SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF UMG8900

Chapter 5 The OAM System

The M2000 NMS includes M2000 Server and M2000 Client. More than one M2000
Client can be used. The LMT is loosely coupled with integrated NM; the former is
responsible for special management of the UMG8900 while the latter is responsible for
device public management such as all network devices topology management and
troubleshooting.

5.1.3 Command Line

The system provides not only graphical interface-based operation and maintenance
but also MML command. The MML command can be used to implement data
configuration, routine operation and maintenance management.
MML is an interactive interface between machine and man, which is based on ITU
Z.301-Z.341 series. MML provides commands to operate and query the UMG8900.
Using the commands, users can monitor and manage the UMG8900 over all networks.
MML has the following features:
l

Encapsulation: services of the UMG8900 encapsulated with MML commands.

One command corresponds to one function other than a simple operation. For
example, adding an IP address for an IP interface, several steps can be integrated
through MML commands so as to improve efficiency.

Consistence check: data consistency check is performed by MML system. The

relationship between tables is checked when the function is executed to prevent
rubbish data.

Conversion: MML commands are equivalent to the lower layer Application

Program Interface (API), and all other applications are built on it. GUI terminal
translates operations of user interface into commands and then transmits them to
MML system to implement execution and returning text. The result in graphical
interface converts to proper output. In this way, the system stabilities can be
ensured. The system running will not be affected by program problems.

Interactive: input and output of MML system based on pure character string
support interaction between Telnet and devices. It is easy for client to cross over
several platforms (for example, support dump terminal without processing
capability). This brings convenience to integrated network management, which
represents the development trend in communications products.

In the MML graphical interface, you can perform historical commands selecting and key
word searching. These functions make it easy to choose the needed commands.
For special command parameters, there is a prompt for parameters input. You can also
input a parameter through drop box, check box and so on to facilitate users.
