Transaction Language 1 (TL1) is a set of ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)-based instructions, or messages, that an operations support system (OSS) uses to manage a network element (NE) and its resources.
M 123 COMPLD ; If a command fails, the NE sends an error response which includes the DENY code and may or may not contain an error message.
The following list shows standard responses: COMPLD—Completed DENY—TL1 command failed PRTL—Partially successful response. The requested action can be completed for some of the specified AIDs but not for all of them. RTRV—The response is successful but is lengthy and is being returned in multiple parts. Each part has a RTRV response code, but the final response has a COMPLD response code. d. Response acknowledgment—Responses may also include intermediate acknowledgment messages.
3 Connect to TL1 The first step in using TL1 is to connect to TL1. You only have to connect to TL1 one time per session. A session is a related set of communication transactions between two or more network devices. There are three ways to connect to TL1: via CTC, telnet, or craft interface. Perform one of the following procedures to connect to TL1. Launch CTC and Open a TL1 Session Step 1 From the PC connected to the ONS node, start Netscape or Internet Explorer.
Telnet to Open a TL1 Session To communicate with the ONS NE using TL1 commands using a telnet session over a craft interface or a LAN connection, you can choose from several ports. • Port number 3083 is a telnet port that uses the telnet protocol and associated telnet escape sequences. • Port number 2361 is an alternative telnet port. • Port number 3082 is a raw TCP/IP port; it will not echo and it will not prompt the user. Step 1 At the DOS prompt, type cmd and press Enter.
Step 2 Configure the terminal emulation software (Hyperterminal): a. Terminal emulation = vt100 b. Bits per second = 9600 c. Parity = None d. Stop BITS = 1 e. Flow control = None Step 3 Press Enter. An angle bracket prompt (>) appears. Step 4 You are ready to log into TL1. Follow the steps in the “Log Into TL1” section on page 8. ONS 15600 The TSC card has one RJ-45 port of the faceplate. The RJ-45 port allows you to access the system using a standard web browser.
• If you are using a UNIX workstation, connect from X-windows or the terminal using the tip command: tip -9600 /dev/ttyb (or ttya depending on where serial cable is connected) Step 4 Press Enter. A > prompt appears. Step 5 You are ready to log into TL1. Follow the steps in the “Log Into TL1” section on page 8. 4 Log Into TL1 Once you have connected to TL1, you must log into TL1 in order to issue commands. Logging into TL1 only has to be done once per session.
5 Command Actions and Categories When you have connected and logged into a TL1 session, you are ready to begin issuing TL1 commands and autonomous messages. TL1 commands and autonomous messages can be used to accomplish a variety of actions. Determining the correct command or autonomous message you need begins with identifying what action you want to perform. The first part of every command and autonomous message helps identify the action that command or autonomous message performs as shown in Table 1.
To further determine which command or autonomous message you need, identify what category the action applies to (i.e. BLSR, Cross Connections). In the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide, commands and autonomous messages are categorized based on the area of the NE that they effect. For example, if you want to create, edit, or delete a cross-connection, you will find the available commands in the Cross Connections category.
6 Ten Basic Commands This section lists ten basic commands to help you get started. You must be connected and logged into a TL1 session. After you issue a command, confirm you receive a COMPLD response to indicate the command was completed successfully. Note If you receive a DENY response, first check the syntax you entered for accuracy. If you entered the command correctly, refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide for more information about that particular command and its components.
