Configuring the Measurements Terminal for an EAGLE Containing 700 Signaling Links

This procedure is used to configure a terminal to collect measurement reports on an EAGLE that contains from 501 to 700 signaling links. The chg-trm command is used to configure this terminal and uses these parameters to configure this terminal.

Note:

The terminal being configured in this procedure must be terminals 1 through 16. Telnet terminals cannot be specified in this procedure.

:trm – Serial port number

:baud – Serial port baud rate

:sb – The number of stop bits used in communications with the device

:prty – Parity used by the device

:type – The type of device being connected.

:fc – The type of flow control used between the EAGLE and the output devices (vt320 terminal, modem, printer, or KSR terminal).

:tmout – The maximum amount of time that a login session on the specified port can remain idle (that is, no user input) on the port before being automatically logged off.

:mxinv – The login failure threshold

:dural – The length of time that the terminal is disabled after the login failure threshold has been exceeded.

:all – All unsolicited messages are received by the specified port

:traf – Traffic measurement related unsolicited messages are received by the specified port

Note:

There are other parameters that can be used with the chg-trm command but these parameters cannot be used in this procedure. For more information on these parameters, go to Changing Terminal Characteristics procedure, or to the chg-trm command description in Commands User's Guide.

The measurement terminal must be configured with these parameter values:

trm=<terminal being changed>
baud=19200
type=ksr
traf=yes – all other output message groups must be set to no.

The other parameters listed in this procedure do not have to be specified with the chg-trm command. If these parameters are not specified with the chg-trm command, these default values will be assigned to the measurements terminal:

prty – even
sb – 1
fc – sw (software)
tmout – 30 minutes
mxinv – 5
dural – 100 (1 minute, 0 seconds)

The terminal must be placed out of service before it can be configured.

If the terminal being changed has output message groups other than traf set to yes, the all=no parameter must be specified with the chg-trm command. The chg-trm command can then specified with the traf=yes parameter.

The messages assigned to the output message groups defined by the traf parameters are listed in Unsolicited Alarm and Information Messages Reference.

The tmout, dural, and mxinv parameters can be applied to this terminal. See the "Security Parameters" section in the Changing Terminal Characteristics procedure for more information on these parameters.

The total value of the terminals’ baud rate cannot be greater than 172,032. If the total baud rate of the terminals exceeds 172,032, change the baud rates of the terminals so that the total baud rate is not greater than 172,032.

The output of the rtrv-trm command is displayed in two parts. The first part displays the communication security attributes of the terminal. The communication attributes of the terminal, BAUD, PRTY (parity), SB (stop bits), and DBTS (data bits), are displayed in the COMM field of the rtrv-trm output and are displayed in this format: BAUD–DBTS–PRTY–SB. The second part of the rtrv-trm command output displays the types of unsolicited messages the terminal may receive. An example of the rtrv-trm command output is shown in this example.

In this example, terminal 3 is running at 9600 baud with 7 data bits, even parity, and 1 stop bit.

The examples in this procedure are used to configure terminal 1 as the measurements terminal.

Display the values of all terminals using the rtrv-trm command.

This is an example of the possible output.

Inhibit the terminal you wish to change using the rmv-trm command and specify the port you wish to inhibit.
For this example, enter this command.

rmv-trm:trm=1

When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 15:08:45 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
Inhibit message sent to terminal

rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 15:08:45 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
Command Completed.
```
Verify that the terminal that was inhibited in step 4 is in the OOS-MT-DSBLD state by entering the rept-stat-trm command.
For this command, enter this command.

rept-stat-trm:trm=1

This is an example of the possible output.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 15:08:45 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0

Configure the measurements terminal using the chg-trm command and making sure that only the traf output message group is set to yes.
1. If the output of the rtrv-trm command output in step 1 shows that all the output message groups are set to no, then only the traf=yes parameter needs to be specified for the output message group assignments as show in this example.
  
  chg-trm:trm=1:type=ksr:baud=19200:traf=yes
2. If however, the rtrv-trm command output shows that output message groups other than traf are set to yes, the chg-trm command must be entered with the all=no and the traf=yes parameter as shown in this example.
  
  chg-trm:trm=1:type=ksr:baud=19200:traf=yes:all=no
For this example enter the command shown in substep b.

When the chg-trm command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 15:08:45 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
CHG-TRM: MASP A - COMPLTD
```

Verify the changes made in step 4 by using the rtrv-trm command with the port number specified in step 4.

For this example, enter this command.

rtrv-trm:trm=1

This is an example of the possible output.

rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 16:02:08 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0

When the changes are complete, and if the terminal was inhibited in step 4, activate the terminal using the rst-trm command.
For this example, enter this command.

rst-trm:trm=1

When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 15:08:45 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
Allow message sent to terminal
```

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.
