Activating the Throughput Capacity Feature

This procedure is used to enable a quantity of SCCP transactions per second for the Throughput Capacity feature on E5-SM8G-B/SLIC hardware using the quantity's part number and a feature access key.

The feature access key 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 Throughput Capacity feature on E5-SM8G-B/SLIC hardware 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 quantity of SCCP transactions per seconds that is being enabled. These are the quantities that can be enabled and their part numbers.

893019101 - 5000 SCCP transactions per second
893019102 - 6800 SCCP transactions per second
893019103 - 10000 SCCP transactions per second
893019104 - 13600 SCCP transactions per second

A temporary feature access key cannot be used to enable a quantity of SCCP transactions per second.

The GTT feature must be turned on to enable a quantity of SCCP transactions per second

The status of the GTT feature is shown in the rtrv-feat command output.

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 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).

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

Table 2-35 in the Adding a Service Module procedure shows the maximum system transactions per second capacities that can be achieved when the Throughput Capacity feature onE5-SM8G-B/SLIC hardware is enabled with a quantity of 5000, 6800, 10,000, and 13,600 SCCP transactions per second.

Display the status of the Throughput Capacity feature by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. This is an example of the possible output.

```
The Throughput Capacity feature on E5-SM8G-B/SLIC can be enabled for a quantity of 5000 SCCP transactions per second or 6800 SCCP transactions per second.
Note:
If the 5000 SCCP transactions per second quantity is enabled, and an EPAP-based feature is enabled, the number of SCCP transactions per second is limited to 3125..

If the Throughput Capacity feature is enabled 6800 SCCP transactions per second, shown by the entry E5-SM4G Throughput Cap with the value 6800 in the Quantity column, no further action is necessary. This is the maximum number of SCCP transactions per second that can be enabled.

If the quantity for the Throughput Capacity feature is 5000 SCCP transactions per second, and you wish to enable the 6800 SCCP transactions per second quantity, continue the procedure with 8. If you do not wish to enable the 6800 SCCP transactions per second quantity, then the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed.

If neither the quantities of 5000 or 6800 SCCP transactions per second are shown in the Quantity column of the rtrv-ctrl-feat output, continue the procedure with 2.
To enable the Throughput Capacity feature, the GTT feature must be turned on. The GTT feature is shown by the entry GTT in the rtrv-feat output.

Enter the rtrv-feat command to verify whether or not the GTT feature is on.

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

If the GTT feature is turned off, perform Adding a Service Module to turn the GTT feature on and to add the required number of cards to the database. After Adding a Service Module has been performed, continue the procedure with 4.

Verify the number of cards that are provisioned in the database using the rept-stat-gpl:gpl=sccphc command. This is an example of the possible output.

Command Completed

If the required number of cards are provisioned in the database, continue the procedure with 4 .

If the required number of cards are not provisioned in the database, perform Adding a Service Module to add the required number of cards to the database. After Adding a Service Module has been performed, continue the procedure with 4 .

Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command. This is an example of the possible output.
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.

```
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 the Customer Care Center 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).
Enter the correct serial number into the database using the ent-serial-num command with the serial parameter.
For this example, enter this command.

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

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

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