DynamicTL1® Java TL1 Solutions

The high level Java TL1 agent framework, generic TL1 manager API and TL1 applications provided by the DynamicTL1® Product Suite can provide your company with the tools needed to rapidly develop TL1 software applications and modules for:

• Network/Element Management Systems
• Local Craft Interface (LCI) Applications
• Network Elements/Devices
• Protocol Mediation/Adaptation
• NMS/EMS North Bound Interfaces (NBIs)
• More solutions...

The TL1 Manager Java SDK provides the ultimate solution Network Management System (NMS) or Element Management System (EMS) application development. The generic TL1 manager API provided by the DynamicTL1® Manager SDK allows you to develop generic TL1 manager applications for use in simulataneously managing multiple types of TL1 devices/systems with a single application. By supporting dynamically loadable TL1 command sets you can easily manage the variety of TL1 devices present in todays heterogeneous telecommunications networks.

Additionally, the TL1 Agent Java SDK provides the TL1 agent framework needed to quickly and easily add a TL1 North Bound Interface (NBI) to any Network/Element Management System.

• Dynamically loadable TL1 command sets (metadata)
• Large scale network support
• Multiple device/command set support in single application
• Automatic session management (heartbeat, etc)
• Transport independent API
• Built-in support for TCP/IP,SSL and Serial communications
• Built-in message logging
• Supports Rapid NBI development
• Simple integration with existing Java applications.

If your Network Element has a TL1 interface and you need to develop a lightweight Graphical Local Craft interface for deployment on a laptop of other craft device, then the TL1 Manager Java SDK can help. By providing a easy-to-use, lightweight manager API, you can easily develop small GUI Applications for use as local craft interfaces to any TL1 device.

As an alternative, you could also use the DynamicTL1® TL1 Manager Tool as a generic, out-of-box TL1 Graphical Local Craft Interface. Just configure it with the TL1 command definitions and your own set of high level command sequences and it is ready for deployment. Some other features of the DynamicTL1® Manager SDK are:

• Supports rapid TL1 manager application development
• Dynamically loadable TL1 command sets (metadata)
• Multiple device/command set support in single application
• Automatic session management (heartbeat, etc)
• Transport independent API
• Built-in support for TCP/IP,SSL and Serial communications
• Built-in message logging
• Simple integration with GUI frameworks

If your Network Element supports Java 2 (JRE1.2 or greater) then the TL1 Agent Java SDK is the answer for your Java TL1 Agent development needs. With features such as the plug-in TL1 security module, plug-in VT100 interface, and agent code generation, the DynamicTL1® Agent SDK, provides the quickest means of developing a fully functional TL1 interface to your Network Element. Some other features are:

• Small core application footprint
• Built-in agent session management
• Plug-in TL1 security module
• Plug-in VT100/Telnet adaptor
• Simultaneous support for multiple transports
  - Plain TCP/IP
  - SSL
  - Serial connections
  - Custom user defined transports (SSH, etc...)

Whether your system requires support for newer communications standards such as XML/SOAP, HTTP, and CORBA or more traditional protocols such as SNMP and CMIP, the TL1 Manager Java SDK and TL1 Agent Java SDK are the best answer to your TL1 protocol mediation needs. The DynamicTL1® product suite provides the tools you need for the development of custom protocol adaptors/mediators. By using dynamically loadable metadata rather than statically generated code, you can quickly and easily contruct generic TL1 protocol adaptors where the protocol mappings are defined in config files rather in application code. This makes for code which is smaller and easier to maintain as well as provides an extensible and flexible mediation solution.

• Dynamically loadable TL1 command sets (metadata)
• Generic strings based API support for generic protocol mapping
• XML configurable agent frameworks for TL1 northbound adaptors
• Choice of synchronous and asynchronous manager APIs
• Plug-in TL1 security module
• VT100/Telnet capability
• Gateway TL1 agent API support

If you have an existing Network or Element Management System (NMS/EMS) and have a need to expose information such as network topology, network level fault/performance data or provisioning information through a TL1 agent interface like the Telcordia™ NMA® or OPS/INE, then the TL1 Agent Java SDK can help.

DynamicTL1 can easily integrate with Java applications to provide TL1 access to and managability of your existing application data elements such as alarm tables, subnet configuration data, performance statistics and provisioning information. See below for some additional features for NBI development:

• Automatic generation of agent TL1 command processors
• XML configurable agent framework
• Simple TL1 notification interface
• Built-in agent session management
• Plug-in TL1 security module
• Plug-in VT100/Telnet adaptor
• Simultaneous support for multiple transports
  - Plain TCP/IP
  - SSL
  - Serial connections
  - Custom user defined transports (SSH, etc...)
• Simple integration with existing Java applications.

In addition to the uses already enumerated, the DynamicTL1® Manager and Agent SDKs as well as the other DynamicTL1® Products may be used for:

• Adding TL1 protocol support to an existing NMS or EMS.
• Adding a TL1 interface to a network database
• TL1 agent simulation
• TL1 performance data collection
• TL1 fault management adaptors
• TL1 event generation
• and much more...
