1 Getting Started
1.1 Introduction
The PNMT is a computer-based PASOLINK Network Management Terminal system
developed by NEC for management of NEC’s PASOLINK wireless transmission network.
The PNMT is a scaled down version of PASOLINK Network Management System (PNMS)
that is designed as a maintenance tool for field engineers to locally and remotely monitor
alarms, control points, generate reports, and archive data, all within a familiar graphical user
interface, and all in real time. Throughout this manual, “the PNMT” generally refers to the
mobile laptop computer in which the NEC PNMT software package (that interfaces and
controls NEC PASOLINK series short haul wireless equipment) is installed in.
This software package remotely monitors and controls the status and configuration of an
entire PASOLINK network with associated equipment as well as the performance of the
actual microwave links.

The PNMT and the Control (CTRL) Module mounted in the IDU must be connected using a
standard USB cable (the Type A plug is fitted into the Type A socket of the PNMT computer
and the Type B plug is fitted into the Type B socket of the LCT Port on the IDU Control
[CTRL] Module)
The LCT port has the following specifications:
• Connector type: USB Type B (female)
• Bit per second rate: 1200/2400/4800/9600/19200 (default 19200)
• Stop bits: 1
• Data bit length: 8
• Parity: no parity

NOTE
Connect the PNMT cable 30 seconds after IDU's power
is ON and make sure that the PNMT cable is connected
between USB port of the PNMT computer and the LCT
port of the IDU.
NOTE
Please do not change the clock settings of your computer once
PNMT has started.

2.3 Login
Users are registered by means of login name and password.
To protect the network and network management system from unauthorized access or
unauthorized modifications, five levels (refer to the table shown in section 2.3.1 User Access
Level Privilege) of users are defined with different privileges. The functions available in the
window depend on the user’s access level. Therefore, some of the functions may or may not
be carried out.
The highest level or administrator level (Admin) has full access to the network and network
management system.
To login:
1. Start PNMT, and then Login window appears.
