Adding Unchannelized T1 Ports

An unchannelized T1 port is provisioned in the database using the ent-t1 command with these parameters.

:loc – The location of the T1 card (card type limt1) that is servicing the T1 signaling link. The T1 card must be an E5-E1T1 card. The location of a channel card (card type limch) cannot be specified for this parameter.

:t1port – The T1 port on the T1 card used to service the T1 signaling link. The t1port value cannot already be assigned to the T1 card specified by the loc parameter.

:encode – Specifies the type of encoding or decoding that is used on the T1 signaling link, either B8ZS or AMI. The default value is B8ZS encoding (encode=b8zs).

:t1tsel – The timing source for the T1 signaling link, master (external) or slave (line). The default value is slave timing (t1tsel=line).

The recovered timing source can be used only with the chanbrdg=on parameter and cannot be used in this procedure.

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, refer to Configuring the Options for the TDM Global Timing Interface.

:framing – Specifies the framing format to be used on the TI signaling link, either sf, esf, or esfperf. The esfperf value enables T1 performance monitoring for low level reports embedded in the transmit data stream of a T1 interface configured for ESF framing. The default value is sf (framing=sf).

:ll – The length of the cable, in feet, used for the T1 signaling link. The value of the ll parameter is from 0 to 655. The default value for this parameter is 133.

:linkclass=unchan – Indicates that the T1 port supports un-channelized T1 signaling links.

:minsurate – Specifies the minimum number of signaling units (FISUs and LSSUs) per second that are transmitted on the outbound T1 signaling link during idle periods or when there is an unused portion of the link’s bandwidth. The value of this parameter is from 400 to 1600 signaling units per second, with the default value of 1000 signaling units per second. The minsurate parameter can be specified only when an unchannelized T1 port (linkclass=unchan parameter) is being configured.

The ent-t1 command contains the t1tsel=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 T1 Ports.

The T1 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 using the rtrv-card command.

    The EAGLE can contain a maximum of 180 unchannelized T1 ports. If the rtrv-t1 output shows that there are 180 unchannelized T1 ports, no other unchannelized T1 ports can be added and this procedure cannot be performed.

    If no T1 ports are assigned to the T1 card you wish to use in this procedure, verify that the T1 card is an E5-E1T1 card. The part number of the E5-E1T1 card is 870-1873-XX. An E5-E1T1 card can contain only one unchannelized T1 port. No other types of T1 ports can be assigned to a T1 card that contains an unchannelized T1 port. If the T1 card is not an E5-E1T1 card, either select another T1 card from the rtrv-t1 output, or add a new E5-E1T1 by performing Adding a LIM-T1 Card. If the T1 card is an E5-E1T1 card, and contains no T1 ports, continue the procedure with 3.

    If the unchannelized T1 port cannot be added to this card, repeat 1 and 2 to select another T1 card to add the unchannelized T1 port to, or add a new E5-E1T1 by performing Adding a LIM-T1 Card.

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

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    The following features have been permanently enabled:

    The following features have been temporarily enabled:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum    Status  Quantity     Trial Period Left
    Zero entries found.
    
    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 ST-HSL-A SLK quantity is not enabled, continue the procedure with 4.

      Note:

      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. If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in this step shows any other controlled features, continue the procedure with 8.
    2. If an ST-HSL-A SLK quantity is enabled, the entry ST-HSL-A SLK Capacity is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output with a quantity of 4 to 180 in increments of 8. The quantities that can be provisioned and their part numbers are shown in Table B-11. This quantity is the number of unchannelized T1 signaling links, and the number of unchannelized T1 ports, the EAGLE 5 ISS can contain. If the addition of the unchannelized T1 port in this procedure will not exceed the enabled ST-HSL-A SLK quantity, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
      • If T1 cards are shown in the rtrv-t1 output in 2 and these cards are on the same shelf as the card that will contain the T1 port that is being added, and these cards have T1 ports 3 through 8 provisioned, contain channel bridged T1 ports, or unchannelized T1 ports, continue the procedure with 11.
      • If T1 cards are shown in the rtrv-t1 output in 2 and these cards are not on the same shelf as the card that will contain the T1 port that is being added, continue the procedure with 10.
      • If T1 cards are shown in the rtrv-t1 output in 2 and these cards are on the same shelf as the card that will contain the T1 port that is being added, and these cards do not have T1 ports 3 through 8 provisioned, do not contain channel bridged T1 ports, or do not have unchannelized T1 ports, continue the procedure with 10.
    3. If an ST-HSL-A SLK quantity is enabled, and the addition of the unchannelized T1 port in this procedure will exceed the enabled ST-HSL-A SLK quantity, increase the enabled ST-HSL-A SLK quantity by performing 8.
  4. Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command.
    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    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 ST-HSL-A 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.
    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    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 an ST-HSL-A SLK quantity by entering the enable-ctrl-feat command specifying the part number for the desired ST-HSL-A SLK quantity and the feature access key.

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