Changing an IPSG M3UA Linkset

This procedure is used to change an IPSG M3UA linkset, a linkset that contains the IPSG value yes and whose ADAPTER value is m3ua, in the EAGLE using the chg-ls commands with these parameters.

:lsn – The name of the linkset that will be changed, shown in the rtrv-ls output.

:ipsg – This parameter specifies whether or not the linkset is an IPSG linkset. This parameter has two values, yes (if the linkset is an IPSG linkset) or no (if the linkset is not an IPSG linkset). For this procedure, the ipsg parameter value must be yes.

:maxslktps – The maximum number of transactions per second (TPS) for all signaling links that are assigned to the IPSG M3UA linkset. See Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values.

:rsvdslktps – The number of transactions per second (TPS) that is assigned to each IPSG signaling link that will be in the linkset. See Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values. The slktps parameter can be used in place of the rsvdslktps parameter.

:tpsalmtype – The TPS threshold that will generate alarms. This parameter has two values.
  • rsvdslktps - The RSVDSLKTPS threshold generates alarms.
  • maxslktps - The MAXSLKTPS threshold generates alarms.

:adapter - This parameter specifies the adapter layer for the signaling links that will be assigned to the IPSG M3UA linkset. This parameter has two values, m2pa and m3ua. For an IPSG M3UA linkset, the adapter parameter value must be m3ua.

:rcontext - This parameter specifies the routing context value that is assigned to the IPSG M3UA linkset. The value for this parameter is from 0 to 4294967295. The default value for this parameter is none, no value is specified.

:action=delete - This parameter is used to remove an existing routing context (RCONTEXT) value from the IPSG M3UA linkset. If the rcontext value for the IPSG M3UA linkset is none, the linkset does not contain a routing context value.

:asnotif - This parameter specifies whether or not AS notifications will be sent for the IPSG M3UA linkset. This parameter has two values, yes, AS notifications will be sent for the linkset, and no, AS notifications will not be sent for the linkset. The default value for this parameter is yes.

:lsusealm – The linkset’s TPS alarm threshold, from 10 to 100 percent of the linkset’s TPS. When this threshold is reached, a major alarm (UAM 0115) is generated. When the linkset’s TPS falls below this threshold, UAM 0115 is automatically cleared and UAM 0118 is generated.

:slkusealm – The signaling link TPS alarm threshold, from 10 to 100 percent of the signaling link’s fair share of the linkset’s TPS or from 10 to 100 percent of the IPSG card’s capacity. See Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values. This threshold is reached when the signaling link’s actual usage exceeds the percentage of the signaling link’s fair share of the linkset’s TPS or the percentage of the IPSG card’s capacity.

A signaling link's fair share of linkset’s TPS is the linkset’s TPS divided by the number of in-service links in the linkset. For example, if the linkset TPS is 4000 and there are 4 signaling links in the linkset, all in-service, then the signaling link's fair-share would be 1000 TPS (4000/4=1000). Table 6-11 shows this calculation for a linkset with 1, 2, 3 and 4 in-service signaling links.

When this threshold is exceeded, a minor alarm (UAM 0116) is generated. When the amount of traffic on the signaling link falls below this threshold, UAM 0116 is automatically cleared and UAM 0119 is generated.

The signaling link TPS alarm shows that the linkset TPS is set too low for the linkset or that the IPSG card's capacity has been exceeded. Setting the signaling link TPS alarm threshold lower than the linkset TPS alarm threshold can give the user an earlier indication that the linkset TPS is inadequate or that traffic is not balanced across the links in the linkset.

Changing the MAXSLKTPS or RSVDSLKTPS values for the IPSG M3UA linkset cannot exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS shown in the rtrv-tps output. If changing the IPSG M3UA linkset 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 changing the MAXSLKTPS or RSVDSLKTPS values for the IPSG M3UA linkset will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the MAXSLKTPS or RSVDSLKTPS values for the IPSG M3UA linkset cannot be changed unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the MAXSLKTPS or RSVDSLKTPS values for the IPSG M3UA linkset to be changed. 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.

This procedure can also be used to change an IPSG M2PA linkset or a non-IPSG linkset to an IPSG M3UA linkset.

Other Optional Parameters

There are other optional parameters for an IPSG M3UA that can be changed. These parameters are not required for IPSG M3UA linkset. These parameters are discussed in more detail in the Commands User's Guide or in these sections.
  • The Configuring IPSG M3UA Linkset Options procedure in this manual.
  • These procedures in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide
    • Adding an SS7 Linkset
    • Changing an SS7 Linkset
    • Configuring an ITU Linkset with a Secondary Adjacent Point Code (SAPC)
  • The "Configuring a Linkset for the GSM MAP Screening Feature" procedure in the Database Administration - Features User's Guide.

