E. Parameter Definitions and Values
3.11
The TL1 commands use parameters that di-
rect and constrain their operation. The general def-
initions of the parameters, and the type of message
in which they appear, are listed in Table A. The
values of the parameters are listed with the com-
mand.
F. Task/Command Cross-reference
3.12
Consult Table B to Þnd the command appro-
priate for a task. This table also lists whether or
not a command is password protected. Protected
commands can only be accessed if the user logged
on with a password. Unprotected commands can be
accessed with or without a password.
Table A. Parameter Definitions
PARAMETER
USED IN
MESSAGE
TYPE DEFINITION
aid Command,
response
This parameter is the access identifier. When used in a command, the aid is the
equipment that the command affects. When seen in a response, the aid is the
equipment reporting the condition.
almcde Response This parameter is the alarm code. It identifies the severity of the alarm. If multiple
alarms are reported, the value for almcde is the highest severity of those
reported.
atag Response This parameter is the automatic message tag, a decimal number with a maxi-
mum of 3 characters (1 through 999). It is assigned by the system to sequence
and correlate automatic messages.
baud Command,
response
This parameter is the communications port baud rate; the baud rate for COM2
can only be changed via DIP switch on the MIS card; ports 1 and 3 are software-
configurable only.
compri Command,
response
This parameter specifies the priority level of the communications port from 0 to 3;
0 inhibits alarm/event messages from being transmitted from a port; 1 is the
highest priority, and 3 is the lowest.
comtype Command,
response
This parameter indicates the type of communications device used (X25 [PAD],
MODEM, or [dumb] TERM)
condeff Automatic
message
This parameter is the condition effectivity. It reports that a standing condition is
raised (SC), or that it is cleared (CL). This parameter is the only difference
between a response that raises a standing condition, and a response that clears
the same standing condition. If a standing condition is raised, it can be retrieved
using the RTRV-COND-ALL or RTRV-COND-EQPT commands.
conddescr Response This parameter is the condition description. It is a text description of the alarm or
condition reported by the system, enclosed within escaped quotes (\"). The sys-
tem returns one conddescr per response message.
condtype Command,
response,
automatic
message
This parameter is the condition type. When used in a command, it indicates the
type of alarm condition requested. When seen in a response, it indicates the type
of alarm condition being reported, which is further explained in the conddescr
parameter. When seen in an automatic message, it indicates the type of alarm
condition reported as either raised or cleared (see the conddescr parameter).
