TRANSACTION LANGUAGE 1 (TL1) INTERFACE DESCRIPTION

Summary: This TAD describes the commands used to operate the Soneplex Loop Extender through a terminal using Transaction Language 1 (TL1). All operations are performed at a local and/or remote terminal using an EIA-232 interface. For additional information on TL1 commands, refer to the Soneplex TL1 Interface Specification Manual, listed under Related Publications at the beginning of this manual, for more information.

Note: The TL1 interface is case-insensitive. All input commands are mapped to uppercase except for TID and CTAG. Size of input commands is limited to 512 bytes.

The following notational conventions are used throughout this TAD:

•cr — Carriage return

•lf — Line feed

•^ — Blank space

• YY-MM-DD— Year-Month-Day

•HH:MM:SS — Hour:Minute:Second

•... — Indicates zero or more repetitions of expression contained in brackets

•[ ] — One or more parameters contained in brackets are optional

•{ x }— Selection of one and only one of the listed parameters is allowed

•< > — Indicate names of parameters that will be replaced by parameter values in actual TL1 transactions

TL1 Command Syntax

Any user request is considered a command. Commands generally consist of five blocks:

<command block>:<routing block>:<access block>:<correlation block>:<data block(s)>;

The command block consists of commands, verbs, and modifiers separated by hyphens.

<command verb> - <modifier>[-<modifier>]

For example: The command block OPR-LPBK contains the command verb OPR (OPeRate) and the modifier LPBK (LooPBacK) to provide for the loopback function. The command block SET- ATTR-T1 contains the command verb SET, the modifier ATTR (ATTRibute), and the modifier T1 to provide the mechanism for setting attributes of a T1 circuit.
