Changing an IPSG M2PA Linkset
This procedure is used to change an IPSG M2PA linkset, a linkset that contains the IPSG
value yes
and whose ADAPTER
value is m2pa
, in the EAGLE using the chg-ls
commands with these parameters.
:lsn
– The name of the linkset that will be changed, shown in the rtrv-ls
output.
: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 M2PA 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
- TheRSVDSLKTPS
threshold generates alarms.maxslktps
- TheMAXSLKTPS
threshold generates alarms.
:adapter
- This parameter specifies the adapter layer for the signaling links that will be assigned to the IPSG M2PA linkset. This parameter has two values, m2pa
and m3ua
. For an IPSG M2PA linkset, the adapter
parameter value must be m2pa
.
: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 or from 10 to 100 percent of the IPSG card’s capacity. See Maximum Card Capacity for Different Card Types for MaxTPS values. 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 6-10 shows this calculation for a linkset with 1, 2, 3 and 4 in-service signaling links.
Table 6-10 Signaling Link Fair Share Example
Number of In-Service Signaling Links | Linkset TPS | Signaling Link Fair Share of the Linkset TPS |
---|---|---|
4 |
4000 |
1000 |
3 |
4000 |
1333 |
2 |
4000 |
2000 |
1 |
4000 |
4000 |
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.
rtrv-tps
output. If changing the IPSG M2PA 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 Database Administration - System Management 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 changing the MAXSLKTPS or RSVDSLKTPS values for the IPSG M2PA linkset will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the MAXSLKTPS or RSVDSLKTPS values for the IPSG M2PA linkset cannot be changed unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the MAXSLKTPS or RSVDSLKTPS values for the IPSG M2PA linkset to be changed. 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.
This procedure can also be used to change an IPSG M3UA linkset or a non-IPSG linkset to an IPSG M2PA linkset.

Canceling the RTRV-LS
Command
Because the rtrv-ls
command used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-ls
command can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-ls
command can be canceled.
- Press the
F9
function key on the keyboard at the terminal where thertrv-ls
command was entered. - Enter the
canc-cmd
without thetrm
parameter at the terminal where thertrv-ls
command was entered. - Enter the
canc-cmd:trm=<xx>
, where<xx>
is the terminal where thertrv-ls
command was entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where thertrv-ls
command was entered. To enter thecanc-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 thertrv-secu-trm
command. The user’s permissions can be verified with thertrv-user
orrtrv-secu-user
commands.
For more information about the canc-cmd
command, go to Commands User's Guide.
