Adding an IPLIMx Signaling Link

This procedure is used to add an IPLIMx signaling link to the database using the ent-slk command. The ent-slk command uses these parameters.

:loc – The card location of the IP card that the IP signaling link will be assigned to. The cards specified by this parameter are IP cards running the IPLIM or IPLIMI applications.

:link – The signaling link on the card specified in the loc parameter.

:lsn – The name of the linkset that will contain the signaling link.

:slc – The signaling link code. The SLC must be unique within the linkset. It must be the same at both the EAGLE location and the distant node.

:ipliml2 – The L2 protocol stack to be assigned to the IP signaling link, M2PA (the default value).

The ent-slk command contains other optional parameters that are not used to configure an IPGWx signaling link. These parameters are discussed in more detail in Commands User's Guide or in these sections.

These items must be configured in the database before an IP signaling link can be added:

  • Shelf – perform the "Adding a Shelf" procedure in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide
  • Card – perform the Adding an IPLIMx Card procedure
  • Destination Point Code – perform the “Adding a Destination Point Code” procedure in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide.
  • Linkset – An IPLIMx signaling link can be assigned to any linkset that does not contain IPGWx signaling links . Perform one of these procedures to add the linkset.

Adding the IPLIMx signaling link to an IPLIMx card that does not contain any IPLIMx signaling links cannot exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS shown in the rtrv-tps output. An IPLIMx card that contains IPLIMx signaling links uses 4000 TPS. If the IPLIMx signaling link is being added to an IPLIMx card that contains other signaling links, no additional TPS is used and the maximum total provisioned system TPS shown in the rtrv-tps output will not be exceeded.

If adding the IPLIMx signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, and the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000, perform the "Activating the HIPR2 High Rate Mode" feature in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide to enable and turn on the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature. When the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature is enabled and turned on, the maximum total provisioned system TPS is increased to 1,000,000 (1M). If the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 1M, or the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000 and will not be increased, and adding the IPLIMx signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the IPLIMx signaling link cannot be added unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the IPLIMx signaling link to be added. The available TPS can be reduced by performing one or more of these actions.
  • The IP TPS values of some IPGWx linksets have to be changed.
  • The MAXSLKTPS values of some IPSG linksets (and the RSVDSLKTPS values if necessary) have to be changed.
  • Some ATM high-speed signaling links have to be removed.
  • An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed.

Verify that the link has been physically installed (all cable connections have been made).

To configure the EAGLE to perform circular routing detection test on the signaling links, “Configuring Circular Route Detection” procedure in the Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide.

Note:

Circular route detection is not supported in ITU networks.

To provision a EAGLE with more than 1200 signaling links, the EAGLE must have certain levels of hardware installed. See the Requirements for EAGLEs Containing more than 1200 Signaling Links section for more information on these hardware requirements.

The EAGLE can contain a mixture of low-speed, E1, T1, ATM high-speed, and IP signaling links. The Determining the Number of High-Speed and Low-Speed Signaling Links section describes how to determine the quantities of the different types of signaling links the EAGLE can have.

Canceling the REPT-STAT-SLK, RTRV-LS, and RTRV-SLK Commands

Because the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, and rtrv-slk commands used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, and rtrv-slk commands can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, and rtrv-slk commands can be canceled.

  • Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, or rtrv-slk commands were entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, or rtrv-slk commands were entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, or rtrv-slk commands were entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, or rtrv-slk commands was entered. To enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx> command, the terminal must allow Security Administration commands to be entered from it and the user must be allowed to enter Security Administration commands. The terminal’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-secu-trm command. The user’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-user or rtrv-secu-user commands.

For more information about the canc-cmd command, go to Commands User's Guide.

  1. Display the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have and the number of signaling links that are currently provisioned by entering the rtrv-tbl-capacity command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    Note:

    Thertrv-tbl-capacity command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by thertrv-tbl-capacity command, refer to thertrv-tbl-capacitycommand description inCommands User's Guide.

    If the addition of the new signaling link will not exceed the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have, continue the procedure with 2.

    If the addition of the new signaling link will exceed the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have, and the maximum number of signaling links is less than 2800, perform the Enabling the Large System # Links Controlled Feature procedure to enable the desired quantity of signaling links. After the new quantity of signaling links has been enabled, continue the procedure with 2.

