:lsn
– The name of the linkset
:nlsn
– The new name of the linkset
:apc/apca/apci/apcn/apcn24
– Adjacent point code – the point code identifying the node that is next to the EAGLE. The adjacent point code can be one of the following types of point codes:
:spc/spca/spci/spcn/spcn24
– Secondary point code used for multiple linksets that have the same APC, or the value none
. If the value none
is specified, the existing secondary point code that is assigned to the linkset is removed. Secondary point codes can be used only if the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC feature is enabled and turned on (shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat
output. The secondary point code can be one of the following types of point codes:
Note:
Refer to Point Code Formats for a definition of the point code types that are used on the EAGLE and for a definition of the different formats that can be used for ITU national point codes. Private point codes can be assigned only to IPGWx linksets. The procedures for configuring IPGWx linksets are in Database Administration - IP7 User's Guide.:apcntype
– Specifies whether or not the linkset containing either a 14-bit ITU-N adjacent point code or a 24-bit ITU-N adjacent point code is being used in China (apcntype=itunchina
) or in countries other than China (apcntype=itun
). Signaling links in linksets with the apcntype=itunchina
parameter are handled according to the specifications in YD/N 068-1997, Technical Specification of National No.7 Signaling System - Message Transfer Part (MTP). Signaling links in linksets with the apcntype=itun
parameter are handled according to the specifications in ITU-T Q.2210 (07/96), Switching and Signaling, Broadband ISDN- Signaling Network Protocols. The default value for the apcntype
parameter is itun
.rtrv-ls
output with the LSN (CHINA)
column (and with either the APCN
or APCN24
column) have the acpntype=itunchina
parameter assigned to them.rtrv-ls
output with the LSN
column (and with either the APCN
or APCN24
column) have the acpntype=itun
parameter assigned to them.:lst
– The linkset type of the specified linkset
:clli
– The Common Language Location Identifier assigned to this point code. The value of the clli
parameter is only displayed in the rtrv-ls
command output when a specific linkset is being displayed with the rtrv-ls:lsn=<linkset name>
command.
:sltset
– The signaling link test message record to be associated with the linkset.
:l3tset
– The level 3 timer set table. This parameter identifies which level three timer set is to be assigned to this linkset. Currently, only one is supported.
:scrn
– The name of the screenset to be assigned to this linkset if gateway screening is to be used.
:gwsa
– Gateway screening action determines whether gateway screening (GWS) is on or off for the specified link set.
:gwsm
– Gateway screening messaging is used to turn on or off the display of messages generated for each screened message. When an MSU is rejected by gateway screening, a message is output to alert personnel of the event.
:gwsd
– Gateway screening MSU discard is used to turn on or off the discarding of MSUs that bypass the gateway screening function due to load shedding. Also use this parameter with the redirect function; MSUs that cannot be screened are discarded if you specify gwsd=on
.
:bei
– The broadcast exception indicator. This parameter indicates whether TFP (transfer prohibited) messages are allowed to be broadcast on the linkset. The yes
parameter means TFPs are not broadcast. The no
parameter means TFPs are broadcast.