Note:

The mtprse, spc/spca/spci/spcn/spcn24, sapci/sapcn/sapcn24, and ppc/ppca/ppci/ppcn/ppcn24 parameters cannot be specified for an IPSG M3UA linkset.

Canceling the RTRV-LS Command

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

  • Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-ls command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-ls command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-ls command was entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rtrv-ls command 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 current linksets in the database using the rtrv-ls command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    If you do not wish to change this linkset, choose another linkset from 1 and repeat this steps.

    If this linkset will be changed, perform one of these steps.
    • If the IPGWAPC value of the linkset is yes, the linkset must be removed from the database and then an IPSG M3UA linkset must be added. Perform the "Removing a Linkset Containing SS7 Signaling Links" procedure in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide to remove the linkset. After the linkset has been removed, perform the Adding an IPSG M3UA Linkset procedure to add the IPSG M3UA linkset. After the IPSG M3UA linkset has been added, perform the Adding an IPSG M3UA Signaling Link procedure to add IPSG M3UA signaling links to the new IPSG M3UA linkset. This procedure is finished.
    • If the IPGWAPC value of the linkset is no, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
      • If the LST value of the linkset is PRX, the linkset must be removed from the database and then an IPSG M3UA linkset must be added. Perform the "Removing a Linkset Containing SS7 Signaling Links" procedure in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide to remove the linkset. After the linkset has been removed, perform the Adding an IPSG M3UA Linkset procedure to add the IPSG M3UA linkset. After the IPSG M3UA linkset has been added, perform the Adding an IPSG M3UA Signaling Link procedure to add IPSG M3UA signaling links to the new IPSG M3UA linkset. This procedure is finished.
      • If the LST value of the linkset is a value other than PRX and the IPSG value of the linkset is no, remove the signaling links from the linkset by performing these procedures as necessary.

    After the IPSG value of the linkset has been changed, continue the procedure with 5.

    When the IPSG value is changed to yes, the ADAPTER value of the linkset is set to m2pa, the RSVDSLKTPS value of the linkset is set to 5000.

  4. The linkset type of an IPSG M3UA linkset must be A. If the linkset type of the linkset is not A, change the linkset type of the linkset by entering the chg-ls command with the name of the linkset and the lst=a parameter. For this example, enter this command.

    If the linkset type of the linkset is A, this step does not need to be performed. Continue the procedure with 5.

The new RSVDSLKTPS value for the linkset cannot allow the sum of the TPS used by all the IPSG signaling links that are assigned to each IPSG card shown in the linkset to exceed the MaxTPS (see Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values) and cannot exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS.

    To verify the TPS for the IPSG cards containing the IPSG signaling links in the linkset, enter the rtrv-slk command with the card location of each signaling link that is assigned to the linkset. For this example, enter these commands.

    rtrv-slk:loc=1101

    This is an example of the possible output.

    An IPSG M3UA linkset uses 100 to MAXSLKTPS (see Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values), as provisioned by the maxslktps parameter. If adding the new IPSG M3UA linkset will not exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, continue the procedure with 12.

    If adding the new IPSG M3UA linkset 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 12.

    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 IPSG M3UA linkset will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the IPSG M3UA linkset cannot be added unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the IPSG M3UA linkset to be changed. 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 9.
    • 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 9.
    • Some ATM high-speed signaling links have to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 7.
    • An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 8.

    If ATM high-speed signaling links are not displayed in the rtrv-slk output, perform one or more of these actions to increase the available TPS.

    Note:

    If one or more of these actions are not performed to increase the available TPS and the available TPS will not allow the IPSG M3UA linkset to be changed, the IPSG M3UA linkset cannot be added and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed.
    • The IP TPS values of some IPGWx linksets have to be changed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 9.
    • 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 9.
    • An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 8.

    If you do not wish to perform other actions to increase the available TPS and the available TPS will allow the IPSG M3UA linkset to be changed, continue the procedure with 12.

    If IPLIMx cards containing signaling links are not displayed in the rtrv-slk output, perform one or more of these actions to increase the available TPS.

