 PNMS - GENERAL
PASOLINK NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PNMS) ENABLES REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF
PASOLINK RADIO NETWORKS.
THE PNMS IS A SOPHISTICATED SUPERVISORY TOOL FOR TRANSMISSION EQUIPMENT AND ALLOWS
OPERATOR TO PERFORM REMOTE MONITORING OF ALARMS, PERFORMANCE MONITOR AND CONTROL OF
REMOTE NEs.

THE SYSTEM IS BASED ON A PNMS COMPUTER AND A NUMBER OF REMOTE DATA PROCESSING NODES
CALLED PM CARDS. IT SUPERVISES AND CONTROLS PASOLINK TRANSMISSION EQUIPMENT.

PNMS PROVIDES CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF ALL PASOLINKs IN THE RADIO NETWORK.
