Cisco ONS 15454 SDH TL1 for Beginners
1 What is TL1?
Transaction Language 1 (TL1) is a set of ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)-based instructions, or messages, that an operations support system (OSS) uses to manage a network element (NE) and its resources. TL1 provides a standard set of messages that can be used for communicating between operating systems and NEs, and personnel and NEs.
2 TL1 Message Types and Examples
There are two main types of standards-defined TL1 messages: command/responses and autonomous messages.
1. Command/Responses—These are initiated by a user and provide two parts: a request to the NE to set or get information, and a response from the NE containing completion or status codes and requested information. Request, or input messages are used to issue the request portions of command messages to the NE. Command messages are often referred to as command/response messages, where the request portion is an input message (OSS to NE) and the response portion is an output message (NE to OSS).
a. Set information—The simplest type of messages are those that set information or instruct the NE to perform an action and return only a result with no data in the response:
Example: ENT-CRS-<VC_PATH> to create an VC cross-connection
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.
Example:
SV192-DATA-461 2003-08-05 10:35:17M 123 COMPLD
;
If a command fails, the NE sends an error response which includes the DENY code and may or may not contain an error message.
Example:
sv192-DATA-461 2003-08-05 10:35:17M 123 DENY
;
The following list shows standard responses:
COMPLD—Completed
DENY—TL1 command failed
PRTL—Partially successful response. The requested action can be completed for some of the specified AIDs but not for all of them.
RTRV—The response is successful but is lengthy and is being returned in multiple parts. Each part has a RTRV response code, but the final response has a COMPLD response code.
d. Response acknowledgment—Responses may also include intermediate acknowledgment messages. Brief messages that update the user as to the status of a given command are called acknowledgments. When a command has been sent to the NE and the NE will take longer than two seconds to respond, the NE sends an acknowledgment message to be followed later by the full response. The Cisco ONS 15454 SDH supports only the IP response.
Example: IP 123
>The following list shows standard acknowledgment codes:
IP—In progress
2. Autonomous events—These messages are used to report alarms, configuration changes or condition changes. Many of these messages, such as those relating to alarm conditions, are spontaneously triggered by the NE itself without intervention. Other messages, such as those relating to the reporting of periodic condition states or performance data values are scheduled by the NE user via other commands. Because you do not issue autonomous messages to the NE, they do not include input formats or input examples.
Example: REPT-ALM
For information on specific command and autonomous message syntax, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH TL1 Command Guide.
3 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 15454 SDH, start Netscape or Internet Explorer.
Step 2 Enter the IP address of the node you want to communicate with in the Netscape or Internet Explorer Web address (URL) field.
Step 3 Log into the CTC. The IP address at the title bar should match the IP address of the node you entered in Step 2.
Step 4 Once logged into the CTC, there are two ways to open a TL1 session:
•Click Tools > Open TL1 Connection, or
•Click on the Open TL1 Connection buttonon the toolbar.
Step 5 From the Select Node dialog box choose the node you want to communicate with.
Step 6 Click OK.
A TL1 interface window opens. There are three sub-windows in the TL1 interface window: Request History, Message Log/Summary Log, and TL1 request. Type commands in the TL1 request window. You will see responses in the Message log window. The Request History window allows you to recall previous commands by double-clicking on them.
Step 7 Verify that the Connect button is selected (grayed out).
Step 8 You are ready to log into TL1. Follow the steps in the "Log Into TL1" section.
Telnet to Open a TL1 Session
To access TL1 commands in a telnet session over a craft interface or a LAN connection (TCC2/TCC2P card front panel or backplane pins) you can choose from several ports. Port number 3082 is a raw TCP/IP port; it will not echo and it will not prompt the user. Port number 3083 is a telnet port that uses the telnet protocol and associated telnet escape sequences. Port number 2361 is supported for backward compatibility with earlier releases and has the same behavior as Port 3083 (telnet port). Use the following procedure with PCs running Windows operating systems.
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 <NODE IP ADDRESS OR NODE NAME> <PORT NUMBER> 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. Port number is the port (2361, 3082, or 3083) where TL1 commands are understood. If the connection is successful, a screen opens with a prompt.
Step 3 You are ready to log into TL1. Follow the steps in the "Log Into TL1" section.
Use a Craft Interface to Open a TL1 Session
The TCC2/TCC2P card has two built-in interface ports for accessing the ONS 15454 SDH. With one RJ-45 LAN connection you can access the system using a standard browser interface. In the browser interface, you can perform local and remote Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P) functions and open a VT100 emulation window to enter TL1 commands. If a browser is not available, you can access the system using a nine-pin RS-232 port. The RS-232 port supports VT100 emulation which allows TL1 commands to be entered directly without a browser.
Step 1 Connect the serial cable to the RS-232 port on the active TCC2/TCC2P card.
Step 2 Configure the terminal emulation software (Hyperterminal):
a. Terminal emulation = vt100
b. Bits per second = 9600
c. Parity = None
d. Stop BITS = 1
e. Flow control = None
Step 3 Press Enter. An angle bracket prompt (>) appears.
Step 4 You are ready to log into TL1. Follow the steps in the "Log Into TL1" section.
4 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>]:<UID>:<CTAG>[::<PID>];
•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.
•PID is your password. PID can be up to 10 characters. PIDs are encrypted and are displayed as asterisks (*).
Input Example:
ACT-USER:PETALUMA:DXT:100::MYPASSWD;
Step 2 Confirm you receive a COMPLD response to indicate the command was completed successfully.
Response Example:
TID-000 1998-06-20 14:30:00
M 001 COMPLD
DXT:2003-01-02 14-04-49,0
;
5 Command Actions and Categories
When you have connected and logged into a TL1 session, you are ready to begin issuing TL1 commands and autonomous messages. TL1 commands and autonomous messages can be used to accomplish a variety of actions. Determining the correct command or autonomous message you need begins with identifying what action you want to perform. The first part of every command and autonomous message helps identify the action that command or autonomous message performs as shown in Table 1 .
To further determine which command or autonomous message you need, identify what category the action applies to (i.e. MS-SPRing, Cross Connections). In the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH TL1 Command Guide, commands and autonomous messages are categorized based on the area of the NE that they effect. For example, if you want to create, edit, or delete a cross-connection, you will find the available commands in the Cross Connections category. Table 2 shows some examples of actions, categories, and commands that apply to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH. For a complete list of categories, commands and autonomous messages, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH TL1 Command Guide.

10 Cisco Product Security Overview
Cisco provides a free online Security Vulnerability Policy portal at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html
From this site, you can perform these tasks:
•Report security vulnerabilities in Cisco products.
•Obtain assistance with security incidents that involve Cisco products.
•Register to receive security information from Cisco.
A current list of security advisories and notices for Cisco products is available at this URL:
If you prefer to see advisories and notices as they are updated in real time, you can access a Product Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS) feed from this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_psirt_rss_feed.html
Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products
Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you might have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:
•Emergencies — security-alert@cisco.com
An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered nonemergencies.
•Nonemergencies — psirt@cisco.com
In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:
•1 877 228-7302
•1 408 525-6532
Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work from encrypted information that is compatible with PGP versions 2.x through 8.x.
Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.htm
The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.
11 Obtaining Technical Assistance
Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.
Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website
The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.
Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts
Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
