<ctag> is the Correlation Tag, a 1 to 6 character alphanumeric
identifier that is echoed in the response message for the command.
<general block> is unused in this application and should be empty.
<parameter block> is a block that is used in many of the setup TL1
commands. There may be more than one parameter block. If there
is, they will be separated by a comma.
<keyword block> is a block that is used in TL1 Edit and RTRV
commands.
<state block> is unused in this application and should be empty.
The field separator character is a colon.
The terminator of a TL1 command is a semicolon (not a carriage
return). The terminator may be used after the last non-empty field
without supplying the remaining colon separators.
An example TL1 command is:
ACT-USER::username:::password;
This command initiates a TL1 session. The <verb> is “ACT,” its
modifier is “USER” separated by a dash. There is no <tid>, but its
field separator remains. The <aid> in this example is the login
username where the value was “username.” The <ctag> is optional
and was not used in this example, but the field separator remains.
There is no <general block>, but the field separator remains. The
<keyword block> in this example is the login password where the
value was “password.” The semicolon terminates the TL1
command. It is not necessary to maintain the field separator colon
for the <state block>, because the <keyword block> was the last
field used.
Refer to TL1 Commands on page 9-11 for a list of TL1 commands
supported by the MX2810.
