Adding an IPSG M3UA Linkset

This procedure is used to configure IPSG M3UA linksets in the EAGLE using the ent-ls command with these parameters.

:lsn – The name of the linkset. The linkset name can contain up to 10 characters, with the first character being a letter. However, the SEAS interface supports only eight characters. If this linkset is displayed on the SEAS interface and the linkset name contains more than eight characters, only the first eight characters in the linkset name are shown. If this linkset name contains more than eight characters, and is specified with the linkset commands on the SEAS interface, only the first eight characters can be specified.

:apc/apca/apci/apcn/apcn24 – Adjacent point code – the point code identifying the node that is next to the EAGLE. The adjacent point code can be one of the following types of point codes:

:apc/apcaANSI point code, ANSI private point code

:apciITU-I point code, ITU-I spare point code, ITU-I private point code, ITU-I private spare point code.

:apcn – 14-bit ITU-N point code, 14-bit ITU-N spare point code, 14-bit ITU-N private point code, 14-bit ITU-N private spare point code.

:apcn24 – 24-bit ITU-N point code, 24-bit ITU-N private point code.

Note:

See the “Point Code Formats” section in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide for a definition of the point code types that are used on the EAGLE and for a definition of the different formats that can be used for ITU national point codes.

:lst – The linkset type of the linkset. For an IPSG M3UA linkset, only one value can be specified, A.

:ipsg – This parameter specifies whether or not the linkset is an IPSG linkset. This parameter has two values, yes (if the linkset is an IPSG linkset) or no (if the linkset is not an IPSG linkset). For this procedure, the ipsg parameter value must be yes.

:maxslktps – The maximum number of transactions per second (TPS) for all signaling links that are assigned to the IPSG M3UA linkset. See Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values.

:rsvdslktps – The number of transactions per second (TPS) that is assigned to each IPSG signaling link that will be in the linkset. See Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values. The slktps parameter can be used in place of the rsvdslktps parameter.

:tpsalmtype – The TPS threshold that will generate alarms. This parameter has two values.
  • rsvdslktps - The RSVDSLKTPS threshold generates alarms.
  • maxslktps - The MAXSLKTPS threshold generates alarms.

:lsusealm – The linkset’s TPS alarm threshold, from 10 to 100 percent of the linkset’s TPS. When this threshold is reached, a major alarm (UAM 0115) is generated. When the linkset’s TPS falls below this threshold, UAM 0115 is automatically cleared and UAM 0118 is generated.

:slkusealm – The signaling link TPS alarm threshold, from 10 to 100 percent of the signaling link’s fair share of the linkset’s TPS from 10 to 100 percent of the IPSG card’s capacity (5000 TPS). This threshold is reached when the signaling link’s actual usage exceeds the percentage of the signaling link’s fair share of the linkset’s TPS or the percentage of the IPSG card’s capacity.

A signaling link's fair share of linkset’s TPS is the linkset’s TPS divided by the number of in-service links in the linkset. For example, if the linkset TPS is 4000 and there are 4 signaling links in the linkset, all in-service, then the signaling link's fair-share would be 1000 TPS (4000/4=1000). Table 6-2 shows this calculation for a linkset with 1, 2, 3 and 4 in-service signaling links.

Table 6-2 Signaling Link Fair Share Example

When this threshold is exceeded, a minor alarm (UAM 0116) is generated. When the amount of traffic on the signaling link falls below this threshold, UAM 0116 is automatically cleared and UAM 0119 is generated.

The signaling link TPS alarm shows that the linkset TPS is set too low for the linkset or that the IPSG card's capacity has been exceeded. Setting the signaling link TPS alarm threshold lower than the linkset TPS alarm threshold can give the user an earlier indication that the linkset TPS is inadequate or that traffic is not balanced across the links in the linkset.

:adapter - This parameter specifies the adapter layer for the signaling links that will be assigned to the IPSG M3UA linkset. This parameter has two values, m2pa and m3ua. For an IPSG M3UA linkset, the adapter parameter value must be m3ua.

:rcontext - This parameter specifies the routing context value that is assigned to the IPSG M3UA linkset. The value for this parameter is from 0 to 4294967295. The default value for this parameter is none, no value is specified.

:asnotif - This parameter specifies whether or not AS notifications will be sent for the IPSG M3UA linkset. This parameter has two values, yes, AS notifications will be sent for the linkset, and no, AS notifications will not be sent for the linkset. The default value for this parameter is yes.

