DLP-G300 Manage the TARP Data Cache
Step 1 In node view, click the Maintenance > OSI > TDC tabs.
Step 2 View the following TARP data cache information:
• TID—The target identifier of the originating NE. For ONS 15454s, the TID is the name entered in 
the Node Name/TID field on the Provisioning > General tab.
• NSAP/NET—The NSAP or Network Element Title (NET) of the originating NE. 
• Type—Indicates how the TDC entry was created:
–
Dynamic—The entry was created through the TARP propagation process.
–
Static—The entry was manually created and is a static entry.
Step 3 If you want to query the network for an NSAP that matches a TID, complete the following steps. 
Otherwise, continue with Step 4.
Note The TID to NSAP function is not available if the TDC is not enabled on the Provisioning > OSI > 
TAR P subtab.
a. Click the TID to NSAP button. 
b. In the TID to NSAP dialog box, enter the TID you want to map to an NSAP. 
c. Click OK, then click OK in the information message box.
d. On the TDC tab, click Refresh.
If TARP finds the TID in its TDC, it returns the matching NSAP. If not, TARP sends protocol data 
units (PDUs) across the network. Replies will return to the TDC later, and a check TDC later 
message is displayed. 
Step 4 If you want to delete all the dynamically generated TDC entries, click the Flush Dynamic Entries 
button. If not, continue with Step 5.
Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
Purpose This task allows you to view and manage the TARP data cache (TDC). The 
TDC facilitates TARP processing by storing a list of TID to NSAP 
mappings.
