Open a TL1 Session Through Telnet
To communicate with the ONS NE using TL1 commands using a telnet session over a craft interface or
a LAN connection, you can choose from several ports.
•
•
•
Step 1
At the DOS prompt, type cmd and press Enter. (The same steps can also be done from a UNIX prompt).
Step 2
At the DOS command prompt type:
TELNET <NODE IP ADDRESS OR NODE NAME> <PORT NUMBER> and press Enter.
The Node IP address or Node Name refers to the IP address or Node Name of the node you want to
communicate with. Port number is the port (2361, 3082, or 3083) where TL1 commands are understood.
If the connection is successful, a screen opens with a prompt.
Step 3
Type the Activate User command to open a TL1 session:
ACT-USER:[<TID>]:<UID>:<CTAG>::<PID>;
Note
Type the Cancel User command to close a TL1 session:
Step 4
CANC-USER:[<TID>]:<USERID>:<CTAG>;
Open a TL1 Session Through Craft Interface
ONS 15454, ONS 15327 and ONS 15310-CL
The TCC2/TCC2P, XTC and 15310-CL-CTX cards have two built-in interface ports for accessing the
ONS 15454, ONS 15327 and ONS 15310-CL respectively. With one RJ-45 LAN connection you can
access the system using a standard browser interface. In the browser interface, you can perform local and
remote Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P) functions and open a
VT100 emulation window to enter TL1 commands. If a browser is not available, you can access the
system using a nine-pin RS-232 port. The RS-232 port supports VT100 emulation such that TL1
commands can be entered directly without a browser.
Connect the serial cable to the RS-232 port on the active TCC2/TCC2P, XTC or 15310-CL-CTX card.
Step 1
Configure the terminal emulation software (Hyperterminal):

Port number 3083 is a Telnet port that uses the telnet protocol and associated telnet escape
sequences.
Port number 2361 is an alternative telnet port.
Port number 3082 is a raw TCP/IP port; it will not echo and it will not prompt the user.
When the semicolon is typed, the command is issued immediately.
Terminal emulation = vt100
Bits per second = 9600
Parity = None
