The WebNMS TL1 Message Builder bundled with Simulation Toolkit
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.
Unique Features
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.
Template-driven Parameter and Block definitions: Enables
normalized parameter and block definitions at the module level,
and associate them with multiple 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.
