message.

 

 

 

[transmit {idle-signal path test-signal}]

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.

 

 

 

 

pfi string—Specifies the Path Facility

 

 

 

 

Identification Code sent in the MDL Path

 

 

 

 

message; can be up to 38 characters.

 

 

 

 

port string—Specifies the Port number string

 

 

 

 

sent in the MDL Idle Signal message; can be

 

 

 

 

up to 38 characters.

 

 

 

 

unit string—Unit identification code (up to 6

 

 

 

 

characters), which is a value that identifies the

 

 

 

 

equipment location within a subslot according

 

 

 

 

to ANSI T1.107-1995.

 

 

 

 

transmit idle-signal—Enables transmission

 

 

 

 

of the MDL idle signal message. An MDL idle

 

 

 

 

signal message, as defined by ANSI T1.107, is

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

number as its final data element.
