TL1 Agent Simulator Features

The following features are supported in TL1 Agent simulator :

General
Storage Option	MySQL Database
TL1 Agent Configuration (The TL1 Agent configurations listed below are supported both in TL1 Agent Simulator and Network Simulator. The ** mark denotes configurations not supported in Network Simulator )
Input Command Message Configuration	Multiple Access Identifier Multiple Message Payload Block
Acknowledgment Message Configuration	In Progress PrintOut Follows Repeat Later No acknowledgment All Right No Good
Output Response Message Configuration	Completion Codes :Compld, Deny Multiple Valid and Error Response lines in Text Block Response Line Type: Quote, UnQuote
Autonomous Message Configuration	Alarm Codes Multiple Autonomous Response Lines in Text Block Response Line Type :Quote, UnQuote Configurable Request-based, Timer-based Autonomous message generation for a command code - AID - MPB combinations.
Echo Request Configuration	NE responds with the request, instead of the actual output response message.
Behavior Simulation	Configure Request-based scripts on a Command Code - AccessId - MessagePayload combination. Powerful Built-in Script APIs
** Simulate Random Variations in Response	Delayed Response Error Response Acknowledgment Message
** TL1 Security	User Related Security is implemented as per the specifications in GR 815 and TR 835. User Related Security authorizes the establishment of a session (i.e., login) and its continuation until logoff.
Operations
Save Configuration	To save the agent configuration in the database
Start simulated TL1 agent	From UI From Command line
Initialize Services	Option to enable/disable the execution of Autonomous messages at agent runtime. Option to enable/disable the execution of Behavior scripts at agent runtime.
RMI Support	RMI (Remote Method Invocation) is implemented in the TL1 agent simulator, to control the simulated agent behavior from a remote client program. The TL1 RMI client API, defines the methods in the simulator, which can be accessed via RMI.
Utilities
Gateway NE Simulation	Simulates NEs connected via a GNE Simulates the GNE. The GNE will also route the Autonomous Messages from the NE back to the managers connected.
Resimulation	Resimulate values without modifying the existing configuration, if new Command Code(s) and Autonomous codes are added to the TCS file if existing Command codes and Autonomous codes are deleted
Built-in and Self Monitoring Commands	The most common input commands and self-monitoring commands is already implemented in the TL1 agent . The commands are defined in tl1builtincommand.tcs file. This file can be loaded in the TL1CraftInterface tool to query the TL1 agent.
Command Line TL1 Agent Simulator	To start the simulated TL1 agent from command line.
