E5-OAM Integrated GLS Feature Activation Procedure

This procedure is used to activate the integrated generic loading services (GLS) feature.

Before this feature can be enabled, the Eagle must have an E5 maintenance and administration subsystem processor (MASP) and the GWS feature must be activated. The GWS feature is unaffected by this feature being enabled and turned on.

The integrated GLS feature can be turned off after the feature is turned on; however, it cannot be disabled once the feature is enabled.

The Integrated GLS feature cannot be enabled with a temporary Feature Access Key (FAK).

For details about the commands used in this procedure, refer to Commands User's Guide.

When the integrated GLS feature is turned on:
  • The E5-MASPs support GLS functionality. That means the E5-MASPs are able to accept the binding requests for GWS screen sets from network cards, bind the requested screen sets successfully, and load the screen sets to the requested network cards.
  • The GLS cards shall remain in IS-NR state but will not serve any new binding requests from network cards.
  • When Eagle is running in duplex mode, both active and standby E5-MASPs handle the binding request. The screenset binding load is dynamically distributed between Active and Standby E5 MASP. In simplex mode, active E5-MASP handles all binding requests from network cards.

When the integrated GLS feature is turned off (enabled or not), the E5-MASPs will not serve requests for binding screen sets. The GLS cards will handle new screenset binding requests.

When the integrated GLS feature activation procedure is completed, all GLS functionality automatically migrates from E5-TSM cards to E5-MASPs.
