1 Getting Started
1.1 Introduction
The PNMT is a Pasolink Network Management Terminal developed by NEC for
management of NEC’s Pasolink radio transmission network and associated plan. 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 repots, and archive data, all within a familiar graphical user
interface, and all in real time. The PNMT is a Mobile laptop computer fitted with NEC PNMT
software package that interfaces and controls NEC PASOLINK series short haul radio
equipment. Moreover, PNMT can control and monitor NEC radio equipment
(2500S/2600S/2000S/3000S/3500S) types except for PASOLINK series and other
manufacture’s equipment by using MIU(Management Interface Unit).
This Windows-NT/98® based software package remote monitors and controls the status
and configuration of an entire Network Element network with associated equipment as well
as the performance of the actual microwave links.

1.3.1 Communications
Communications between the PNMT and the radio network equipment can be via the
PNMT Port of the MIU equipment, via the PM network to a remote PM node in the
network.
