Adding Unchannelized E1 Ports

The E1 interface parameters are provisioned in the database using the ent-e1 command using these parameters.

:loc – The location of the E1 card (card type lime1) that is servicing the E1 signaling link. The E1 card must be an HC-MIM or an E5-E1T1 card. The location of a channel card (card type limch) cannot be specified for this parameter.

:e1port – The E1 port on the E1 card used to service the E1 signaling link. The e1port value cannot already be assigned to the E1 card specified by the loc parameter.

:crc4 – Specifies whether or not CRC4 is enabled on the E1 signaling link. The default value is on (crc4=on).

:cas – Specifies whether CAS or CCS is used on the E1 signaling link. CAS is enabled with the cas=on parameter. CCS is enabled with the cas=off parameter. The default value is CCS enabled (cas=off). The cas=on parameter cannot be specified for an HC-MIM or an E5-E1T1 card.

:encode – Specifies the type of encoding or decoding that is used on the E1 signaling link, either HDB3 or AMI. The default value is HDB3 encoding (encode=hdb3).

:e1tsel – The timing source for the E1 signaling link, master (external) or slave (line). The default value is slave timing (e1tsel=line).

Note:

To use an external high-speed master clock source other than RS-422, TDMs 870-0774-15 or later must be installed in card locations 1114 and 1116, and the TDM Global Timing Interface options must be configured. For more information, see Configuring the Options for the TDM Global Timing Interface.

:si – Specifies the value of the two spare international bits of NFAS data, from 0 to 3. The default value is 0 (si=0).

:sn – Specifies the value of the five spare national bits of NFAS data, from 0 to 31. The default value is 0 (sn=0).

:linkclass – Indicates whether the E1 port supports channelized (linkclass=chan) or un-channelized (linkclass=unchan) E1 signaling links.

:minsurate – Specifies the minimum number of signaling units (FISUs and LSSUs) per second that are transmitted on the outbound E1 signaling link during idle periods or when there is an unused portion of the link’s bandwidth. The value of this parameter is from 500 to 2000 signaling units per second, with the default value of 1000 signaling units per second. The minsurate parameter can be specified only when an unchannelized E1 port (linkclass=unchan parameter) is being configured.

The ent-e1 command contains the e1tsel=recovered, chanbrdg, and force=yes parameters. These parameters are not used in this procedure. These parameters and their usage are described in Adding Channel Bridged E1 Ports.

The E1 card specified in this procedure must be in the database. This can be verified with the rtrv-card command.

1. Display the cards in the EAGLE 5 ISS using the rtrv-card command.

   Table A-11 shows the maximum number of unchannelized E1 ports that the EAGLE can contain. If the rtrv-e1 output contains the maximum number of unchannelized E1 ports, no other unchannelized E1 ports can be added and this procedure cannot be performed.

   If no E1 ports are assigned to the E1 card you wish to use in this procedure, verify that the E1 card is an HC-MIM or an E5-E1T1 card. The part number of the HC-MIM is 870-2671-XX. The part number of the E5-E1T1 card is 870-1873-XX If the E1 card is not an HC-MIM or an E5-E1T1 card, either select another E1 card from the rtrv-e1 output, or add a new HC-MIM by performing Adding a LIM-E1 Card.

   If the E1 card is an HC-MIM or an E5-E1T1 card, and contains no unchannelized E1 ports, continue the procedure with 3.

   If E1 ports are assigned to the E1 card you wish to use in this procedure, and the E1 ports on the E1 card are channelized, unchannelized E1 ports cannot be assigned to this E1 card. Unchannelized E1 ports cannot be assigned to an E1 card that contains channelized E1 ports. If the E1 ports on the E1 card are channelized, either select another E1 card from the rtrv-e1 output, or add a new HC-MIM or an E5-E1T1 card by performing Adding a LIM-E1 Card. If all the E1 ports shown in the rtrv-e1 output are channelized, add a new HC-MIM or an E5-E1T1 card by performing Adding a LIM-E1 Card.