tfatcabmlq
– the TFA/TCA broadcast minimum link quantity shows the minimum number of signaling links in the given link set (or in the combined link set in which it resides) that must be available for traffic. When the number of signaling links in the specified linkset is equal to or greater than the value of the tfatcabmlq
parameter, the status of the routes that use the specified linkset is set to allowed and can carry traffic. Otherwise, these routes are restricted. The value of the tfatcabmlq
parameter cannot exceed the total number of signaling links contained in the linkset. The system default value for the tfatcabmlq
parameter is 0.tfatcabmlq
parameter is only displayed in the rtrv-ls
command output when a specific linkset is being displayed with the rtrv-ls:lsn=<linkset name>
command.tfatcabmlq
parameter exists only in the chg-ls
command and not the ent-ls
command, because no links are assigned to the linkset when the linkset is first created with the ent-ls
command. The default value for the tfatcabmlq
parameter (tfatcabmlq=0
) is entered for the linkset, and shown in the rtrv-ls
output as 1, when a new linkset is added to the database. tfatcabmlq
parameter value is 0, the EAGLE 5 ISS broadcasts TFAs/TCAs only when 1/2 of the links in the linkset (or in the combined link set in which it resides) become available. The tfatcabmlq
parameter value displayed in the rtrv-ls
output is 1/2 of the number of signaling links contained in the linkset. If the number of signaling links in the linkset is an odd number, the tfatcabmlq
parameter value is rounded up to the next whole number. As signaling links are added or removed from the linkset, the tfatcabmlq
parameter value will be changed automatically. lst=c
parameter is specified, or when the current (unchanged) LST
value is C
, the tfatcabmlq
parameter cannot be specified unless the LSRESTRICT
SS7 option is on
. The state of the LSRESTRICT
SS7 option is shown in the rtrv-ss7opts
output. :nis
– specifies whether the National Spare for Network Indicator feature is on or off for the specific linkset. This feature allows the linkset to use the national spare value (3) for the network indicator code field in the service information octet (SIO) of the MSU for ANSI linksets and ITU national linksets (linksets containing either 14-bit ITU-N point codes or 24-bit ITU-N point codes). This parameter cannot be specified for ITU international linksets. The default value for the nis
parameter is off
.nis
parameter is set to off
, the network indicator code value is set to 2.nis
parameter value is ignored for ITU-I and 14-bit ITU-N linksets. All the network indicator values are permitted on ITU-I and ITU-N linksets, and the network indicator value for transmission is based on the International/National and Spare/Non-Spare status of the DPC of the message. nis
parameter value determines which incoming network indicator spare bit values to permit, and what network indicator spare bit value should be transmitted.Table 3-11 Actions of the National Spare for Network Indicator Feature

The network indicator code value in the MSU is set to the national spare network indicator code (3). |
:itutfr
– specifies whether or not ITU TFR (transfer restricted) procedures are being used on the linkset. This parameter applies only to linksets with ITU national adjacent point codes (linksets containing either 14-bit ITU-N point codes or 24-bit ITU-N point codes) and can be specified only for linksets with ITU national adjacent point codes. TFR procedures are used to redirect traffic away from a node that is having problems routing traffic to a destination. When a node determines that a destination is restricted, the node sends a TFR message informing the adjacent nodes about the destination’s status. When a destination is restricted, the node should not be used to route messages to the destination even though it still has limited capability to do so. The values for this parameter are either on (ITU TFR procedures are enabled) or off (ITU TFR procedures are disabled). For more information on the itutfr
parameter and ITUTFR procedures, refer to ITU TFR Procedures.
:mtprse
– shows if the node adjacent to the EAGLE is equipped with the MTP restart capability. The mtprse=yes
parameter can only be specified if the MTP restart feature is turned on for ANSI linksets (MTPRS = on
in the rtrv-feat
command output), or if the ITU MTP restart is on for ITU linksets (ITUMTPRS=on
in the rtrv-feat
command output). If the MTP restart feature is not turned on, the value of the mtprse
parameter defaults to no
. The value of the mtprse
parameter value is not dependent on the value of the mtprsi
parameter (the MTP restart indicator) in the chg-stpopts
command. The value of the mtprse
parameter is only displayed in the rtrv-ls
command output when a specific linkset is being displayed with the rtrv-ls:lsn=<linkset name>
command. For more information on the mtprse
parameter and MTP restart, refer to Configuring the MTP Restart Feature.
:slsci
– indicates whether the 5-bit to 8-bit SLS conversion feature is used to select signaling links for outgoing messages on the specified link set. If the slsci=yes
parameter is specified, the EAGLE replaces any 5-bit SLS values contained in received messages with a random 8-bit value before they are used by the EAGLE to select the outgoing signaling link in that linkset. The 5-bit to 8-bit SLS conversion is also controlled by the slscnv
parameter of the chg-stpopts
command. The slscnv
parameter of the chg-stpopts
command has three values: on
, off
, and perls
. The slsci
parameter can only be specified for linksets with ANSI SS7 adjacent point codes.
