TL1 Overview

TL1 Overview
The TimeProvider uses the TL1 syntax; this chapter and the TimeProvider TL1
Reference Guide describes command lines and responses. For a complete
description of the TL1 syntax, refer to Telcordia (Bellcore) Technical Reference
TR-NWT-00831 and TR-NWT-00833.

TL1 Command Structure

The TL1 commands you issue to the TimeProvider use the following structure:
verb-modifier:|tid|:|aid|:[<ctag>]::|<keyword>|=<value||;
where:
: (colon) is a block separator
, (comma) is a parameter field separator
; (semicolon) is the terminating character for commands and responses
[ ] (square brackets) indicate optional parameters
Adjacent colons indicate unused fields. If an unused field is the last parameter in the
list, for example the general block or the parameter block, you can omit the colon
and simply type the semicolon.
If you enter a space in the command string, the TimeProvider ignores it.
TL1 commands are not case-sensitive.
