TID Multiplexing Troubleshooting
If an OSS is not getting a response from an NE, it can send a TL1 retrieve header
command (
RTRV-HDR ) to determine if the problem is with the NE or with AI296. The
parent connection on AI296 responds to RTRV-HDR commands that have the same TID
as the one configured for the card.
Tip: For more information regarding TL1 commands, responses, and formats, refer
to the Belcore document GR-833-CORE.
RTRV-HDR
This command is used primarily as an aliveness check.
Format
RTRV-HDR:[ tid ]:: ctag ;
