Activating the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS) Feature

This procedure is used to enable and turn on the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS) feature with the enable-ctrl-feat and chg-ctrl-feat commands.

The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS) feature by specifying the part number and feature access key for this feature with these parameters:

:fak – The feature access key supplied by Oracle. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive. If you do not have the feature access key for the proxy point code quantity you wish to enable, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number for the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS), 893019701.

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires a valid serial number for the EAGLE to be configured in the database, and that this serial number is locked. This can be verified with the rtrv-serial-num command. The EAGLE is shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number is not locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the EAGLE is on-site, by using the ent-serial-num command. The ent-serial-num command uses these parameters.

:serial – The serial number assigned to the EAGLE. The serial number is not case sensitive.

:lock – Specifies whether or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value, yes, which locks the serial number. Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.

Note:

To enter and lock the EAGLE’s serial number, the ent-serial-num command must be entered twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the serial parameter, then again with the serial and the lock=yes parameters to lock the serial number. You should verify that the serial number in the database is correct before locking the serial number. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).

To enable the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS) feature, the Multiple Point Code feature must be turned on using the chg-feat command. The rtrv-feat command shows whether or not the Multiple Point Code feature is turned on.

Note:

Once the Multiple Point Code feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

The Multiple Point Code feature must be purchased before you turn this feature on with the chg-feat command. If you are not sure if you have purchased the Multiple Point Code feature, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

The chg-ctrl-feat command uses these parameters:

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number of the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS) feature, 893019701.

:status=on – used to turn the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS) feature on.

The status of this feature in the EAGLE is shown with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

After this feature is enabled and turned on, an adjacent point code can be assigned to a maximum of six linksets.

Display the features that are enabled by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand.

The following is an example of the possible output.

If the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS) feature is enabled and turned on, the entry MLS is shown in the permanently enabled section of the rtrv-ctrl-feat output. If the status of the Origin-Based MTP Routing feature is on, no further action can be performed.

If the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS) feature is enabled but not turned on, continue the procedure with 9.

If the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS) feature is not enabled, continue the procedure with 2.

Enter the rtrv-feat command and verify that the Multiple Point Code feature is turned on.

If the Multiple Point Code feature is on, the MPC = on entry appears in the output.

Note:
The rtrv-feat command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-feat command, see the rtrv-feat command description in Commands User's Guide.

If the Multiple Point Code feature is not on, continue the procedure with 3.

If the Multiple Point Code feature is on, continue the procedure with 4.

If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in 1 shows any controlled features, continue the procedure with Oracle. If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIM SLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, 4 through 7 must be performed.
Turn the Multiple Point Code feature on by entering this command.
chg-feat:mpc=on

Note:
Once the Multiple Point Code feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.