The adjacent point code (APC) for the linkset must be defined in the database, must be in the SS7 domain, and cannot match the point code or capability point code of the EAGLE. The domain of the point code is shown in the DMN field in the output of the rtrv-dstn command. The point code of the EAGLE is shown in the PCA, PCN, PCN24, or PCI fields and the capability point code of the EAGLE are shown in the CPCA, CPCN, CPCN24, or CPCI fields in the output of the rtrv-sid command. An ANSI adjacent point code must be a full point code and cannot be a cluster point code or a network routing point code. The adjacent point code of the linkset cannot be a proxy point code, cannot have a proxy point code assigned to it, and cannot be assigned to another linkset.

If the APC is not in the destination point code table, go to the “Adding a Destination Point Code” procedure in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide and add the APC to the destination point code table.

Adding the IPSG M3UA linkset cannot exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS shown in the rtrv-tps output. An IPSG M3UA linkset uses from 100 to 5000 TPS, as provisioned by the maxslktps parameter.

If adding the IPSG M3UA linkset 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 the 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 M3UA linkset will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the IPSG M3UA linkset cannot be added unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the IPSG M3UA linkset 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.

Other Optional Parameters

There are other optional parameters that can be used to configure an IPSG M3UA linkset. These parameters are not required for configuring an IPSG M3UA linkset. These parameters are discussed in more detail in Commands User's Guide or in these sections.

Note:

The mtprse, spc/spca/spci/spcn/spcn24, and ppc/ppca/ppci/ppcn/ppcn24 parameters cannot be specified for an IPSG M3UA linkset.

Canceling the RTRV-LS and RTRV-DSTN Commands

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

  • Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-ls or rtrv-dstn commands were entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-ls or rtrv-dstn commands were entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-ls or rtrv-dstn commands were entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rtrv-ls or rtrv-dstn commands were 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 current linksets in the database using the rtrv-ls command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    If the adjacent point code is not shown in the rtrv-dstn output, perform the "Adding a Destination Point Code" procedure in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide to add the required point code. This point code cannot be a proxy point code (the prx=yes value assigned to the point code) and a proxy point code (a point code value is shown in the PPC column) cannot be assigned to the point code.After the adjacent point code has been added, continue the procedure with 7.

    If the adjacent point code is shown in the rtrv-dstn output, continue the procedure with 4.

  4. Display the adjacent point code of the new linkset in the destination point code table by using the rtrv-dstn command and specifying the point code. For this example, enter this command.

    This point code cannot be a proxy point code (the prx=yes value assigned to the point code) and a proxy point code (a point code value is shown in the PPC column) cannot be assigned to the point code. If a proxy point code is shown in this step, or if the point code is a proxy point code, choose another point code and repeat this procedure from 2.

    If a proxy point code is not shown in this step, or if the point code is not a proxy point code, continue this procedure with 5.

  5. The APC of the linkset cannot be the DPC of any exception route. Verify that the adjacent point code of the linkset is not the DPC of any exception route by entering the rtrv-rtx command with the dpc/dpca/dpci/dpcn/dpcn24 parameter. The dpc/dpca/dpci/dpcn/dpcn24 parameter value is the adjacent point code value that will be specified for the linkset.

    For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-rtx:dpca=010-020-005

    This is an example of the possible output.

    If the point code specified in this step is shown in the DPCA/DPCI/DPCN/ DPCN24 columns in this step, the point code value cannot be used as an adjacent point code unless one of two actions are taken:

    • Choose another adjacent point code value and repeat the procedure from 2.
    • Remove all the entries displayed in this step by performing the “Removing a Route Exception Entry” procedure in the Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide. After the entries have been removed, continue the procedure with 6.

    If the point code specified in this step is not shown in the DPCA/DPCI/DPCN/ DPCN24 columns in this step, continue this procedure with 6.

  6. Display any entries in the route table whose DPC value is also the adjacent point code of the new linkset being added in this procedure, or the new adjacent point code of the existing linkset being changed in this procedure. Enter the rtrv-rte command with the dpc/dpca/dpci/dpcn/dpcn24 parameter. The dpc/dpca/dpci/dpcn/dpcn24 parameter value is the adjacent point code value that will be specified for the linkset. For this example, enter this command.

    An IPSG M3UA linkset uses 100 to MaxTPS (see Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values), as provisioned by the maxslktps parameter. If adding the new IPSG M3UA linkset will not exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, continue the procedure with 12.

    If adding the new IPSG M3UA linkset 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 12.

