This procedure is used to add a T1 signaling link to the database using the ent-slk
command and these parameters.
:loc
– The card location of the card that the T1 signaling link will be assigned to.
: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.
:bps
– The transmission rate for the link in bits per second.
:ecm
– Error correction method, either basic
or pcr
. The default value for this parameter is basic
.
:pcrn1
– The threshold of the number of MSUs available for retransmission. If the error correction method being used is PCR (:ecm=pcr
), and this threshold is reached, no new MSUs or FISUs are sent. The retransmission cycle is continued up to the last MSU entered into the retransmission buffer in the order in which they were originally transmitted.
:pcrn2
– The threshold of the number of MSU octets available for retransmission. If the error correction method being used is PCR (:ecm=pcr
), and this threshold is reached, no new MSUs or FISUs are sent. The retransmission cycle is continued up to the last MSU entered into the retransmission buffer in the order in which they were originally transmitted.
:ts
– The timeslot on the T1 card or channel card being used for the T1 signaling link.
:t1port
– The T1 port on the T1 card that is servicing the timeslot selected for the T1 signaling link.
:t1loc
– The location of the T1 card servicing the timeslot selected for the T1 signaling link. This parameter can be specified only when provisioning T1 signaling links on channel cards.
:l2tset
– The level 2 timer set table assigned to the T1 signaling link. The type of linkset the T1 signaling link is assigned to and the T1 card’s application determines the value of the l2tset
parameter. The level 2 timer set tables are defined in the Changing Level 2 Timers procedure.
The ent-slk
command contains other optional parameters that can be used to configure a signaling link. These parameters are not shown here because they are not necessary to provision a T1 signaling link. These parameters are explained in more detail in the Adding an SS7 Signaling Link procedure, or in the ent-slk
command description in the Commands User's Guide.
These items must be configured in the database before a T1 signaling link can be added:
limt1
) or ChannelCard (card type limch
) running either the ss7ansi
or ccs7itu
applications – see Adding a LIM-T1 Card procedureVerify that the link has been physically installed (all cable connections have been made).
T1 port 2 (t1port=2
) cannot be specified when the T1 signaling link is assigned to a channel card (card type limch
).
The value of the bps
parameter must be either 56000 or 64000.
The values for the ts
parameter must be from 1 to 24.
The linkset must be in the database. The number of signaling links in a linkset cannot exceed 16. This can be verified with the rtrv-ls
command.
The APC of the linkset assigned to the signaling link must be in the SS7 domain. Use the rtrv-dstn
command to verify the domain of the APC of the linkset.
The pcrn1
or pcrn2
parameters can only be specified if the ecm=pcr
parameter is specified.
If the T1 signaling link is being assigned to an unchannelized T1 port (shown by the entry UNCHAN
in the LINKCLASS
field in the rtrv-t1
output), you cannot specify the ts
parameter. A T1 signaling link containing an unchannelized T1 port can be assigned only to an E5-E1T1 card. A maximum of one T1 signaling link containing an unchannelized T1 port can be assigned to an E5-E1T1 card. The link
parameter value for this link must be a
. The transmission rate (bps
parameter) for an unchannelized T1 signaling link is 1536000 bits per second. The bps
parameter is optional, and if not specified with the ent-slk
command, the bps
parameter value defaults to 1536000 bits per seconds.
If the T1 signaling link is being assigned to a channel bridged T1 port (shown by the entries MASTER
or SLAVE
in the CHANBRDG
field in the rtrv-t1
output), the T1 port value for the signaling link must be the odd numbered (MASTER
) T1 port.
If the T1 card is an E1/T1 MIM, a maximum of 8 T1 signaling links can be assigned to the card. The range of link
parameter values is dependent on the type of T1 card the signaling link is assigned to. The link
parameter values for T1 signaling links assigned to E1/T1 MIMs are A - A3, or B - B3, allowing a maximum of 8 signaling links on the card.
If the T1 signaling link is being assigned to a channelized T1 port (shown by the entry CHAN
in the LINKCLASS
field in the rtrv-t1
output) on an HC-MIM, a maximum of 64 T1 signaling links can be assigned to the card. The link
parameter values for T1 signaling links assigned to HC-MIMs are A - A31, or B - B31. If signaling links A16 to A31, or B16 to B31 will be assigned to the card, the FAN feature must be turned on. The status of the FAN feature is shown in the rtrv-feat
command output. The shelf containing the HC-MIM being added in this procedure must have fans installed. If the fans are not installed on the shelf containing the HC-MIM, go to Installation Guide and install the fans.
If the T1 signaling link is being assigned to a channelized T1 port (shown by the entry CHAN
in the LINKCLASS
field in the rtrv-t1
output) on an E5-E1T1 card, a maximum of 32 T1 signaling links can be assigned to the card. The link
parameter values for T1 signaling links assigned to E5-E1T1 cards are A - A15 or B - B15.
To configure the EAGLE to perform circular routing detection test on the signaling links, perform the Configuring Circular Route Detection procedure.
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
and RTRV-SLK
Commands
Because the rept-stat-slk
and rtrv-slk
commands used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rept-stat-slk
and rtrv-slk
commands can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rept-stat-slk
and rtrv-slk
commands can be canceled.
F9
function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rept-stat-slk
or rtrv-slk
commands were entered.canc-cmd
without the trm
parameter at the terminal where the rept-stat-slk
or rtrv-slk
commands were entered.canc-cmd:trm=<xx>
, where <xx>
is the terminal where the rept-stat-slk
or rtrv-slk
commands were entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rept-stat-slk
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.
