TL1
Transaction Language 1 (TL1) is a subset of the input and output messages contained in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Man-Machine Language (MML) command-line interface. TL1 provides a standard set of messages that can be used for communicating between operating systems and network elements (NEs), and between personnel and NEs. Functions such as surveillance, memory administration, and test access use short messages to cause specific actions. Transactions include the initiation and execution of these messages. Because these messages are standardized, they ensure compatible connections between any equipment designed to meet the TL1 standards.
The Transaction Language 1 Telco Service Manager (TL1 Probe) gathers fault and event data from all TL1-managed elements in a network and forwards the data as alerts to the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer for correlation, consolidation, and acknowledgement by network operators.
