2.01 Part 3, Description, describes how to use the
commands and read the responses, including: expla-
nations of the typestyle conventions and syntax, Þnd-
ing a command to perform a desired task, deÞnitions
of the parameters, and other useful information.
2.02 Part 4, Commands, contains the commands,
each one starting at the top of a page. Each command

3. DESCRIPTION
A. Conventions
3.01 The syntax and language structure used with
the 500 series systems comply with speciÞcations in
BellcoreÕs TR-TSY-000831, Section 12.1 of OTGR Is-
sue 2, Feb. 1988. As a subset of the ITUÕs MML (Man-
Machine Language), the language speciÞes Applica-
tions Messages which allow communication between
an OS (Operations System) and an NE (Network El-
ement) such as one of the 500 series systems.
3.02 The following conventions are used in this
manual to deÞne the syntax of input and response
messages:
< > enclose parameters which must be used
[ ] enclose optional parameter(s)
{ } enclose a series of parameters, at least one of
which must be used
| separates a list of parameters within the { }
symbols, of which one and only one parame-
ter may be selected
" " enclose a report of an alarm or event
: separates parameter blocks
... indicates one or more parameters are re-
peated an appropriate number of times, and
hence are omitted
, separates parameters within a block
; terminates a command and causes execution
of the command
B. Application Message Types
3.03
Two TL1 standard types of messages are used:
a. Input/Response , a command with valid pa-
rameters is input to the 500 series system and
a response message is returned.
b. Automatic , a message is generated by the 500
series system, stored in the Event Log, and
sent to the Communications Port.
