Adding an IPSG Card

This procedure is used to add an IPSG card to the database using the ent-card command. An IPSG card is an E5-ENET-B or SLIC card that is running the IPSG application.

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 enet for an E5-ENET card and enetb for E5-ENET-B. When provisioning the SLIC, the card type is slic.

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

:force – If the global title translation feature is on, the force=yes parameter allows the IPSG card to be added to the database even if the current SCCP transactions-per-second threshold is unable to support the additional SCCP transaction-per-second capacity created by adding the IP card. This parameter is obsolete and is no longer used.

Card Slot Selection

The E5-ENET card can be inserted into any card slot, except for card slots that must remain empty to accommodate dual-slot cards, slots 09 and 10 in each shelf, and slots 1113 through 1118.

To provision a E5-ENET card, the shelf containing the E5-ENET card must have HIPR2 cards installed in slots 9 and 10 in that shelf. If HIPR2 cards are not installed in the shelf that the E5-ENET card will occupy, the E5-ENET card will be auto-inhibited when the E5-ENET card is inserted into the shelf. Enter the rept-stat-gpl:gpl=hipr2 command to verify whether or not HIPR2 cards are installed in the same shelf as the E5-ENET card being provisioned in this procedure.

  1. Display the total provisioned system TPS by entering the rtrv-tps command.

    This is an example of the possible output. 

    
rlghncxa03w 10-07-30 16:20:46 GMT EAGLE 42.0.0 

Total provisioned IPGW   TPS =  30000 
Total provisioned IPSG   TPS = 400000
Total provisioned IPLIM  TPS =  20000
Total provisioned ATM    TPS =   3668 

Total provisioned System TPS (453668 of 500000) 91% 

Command Completed.

    See Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values. If adding the new IPSG card will not exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, continue the procedure with 2.

    If adding the new IPSG card will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, and the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000, perform the "Activating the HIPR2 High Rate Mode" feature in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide to enable and turn on the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature. When the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature is enabled and turned on, the maximum total provisioned system TPS is increased to 1,000,000 (1M). After the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature has been enabled and turned on, continue the procedure with 2.

    If adding the new IPSG card will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, and the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 1M, This procedure cannot be performed. The maximum total provisioned system TPS the EAGLE can have is 1M,

  2. Display the cards in the database 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.

    Continue the procedure by performing one of these actions.
    • If the required unprovisioned card slots (see the Card Slot Selection section) are shown in the rtrv-card output, continue the procedure with 5.
    • If the required unprovisioned card slots are not shown in the rtrv-card output, 3 must be performed.
  3. Display the shelves in the database by entering the rtrv-shlf command. This is an example of the possible output.

    If all the shelves are provisioned in the database, then the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed. There are no available card slots for the new IPSG card.

    If all the shelves have not been provisioned in the database, continue the procedure with 4.

  4. Add the required shelf using the ent-shlf command with the location of the shelf and the type=ext parameter. The shelf location values are 1200, 1300, 2100, 2200, 2300, 3100, 3200, 3300, 4100, 4200, 4300, 5100, 5200, 5300, and 6100. For this example, enter this command.

    ent-shlf:loc=3100:type=ext

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

  5. Verify that the card to be entered has been physically installed into the proper location (see the Card Slot Selection section). If the card has not been installed, insert the card into the desired card location following the rules described in the Card Slot Selection section.

    Caution:

    If the versions of the flash GPLs on the IPSG card do not match the flash GPL versions in the database when the IPSG card 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. Verify that HIPR2 cards are installed in card locations 9 and 10 in the shelf containing the E5-ENET card being added in this procedure. Enter this command.

    rept-stat-gpl:gpl=hipr2

    This is an example of the possible output.

    If HIPR2 cards are installed in the shelf containing the E5-ENET card, continue the procedure with 11.

    If HIPR or HIPR2 cards are not installed on the shelf containing the E5-ENET card, go to Installation Guide and install the HIPR or HIPR2 cards. Once the HIPR or HIPR2 cards have been installed, continue the procedure with 11.

  7. Enter the rtrv-stpopts command to verify whether or not the MFC option is on.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    The rtrv-stpopts command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. To see all fields displayed by the rtrv-stpopts command, see the rtrv-stpopts command description in Commands User's Guide.

    If the MFC option is off, perform the Configuring the MFC Option procedure in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide to turn on the MFC option.

    If the MFC option is on or the Configuring the MFC Option procedure in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide was performed in this step, continue the procedure with 8.

    Note:

    The Fan feature must be purchased before you turn this feature on with the chg-feat command. If you are not sure if you have purchased the Fan feature, contact your Sales Representative or Account Representative.
  8. Enter the rtrv-feat command to verify that the Fan feature is on.

    If the Fan feature is on, shown in the rtrv-feat output, the FAN field should be set to on.

    The rtrv-feat command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. To see all fields displayed by the rtrv-feat command, see the rtrv-feat command description in Commands User's Guide.

    If the Fan feature is on, continue the procedure with 10.

    If the Fan feature is off, continue the procedure with 8.

  9. Turn the Fan feature on by entering this command.

    chg-feat:fan=on

    Note:

    Once the Fan feature is turned on with thechg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

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

  10. The shelf containing the E5-ENET-B card that is being added in this procedure must have fans installed. Verify whether or not fans are installed on the shelf.

    If the fans are installed, continue the procedure with 11.

    If the fans are not installed on the shelf containing the E5-ENET-B card, go to Installation Guide and install the fans. After the fans have been installed and tested, continue the procedure with 11.

  11. Add the card using the ent-card command. For this example, enter these commands.

    ent-card:loc=1311:type=enetb:appl=ipsg
