below, place all theNE symbols in the workspace first, connectthem with MIU using BB line.

2. As shown in the figure above theconnections from No.002 and No.007

to No.001 are both assigned to NMSport. You need to use the LineProperties dialog box to convert one ofthe NMS ports into a DPU port asillustrated in the figure below.

Appendix D: Incorrect Configuration of MIU (Line Concentrator)

Setting up MIU (Line Concentrator) in a Multi-Drop configuration, please use DPU port on theMaster 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 theMulti-Drop, this is a correct configuration and configuring (Create Configuration) wouldbe possible.

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.

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 requiredto serve two different protocols, which is not possible.

Instead, SYNC (64kbps) IC is used for the connection.

PPP19.2 kbps

HDLC19.2 kbps

Appendix F: NMS Port Set ting of MIU (Line Concentrator / Hop)

If an MIU (Line Concentrator or Hop type) is included in your system configuration, please confirmthe 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 inPattern2.

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.



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 modeplease 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 “NMSPorts” 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 thatthe “Connect Port” setting for both NEs is “NMS” and that the “Mode” setting of one “NMSPort” is “RS485_TX” and the other is “RS485_RX” or vice versa. If the same mode is setto both NMS Ports, the NMS Ports cannot communicate, because the NMS Ports forboth NEs are internally connected by straight cable.

Appendix G: Incorrect Configurat ion 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 anetwork configuration where both Pasolink NEO and Pasolink Mx(BridgeNE)/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 isconnected to No. 005 via the EM1 connecting port and No. 007 is connected via the EM2, ifa hub were not used, a LAN connection with cross-cables would be necessary. Since, this isnot technically possible there is no other alternative to using a hub.

2. To change the port with which No.005 is connected to No.007, use the Line Propertiesdialog box. Please change the port of No.005 from (“EM2") to ("EM1").

When a hub is used for the Back-to-Back connection of NE, it is necessary to extend two or moreconnected 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 moreconnected lines from No.002 (Pasolink NEO).

Instead, it is necessary to change the connection mode shown on the screen (case 1) or tochange to a hub-less connection (case 2).

Appendix I: Incorrect Configurat ion of Pasolink NEO

When Pasolink NEO is connected with PNMS, it is not possible to have a network configurationwhere NE are connected via the “EM1” port to others (e.g. Pasolink NEO or Pasolink+).

1. Otherwise, (due to the Pasolink NEO connecting port “EM1”being used) the Create Configuration feature cannotfunction properly. As can be seen from the example below, No.001(Pasolink NEO) being connected to PNMS would be theRoot NE, and also No.001 being connected to No.003(Pasolink NEO) via its EM1 port. This would require thatNo.001which be connected to PNMS and No.003 via oneand the same port (“EM1”), which is technically impossible.Therefore, it would be necessary to use a differentconnecting port (“EM2”).

2. Use the Line Properties dialog box to change the port via which No.001 is connected withNo.003. Please change the port of No.001 from (“EM1") to ("EM2").

3. After changing the line setting, configuring (CreateConfiguration) will be possible (however, the display onthe screen does not change).

Appendix L: Restrict ions and l imitations of PASOLINK NEO NODAL

1. Interconnecting IDUs

- All IDU fixed line interconnections must be EM2 (NE) to EM 1 (NMS).For instance, in a four IDU configuration, EM1 and EM2 are used for NEO NODAL

Group Interconnections and are thus not available; but, EM1 of the top IDU and EM2 of the

bottom (end) IDU are available to be used.

The following example shows intermediate IDU #3 when it is E1-Tributary Only .E1-Tributary Only IDU does not have Port as Radio. Moreover, no Port is available tobe used, since, both EM1 and EM2 are already in use. Therefore, there is no Portconfiguration for IDU3.
