This task creates a TL1 tunnel using the CTC Launcher, and the tunnel
transports the TCP traffic to and from ONS ENEs through the OSI-based
GNE.

As needed
Onsite or remote
None
Far End TID—Enter the TID of the ONS ENE at the far end of the tunnel. The TID is the name
entered in the Node Name field on the node view Provisioning > General tab.
Host Name/IP Address—Enter the GNE DNS host name or IP address through which the tunnel will
established. This is the third-party vendor GNE that is connected to an ONS node through an OSI
DCC network. CTC uses TCP/IP over a DCN to reach the GNE. The GNE accepts TL1 connections
from the network and can forward TL1 traffic to the ENEs.
Choose a port option:
–
Use Default TL1 Port—Choose this option if you want to use the default TL1 port 3081 and
3082.
Use Other TL1 Port—Choose this option if the GNE uses a different TL1 port. Enter the port
–
number in the box next to the User Other TL1 Port radio button.
TL1 Encoding Mode—Choose the TL1 encoding:
LV + Binary Payload— TL1 messages are delimited by LV (length value) headers and TCP
–
traffic is encapsulated in binary form. Cisco recommends this option because it is the most
efficient encoding mode. However, you must verify that the GNE supports LV + Binary Payload
encoding.
LV + Base64 Payload— TL1 messages are delimited by LV headers and TCP traffic is
–
encapsulated using Base64 encoding.
Raw—TL1 messages are delimited by semi-columns only, and the TCP traffic is encapsulated
–
using Base64 encoding.
GNE Login Required—Check this box if the GNE requires a a local TL1 ACT-USER login before
forwarding TL1 traffic to ENEs.
TID—If the GNE Login Required box is checked, enter the GNE TID.