:asl8
– shows if the node adjacent to the EAGLE 5 ISS is sending MSUs with 8-bit SLSs. If the asl8=yes
parameter is specified with the lst=a
parameter (a linkset containing access signaling links), this indicates that the originator of the MSUs is generating 8-bit SLSs. For other linkset types, the asl8=yes
parameter indicates that the adjacent node is converting 5-bit SLSs to 8-bit SLSs. The SLS in MSUs received by the EAGLE on a linkset that has the asl8=yes
parameter assigned to it will not be converted. These MSUs are assumed to contain 8-bit SLSs. If the asl8=no
parameter is specified for the linkset, the SLS will be converted to an 8-bit SLS. The asl8
parameter can only be specified for linksets with ANSI SS7 adjacent point codes. The value of the asl8
parameter is only displayed in the rtrv-ls
command output when a specific linkset is being displayed with the rtrv-ls:lsn=<linkset name>
command.
For more information on the slsci
and asl8
parameters and 5-bit to 8-bit conversion, refer to Configuring the 5-Bit to 8-Bit SLS Conversion Feature.
:slsrsb
– selects which bit (1 - 4) of the SLS field to use as the least significant bit for signaling link selection in the link set for all ITU messages on outgoing ITU linksets.
:islsrsb
– selects which bit of the SLS field, 1 - 8 for an ANSI linkset or 1 - 4 for an ITU linkset, to use as the least significant bit for signaling link selection in the link set for all messages on ANSI and ITU linksets on incoming linksets. If you wish to use the values 6, 7, or 8 for the islsrsb
parameter of a ANSI linkset, the rsls8
value for the linkset must be yes
. Perform Configuring the RSLS8 Value for ANSI Linksets to change the rsls8
value for the linkset to yes
.
:slsocbit
– selects which bit (5 - 16) of the SLS field to use as the most significant bit for signaling link selection in the link set for all ITU messages.
For more information on the slsrsb
, islsrsb
, and slsocbit
parameters and ITU SLS enhancement, refer to ITU SLS Enhancement.
:multgc
– specifies whether multiple group codes are supported for the linkset. When this parameter value is yes
, secondary adjacent point codes whose group codes are different from the adjacent point code of the linkset can be assigned to the linkset. If the parameter value is no
, the group code of the secondary adjacent point code must be the same as the group code of the linkset’s adjacent point code. For more information on secondary adjacent point codes, go to the Configuring an ITU Linkset with a Secondary Adjacent Point Code (SAPC) procedure.rtrv-feat
command. If the ITU duplicate point code feature is turned on, the ITUDUPPC
field should be set to on
. If the ITU duplicate point code feature is not turned on, enter the chg-feat:ituduppc=on
command.Note:
Once the ITU duplicate point code feature is turned on with thechg-feat
command, it cannot be turned off.The ITU duplicate point code feature must be purchased before you turn the feature on with the chg-feat
command. If you are not sure if you have purchased the ITU duplicate point code feature, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.
:gttmode
– The GTT mode assigned to the linkset when performing global title translation on the specified linkset. The values for this parameter are:sysdflt

– The random SLS value assigned to the linkset. This parameter is used to apply random SLS generation for the specified linkset.
randsls
parameter has three values:off
– Random SLS generation is not applied to the specified linkset.class0
– Random SLS generation is applied to only Class 0 SCCP messages on either incoming ANSI or outgoing ITU linksets.all
– Random SLS generation is applied to both Class 0 and Class 1 SCCP messages on outgoing ITU linksets, or to Class 0 SCCP messages and ISUP messages on ANSI linksets.For more information about random SLS generation on a specific linkset, refer to Per-Linkset Random SLS.
