Activating the Hex Digit Support for GTT Feature

This procedure is used to enable and turn on the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature using the feature’s part number.

The feature access key for the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature is based on the feature’s part number and the serial number of the EAGLE, making the feature access key site-specific.

The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the feature by inputting the feature’s access key and the feature’s part number with these parameters:

:fak – The feature access key provided. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.

:partnum – The issued part number of the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature, 893018501.

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires that the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE, 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, with 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).

This feature cannot be temporarily enabled (with the temporary feature access key).

Once this feature is enabled, the feature is also activated. The chg-ctrl-feat command cannot be used to turn this feature on. Once this feature is enabled, the feature cannot be turned off.

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

The Hex Digit Support for GTT feature requires that DSMs or SLIC cards are installed and provisioned in the EAGLE. DSM cards are shown by the entry dsm in the TYPE column and vsccp in the APPL column of the rtrv-card output. SLIC cards are shown as type=dsm (in the odd numbered card slots) or type=slic (in the even numbered card slots), and appl=vsccp.

Before the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature can be enabled, the GTT feature must be turned on. The state of the GTT feature can be verified using the rtrv-feat command.

  1. Display the status of the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    Zero entries found.
    
    The following features have expired temporary keys:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum
    Zero entries found.

    If the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature is enabled, the entry Hex Digit Support for GTT is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output. No further action is necessary. This procedure does not need to be performed.

    If the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature is not enabled, continue the procedure with 2.

  2. Verify the GTT feature is on, by entering the rtrv-feat command. If the GTT feature is on, the GTT field should be set to on.

    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 GTT feature is not on, perform Adding a Service Module to turn the GTT feature on and add SMs or SLIC cards to the EAGLE. After the GTT feature is turned on and the SMs or SLIC have been added, continue the procedure with 4.

    If the GTT feature is on, continue the procedure with 3.

  3. Display the cards in the EAGLE using the rtrv-card command. The Hex Digit Support for GTT feature requires that DSMs or SLIC running the VSCCP application are in the database. This is an example of the possible output.

    SMs and SLIC cards run the VSCCP application.

    SM cards are shown by the entry dsm in the TYPE column and vsccp in the APPL column of the rtrv-card output. SLIC cards are shown as type=dsm (in the odd numbered card slots) or type=slic (in the even numbered card slots), and appl=vsccp.

    If no service modules are shown in the rtrv-card output, perform Adding a Service Module to add SMs to the EAGLE. After the SMs or SLIC have been added, continue the procedure with 4.

    If SMs or SLICs running the VSCCP application are in the EAGLE, continue the procedure with 4.

  4. Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command.

    Note:

    If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in 1 shows any controlled features, continue the procedure with 8. 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.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    System serial number = nt00001231
    
    System serial number is not locked.
    
    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    Command Completed.
  5. Enter the correct serial number into the database using the ent-serial-num command with the serial parameter.

    Note:

    If the serial number is correct and locked, continue the procedure with 8. If the serial number is correct but not locked, continue the procedure with 7. If the serial number is not correct, but is locked, this feature cannot be enabled and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed. Contact My Oracle Support to get an incorrect and locked serial number changed. Refer to My Oracle Support (MOS) for the contact information. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).

    For this example, enter this command.

    ent-serial-num:serial=<EAGLE’s correct serial number>

    When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
  6. Verify that the serial number entered in 5 was entered correctly using the rtrv-serial-num command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    System serial number = nt00001231
    
    System serial number is not locked.
    
    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    Command Completed.

    If the serial number was not entered correctly, repeat 5 and 6 and re-enter the correct serial number.

  7. Lock the serial number in the database by entering the ent-serial-num command with the serial number shown in 4, if the serial number shown in 4 is correct, or with the serial number shown in 6, if the serial number was changed in 5, and with the lock=yes parameter.

    For this example, enter this command.

    ent-serial-num:serial=<EAGLE’s serial number>:lock=yes

    When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
  8. Enable the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature with the enable-ctrl-feat command specifying the part number for the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature. Enter this command.

    enable-ctrl-feat:partnum=893018501

    Note:

    The Hex Digit Support for GTT feature cannot be enabled with a temporary feature access key.

    When the enable-crtl-feat command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
