1 INTRODUCTION
To provide reliable digital access links and fully exploit the potential of end-to-end advanced
networks, NEC has developed the iPASOLINK EX Advanced, 62.5MHz to 2,000MHz band
width point-to-point microwave relay system operating at radio frequency (RF) band of 71-86
GHz.
This system meets an increasing demand for digital transmission services and will satisfy the
needs for common carrier access links, private links, urban area networks, rural area
networks, temporary networks or emergency links for data and transmission.
The iPASOLINK EX Advanced offers very high performance with wide system flexibility, easy
to install, field proven reliability and cost effective but also robust and scalable to
accommodate future application and capacity needs.
The iPASOLINK EX Advanced system provides interface module types of Ethernet and
supports transmission rates of up to 10Gbps

- 3-
Various Ethernet / VLAN functions on the layer 2-based carrier network are provided in order
to enable high levels of network flexibility, robustness and “per service” control.
- VLAN function (VLAN table size: up to 2048 port-based VLAN, tag-based VLAN
(IEEE802.1Q), EPL, EVPL and ELAN services support with L2CP Tunneling function
- Filtering function
Enhanced QoS functions control finely tuned bandwidth and priority on a per-flow basis
without any impact on traffic forwarding performance to provide flexible and commercially
viable packet traffic.
- 4-
- High modulation scheme for native Ethernet transmission achieves high spectrum
efficiency.
- High system gain achieved by Forward Error Correction (FEC) technology and
distortion cancelling technique (linearizer) allowing smaller antennas and reducing
platform cost.
- 5-
Note: Maximum throughput at 64 byte VLAN tagged frame passed rate base.
These values are the total throughput including management and control frames.

5 APPLICATIONS
The MW radio products belonging to the iPASOLINK family are modular backhaul platforms
that integrate a comprehensive set of packet switching, features covering all applications -
from the tail to the metro backhaul through aggregation node.
- Amount of required bits for data service is much larger than those for voice and
significant bit-cost reduction is absolutely required.
- Transmission capacity per cell will increase significantly. This has to be improved while
considering that the available existing spectrum is limited and new spectrum would be
higher in frequency and cost.
The following might be a mandatory requirement to survive this highly competitive field:
With all these considered, it is clear that migration to all-packet mobile networks is the way
forward. However, current majority earnings are from 2G/3G CS voice service which can not
be replaced to LTE in a short period of time. All-IP migration strategy of existing 3GPP
Release-99 operators might be different from other mobile operators due to difference of
mobile architectures adopted.
- 7-
At iPASOLINK EX Advanced, the clock coming in from the radio port synchronizes all line
egress ports going out to the user side on that unit.
The iPASOLINK EX Advanced supports Synchronization Status Message (SSM) in the form
of DNU messaging per G.8264. SSM messages represent the quality level of the system
clocks located in the various network elements.

Web-based local craft terminal (LCT) is used locally to configure and monitor the iPASOLINK
Network Elements (NEs).
The PASOLINK Network Management System Java version (PNMSj) supports the
iPASOLINK Network Elements (NEs) as centralized Management System.
The PNMSj is located at a central or a regional operation center and enables network operators to
monitor and control the PASOLINK family network elements (NEs) using most Web browsers.
PNMSj provides a single access point from where to monitor and control an entire network in real time.
The PNMSj software contains overview maps of the network and its sub-networks to provide an easy,
single glance, overview of the entire network.
- 10-
The PASOLINK Management function is mounted on the iPASOLINK EX Advanced. It takes care of
the communication between the PASOLINK terminal and Network Management system. In addition, it
collects event and performance data from the PASOLINK equipment and stores it. They can
communicate with each other via one of the service channels to enable remote access to any
PASOLINK in a network from a single access point. Figure 7.1 shows the concept of NMS for
PASOLINK.
- 11-
The multiple level window structure provides easy guidance to pinpoint the PASOLINK station of
concern and subsequently the component of concern.
Starting with a map showing the sub-groups, followed by maps showing the various sub-group
configurations, an operator can find an overview window for any PASOLINK station quickly.
The event log window is incorporated in the PNMSj main window. The logs are displayed at the
bottom of the PNMSj screen.
The Alarm Information View is used to view the summary of current active alarms. This screen shows
the list of active alarm information of NEs belonging to the same group. The list also shows what
alarm severities are currently active in the NE and whether it has already been acknowledged or not.
The total count of current active alarms in each severity category is shown at the top of the main
window.
- 12-
7.2.8 Security
Users are registered by means of a login name and password.
To protect the network and network management system from unauthorized access or unauthorized
modifications, the privileges are assigned to the groups rather than to the individual user. A user will
have the privileges provided to the group where it belongs to.
Moreover, the control of network elements can be customized and provided only to specific groups.
This allows the administrator flexibility in assigning not only the PNMSj functions but also the control
and management of individual NE.
Lastly, users and groups created in PNMSj are internal to PNMSj only and do not correspond to
Windows users and groups.

8 SECURITY FEATURES
8.1 Access Control List (ACL) for management port
ACL is the list of permissions for user access and iPASOLINK supports standard and
extended Access Control List. By this function, undesirable packet are not transferred to the
management port and secured management system is achieved. The User can edit the list
based on the following items:
- Order Number
- Input Interface Name
- Output Interface Name
- Source IP Address and Network Prefix
- Destination IP Address and Network Prefix
- Protocol Type (TCP/UDP/ICMP)
- Source Protocol Port Number
- Destination Protocol Port Number
Two secure protocols, https and sftp functions are also supported. User can utilize https for Web-LCT
connection between iPASOLINK NEs, and SFTP protocol can utilize with EMS.
