Description: The TL1 driver allows the FieldServer to
control devices and generate alarms as a TL1 Network Element. The control
allows digital
and analogue inputs to be read and written by the FieldServer. The alarms
can generate automatic commands, or the FieldServer can respond to input
commands generated by a TL1 Monitoring client. The FieldServer emulates
a Server with this driver. Normally, the FieldServer will look like an
Environmental Monitor to the TL1 client. Alarm Types will be chosen from
the Environmental Alarm Types specified in the “NE Transport Surveillance
Messages” Document (GR-833-CORE). The FieldServer supports multiple
target identifiers (TIDs), and multiple access identifiers (AIDs). Both
are specified from 1 to 255. This allows the FieldServer to report multiple
(255) different alarms of each type such as AIRCOMPR or FIRE or POWER.
The driver may be used as a Serial driver, but it can be combined with
the Telnet driver to be tunneled over Ethernet using a TCP connection.
Formal Driver Type: Ethernet
Connection type:
- RS-232 / Ethernet (tunnel over TCP using Telnet driver)
Devices Tested:
Connection Notes:
Note that the Ethernet option requires the FieldServer
Telnet driver (FS8704-11) to be purchased in addition to the TL1 driver
