Exercise 1.1: Starting TTCN-3 tool
In these exercises, the TTCN-3 tool we are using is OpenTTCN Tester for TTCN-3 in Windows XP operating system. Before OpenTTCN Tester can be used for running test cases, OpenTTCN server component of OpenTTCN Tester needs to be started.

Step 1: Starting a new instance of the Windows command prompt
In Windows XP: Start > Command Prompt or alternatively in Windows XP: Start > Run... > Open: cmd > Press OK
Step 2: Check available ot command options
Type "ot" (and press return) in the command prompt and the ot ("openttcn") command displays you all available command options.
Step 3: Start OpenTTCN server

Step 4: Check OpenTTCN server is running
Using information that you acquired during Step 2, check that OpenTTCN server is running after you started OpenTTCN server during Step 3.
