TL1 text block expected on this line Error

Hello,

I'm getting a "TL1 text block expected on this line" error on one of my steps of my test case. I've attached a test report showing what my responses look like (board won't allow attaching html files, so please change extension to html to view). Step 4 is the command I'm having an issue with.

Also, steps 2 and 3 have their completion criteria set to "Auto or Idle" with an idle channel time of 2000ms. Step is set to TL1 End of Message. Would this make a difference?

Thanks.

All TL1 steps should be set to TL1 End of Message. After that if your step puts an extra prompt after ";" or "<", you want to set the appropriate prompt on the session or the step.

Your problem is either one of three things:

1. TL1 message is not properly formed according to GR831

2. The semicolon seems to be in an odd place.

3. It could be a bug in TL1 mapper.

I will have to consult the specs to see if the response does correspond to GR831.

Just confirmed - your ";" should be the first character on the line. I do not know if the device is doing it or iTest. You can telnet using a thirdparty client to verify this. If the device is doing it, it is a device bug.

Ok thanks. I'll look into it.

I tried this with a third party telnet application and it looked like it was ok.

Can you do an ethereal capture of iTest running the test and ethereal capture of the thirdparty telnet application and attach to the thread? It could be that the device is sending some screen based ANSI escape sequences and iTest is interpreting them differently.