    If the addition of the new signaling link will exceed the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have (in this example, the maximum number of signaling links is 1200), and the maximum number of signaling links is 2800, this procedure cannot be performed. The EAGLE cannot contain more than 2800 signaling links.

  2. Display the total provisioned system TPS by entering the rtrv-tps command. This is an example of the possible output.

    If the required card is not in the database, perform the Adding an IPLIMx Card procedure and add the IPLIMx card to the database.

    Note:

    If the linkset that the signaling link will be added to contains themultgc=yes parameter, the application assigned to the card must be IPLIMI.

    An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links uses 4000 TPS. If the card that the new IPLIMx signaling link will be assigned to has other signaling links assigned to it (shown in the LSET NAME, LINK, and SLC columns in the rtrv-card output), continue the procedure with 8.

    If the Adding an IPLIMx Card procedure was performed in this step, or if the new signaling link will be assigned to an existing IPLIMx card that contains no signaling links, continue the procedure by performing one of these actions.
    • If adding the new IPLIMx signaling link will not exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, shown in 2 , continue the procedure with 8.
    • If adding the new IPLIMx signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, and the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000 shown, perform the "Activating the HIPR2 High Rate Mode Feature" procedure in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide to enable and turn on the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature. When the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature is enabled and turned on, the maximum total provisioned system TPS is increased to 1M. After the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature has been enabled and turned on, continue the procedure with 8.
    • If the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 1M, or the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000 and will not be increased, and adding the IPLIMx signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the IPLIMx signaling link cannot be added unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the IPLIMx signaling link to be added. The available TPS can be increased by performing one or more of these actions.
      • The IP TPS values of some IPGWx linksets have to be changed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 6.
      • The MAXSLKTPS values of some IPSG linksets (and the RSVDSLKTPS values if necessary) have to be changed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 6.
      • Some ATM high-speed signaling links have to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 4.
      • An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 5.
  4. Display the ATM high-speed signaling links by entering this command.

Link set table is (10 of 1024) 1% full.

    The signaling link cannot be assigned to a linkset whose IPGWAPC value is yes. If the IPGWAPC value for the linkset is yes, repeat the procedure from 9 and choose another linkset.

    If the IPGWAPC value for the linkset is no, continue the procedure with 11.

  11. Add the signaling link to the database using the ent-slk command.
    Table 3-2 shows the parameters and values that can be specified with the ent-slk command.

    Table 3-2 M2PA IPLIMx Signaling Link Parameter Combinations

    M2PA IPLIMx Signaling Link
    Mandatory Parameters
    :loc = location of the IP card with one of these applications: IPLIM or IPLIMI; and the DCM card type. (See Note 1)
    :link = <see Note 2>
    :lsn = linkset name (See Note 3)
    :slc = 0 - 15 (See Note 4)
    Optional Parameter
    :ipliml2 = m2pa, default value = m2pa

    Notes:

    1. If the multgc=yes parameter is assigned to the linkset, the card’s application must be IPLIMI.

    2. The range of link parameter values is dependent on the type of IPLIMx card that is being provisioned.
    • Single-Slot EDCM - Link Parameter Values A - A3, B - B3
    • E5-ENET - Link Parameter Values A - A7, B - B7

    3. If the card’s application is IPLIMI, the linkset adjacent point code must be ITU. If the card’s application is IPLIM, the linkset adjacent point code must be ANSI. The domain of the linkset adjacent point code must be SS7.

    4. Signaling links provisioned in this procedure can be in a linkset that contains non-IPLIMx signaling links.

    For this example, enter these commands.

    ent-slk:loc=2204:link=b:lsn=lsnlp2:slc=0:ipliml2=m2pa

    ent-slk:loc=2205:link=a:lsn=lsnlp1:slc=1:ipliml2=m2pa

    ent-slk:loc=2213:link=a:lsn=lsnlp5:slc=1:ipliml2=m2pa

    When each of these commands have successfully completed, this message should appear.

    Continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
    • If a new signaling link is the first signaling link on the IPLIMx card, continue the procedure with 13.
    • If all the signaling links that were added in this procedure were added to IPLIMx cards that contained other signaling links, continue the procedure with14.
  13. Place the IPLIMx card containing the first signaling link on that card into service with the rst-card command, specifying the location of the card. For this example, enter these commands.

    rst-card:loc=2204
