5.2 Setup Instructions
5.2.1 Requirements
To access the NOC-NEM interface:
• You must have either a dumb terminal or a computer with a terminal
emulator program.
• The terminal emulator program must be directed to a serial port with
a direct data link to the EMS NOC Comm port on a computer on
which EMS is running.
• The terminal port must be configured to a baud rate of 9600, with one
stop bit, no parity.
5.2.2 Procedure
To set up a connection, complete the following procedure:
1. Physically connect the computer to a direct data link to the EMS computer.
2. Assure that the EMS computer is running and that the EMS software is run-
ning.
3. Start the terminal emulator program.
4. Using the terminal emulator program, configure the serial port to 9600 baud,
one stop bit, no parity.
5. Using the terminal emulator program, open a window to the port just config-
ured.
6. Look for POST STATUS messages indicating the EMS computer is con-
nected and running.
7. Use the terminal or terminal emulator window to enter commands and view
the response messages returned in response to the commands.
8. For details on command format and to interpret the responses, refer to the fol-
lowing topics within this section of the manual.
NOC-NEM Interface Data Format
Element Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual
95
5.3 Data Format
The NOC-NEM language consists of two types of character strings: “commands”
and “response messages.” Commands are entered by the user to request NOC–
NEM to perform particular actions. Response messages are returned by NOC–
NEM to indicate its response to commands.
Usually, commands and response messages occur on a one-to-one basis, with a
response message returned for each command. In one case, the POST STATUS
message, NOC–NEM displays a response message without being asked to do so.
POST STATUS messages are displayed automatically at regular intervals if not
turned off by the user.
5.3.1 Command Format
All NOC–NEM commands have common features. Below is an example of a
NOC–NEM command.
DEMS PineIslandTower SET RECORD 30:00
These features include:
• The letters DEMS, which begin every command.
• Use of spaces to separate word-like components or numbers.
• Case-sensitivity, with command name (SET RECORD) in upper case.
• Parameter values such as, in this example, 30:30, denoting a record
time interval of 30 minutes and 30 seconds.
All commands are entered by pressing the Enter key or equivalent key on the
computer or terminal keypad. The emulation program should send “Line Feed”
(LF) characters when the enter key is pressed.
5.3.2 Response Message Format
Every NOC-NEM command, when entered, evokes a response message. Below is
an example of a response message for a command that was rejected for some
reason.
1130 23-Mar-01 DEMS(35 Host.11)GracesFood GET ALARMSUMMARY \
REJECTED \
END
POST STATUS Message Section 9
Element Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual
96
5.4 POST STATUS Message
At a regular time interval, the NOC-NEM interface queries each network element
and displays the current status information for that network element. The resulting
unsolicited display is called a POST STATUS message.
The interval at which POST STATUS messages are displayed can be specified
by the user for a particular network element or for all network elements. NOC-
NEM also displays a POST STATUS message whenever an alarm state occurs
on any network element or whenever any network element undergoes a change in
state (for example, from major-alarmed to not alarmed).
The SET POST command is used to define the time interval at which POST
STATUS messages are displayed for a network element. The time interval can be
set to zero to turn off the POST STATUS message.
5.5 Commands
This topics contains descriptions of all NOC-NEM commands.
5.5.1 GET CATALOG
This command can be used to determine which network elements are currently
connected to EMS. For each, the command gives site name and site number.
To get a list of all connected network elements
1. Enter the following:
DEMS ALL GET CATALOG
2. Look for a response in the following format:
Apr 3, 2003 12:52:02 PM DEMS ALL GET CATALOG
Apr 3, 2003 12:52:02 PM: DEMS ALL GET SiteName \
(35)EmbarrassMinn & (34)IntlFalls & 11 \
(37)Askov & (36)Tower & 12 \
END
END
3. Interpret the response as follows:
• Each line (after header) represents one host/remote pair.
NOC-NEM Interface Commands
Element Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual
97
• Host is listed first, then remote.
• Values given, in order, are: host node number and host site name,
remote node number and remote site name, and site number (one per
host remote pair).
Below is an example of a single line returned:
(37)Askov & (36)Tower & 12 \
In this example:
•
(37) is the host node number, Askov is the host site name
•
(36) is the remote node number, Tower is the remote site name
•
12 is the site number for this host/remote pair
NOTE: You cannot enter this command for a network element. If you try to, EMS
will send back a REJECTED message such as shown below:
1130 23-Mar-01 DEMS GracesFood GET CATALOG \

