DynamicTL1® Java TL1 Agent API

Java TL1 Agent Development API

 

The DynamicTL1® Java TL1 Agent API builds upon the DynamicTL1® Java TL1 Messaging API to add the functionality required to develop and deploy robost Java TL1 agent applications for use in Network Elements, NMS/EMS TL1 North Bound interfaces (NBIs), TL1 protocol adaptors, etc.

High-level Agent Framework

The TL1 agent API implements a metadata-driven high-level programming interface for implementing individual custom TL1 command processors. By using the metadata based agent code generator along with the multitude of convenience classes and prepackaged plug-ins, you can now develop a fully functional Java based TL1 agent in a fraction of the time it would to take using in-house TL1 libraries or low-level TL1 vendor APIs.

DynamicTL1® Generic Agent Information Infrastructure

The DynamicTL1 Agent SDK also includes support for XML driven TL1 Managed Objects (MO), a TL1 Managed Information Base (MIB) and generic command processors in order to provide organization to the TL1 agent. This functionality is perfect for constructing data-driven TL1 agents and generic agent simulators. Its features include:

• TL1 Managed Object Support (mapping of TL1 data to MOs)
• TL1 Management Information Base (TL1 MIB)
• Automatic processing of RTRV/SET/ENT/DLT/ED operations
• Automatic AID to TL1 MO resolution
• XML based TL1 Managed Object initializating
• Built-in Security Support (ACT-USER/CANC-USER)
• Dynamic loading of custom command processors
