WANDL — Third-Party Interface
This chapter describes how to use the Third-Party Interface (TPI) Conversion Plug-in, and contains the
following sections:
• Translating Between NMT and WANDL Formats
–
Converting NMT Configuration Files into WANDL Files
–
Converting WANDL Files into NMT .cnf Files
TPI translates NMT .cnf files to and from WANDL files. Figure 10-1 Figure 10-1 provides a high-level
illustration of this process. If the design begins in NMT, all parameter values are preserved during the
return from the WANDL design. If the design begins in WANDL, the tpi2nmt command assumes
defaults and NMT catches unsupported settings.
The WANDL design tool bbdsgn can further optimize the network transmission requirements and costs.
For more information on WANDL design tools, contact customer service or visit the WANDL website

Translating Between NMT and WANDL Formats
This section describes how to translate between NMT and WANDL network design formats on your Sun
workstation. The NMT WANDL file translation can be done in NMT or from the UNIX Command Line
Interface (CLI).
