Equipment and Port Configuration Modem Line Ports (MLP)
Modem Line Ports (MLP)
ML systems modem line ports (MLP) provide synchronous full-duplex DSL transmission
over a single twisted pair. A number of MLPs (up to 2, 4 or 8 - model dependent) are bonded
together to form an HSL (High Speed Link).
The MLP definitions are usually performed during the installation procedure as part of the
preliminary configuration. Additional parameters may be defined as well.
MLPs may be added to an HSL regardless of the calibration state of the HSL and it is not
required to recalibrate the HSL each time MLPs are added or removed. However, for optimal
performance, it is recommended to calibrate the HSL after changes.
MetaASSIST View provides several panes with various MLP monitoring and analysis
options.
MLP Workspace
Several views are available for MLP configuration, monitoring and analysis. Each view has a
dedicated set of monitoring and configuration buttons, where some of the options are
common to the different views (the left pane in each view shows how the view is accessed):
MLP Glance View - lists all the MLPs and their attributes in tabular format. In addition,
the pane allows performing GROUP operations by selecting a number of MLPs on which
the desired configuration or control operations will be performed. The column heading
fields are described in Modem Ports in HSL (MLP Details) (on page 13-45).
The following buttons are available:
Init / View / View All/ Configure / Configure Threshold Performance Monitoring
(PM) (on page 13-12)
View Spectral Details (on page 13-51) - provides detailed spectral information.
Details (on page 13-45) - shows detailed information on the selected MLPs
Configure Alarms (on page 13-10) - alarm configuration for the selected MLPs
