TL1 Message Builder is an user-friendly GUI tool to build (create/modify) XML-based TL1 message definitions and pre-built TL1 commands. These message definitions play a crucial role in automating various TL1 operations. The TL1 message definitions (metadata) are defined in a command set (.tcs) file and pre-built TL1 commands are defined in a data set (.dat) file.
This section explains the functionality available in the graphical interface and steps to create TL1 message definitions and pre-built commands.
Key Features
Following are the key features offered by the TL1 Message Builder:
Modularized Message Definitions : The command set and data set can be divided into different modules with each module containing message definitions specific to a device.
Grouping Message Definitions : Allows developers to clearly view message definitions, either category-based or message-based.
Create Message Definitions from BNF : Allows developers to create Input, Response and Autonomous message definitions based on the Bellcore and command-line specifications.
AID Modeling : Allows developers to define AID patterns for components in an NE, Classify them using Patterns and Pattern Sets, and map them to the message definitions.
Enumeration and Range definitions : Enables normalized enumeration and range value definitions at the module level, and associate them with multiple message definitions.
Command Glossary : Contains a collection of descriptions of complex TL1 terms used in the Command Set. It is often used to describe about parameter values defined for the messages.
Create pre-built TL1 Commands : Allows developers to create device commands based on the definitions used in the Command Set.
