TL1 Overview

TL1 Response Format

Normal Response

For each TL1 command described in this chapter there is a normal response, an in-process response, or an error response. The TimeProvider response is always upper-case. The format of a normal response is:

<cr><lf><lf>

^^^sid^date^time<cr><lf>

M^ctag^COMPLD<cr><lf>

;

The time and date is in the Telcordia GR-833 format. A sample normal response is:

TIMEPROVIDER 03-08-28 11:23:54

M 1 COMPLD

;

In-Process Response

The TimeProvider sends an in-process response only if it cannot respond to the command within two seconds. The response terminates with a less-than character

(<)with no semicolon until after the TimeProvider sends the requested output response message. The format of the in-process message is:

<cr><lf><lf>

^^^sid^date^time<cr><lf>

IP^ctag<cr><lf>

<

A sample in-process response is:

TIMEPROVIDER 03-08-28 11:24:15 IP^2

<

Error Response

If you mis-type a command or issue an invalid command, the TimeProvider sends an error message. The format of the error response is:

<cr><lf><lf>

^^^sid^date^time<cr><lf>

M^ctag^DENY<cr><lf>

^^^<errcde><cr><lf>

;

A sample error message is shown below:

TIMEPROVIDER 08-28-03 11:32:12
