Appendix D – TL1 Alarms and Commands
TL1 Commands and Alarm:
TL1 stands for "Transaction Language 1." The MP1 supports TL1 alarm messaging for all alarms being sent out.
When an Alarm Point becomes active, the system will generate an alarm. The alarm will be sent using SNMP,
SMTP (Email) and/or TL1 depending on how the MP1 is configured. TL1 alarms assumes the receiving system has
established a Telnet session to either the standard IP telnet port or the port number defined in the TL1 Port setup
(see section 8.1.4). In addition to sending TL1 autonomous alarm messages, the MP1 will respond to the following
read only commands:
RTRV-HDR:
The RTRV-HDR command is used to retrieve the system identification which is configured in the System Site
Configuration (see section 8.1.1). The command format is as follows:
RTRV-HDR:<TID>::<CTAG>;
TID Target identifier (the first ID line). This can be omitted on direct connect.
CTAG Correlation tag. Used to match the response to the command with who sent the command
Examples:
Command: RTRV-HDR:::K;
Response: MONITOR 19-10-23 09:57:37
M K COMPLD
;
Command: RTRV-HDR:MP1_MONITOR::K;
Response: MONITOR 19-10-23 09:57:37
M K COMPLD
;
RTRV-ALM:
The RTRV-ALM command is used to review active alarms. By issuing the command, the MP1 will show all currently
active alarms. The format for RTRV-ALM command is as follows:
RTRV-ALM-<TYPE>:<TID>::<CTAG>;
Where:
TYPE
ALL Will show all active alarms.
EQPT Will show active equipment alarms.
ENV Shows active environmental alarms.