    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 M3UA linkset will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the IPSG M3UA linkset cannot be added unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the IPSG M3UA linkset to be added. The available TPS can be increased by performing one or more of these actions.
    • The IP TPS values of some IPGWx linksets have to be changed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 10.
    • The MAXSLKTPS values of some IPSG linksets (and the RSVDSLKTPS values if necessary) have to be changed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 10.
    • 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.
  8. Display the ATM high-speed signaling links by entering this command.

    If ATM high-speed signaling links are shown in the rtrv-slk output, perform the "Removing an SS7 Signaling Link" procedure in the Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide to remove some of the ATM high-speed signaling links.

    If ATM high-speed signaling links are not displayed in the rtrv-slk output, 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 M3UA linkset to be added, the IPSG M3UA linkset cannot be added and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed.
    • The IP TPS values of some IPGWx linksets have to be changed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 10.
    • The MAXSLKTPS values of some IPSG linksets (and the RSVDSLKTPS values if necessary) have to be changed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 10.
    • An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 9.

    If you do not wish to perform other actions to increase the available TPS and the available TPS will allow the IPSG M3UA linkset to be added, continue the procedure with 12.

    Perform one or both of these actions as necessary.
    • Perform the Configuring an IPGWx Linkset procedure to change the IPTPS value for any linksets shown in the rtrv-ls output whose IPGWAPC value is yes.
    • Perform the Changing an IPSG M2PA Linkset procedure (for linkset whose IPSG value is yes and ADAPTER value is M2PA) or the Changing an IPSG M3UA Linkset procedure (for linkset whose IPSG value is yes and ADAPTER value is M3UA) to change the MAXSLKTPS value (and RSVDSLKTPS value if necessary) for any linksets shown in the rtrv-ls output.
    Perform one or both of these actions to increase the available TPS if needed.
    • An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 9.
    • Some ATM high-speed signaling links have to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 8.

    If you do not wish to perform other actions to increase the available TPS and the available TPS will allow the IPSG M3UA linkset to be added, continue the procedure with 12.

  12. Add the new linkset to the database using the ent-ls command. The new linkset must meet these conditions.

    The name of this linkset cannot be used by another linkset – the linkset configuration is shown in the output of 1.

    The APC of the new linkset must be in the destination point code table, but cannot be either the EAGLE’s point code or the EAGLE’s capability point code – shown in the outputs of 2, 3, and 4. The adjacent point code can be one of the following types of point codes:

    :apc/apcaANSI point code, ANSI private point code

    :apciITU-I point code, ITU-I spare point code, ITU-I private point code, ITU-I private spare point code.

    :apcn – 14-bit ITU-N point code, 14-bit ITU-N spare point code, 14-bit ITU-N private point code, 14-bit ITU-N private spare point code.

    :apcn24 – 24-bit ITU-N point code, 24-bit ITU-N private point code.

    These parameters and values must also be specified for the IPSG M3UA linkset:

    • The ipgwapc, iptps, mtprse, multgc, spc/spca/spci/spcn/spcn24, ppc/ppca/ppci/ppcn/ppcn24, and sapci/sapcn/sapcn24 parameters cannot be specified for an IPSG M3UA linkset.
    • These optional parameters can be specified with the ent-ls command.
      • lsusealm - the linkset’s IP TPS alarm threshold. The default value for the lsusealm parameter is 100.
      • slkusealm - the signaling link IP TPS alarm threshold. The default value for the slkusealm parameter is 80.
      • rcontext - the routing context value. The default value for the rcontext parameter is none.
      • asnotif - Are AS notifications for the linkset sent. The default value for the asnotif parameter is yes.
      • tpsalmtype - The TPS threshold that will generate alarms, either rsvdslktps or maxslktps. The default value for the tpsalmtype parameter is rsvdslktps.

    Note:

    There are other optional parameters that can be specified with theent-ls command, but are not required for an IPSG M3UA linkset. These parameters and their usage are discussed in theOther Optional Parameters section of this procedure.

    For this example, enter this command.

    ent-ls:lsn=lsgw1107:apca=010-020-005:lst=a:ipsg=yes:rsvdslktps=300:maxslktps=1000 :lsusealm=70:slkusealm=70:adapter=m3ua:rcontext=250

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

  13. Verify the changes using the rtrv-ls command specifying the linkset name specified in 12 with the lsn parameter. For this example, enter these commands.

    rtrv-ls:lsn=lsgw1107

    This is an example of the possible output.

  14. Back up 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.
