Login state

For security reasons, access to Lucent ITM-NM is protected by a login process. Lucent ITM-NM sends a denial message and drops the connection if the login process fails.

The Probe for Lucent ITM-NM/OMS initiates the communication to Lucent ITM-NM by setting up the TCP/IP connection and sending out a login request message.

The format of the ITM-NM/OMS login message is:
logreq
orig_id <string>
dest_id <string>
login <string>
pswd <string>
tm <string>
<014><014>

The following table describes the login request fields and corresponding values.
