[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.
