TL1 is the most widely used management protocol in
telecommunication networks. Although it is simple and
easy to use, it manages complex network elements.WebNMS
Agent Toolkit can be used to build robust TL1 agent
that is specifically designed to render feature-rich
solutions for such complex applications. The toolkit
uses XML-driven TCS data to define the management information
for the TL1 agents.
Agent Toolkit Java Edition provides a complete development
environment with tools bundled to help developers through
every phase of the agent development cycle.

the response of the previously sent message.
Self-monitoring support
Helps you to monitor the agent details, such as the
number of requests received, number of responses and
autonomous messages sent, etc.
Automatic Acknowledgment
Manager gets updated about the request processing in
the NE using the automatic acknowledgment message.