:cggtmod
- The calling party GT modification indicator. This parameter specifies whether or not calling party global title modification is required. The values for this parameter are yes
(calling party global title modification is required) or no
(calling party global title modification is not required). This parameter can be specified only if the AMGTT or AMGTT CgPA Upgrade feature is enabled. Enter the rtrv-ctrl-feat
command to verify that either the AMGTT or AMGTT CgPA Upgrade feature is enabled. If the AMGTT or AMGTT CgPA Upgrade feature is not enabled, perform the "Activating the Advanced GT Modification Feature" procedure in Database Administration - GTT User's Guide procedure to enable the required feature. For more information about the Advanced GT Modification feature, refer to the "Advanced GT Modification Feature" section in Database Administration - GTT User's Guide.
The EAGLE can contain 1024 linksets, with a maximum of 255 of these linksets being gateway linksets. A gateway linkset is a linkset that contains routes to a different network.
The linkset to be changed must exist in the database.
If the adjacent point code (APC) is changed, the new APC must be in the destination point code table and must be defined as a true point code in the destination point code table and cannot be an alias point code. The domain and point code type of the new APC must be the same as the APC being changed. For example, if the current adjacent point code is an ITU-I point code, the new adjacent point code must be an ITU-I point code. The new APC of the linkset cannot match the self ID of the EAGLE. The new APC must be a full point code and cannot be a cluster point code or a network routing point code.
Linksets containing E1 ATM signaling links cannot contain 24-bit ITU-N APCs or SAPCs. E1 ATM signaling links are identified by the value LIME1ATM
in the TYPE
column of the rtrv-ls:lsn=<linkset name>
output.
The signaling link configuration of the linkset can be verified by entering the rtrv-ls:lsn=<linkset name>
command.
Use the rtrv-dstn
command to verify that the new APC is in the destination point code table and to verify the domain of the new APC. If the new APC is not shown in the rtrv-dstn
command output, go to the Adding a Destination Point Code procedure and add the APC to the destination point code table.
To change the APC of a linkset, all signaling links in the linkset must be in the OOS-MT-DSBLD state.
The gwsa
, gwsm
, and gwsd
parameters can only be specified if the scrn
parameter is defined. Enter the rtrv-ls
command to verify that the scrn
parameter is defined for the specified linkset. If the scrn
parameter is defined, a gateway screening screen set name is shown in the SCRN
field of the output. This gateway screening screen set name must also be defined as a gateway screening screen set entity. This can be verified with the rtrv-scrset
command.
Caution:
When Gateway Screening is in the screen test mode, as defined by the linkset parametersgwsa=off
and gwsm=on
, the gateway screening action in the gateway screening stop action set specified by the actname
parameter of the gateway screening screen set at the end of the gateway screening process will be performed.The chg-ls
command has a parameter, gwsd
, that can allow the discarding of messages that should have gone through the gateway screening process, but could not. The gwsd
parameter is only intended to be used with the database transport access (DTA) feature. If you are not using the DTA feature, the gwsd
parameter should not be specified or should be set to no (gwsd=no
).
If the gwsa=off
parameter is specified, then the gwsd=off
parameter must be specified.
To help manage congestion on signaling links, the EAGLE starts the level 3 T31 timer whenever a signaling link goes into congestion level 1 or congestion level 2. The congestion level that is associated with the level 3 T31 timer is set using the chg-stpopts
command with the mtpt31ctl
parameter and is displayed with the MTPT31CTL
field in the rtrv-stpopts
command output. When the level 3 timer T31 and the chg-stpopts
command are first introduced to the EAGLE, the system default value for the mtpt31ctl
parameter of the chg-stpopts
command is 1, for congestion level 1, and the system default value for the level 3 T31 timer is 60 seconds. To change the value of the level 3 T31 timer, perform Changing Level 3 Timers. To change value of the mtpt31ctl
parameter, enter the either chg-stpopts:mtpt31ctl=1
or the chg-stpopts:mtpt31ctl=2
command, depending on the current value of the mtpt31ctl
parameter.
