Litespan H2TU-C Installation and Maintenance Practice

OVERVIEW OF TL1 STRUCTURE

TL1 commands are used to perform administrative, maintenance, and provisioning tasks on
Litespan systems. Commands may be issued from a simple computer terminal (often referred
to as a craft interface), by a microcomputer running an appropriate terminal emulation
program, or by a higher level system capable of issuing TL1 commands in the proper format
(such as a Litecraft PC terminal, AMS, or other operations support system software).

TL1 Command Line Conventions

TL1 command description conventions are as follows:
• TL1 parameters are shown between angle parentheses, as in the example <AID>. This
shows the position of a value to be entered or data to be displayed in a retrieve.
• Colons shown between parameters are literal parameter separators; colons must be used
between parameter blocks if the string is to be typed out in command line mode.
• Commas are separators between values for similar parameters. Commas must be used
between parameter blocks if the string is to be typed out in command line mode.
• The minimum information needed to execute a command is the command name and all
required parameters and leading separators, terminated by a semicolon (;). A semicolon is
a command line terminator
• Parameters described as not supported are not used, and no value should be entered.
• Parameter values listed as not supported are reserved for future software releases.

Issuing TL1 Commands

TL1 commands may be issued in command line interface (CLI) mode by typing in the complete
command string, along with all parameter entries, or by using a system of "menu" displays
and option number entries. Menu entry is useful for the user who is learning TL1, and is
largely self-explanatory. Direct CLI mode entry is more concise. This tutorial focuses largely
on issuing commands through CLI mode.
The tables in this appendix provide detailed information on specific
TL1 commands. This information includes a description of the path
used to access a command via the menu system.

Command Line Interface Mode

A TL1 command can be issued from the (<) prompt by entering the command and all
parameter values on one line. This is known as entering a command in CLI mode. The system
does not prompt for parameter values in CLI mode; instead, the complete TL1 command string
is typed in as it is issued to the Litespan system.
TL1 uses four basic syntactical symbols, as follows:
B-2
