[transmit {idle-signal | path | test-signal}]
Configures the Maintenance Data Link (MDL)
message.
• eic string—Equipment identification code (up
to 10 characters), which is a value used to
describe a specific piece of equipment
according to ANSI T1.107-1995.
• fic string—Frame identification code (up to 10
characters), which is a value used to identify
where the equipment is located within a
building at a given location according to ANSI
T1.107-1995.
• generator string—Specifies the Generator
number string sent in the MDL Test Signal
message; can be up to 38 characters.
• lic string—Location identification code (up to
11 characters), which is a value used to
describe a specific location according to ANSI
T1.107-1995.

distinguished from path and test signal
messages in that it contains a port number as
its final data element.
• transmit path—Enables transmission of the
MDL path message. An MDL path message,
as defined by ANSI T1.107, is distinguished
from idle and test signal messages in that it
contains a facility identification code as its
final data element.
• transmit test-signal—Enables transmission
of the MDL test signal message. An MDL test
signal message, as defined by ANSI T1.107, is
distinguished from path and idle signal
messages in that it contains a generator
