MLLN
 Wh a t is MLLN?
The MLLN is a Managed Leased Line Network s ys te m,
which ca n provide le a s e d line conne ctivity.
MLLN is ca pa ble of s upporting two type of le a s e d line .
1.P oint to P oint Circuit
2.P oint to Multi P oint Circuit
Ba ndwidth of a Ma na ge d Le a s e d Line ca n be 64Kbps or
n x 64 Kbps up to a ma ximum of 2Mbps .
The MLLN compris e s of the following building blocks
1. Digita l Cros s Conne ct (DXC)
2. Ve rs a tile MUltiple Xe r (VMUX)
3. Ne twork Te rmina tion Units (NTU)
4. Ne twork Ma na ge me nt S ys te m (NMS )
 MLLN Fe a tu re s
The MLLN is a n inte gra te d, fully ma na ge d, multi-s e rvice
digita l ne twork pla tform , through which s e rvice
provide rs ca n offe r a wide ra nge of s e rvice s a t a n
optima l cos t to Bus ine s s S ubs cribe rs .
Us ing the NMS , with powe rful dia gnos tics a nd
ma inte na nce tools , the MLLN ca n provide high-s pe e d

The NMS is ce ntra lly ma na ging a ll the e le me nts of

MLLN viz. Digita l Cros s Conne ct, VMUX a nd NTUs .
The NMS a llows the Ne twork ope ra tor to configure ,
P rovis ion, ma na ge a nd monitor a ll a s pe cts a nd
pa ra me te rs of the re mote e leme nts of the MLLN
without the ne e d of loca l inte rve ntion.
It is pos s ible to ma na ge the e ntire ne twork
from a ny s ingle loca tion.
NMS auto recognize any change of configuration of any
network element.
 Ne twork Ma na ge me nt S ys te m
Re -initia liza tion of the ne twork e le me nt s ha ll be pos s ible
from NMS .
NMS ha s the ca pa bility to configure the ba ndwidth on

NMS ha s the ca pa bility to a s s ign priority to the le a s e d
