QUICK START GUIDE Cisco ONS SONET TL1 for Beginners, Release 9.
What is TL1? TL1 Message Types and Examples Connect to TL1 Log Into TL1 Command Actions and Categories Ten Basic Commands Log Out of TL1 Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
b. Get information—Some TL1 commands get information or request information be returned from the NE. Example: RTRV-ALM-ALL to show the current status of all active alarm conditions c. Response message—The response portion of a command message correlates to a particular request message. If a command is successful, the NE sends a response message containing the COMPLD code.
Connect to TL1 The first step in using TL1 is to connect to TL1. You only have to connect to TL1 one time per session. A session is a related set of communication transactions between two or more network devices. There are three ways to connect to TL1: via CTC, telnet, or craft interface. Perform one of the following procedures to connect to TL1. Launch CTC and Open a TL1 Session Step 1 From the PC connected to the ONS node, start Netscape or Internet Explorer.
Note Port number 3082 is a raw TCP/IP port; it is not an interactive port and is not recommended for use as an alternate telnet port. 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 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.
Step 4 You are ready to log into TL1. Follow the steps in the “Log Into TL1” section on page 7. ONS 15600 The TSC card has one RJ-45 port of the faceplate. The RJ-45 port allows you to access the system using a standard web browser. You must use the RJ-45 port on the active TSC. While using the web browser, you can perform local and remote Operations, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning (OAM&P) functions.
Log Into TL1 Once you have connected to TL1, you must log into TL1 in order to issue commands. Logging into TL1 only has to be done once per session. Step 1 Issue the ACT-USER command: Input Format: ACT-USER:[]::[::]; • TID is the name of the node you want to access. If you only want to query the node you connected to leave the TID blank. • UID is your user ID. UID can be up to 10 characters. • CTAG is any non-blank character series that does not have to be unique.

• To retrieve all alarms on a specific DS1 port see RTRV-ALM-T1, page 14. • To retrieve all conditions on a specific DS1 port see RTRV-COND-T1, page 15. • To retrieve all alarms on a system see RTRV-ALM-ALL, page 16. • To retrieve all conditions on a system see RTRV-COND-ALL, page 17. • To retrieve actual PM values on a DS1 port see RTRV-PM-T1, page 19. • To retrieve the thresholds in place for a DS1 port see RTRV-TH-T1, page 20. • To create a loopback see OPR-LPBK-T1, page 21.
• TACC defines the STS as a test access port with a selected unique TAP number. The TAP number is in the range of 0, 1–999. When TACC is 0 (zero), the TAP is deleted. • TAPTYPE is the test access point type. Values are DUAL or SINGLE. • SOAK is IS-AINS to IS transition soak time as measured in 15 minute intervals, so a value of 4 translates to a soak time of 1 hour. The allowable range is 0–192 intervals (maximum of 48 hours). • SFBER identifies port SFBER; valid values are 1E-3, 1E-4 or 1E-5.
