C. Parameter Definitions and Values
2.07
The TL1 commands use parameters that direct
and constrain their operation. The general definitions
of the parameters, are listed in Table A. The values of
the parameters are listed with the command.
2.08
In this guide, uppercase letters in a command
designate parameter values which must be entered as
shown. Lowercase letters in a command indicate that
there is a choice of values for the parameter. The val-
ues allowed for a parameter are listed with the com-
mand. When actually entering commands, the system
will accept either uppercase, lowercase, or a mixture
of both, but within a parameter block, upper and low-
er case cannot be mixed.
D. Responses
2.09
A response is returned by the system when it
receives a command. All responses include the source
identifier (<sid>), the date and time, an M to indicate
it is a response to a command, and the correlation tag
that was entered with the command. A response to a
command may be a completed or an error response.
a.
Input/Response:
A valid command is sent to
the 500 series system and a response is re-
turned. The letter “M” is returned with the
message in response to a command.
Completed response:
^^^<sid>^<date>^<time>
M^^<ctag>^COMPLD
;
Note:
If the command was a query, additional
information will be displayed before the semi-
colon.
Error response:
^^^<sid>^<date>^<time>
M^^<ctag>^DENY
^^^<errcde>
;
Note:
Refer to Table A for possible error
codes.
b.
Automatic:
This type of message is generated
by the 500 series system, stored in the Event
Log, and sent out via the Communications
Port. There are two automatically generated
message types: report alarm (REPT-ALM) and
report event (REPT-EVT) messages. Refer to
the actual command for message format de-
tails.
