Remote RMX-3200 Version 5.2x Configuration Guide
Configuring and Connecting TL1 Infrastructure: Overview
18-2
Overview
In order to configure TL1 alarms and mediation connections on Remote RMX-3200,
you must configure the infrastructure for TL1 reporting. TL1 is an ASCII-based
language for management of
network elements. The TL1 infrastructure on Remote
RMX-3200 consists of TL1 multiplexers and virtual TL1 NEs (VNEs).
A TL1 multiplexer is a software component that uses TIDs to multiplex several TL1
data streams onto a single TCP connection. It can be configured to connect to
varbinds, real TL1 NEs and scripts that generate TL1. A TL1 multiplexer acts like a
TL1 GNE, which provides a single point of contact to multiple subtending NEs.
A virtual TL1 NE is a simulation of a TL1 NE environment for generating TL1 alarms
and responding to TL1 commands. A VNE typically might be used for generating
alarms based upon digital and analog inputs and controlling relay outputs.
Note: If you only want to configure TL1 alarming for digital and analog inputs with a
single socket,
tl1ne 1 and tl1mux 1 are enabled and connected by default.
