The TL1 Agent Simulator supports to simulate random variations in response time for TL1 commands, as well as the action of the acknowledge response. You can also configure to occasionally send a DENY error message instead of a correct response.
Specify the name of the network element. The default NE name is AdvTL1Sim.
The simulated TL1 agent, starts at default port number 9099. You can specify any alternative port.
The TL1 Agent Simulator provides option to manage the TL1 agent from the remote, using Remote Method Invocation (RMI). Selecting the option ' Manage using RMI ' will register the TL1 simulator with the RMI registry.
Refer to the topic Managing Agents via RMI, to learn more.
Delayed Response is a function whereby an input message may be stored in a message pending buffer at the NE for final execution at some later time. The TL1 Agent Simulator supports to simulate delayed response, once in every 'n' number of responses. The time for delay will be generated in random between the specified minimum and maximum delay time
To simulate delayed response do the following :
Select Edit -> Agent Settings from the menu bar . The Configure Agent Settings dialog is displayed with the General Tab enabled.
Select the check box for Simulate Delayed Response.
Specify when the delayed response must be sent. For example, if every 5th response has to be delayed, configure "Send delayed response once in every 5 responses"
Specify the Maximum delay Time in milliseconds
Specify the Minimum delay Time in milliseconds.
Example: Delayed response is configured to be sent once in every 5 responses with maximum delay time as 10000 milliseconds and minimum delay time as 5000 milliseconds. In this case, NE will sent a delayed response, once in every 5 responses, from the time of agent startup. The response will be delayed by a minimum of 5 seconds and a maximum of 10 seconds.
Simulate Acknowledgment Message
An acknowledgment is a short reply from the NE indicating that an input command message is being acted upon or has been immediately rejected. Please refer to acknowledgments for more information.
The TL1 Agent Simulator supports to send acknowledgment message once in every 'n' number of responses. If an acknowledgment is already configured for a command, it will not be sent and only the acknowledgment specified in the Edit -> Agent Settings dialog will be sent.
To simulate acknowledgment message do the following :
Select Edit -> Agent Settings from the menu bar . The Configure Agent Settings dialog is displayed with the General Tab enabled.
Select the check box for Simulate acknowledgment Message.
Specify when the configured acknowledgment must be sent. For example, if the configured acknowledgment has to be sent once in every 4 responses, configure "Send acknowledge message once in every 4 responses"
Select the acknowledgment message from the list.
Example : acknowledgment Message "Repeat Later" is configured to be sent once in every 4 responses. In this case, NE will send the acknowledgment RL, once in every 4 responses, from the time of agent startup.
The TL1 Agent Simulator allows you to configure a TL1 agent to send error responses. The intention is to test the TL1 manager's robustness in the face of receiving bad packets. The TL1 Agent Simulator supports to simulate error response once in every 'n' number of responses. To simulate error response do the following :
Select Edit -> Agent Settings from the menu bar . The Configure Agent Settings dialog is displayed with the General Tab enabled.
Select the check box for Simulate Error Response.
Specify when an error response must be sent. For example, if you want to sent an error response once in every 10 responses, from the time of agent startup, specify the error response number as 10.
