Removing a LIM-T1 Card

This procedure is used to remove either a T1 card or a channel card from the database using the dlt-card command. The card being removed must exist in the database.

If a T1 card is being removed, then no T1 interfaces can be assigned to the card. This can be verified with the rtrv-t1 command. Go to the Removing the T1 Interface Parameters procedure to remove the T1 interfaces assigned to the T1 card being removed from the database.

If only a channel card is being removed from the database, then no SS7 signaling links can be assigned to the card. This can be verified with the rtrv-slk command. Go to the Removing an SS7 Signaling Link procedure to remove the signaling links assigned to the channel card being removed from the database.

Caution:

If the T1 card or channel card is the last SS7LIM in service, removing this card from the database will cause SS7 traffic to be lost and isolate the EAGLE 5 ISS from the network.

The examples in this procedure are used to remove the T1 cards in card locations 1207 and 1208.

1. Display the cards in the database using the rtrv-card command. This is an example of the possible output.

   Note:

   If a T1 card is being removed from the database, skip step 2 and go to step 3.
2. Display the signaling links on the channel card you wish to remove by entering the rtrv-slk command, specifying the card location shown in the rtrv-card command output. For this example, enter this command.

   rtrv-slk:loc=1208

   Go to the Removing an SS7 Signaling Link procedure to remove the signaling links assigned to the channel card.

   Note:

   If only a channel card is being removed from the database, skip step 3 and go to step 4.
3. Display the T1 interfaces assigned to the T1 card being removed from the database using the rtrv-t1 command with no parameters.

   Go to the Removing the T1 Interface Parameters procedure to remove the T1 interfaces assigned to the T1 card.

4. Remove the card using the dlt-card command. The dlt-card command has only one parameter, loc, which is the location of the card. For this example, enter these commands.

   dlt-card:loc=1207

   dlt-card:loc=1208

5. Verify the changes using the rtrv-card command specifying the card that was removed in step 4. For this example, enter these commands.

   rtrv-card:loc=1207

   rtrv-card:loc=1208

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

   E2144 Cmd Rej: Location invalid for hardware configuration
   

6. 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.
