Removing a GLS Card

This procedure is used to remove GLS cards, used by gateway screening, from the database using the dlt-card command. The card cannot be removed if it does not exist in the database.

Caution:

If the GLS card is the last GLS card in service, removing this card from the database will disable the Gateway Screening feature.

The examples in this procedure are used to remove the GLS card in card location 1205.

Canceling the REPT-STAT-CARD Command

Because the rept-stat-card command used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rept-stat-card command can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rept-stat-card command can be canceled.

  • Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered. To enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx> command, the terminal must allow Security Administration commands to be entered from it and the user must be allowed to enter Security Administration commands. The terminal’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-secu-trm command. The user’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-user or rtrv-secu-user commands.

For more information about the canc-cmd command, go to Commands User's Guide.

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

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rept-stat-card:stat=nr

    This is an example of the possible output.

  3. An GLS card is identified by the entry GLS in the APPL fields in the outputs in steps 1 and 2.

    Remove the card from service using the rmv-card command and specifying the card location. If the GLS card to be inhibited is the only GLS card in service, shown in step 2, the force=yes parameter must also be specified. For this example, enter this command.

    rmv-card:loc=1205

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

Card has been inhibited.
  4. Remove the card from the database using the dlt-card command.

    The dlt-card command has only one parameter, loc, which is the location of the card. For this example, enter this command.

    dlt-card:loc=1205

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

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:28:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
DLT-CARD: MASP A - COMPLTD
  5. Verify the changes using the rtrv-card command specifying the card that was removed in step 4.

    For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-card:loc=1205

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

    E2144 Cmd Rej: Location invalid for hardware configuration
  6. 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.
