TL1 General Conventions
TL1 uses English-like acronyms and shorthand or abbreviations in a format that can
be read and composed by humans.
Follow these general conventions for entering all TL1 parameters:
Enter all command characters in upper-case. In the command syntax, lower-case
characters indicate parameters that you must supply.
All commands must contain the
cmd
,
tid
, and
ctag
fields.
You may omit trailing commas in the parameters field.
Terminate command lines with a terminating semicolon (
;
) and an end-of-line
designator (
<cr><lf>
or
<
cr lf>
). The SSU-2000 executes the command when it
receives the terminating semicolon in the command entry.
^
is a blank that must appear in a command or response
:
is a block separator character
::
indicates a null field for a block
;
indicates the end of the message
<cr>
and
<lf>
or
<cr lf>
indicate the ASCII carriage return (CR) and line feed
(LF) codes used as a line terminator and may be used separately or combined
The ASCII cancel code character (hex 18) can be used to cancel a partially sent
command and clear the input buffer.
Input Command Message Conventions
Command messages entered and sent by the user determine the action that the
SSU-2000 will take. Command messages are input messages, and are always
followed by an acknowledgment or output response message.
The format for the input command message is:
cmd:tid:[aid]:ctag[:[gb]:<other>;<cr lf>
where:
cmd
(Command) is a descriptive string of letters that represents the input
command (
Table B-5
through
Table B-7
). The command string consists of a
standard TL1 command verb, followed by one or two command modifiers. The
modifiers identify the subject of the command verb and each may be as many as
five characters. If two modifiers are used, they must be separated by dashes:
verb- mod1- mod2
.
tid
(Target Identifier) represents the name assigned to the SSU-2000. The
assigned name must be either null or match the name assigned to the
SSU-2000. If the tid is not null, it may must begin with a letter and may contain as
many as 20 alpha-numeric characters. See the SET-NAME
command in
Table
B-6.
