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. Table 2 shows some examples of actions, categories, and
commands that apply to the Cisco ONS 15454, ONS 15327, ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15310-MA, and
ONS 15600. For a complete listof categories, commands and autonomous messages, refer to the Cisco
ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide.
In the “Ten Basic Commands” section on page 11, there are ten commands listed in detail to help get
you started entering TL1 commands.
