Working with Command Set

The TL1 Command Set file contains syntax of TL1 commands used between the manager and agent for management purposes. It contains the full description of each command, i.e. input, response, and autonomous message definitions.

TL1 Message Builder provides a user interface through which the Command Set files can be easily created or modified. The Command Set file is used to define TL1 Messages (Input/Response/Autonomous) in terms of message structure (syntax), parsing information, message categorization, grouping and associations, and various other related information such as description, alias, etc. A file can have many modules which represent a complete set of TL1 commands for a particular type of TL1 device. It is in a sense an equivalent of a MIB.
