Verifying the New Adjacent Point Code or New Secondary Point Code for a Linkset

This procedure is used to verify that the new adjacent point code or new secondary point code for a linkset whose attributes are being changed is in the database.

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.

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.

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, perform Adding a Destination Point Code to add the APC to the destination point code table.

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.

Canceling the RTRV-LS and RTRV-DSTN Commands

Because the rtrv-ls and rtrv-dstn commands used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-ls and rtrv-dstn commands can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-ls and rtrv-dstn commands can be canceled.

• Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-ls or rtrv-dstn commands were entered.
• Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-ls or rtrv-dstn commands were entered.
• Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-ls or rtrv-dstn commands were entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rtrv-ls or rtrv-dstn commands were 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 the Commands Manual.

1. Perform one of the following steps.

   The APC and linkset type for a proxy linkset (LST=PRX) cannot be changed. A secondary point code and a secondary adjacent point code cannot be specified for a proxy linkset. If the attributes of a proxy linkset (LST=PRX) are being changed, This procedure is finished.

   If you wish to change the APC of a linkset to an APC that is assigned to another linkset and multiple linksets with the same APC are shown in the rtrv-ls output, continue the procedure with 3. If multiple linksets with the same APC are not shown in the rtrv-ls output, continue the procedure with 2.

   If you wish to change the secondary point code that is assigned to a linkset and multiple linksets with the same APC are shown in the rtrv-ls output, continue the procedure with 3. If multiple linksets with the same APC are not shown in the rtrv-ls output, continue the procedure with 2.

   If you wish to change the APC of a linkset to an APC that is not assigned to another linkset or do not wish to change the secondary point code that is assigned to a linkset, output, continue the procedure with 12.

2. Verify whether or not the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC feature is enabled and turned on by entering this command.

   rtrv-ctrl-feat:partnum=893017901

   This is an example of the possible output.

   Zero entries found.
   

   If the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC feature is not enabled or turned on, perform Activating the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC (MLS) Feature to enable and turn on this feature. After this feature has been enabled and turned on, and the APC of the linkset is being changed, continue the procedure with 3. If only the secondary point code that is assigned to the linkset is being changed, continue the procedure with 4.

   If the Multiple Linksets to Single Adjacent PC feature is enabled and turned on, and the APC of the linkset is being changed, continue the procedure with 3. If only the secondary point code that is assigned to the linkset is being changed, continue the procedure with 4.

3. A maximum of six linksets can be assigned to an APC. Verify the number of linksets that are assigned to the new APC of the linkset that is being changed by entering the rtrv-ls command with the new APC of the linkset. For this example, enter this command.

   rtrv-ls:apca=002-002-002

   This is an example of the possible output.

   To use the APC displayed in this step, the secondary point code assigned to the linkset shown in 4cannot be shown in this step, unless the secondary point code that is assigned to the linkset shown in this step is changed. If you wish to change the secondary point code assigned to the linkset shown in this step, continue the procedure with 6.

   If you do not wish to change the secondary point code assigned to the linkset shown in this step, choose another APC for the linkset from the rtrv-ls output in 1 (in Changing an SS7 Linkset) and repeat this procedure from2.

   If the secondary point code assigned to the linkset shown in 4 is not shown in this step, the new APC for the linkset can be used. However, the secondary point code that is assigned to the linkset can also be changed. If you wish to change the secondary point code and the APC, continue the procedure with 6. If you only wish to change the APC of the linkset, continue the procedure with 13.

6. To change the secondary point code that is assigned to the linkset, verify the secondary point code by displaying the linkset that is being changed by entering the rtrv-ls command with the name of the linkset. For this example, enter this command.

   Note:

   If 4 was performed, this step does need to be performed.

   If a secondary point code is not assigned to the linkset, continue the procedure with 8.

   If a secondary point code is assigned to the linkset, the secondary point code can be changed to another secondary point code value or can be removed from the linkset. If you wish to change the secondary point code to another secondary point code value, continue the procedure with 8. If you wish to remove the secondary point code value from the linkset, continue the procedure with 7.

7. Only one linkset can be assigned to an APC that does not have a secondary point code. Verify the secondary point codes of the linksets that are assigned to the APC specified in 6 by entering the rtrv-ls command with the APC of the linkset specified in 6. For this example, enter this command.

   If one linkset is shown in this step that does not have a secondary point code, then no secondary point codes can be removed from any of the linksets shown in this step. The secondary point code value can be changed to another secondary point code value. If you wish to change the secondary point code value to another secondary point code value, continue the procedure with 8.

   If all the linksets shown in this step have a secondary point code, then the secondary point code from one of these linksets can be removed. If the APC of the linkset is also being changed (3, 4,5 were performed), continue the procedure with 13. If the APC of the linkset is not being changed, this procedure is finished..

8. Display the secondary point codes by entering the rtrv-spc command. This is an example of the possible output.

   If the desired secondary point code is shown in this step, continue the procedure with 9.

   If the desired secondary point code is not shown in this step, perform Adding a Secondary Point Code to add the desired secondary point code. The network type of the new secondary point code must be the same as the APC of the linkset. If the APC of the linkset is being changed, after the secondary point code has been added, continue the procedure with 13. If the APC of the linkset is not being changed, after the secondary point code has been added, this procedure is finished..

9. Verify the secondary point codes of the linksets that are assigned to the APC specified in 6 by entering the rtrv-ls command with the APC of the linkset specified in 6. For this example, enter this command.

    Alias table is (18 of 8000) 1% full
    

    If the adjacent point code is not shown in the rtrv-dstn command output, perform the Adding a Destination Point Code procedure to add the adjacent point code to the destination point code table. After the adjacent point code has been added, this procedure is finished.

    If the adjacent point code is shown in the rtrv-dstn output, continue the procedure with 13.

13. The new APC of the linkset cannot be the DPC of any exception route.

    Verify that the new adjacent point code of the linkset is not the DPC of any exception route by entering the rtrv-rtx command with the dpc/dpca/dpci/dpcn/ dpcn24 parameter. The dpc/dpca/dpci/dpcn/dpcn24 parameter value is the adjacent point code value that will be specified for the linkset. For this example, enter these commands.

    rtrv-rtx:dpca=240-070-000

    This is an example of the possible output.

    If the adjacent point code of the linkset is not the DPC of a route exception table entry, no entries are displayed in the rtrv-rtx output, but a summary of the point code quanties is displayed, as shown in the following output example.

    If the point code specified in this step is shown in the DPCA column in this step, the point code value cannot be used as an adjacent point code unless one of two actions are taken:

    1. Choose another adjacent point code value and repeat 11, 12, and 13.
    2. Remove all the entries displayed in this step by performing Removing a Route Exception Entry. After the route exception entires have been removed, this procedure is finished.
