Using Proxy Point Codes and Secondary Point Codes when Adding a Linkset

This procedure is used to verify that the following items are configured in the database.

Proxy point codes for adding proxy linksets
Secondary point codes for adding multiple linksets with the same adjacent point code.

To add a proxy linkset, a proxy point code must be assigned to the APC of the linkset, a proxy point code must be assigned to the linkset with the ppc/ppca/ppci/ppcn/ppcn24 parameter, and the linkset type must be prx. A quantity of proxy point codes must be enabled with the enable-ctrl-feat command before a proxy point code and a proxy linkset can be added. The first time a proxy linkset is added, the proxy point code that is assigned to the linkset must be the same proxy point code that is assigned to the APC of the proxy linkset. A maximum of 10 linksets can be added using the same proxy point code. For more information on proxy point codes, refer to Proxy Point Codes.

To add more than one linkset with the same APC, the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC feature must be enabled and turned on. The database can contain a maximum of six linksets that have the same APC. If the linkset is not a proxy linkset (linkset types A, B, C, D, or E), a secondary point code (shown in the rtrv-spc output) must be specified with the linkset. The network type and format of the secondary point code must be the same as the APC of the linkset. Secondary point codes can also be assigned to the APC of the linkset when the point code is added in the database with the ent-dstn or chg-dstn commands. The secondary point code that is assigned to the linkset with the spc/spca/spci/spcn/spcn24 parameter cannot be the same secondary point code that is assigned to the APC of the linkset.

If the linkset is a proxy linkset (linkset type PRX), a proxy point code (shown in the rtrv-dstn output) must be specified with the linkset. The proxy point code is assigned to the linkset with the ppc/ppca/ppci/ppcn/ppcn24 parameter. The network type and format of the proxy point code must be the same as the APC of the linkset. If proxy linksets are added, the database must contain one proxy linkset with a proxy point code assigned to the APC of the linkset and the same proxy point code must be assigned to the linkset. The proxy point code that is assigned to the other proxy linksets using this APC cannot be the same as the proxy point code that is assigned to the APC of the linkset.

Display the current linkset configuration using the rtrv-ls command.

This is an example of the possible output.

The maximum number of linksets that can use the same APC is six. If six linksets are shown in this step, the specified APC cannot be used with the new linkset. Select another APC from the rtrv-ls output in 1 and repeat this step.

If one to five linksets are shown in this step and the linksets are proxy linksets (lst=prx), continue the procedure with 6.

If one to five linksets are shown in this step and the linksets are not proxy linksets, continue the procedure with 4.
To use an APC for more than one linkset, a secondary point code must be assigned to the linkset. The secondary point code that will be assigned to the new linkset cannot be assigned to any of the linksets shown in 3.
The secondary point code that will be assigned to the linkset cannot be assigned to the APC of this linkset. Verify this by entering the rtrv-dstn command with the APC of the linkset shown in 3. For this example, enter this command.

The number of linksets using the proxy point code is the number shown in the PRX column. If 10 linksets are using the proxy point code, this proxy point code cannot be assigned to any other linkset. Repeat 6 and 7.
