The first step in using TL1 is to connect to TL1. You only have to connect to TL1 one time per session. 
A session is a related set of communication transactions between two or more network devices. There 
are three ways to connect to TL1: via CTC, telnet, or craft interface. Perform one of the following 
procedures to connect to TL1.

From the PC connected to the ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15600 SDH, or ONS 15310-MA SDH, 
start Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. 

Enter the IP address of the node you want to communicate with in the Netscape or Internet 
Explorer Web address (URL) field.

Log into the CTC. The IP address at the title bar should match the IP address of the node you 
entered in Step 2.

Once logged into the CTC, there are two ways to open a TL1 session:

Click Tools > Open TL1 Connection, or 

Click on the Open TL1 Connection button

on the toolbar.

From the Select Node dialog box choose the node you want to communicate with.

Click OK. 

A TL1 interface window opens. There are three sub-windows in the TL1 interface window: 
Request History, Message Log/Summary Log, and TL1 request. Type commands in the TL1 
request window. You will see responses in the Message log window. The Request History 
window allows you to recall previous commands by double-clicking on them.

Verify that the Connect button is selected (grayed out).

You are ready to log into TL1. Follow the steps in the “4. Log Into TL1” section on page 8.

To communicate with the ONS network element (NE) using TL1 commands through a Telnet session 
over a craft interface or a LAN connection, you can choose either of the following two ports:
