What type of PCs is required for a trading terminal? |
Pentium IV or above with 256 Mb RAM. HDD Min. free space 2Gb.Windows 2000 Professional
with service pack 4. |
| II.e |
Network equipment |
What type of equipments is required to be procured for leased Circuit data Connectivity ? |
- 64 kbps MLLN Leased Line Modem.
- Cisco 1721(10/100 T) modular router with 2 WAN slots. V.35 cable, DTE Male to
smart serial-10 feet
- 2-port serial WAN interface card & 1 port ISDN BRI S/T port.
- Cisco 1721 IOS IP/ADSL plus IPSEC3DES,IOS IP/ADSL plus IPSEC3DES,IOS
Version 12.(15) ZL for multicast.

| II.f |
Linkages to more than one Exchange |
Whether the existing leased line (linking to BSE or NSE) could be utilized for NMCE connectivity ? |
Where a router provides for connecting multiples 64 kb ports, termination of multiple
64 kb link would be technically feasible. However,
- it is recommended to have a separate router, Switch/Hub for each exchange
- prior CUG approval would be required from DoT for interconnecting multiple networks on a single router, For trading,
dedicated terminals would be required.