5.5.2 GET ALARMSUMMARY
This command can be used to display a summary of all alarm indicators in
network elements currently known to EMS. For each alarm indicator, the possible
values are Green (no alarm), Yellow (minor alarm), or Red (major alarm).
To get a summary of all current alarms
1. Enter the following:
DEMS ALL GET ALARMSUMMARY
2. Look for a response like this:
Apr 3, 2003 1:10:11 PM: DEMS ALL GET AlarmSummary \

END
Commands Section 9
Element Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual
98
3. Interpret the response as follows:
• Each line (after header) represents one host/remote pair.
• Host is listed first, then remote. In the above example, the host is
identified as (35 Host.11) EmbarrassMinn. The numeric
values in parentheses are the node number and site number. Host and
remote share the same site number.
• Values given will be one of the following:
•Red = one or more major alarms exist. A major alarm places the identified
unit in standby operating mode (stopping RF functions).
•Yellow = one or more minor alarms exist at the network element. A
minor alarm allows the unit to continue functioning in normal mode.
•Green = no alarms exist at the network element.
NOTE: You cannot enter this command for a network element. If you try to, EMS
will send back a REJECTED message such as shown below:
Apr 4, 2003 9:33:02 AM: DEMS (39 Host.13)Askov GET ALARM SUM-
MARY \
REJECTED (SUMMARY was not found) \
END
5.5.3 GET SITENAME
This command can be used to determine the site name of a network element (host
or remote) identified by node number. It can also be used to list the site names for
all network elements currently connected to EMS.
To determine the site name of a network element
1. Enter a command in the following format
DEMS Node_Number GET SITENAME
where Node_Number is the Host Node or Remote Node value (as displayed
in the Maintenance interface View Catalog window) of the network element
that you want to query. Use Node_Number = ALL to list all site names.

information, and writes the status information to the system log file. The status
information includes all parameter values and all alarm states.
The time interval for any network element can be changed using a SET RECORD
command. EMS also writes a status report into the log file whenever any alarm
changes in state (for example, from Green to Red). An entry remains in this
file until the age of the entry in days is the “trim time” value plus one. “Trim time”
is a user-set value (for more information, refer to Topic 3.5 on page 32).
The log file is the source of the information displayed in response to GET
PLAYBACK commands. By default EMS writes to the log file for each network
element periodically per a system default period or optionally per the period
defined by a user using a SET RECORD command.
NOTE: The SET RECORD time interval can be set to zero, causing no records to
be kept. If no records are kept, then the POST MESSAGE and GET PLAY-
BACK functions will yield no information because there will be no information
available to be retrieved.
To determine the current intervals for creating records
1. Enter a command in the following format
DEMS Site_Name GET RECORD
(or)
DEMS Node_Number GET RECORD
where Site_Name is the site name of the network element and
Node_Number is the Host Node or Remote Node value (as displayed in
the Maintenance interface View Catalog window). Use Site_Name = ALL
to query all network elements at the same time.
2. Look for a response like this
1130 23-Mar-01 DEMS(37 Host.12)GracesFood GET RECORD \
10:00
END
where 10:00 indicates a recording time interval of ten minutes and zero sec-
onds.

This command can be used to set the time interval (minutes and seconds) at which
NOC-NEM will query for network element status and write the information to a
log file. (For a more thorough explanation, see the description for the GET
RECORD command, above.) The log file is the source of the information returned
in response to GET PLAYBACK commands.
NOTE: You can set the SET RECORD time interval to zero, causing no records
to be kept. If no records are kept, POST MESSAGE and GET PLAYBACK will
provide no information because no information will be available to be retrieved.

pair to function normally. Reported by
the host/remote pair to EMS to notify
the user that such a state exists.
A-bis interface: Interface used in
Digivance SDR systems to connect a
BTS server to an upstream device. In
EMS, it is a packet-switching interface
using Voice Over Internet Protocol.
Attenuation: By definition, a function
that lessens the strength of a signal. In
EMS, attenuation can be used to adjust
the strength of the forward path analog
signal transmitted from the remote unit
antenna.An increment of +/- 1 in the
attenuation parameter value results in a
+/- 1 dBm adjustment in the signal
level.

power consumption is minimized.
Standby mode occurs only due to a user
request and can be turned off by the
user to return the host unit to a Normal
operating mode.
Synthesizer: Host/remote function that
synthesizes an RF signal. There are four
synthesizers: primary forward, primary
reverse, secondary reverse, and
reference.
STM: See Spectrum Transport
Module.
Test Mode: One of the four operating
