TID Multiplexing: TID Multiplexing Troubleshooting

TID Multiplexing Troubleshooting

If an OSS is not getting a response from an NE, it can send a TL1 retrieve header command (RTRV-HDR) to determine if the problem is with the NE or with AI296. The parent connection on AI296 responds to RTRV-HDRcommands that have the same TID as the one configured for the card.

Tip: For more information regarding TL1 commands, responses, and formats, refer to the Belcore document GR-833-CORE.

RTRV-HDR

This command is used primarily as an aliveness check.

Format

RTRV-HDR:[tid ]::ctag;

Parameters

tid	Defines the TID for AI296. Note that the TID and SID are the same.
ctag	Defines the correlation tag used to correlate responses to input commands.
	Each input command has a unique ctag . Maximum length is 6 characters.
	Responses include the identical ctag.

Normal Response Format

This example displays the format of the response that appears when RTRV-HDRis successfully executed:

<cr><lf><lf> <sp><sp><sp><SID><sp><YY-MM-DD><sp><HH:MM:SS><cr><lf> M<sp><sp><ctag><sp>COMPLD<cr><lf>;

Table 7-1 describes each of the items in the above response format.
