Note that the LCT port can also used for pinging the NMS server using the standard PC settings for local
management, i.e. using the local IP address given by the DHCP server of the LCT port.
NE Branch Setting – If the network elements are in a different subnet than the NMS port or if the NMS port
or NE1 port is used for connecting another subnet then the element is configured as a router. Two or more
Bridges (Bridge1, Bridge2 etc) are configured, these are the ports of the internal router, each having an
address within a different subnet.
Default Gateway. This is the gateway port of the elements' subnet that is used to access the NMS server. In
the root element where the NMS port is in a different subnet, it is the IP address of the nearest DCN router
where the NMS port is connected. In such a subnet the normal element default gateway is the root
element Bridge1 address (it is the nearest router for those elements). Element setting.
Bridge: if the element uses two or more branches (i.e. the element acts as a router), the NMS port is
Bridge2 and the modem is Bridge1. Note that the PNMSj server is looking for network elements in the
Bridge1 subnet. Element setting.
Bridge No., using the link 01 Bridge 1 i.e. modem IP address is set according to the instructions of the DCN
designer who manages the addresses. Using the link 02 Bridge 2 i.e. the NMS port address is set, etc.
Element setting.
NE1 or NMS or MODEM: the link is used to select the Bridge number assigned to that port. First set up the
IP addresses for the bridges and then select the bridge number for each port.
M-Plane Bandwidth Limitation: use "Disable", unless otherwise instructed. This setting limits the
management traffic in the radio, if necessary, to provide more capacity to the user traffic. Default setting.
M-Plane Priority: Default: QoS = 7, which means that management traffic has the highest priority. Default
setting.
NMS Port Setting : In the root element, select "Connect NMS port to NMS" = "Yes". Default setting for the
root element.
In non-root elements select "Connect NMS port to NMS"= "No". Element setting. Note: if there is a Pasolink
NEO cluster behind the iPasolink cluster connected to the NMS port, select "Connect NMS port to NMS" =
"Yes" for that element.
LCT Port Setting
Restrict LCT Connection: Select "Any". LCT port can access the whole network ("Local" would prevent the
management of other elements than the local IDU). Default setting.
Equipment Setup -> Network Management Setting -> Routing Setting
There should be no need to change these settings. 0.0.0.0 associated with the Default Gateway IP address
should be automatically listed. Default setting.
