The WebNMS TL1 Craft Interface bundled with Simulation Toolkit
is an user-friendly GUI tool that enables craft operators to easily
manage the TL1 infrastructure. It helps lab technicians and field
engineers to test, monitor, administer, and provision multiple TL1
agents. While the normal Telnet interface is too simple, this tool
offers a sophisticated and productive environment.
Unique Features
Connectivity with multiple TL1 devices : Easily manage
and monitor multiple TL1 devices simultaneously.
Load pre-built TL1 commands : This will simplify the
tedious task of dealing with various device-specific TL1 messages.
Load pre-built message templates : Helps administrators
to easily provision/configure a particular element in an NE such
as, Equipment, Facility, Cross-connect etc. The message templates
are XML-based definitions (Command Set) and are built using TL1
Message Builder.
Automatic Message Rationalization : Allows craft operators
to easily understand messages received from multiple TL1 devices.
This is done by upgrading the received messages based on the TL1
message definitions.
Bulk Message Support : Allows field engineers to run
routine diagnostic tests. These tests can be carried out on-demand
to isolate problems on a particular element within an NE.
Multiple Transport Protocols : Allows craft operators
to communicate with TL1 devices via, TCP, Telnet, or Serial transport.
The tool also provides support for plug-in custom transport protocols.
Session Logging : Allows administrators to generate and
browse historic information of TL1 devices. Offers transaction-based
logging as well as raw data logging.