To help prevent the signaling link in the linkset from oscillating in out of service, the EAGLE starts the level 3 T32 timer. When the EAGLE begins restoring an out of service signaling link, the EAGLE starts the level 3 T32 timer.If the signaling link fails again before the level 3 T32 expires, the EAGLE does not attempt to continue to bring the signaling link into service until the level 3 T32 timer expires. Once the level 3 T32 timer expires, the EAGLE attempts to restore the signaling link into service. When the level 3 timer T32 is first introduced to the EAGLE, the system default value for the level 3 T32 timer is 60 seconds. To change the value of the level 3 T32 timer, perform Changing Level 3 Timers.
The word SEAS
cannot be used as a value for the scrn
parameter of the chg-ls
command. The word SEAS
is used in the rtrv-ls
command output, in the SCRN
field, to show gateway linksets created on the SEAS interface. A gateway linkset combines the functions of a gateway screening screen set and an SS7 linkset specifying the gwsa=on
and scrn
parameters. Like an EAGLE gateway screening screen set, a gateway linkset defines the screening references that are to be used to screen the messages on the linkset. It also defines the linkset whose messages are to be screened. A gateway linkset can only be configured from a SEAS terminal and not from an EAGLE terminal.
If the clli
parameter is specified with the chg-ls
command, the value of the clli
parameter must match the CLLI value of the adjacent point code of the linkset. The CLLI value of the adjacent point code is shown in the CLLI
field of the rtrv-dstn
command.
The clli
parameter can only be specified with the apc
or apca
parameters.
If the randsls
parameter of the chg-stpopts
command is set to either all
or class0
, a maximum of 16 links continues to be supported in a single linkset to a destination. However, it is now possible to have up to 32 links in a combined linkset to a destination, with a maximum of 16 links per linkset. The 32 links is a change from the current EAGLE maximum of only 16 links per combined linkset, which is due to ITU protocol restrictions. If more than 16 links are used in a combined linkset, the operator needs to be aware that a maximum of 16 links can be used by non-Random SLS traffic over the linkset. The non-Random SLS traffic continues to operate under the rules of the ITU protocol. For more information on the Random SLS Generation feature, refer to Configuring the System for Random SLS Generation.
To provision 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 provisioned in the database with the ent-dstn
or chg-dstn
commands. The secondary point codes that are assigned to the linksets that have the same APC must be unique for each linkset and cannot be the same as the secondary point code that is assigned to the APC of the linksets.
The secondary point code that is assigned to a linkset can be removed from the linkset by specifying the value none
for the spc/spca/spci/spcn/spcn24
parameter. A secondary point code can be removed from only one of the linksets in a group of linksets that have the same APC.
If the linkset is a proxy linkset (linkset type PRX), the APC and linkset type of the linkset cannot be changed. A secondary point code and a secondary adjacent point code cannot be specified for a proxy linkset.
Other Optional Parameters
chg-ls
command contains other optional parameters that are not used this procedure. These parameters are discussed in more detail in Commands User's Guide or in these sections.The gsmscrn
parameter is used for the GSM MAP Screening feature. To configure an SS7 linkset for the GSM MAP Screening feature, perform the “Configuring a Linkset for the GSM MAP Screening Feature,” in Chapter 5, “GSM MAP Screening Configuration,” in Database Administration - Features User's Guide.
The network indicator (NI) value of messages on ITU-I or ITU-N linksets can be changed to other values by entering the icnimap
and ognimap
parameters of the chg-lsopts
command. Perform Configuring the ITU Linkset NI Mapping Options to change these values for the ITU-I or ITU-N linksets.
Canceling the RTRV-LS
Command
Because the rtrv-ls
command used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-ls
command can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-ls
command can be canceled.
F9
function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-ls
command was entered.canc-cmd
without the trm
parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-ls
command was entered.canc-cmd:trm=<xx>
, where <xx>
is the terminal where the rtrv-ls
command was entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rtrv-ls
command 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.
