TL1 Interface
TL1 is available as an orderable option.
GENERAL
The NCU can operate as a Network Element (NE) in a Network
Maintenance and Administration (NMA) system. NMA is software
developed by Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) to run on
an Operations System (OS). This system utilizes the Transaction
Language 1 (TL1) command language.
It is beyond the scope of this manual to provide operational
instructions for an NMA system and TL1 commands. Refer to the
NMA system documentation and the appropriate Bellcore
publications for operational instructions.
Specifically, refer to the current issue of the following Bellcore
publications for further information on the NMA system and TL1
command language.

NCU TL1 FEATURE
The NCU can send and receive TL1 messages and responses
between itself and a customer client application. This includes
autonomous messages sent by the NCU to notify the customer
client application of alarms.
TL1 messages contain parameter values that indicate attributes
and the state associated to signals. The NCU provides
configuration parameters for all signals as needed to specify values
of the TL1 attributes and states that are required in the TL1
messages. Configuration of TL1 attribute parameters is accessed
through the WEB interface.
NCU TL1 Port
The NCU TL1 port transports TL1 messages between the NCU and
a customer network operations center or client. Access through
this interface is restricted to a User who logs on with the TL1
‘ACTIVATE-USER’ request message.
The NCU TL1 port uses the telnet protocol (not SSH) over the
NCU’s Ethernet connection and has requirements for specific
operational settings. The NCU supports TL1 telnet operation over
IPV4 and IPV6 networks. The NCU TL1 port is enabled and
configured through the WEB interface.
Only one telnet connection through the NCU TL1 port is allowed at
any time. The telnet connection is disabled when the TL1 interface
is not selected by the customer. The telnet connection is
considered disabled when all telnet ports indicate closed during a
network scan of the Ethernet connection.
NCU TL1 Configuration
Webpages are provided in the NCU Web interface to configure
signal parameters and settings that specify the signal’s TL1
attributes. See “Setting TL1 Parameters” on page 22.
Machine-to-Machine HTTP Interface
DESCRIPTION
This interface option must be specified when the system is
ordered. It is enabled or disabled at the factory.
The Machine-to-Machine HTTP Interface option provides the
ability for a machine to poll the NCU controller using a special URL
for a pre-configured packet of information using HTTP-GET.
The URL requests are sent to the controller using the same port as
HTTP. Note this function is not available over HTTPS. This
interface assumes that the customer is on a secured network.
The interface can be used to retrieve data using third-party
programs such as WGET and CURL.
The interface works with IPv4 and IPv6.
The interface is available from the controller when the controller
uses a fixed IP address or a DHCP address.
The interface only supports one request/query at a time.
