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 running.
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 configured.
6. Look for POST STATUS messages indicating the EMS computer is connected 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 following topics within this section of the manual.

5.3
Data Format
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.

Element Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual
POST STATUS Message
5.4
Section 9
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. NOCNEM 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

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 PLAYBACK 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

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
