Ports 5001, 5002, 5003, and 5004 are configured to act as though a serial-port communication terminal were connected to them. These ports communicate TL1 commands, responses, and autonomous messages.
Port 5551 communicates with Element Managers, which may have NMS, TimePictra, or similar software. An Element Manager establishes a connection with port 5551 for TL1 commands and responses.
