Adding an IPSG M2PA Signaling Link

This procedure is used to add an IPSG M2PA signaling link to the database using the ent-slk command. An IPSG M2PA signaling link is a signaling link that is assigned to an IPSG card and that contains an IPSG linkset and IPSG association whose ADAPTER value is M2PA. The ent-slk command uses these parameters to add an IPSG M2PA signaling link.

:loc – The card location of the IPSG card that the IPSG M2PA signaling link will be assigned to. The cards specified by this parameter are E5-ENET cards running the IPSG application.

:link – The signaling link on the card specified in the loc parameter.

:lsn – The name of the linkset that will contain the signaling link.

:slc – The signaling link code. The SLC must be unique within the linkset. It must be the same at both the EAGLE location and the distant node.

:aname – The name of the IPSG M2PA association that will be assigned to the IPSG M2PA signaling link.

The ent-slk command contains other optional parameters that are not used to configure an IPGWx signaling link. These parameters are discussed in more detail in Commands User's Guide or in these sections.

These procedures in this manual:
- Adding an IPLIMx Signaling Link
- Adding an IPGWx Signaling Link
These procedures in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide
- Adding an SS7 Signaling Link
- Adding an E1 Signaling Link
- Adding a T1 Signaling Link
- Adding an ATM High-Speed Signaling Link

These items must be configured in the database before an IPSG M2PA signaling link can be added:

Shelf – perform the "Adding a Shelf" procedure in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide.
IPSG Card – perform the Adding an IPSG Card procedure.
Destination Point Code – perform the “Adding a Destination Point Code” procedure in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide.
IPSG M2PA Linkset – perform the Adding an IPSG M2PA Linkset procedure.
IPSG M2PA Association - perform the Adding an IPSG M2PA Association procedure.

Verify that the link has been physically installed (all cable connections have been made).

To configure the EAGLE to perform circular routing detection test on the signaling links, “Configuring Circular Route Detection” procedure in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide.

Note:

Circular route detection is not supported in ITU networks.

To provision a EAGLE with more than 1200 signaling links, the EAGLE must have certain levels of hardware installed. See the EAGLE section for more information on these hardware requirements.

The EAGLE can contain a mixture of low-speed, E1, T1, ATM high-speed, and IP signaling links. The Determining the Number of High-Speed and Low-Speed Signaling Links section describes how to determine the quantities of the different types of signaling links the EAGLE can have.

When the IPSG M2PA signaling link is added, the RSVDSLKTPS value that is assigned to the linkset will be assigned to the signaling link. The sum of the TPS used by all the signaling links that are assigned to the IPSG card cannot exceed MaxTPS. See Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values. The TPS used by the IPSG card and the TPS used by each signaling link that is assigned to the IPSG card is shown by entering the rtrv-slk command with the location of the IPSG card. If the MaxTPS limit for the IPSG card will be exceeded by adding the IPSG M2PA signaling link, one of these actions must be performed.

Another IPSG card must be used for the IPSG M2PA signaling link.
The RSVDSLKTPS values for the linksets shown in the rtrv-slk output for the IPSG card must be reduced enough to allow the IPSG M2PA linkset to be added.

If adding the IPSG M2PA signaling link 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). If the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 1M, or the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000 and will not be increased, and adding the IPSG M2PA signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the IPSG M2PA signaling link cannot be added unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the IPSG M2PA signaling link to be added. The available TPS can be reduced by performing one or more of these actions.

The IP TPS values of some IPGWx linksets have to be changed.
The MAXSLKTPS values of some IPSG linksets (and the RSVDSLKTPS values if necessary) have to be changed.
Some ATM high-speed signaling links have to be removed.
An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed.

Canceling the REPT-STAT-SLK, RTRV-LS, and RTRV-SLK Commands

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

Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, or rtrv-slk commands were entered.
Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, or rtrv-slk commands were entered.
Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, or rtrv-slk commands were entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rept-stat-slk, rtrv-ls, or rtrv-slk commands 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.

Display the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have and the number of signaling links that are currently provisioned by entering the rtrv-tbl-capacity command.
This is an example of the possible output.

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

If the addition of the new signaling link will not exceed the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have, continue the procedure with 2.

If the addition of the new signaling link will exceed the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have, and the maximum number of signaling links is less than 2800, perform the Enabling the Large System # Links Controlled Feature procedure to enable the desired quantity of signaling links. After the new quantity of signaling links has been enabled, continue the procedure with 2.

If the addition of the new signaling link will exceed the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have (in this example, the maximum number of signaling links is 1200), and the maximum number of signaling links is 2800, this procedure cannot be performed. The EAGLE cannot contain more than 2800 signaling links.

Display the current signaling link configuration using the rtrv-slk command.

An IPSG M2PA signaling link uses can use as much as the MaxTPS (see Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values, as provisioned by the rsvdslktps parameter of the linkset that the IPSG M2PA signaling link will be added to. If adding the new IPSG M2PA signaling link will not exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, continue the procedure with 11.

If adding the new IPSG M2PA signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, and the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000 shown, perform the "Activating the HIPR2 High Rate Mode Feature" procedure 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 1M. After the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature has been enabled and turned on, continue the procedure with 11.
If the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 1M, or the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000 and will not be increased, and adding the IPSG M2PA signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the IPSG M2PA signaling link cannot be added unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the IPSG M2PA signaling link to be added. The available TPS can be increased by performing one or more of these actions.
- Some ATM high-speed signaling links have to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 8.
- An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 9.
- The IP TPS values of some IPGWx linksets have to be changed or the MAXSLKTPS values of some IPSG linksets (and the RSVDSLKTPS values if necessary) have to be changed.
  If linksets are displayed in the rept-stat-iptps output in 5, continue the procedure with 10.
  If linksets are not displayed in the rept-stat-iptps output in 5, perform one or more of these actions to increase the available TPS.
  
  Note:
  If one or more of these actions are not performed to increase the available TPS and the available TPS will not allow the IPSG M2PA signaling link to be added, the IPSG M2PA signaling link cannot be added and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed.
