Removing a Network Appearance

This procedure removes the network appearance from the database using the dlt-na command with these parameters.

:na – the 32-bit value of the network appearance, from 0 to 4294967295.

:type – the network type of the network appearance, ansi (ANSI), itui (ITU-I), itun (14-bit ITU-N), itun24 (24-bit ITU-N), ituis (ITU-I Spare), ituns (14-bit ITU-N Spare).

:gc – the specific ITU-N group code associated with the network appearance.

Specifying the gc parameter removes the specific network appearance containing the na and gc parameter values.

Specifying the type=itun or type=ituns parameter without the gc parameter removes all 14-bit ITU-N or 14-bit ITU-N spare network appearances containing the specified na parameter value.

  1. Display the network appearances in the database with the rtrv-na command.
    This is an example of the possible output.

    TYPE    GC           NA
    ANSI    --          100
    ITUI    --         1000
    ITUN    uk       150000
    ITUN    fr   4000000000
    ITUN    ge   1000000000
    ITUN24  --            3
    ITUIS   --         2000
    ITUNS   sp         5000
    
  2. Remove the network appearance from the database with the dlt-na command.
    For this example, enter these commands.

    dlt-na:na=100:type=ansi

    dlt-na:na=4000000000:type=itun:gc=fr

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

    DLT-NA:  MASP A - COMPLTD
    
  3. Verify the changes using the rtrv-na command.
    This is an example of possible output.
    
    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 09:12:36 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    TYPE    GC           NA
    ITUI    --         1000
    ITUN    uk       150000
    ITUN    ge   1000000000
    ITUN24  --            3
    ITUIS   --         2000
    ITUNS   sp         5000
    
  4. 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.