    Note:

    If one or more of these actions are not performed to increase the available TPS and the available TPS will not allow the IPSG M3UA linkset to be changed, the IPSG M3UA linkset cannot be added and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed.
    • The IP TPS values of some IPGWx linksets have to be changed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 9.
    • 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 9.
    • Some ATM high-speed signaling links have to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 7.

    If you do not wish to perform other actions to increase the available TPS and the available TPS will allow the IPSG M3UA linkset to be changed, continue the procedure with 12.

  9. Display the IPGWx and IPSG linksets by entering this command.

    Perform these actions as necessary.
    • Perform the Configuring an IPGWx Linkset procedure to change the IPTPS value for any linksets shown in the rtrv-ls output whose IPGWAPC value is yes.
    • Perform one of these actions to change the MAXSLKTPS value (and RSVDSLKTPS value if necessary) for any linksets shown in the rtrv-ls output whose IPSG value is yes.
      • If the ADAPTER value of the linkset is M2PA, perform the Changing an IPSG M2PA Linkset procedure.
      • If the ADAPTER value of the linkset is M3UA, continue the procedure with 11.
    Perform one or both of these actions to increase the available TPS if needed.
    • An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 8.
    • Some ATM high-speed signaling links have to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 7.

    If you do not wish to perform other actions to increase the available TPS and the available TPS will allow the IPSG M3UA linkset to be changed, continue the procedure with 12.

  11. Reduce the MAX SLKTPS, and RSVDSLKTPS value if necessary, for the linksets displayed in 10 by entering the chg-ls command with the new maxslktps and rsvdslktps values. For this example, enter these commands.

    chg-ls:lsn=ipsglsn:maxslktps=3000

    chg-ls:lsn=ipsglsn2:maxslktps=3000

    Note:

    Note:

    There are other optional parameters that can be specified with thechg-ls command, but are not required for anIPSG M3UA linkset. These parameters and their usage are discussed in theOther Optional Parameters section of this procedure.

    If you do not wish to change the RCONTEXT value of the linkset, continue the procedure with 17.

    If you wish to change the RCONTEXT value of the linkset, continue the procedure with by performing one of these steps.
    • If the ADAPTER value of the linkset was changed to m3ua in 12 continue the procedure with 16.
    • If the ADAPTER value of the linkset was m3ua when this procedure was started, and the linkset contains signaling links, continue the procedure with 13.
    • If the ADAPTER value of the linkset was m3ua when this procedure was started, and the linkset does not contains signaling links, continue the procedure with 16.
    • If the ADAPTER value of the linkset was m3ua when this procedure was started, the RCONTEXT value is being removed from the linkset, perform one of these actions. If the linkset does not contains signaling links, continue the procedure with 16. If the linkset does contain signaling links, remove the signaling links from the linkset by performing the Removing an IPSG M3UA Signaling Link procedure. After the signaling links have been removed, continue the procedure with 16.
  13. Deactivate all the signaling links in the linkset by entering the dact-slk command with the location and link value of each signaling link in the linkset. For this example, enter these commands.

    An IPSG M3UA association can be assigned to different signaling links in different linksets only if the routing context (RCONTEXT) values in the linksets are different. Choose a routing context value for the linkset that is being changed that is different from the routing context values shown in this step.

  16. Change the existing routing context value by entering the chg-ls command with the rcontext parameter.

    If the routing context value of the linkset is being changed to a new value, for this example, enter this command.

    chg-ls:lsn=lssg1101:rcontext=200

    If the existing routing context value is being removed from the linkset, for this example, enter this command.

    chg-ls:lsn=lssg1101:rcontext=100:action=delete

    When the chg-ls command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

  17. Verify the changes using the rtrv-ls command specifying the linkset name specified in 12 and 16. For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-ls:lsn=lssg1101

    This is an example of the possible output.

    If signaling links were deactivated in 13, continue the procedure with 18.

    If signaling links were not deactivated in 13, continue the procedure with 19.

  18. Activate all signaling links that were deactivated in 13 using the act-slk command, specifying the card location and link parameter value of each signaling link. For this example, enter this command.

    act-slk:loc=1101:link=a2

    act-slk:loc=1101:link=a7

    When the act-slk command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

  19. Back up the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command. These messages should appear, the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.
    
    BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
    BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
    BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
    BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
    

    If the linkset that was changed in this procedure contained signaling links that were deactivated when 16 was performed, this procedure is finished.

    If the linkset that was changed in this procedure contained no signaling links when 12 or 16 were performed, perform the Adding an IPSG M3UA Signaling Link procedure to add IPSG M3UA signaling links to the linkset.