   An HC-MIM can contain a maximum of two unchannelized E1 ports. An E5-E1T1 card can contain only one unchannelized E1 port. If the E1 card you wish to use contains two unchannelized E1 ports, the E1 card is an HC-MIM. No additional unchannelized E1 port cannot be added to this E1 card. If the E1 card you wish to use contains one unchannelized E1 port, verify that the E1 card is an HC-MIM or an E5-E1T1 card. The part number of the HC-MIM is 870-2671-XX. The part number of the E5-E1T1 card is 870-1873-XX. If the E1 card is an HC-MIM with only one unchannelized E1 port assigned, the unchannelized E1 port can be added to this card. Continue the procedure with 3. If the E1 card is an E5-E1T1 card, the unchannelized E1 port cannot be added to this E1 card.

   If the unchannelized E1 port cannot be added to this card, repeat 1 and 2 to select another E1 card to add the unchannelized E1 port to, or add a new HC-MIM or E5-E1T1 by performing Adding a LIM-E1 Card.

3. Display the status of the SE-HSL SLK Capacity feature by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

   The following features have expired temporary keys:
   
   Feature Name              Partnum
   Zero entries found.
   

   Continue the procedure by performing one of these substeps.

   1. If an SE-HSLSLK quantity is not enabled, continue the procedure with 4.

      Note:

      If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in this step shows any controlled features, continue the procedure with 8. If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIM SLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, 4 through 7 must be performed.
   2. If an SE-HSL SLK quantity is enabled, the entry SE-HSL SLK Capacity is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output with one of the quantities shown in Table A-11. This quantity is the number of unchannelized E1 signaling links, and the number of unchannelized E1 ports, the EAGLE can contain. If the addition of the unchannelized E1 port in this procedure will not exceed the enabled SE-HSL SLK quantity, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
      • If E1 cards are shown in the rtrv-e1 output in 2 and these cards are on the same shelf as the card that will contain the E1 port that is being added, and these cards have E1 ports 3 through 8 provisioned, contain channel bridged E1 ports, or unchannelized E1 ports, continue the procedure with 14.
      • If E1 cards are shown in the rtrv-e1 output in 2 and these cards are not on the same shelf as the card that will contain the E1 port that is being added, continue the procedure with 10.
      • If E1 cards are shown in the rtrv-e1 output in 2 and these cards are on the same shelf as the card that will contain the E1 port that is being added, and these cards do not have E1 ports 3 through 8 provisioned, do not contain channel bridged E1 ports, or do not have unchannelized E1 ports, continue the procedure with 10.
   3. If an SE-HSL SLK quantity is enabled, and the addition of the unchannelized E1 port in this procedure will exceed the enabled SE-HSL SLK quantity, increase the enabled SE-HSL SLK quantity by performing 8.
4. Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
   System serial number = nt00001231
   
   System serial number is not locked, yet.
   
   

   Note:

   If the serial number is correct and locked, continue the procedure with 8. If the serial number is correct but not locked, continue the procedure with 7. If the serial number is not correct, but is locked, the SE-HSL SLK quantity cannot be enabled and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed. Contact the Customer Care Center to get an incorrect and locked serial number changed. Refer to My Oracle Support (MOS) for the contact information. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).
5. Enter the correct serial number into the database using the ent-serial-num command with the serial parameter.

   For this example, enter this command.

   ent-serial-num:serial=<EAGLE’s correct serial number>

6. Verify that the serial number entered in 5 was entered correctly using the rtrv-serial-num command.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
   System serial number = nt00001231
   
   System serial number is not locked, yet.
   
   

   If the serial number was not entered correctly, repeat 4 and 5 and re-enter the correct serial number.

7. Lock the serial number in the database by entering the ent-serial-num command with the serial number shown in 4 , if the serial number shown in 4 is correct, or with the serial number shown in 6 , if the serial number was changed in 5 , and with the lock=yes parameter.

   For this example, enter this command.

   ent-serial-num:serial=<EAGLE’s serial number>:lock=yes

8. Enable the SE-HSL SLK quantity by entering the enable-ctrl-feat command specifying the part number for the desired SE-HSL SLK quantity and the feature access key.

   The SE-HSL SLK quantity part numbers are shown in Table A-11.
