Purpose
This document illustrates the use of the NetCfgTool. The explanation focuses on the common functions of the NetCfgTool and therefore is for general-purpose operation use. Moreover, the NEC PNMS is also described in passing for the users to have a general idea of the NEC PASOLINK NMS.

4. The ensuing window, Network Address window, allows you to modify the default subnet by either changing the Network Address or the Subnet mask that will 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 on 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 172.18.0.64 with subnet mask 255.255.255.192 was given to the selected network, NetCfgTool will allocate IP address 172.18.0.65-126 to this network. Note that in this example 62 IP addresses were assigned and 2 were assigned for network address (172.18.0.64) and broadcast address (172.18.0.127). Click on [OK] to apply 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 apply the new subnet. (NOTE: The registrable number of network address and subnet mask setting is up to 5.) 5. Click on [OK] button to apply the new settings.

Editing Workspace
Adding a New Network Element (NE) The NetCfgTool supports Pasolink V3, Pasolink V4, Pasolink-S, MIU, Pasolink Mx and Pasolink+ network configurations. Therefore a network element can either be a Pasolink V3, Pasolink V4, Pasolink S, MIU or Pasolink Mx, Pasolink+. Note that Pasolink-S, Pasolink V3 and Pasolink V4 or Pasolink Mx and Pasolink+ share the same configuration. To add a new NE: icon in the tool bar or click on Edit Network Element Type from the main 1. Click on menu to add a network element. Select the type of NE that you would like to add from the pull-down list. Pasolink V3 is selected by default.
2. Click on the location on the current workspace where you want to add the NE. 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 2.8.2 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 with 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 branching Line (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 hardware limitation of the PMC.

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. To allow the network designer to differentiate the various types of connection the NetCfgTool uses color-coded lines.
The following lists the color codes used by the NetCfgTool to represent the different back-to-back connection types.
