Adding a GLS Card

This procedure is used to add a card to support the gateway screening feature (a GLS card), shown in Table 2-9, using the ent-card command.

Table 2-9 GLS Card Types

Card Type Part Number
SLIC 7094646

The ent-card command uses these parameters.

:loc – The location of the card being added to the database.

:type – The type of card being added to the database. For this procedure, the value of this parameter is tsm.

:appl – The application software that is assigned to the card. For this procedure, the value of this parameter is gls.

:force – Allow the LIM to be added to the database even if there are not enough service modules to support the number of LIMs in the EAGLE. This parameter is obsolete and is no longer used.

The shelf to which the card is to be added, must already be in the database. This can be verified with the rtrv-shlf command. If the shelf is not in the database, see the Adding a Shelf procedure in Database Administration – System Management User's Guide.

The card cannot be added to the database if the specified card location already has a card assigned to it.

Before the card can be configured in the database for the gateway screening feature, the gateway screening feature must be turned on with the chg-feat command. The rtrv-feat command can verify that the gateway screening feature is on.

Note:

After the Gateway Screening feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, the feature cannot be turned off.

The EAGLE can contain a maximum of eight GLS cards. The examples in this procedure are used to add a GLS card in card slot 1212 to the database.

Adding a GLS Card

  1. Display the cards in the EAGLE using the rtrv-card command.

    This is an example of the possible output. Cards should be distributed throughout the EAGLE for proper power distribution. Refer to Installation Guide for the shelf power distribution. This is an example of the possible output.

    1317   DCM       STPLAN

    If the APPL field of the rtrv-card command output shows no cards assigned to the GLS application continue the procedure with 2.

  2. Verify that the gateway screening feature is on, by entering the rtrv-feat command.

    If the gateway screening feature is on, the GWS field should be set to on. For this example, the gateway screening feature is off.

    Note:

    Thertrv-feat command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by thertrv-feat command, see thertrv-feat command description inCommands User's Guide.

    If the Gateway Screening feature is on, continue the procedure with 4

    If the Gateway Screening feature is not on, continue the procedure with 3.

  3. If the gateway screening feature is not on, shown by the GWS = off entry in the rtrv-feat command output in 2 , turn the gateway screening feature on by entering this command.

    chg-feat:gws=on

    Note:

    After the Gateway Screening feature is turned on with thechg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

    When the chg-feat has successfully completed, this message should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:27:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    CHG-FEAT: MASP A - COMPLTD

    Continue the procedure with 4.

  4. Display the GLS cards that are in the database by entering this command.

    rept-stat-card:appl=gls

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 08-11-01 16:07:48 GMT  EAGLE5 46.6.0.0.0
    CARD   VERSION      TYPE      GPL        PST            SST        AST     
    1102   131-010-000  SLIC      GLS        IS-NR          Active     -----
    1211   131-010-000  SLIC      GLSHC      IS-NR          Active     -----
    
    Command Completed.

    SLICs are shown by the entry GLSHC in the GPL column of the rept-stat-gpl output. SLICs are shown by the entry GLS in the GPL column of the rept-stat-gpl output. Continue the procedure by performing one of these actions.

  5. Verify that the GLS card has been physically installed into the proper location.

    If the GLS card is in the required card location, continue the procedure with 6.

    If the GLS card is not in the required card location, continue with 6.

    Caution:

    If the versions of the flash GPLs on the SLIC do not match the flash GPL versions in the database when the SLIC is inserted into the card slot, UAM 0002 is generated indicating that these GPL versions do not match. If UAM 0002 has been generated, perform the alarm clearing procedure for UAM 0002 in Unsolicited Alarm and Information Messages Reference before proceeding with this procedure.
  6. Add the GLS card to the database using the ent-card command.

    For this example, enter this command.

    ent-card:loc=1212:type=slic:appl=gls

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

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:28:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    ENT-CARD: MASP A - COMPLTD
  7. Verify the changes using the rtrv-card command with the card location specified.

    For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-card:loc=1212

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:29:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    CARD   TYPE      APPL      LSET NAME     LINK SLC  LSET NAME     LINK SLC
    1212   SLIC      GLS
  8. Put the card in service using the rst-card command with the card location specified in 6 . For this example, enter this command.

    rst-card:loc=1212

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

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 08:21:07 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    Card has been allowed.
  9. Backup 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.
