Adding a LIM-E1 Card

The LIM-El card is provisioned as either an E1 card or a channel card in the database using the ent-card command. The card being provisioned in the database can be one of these cards shown in Table A-4.

Table A-4 E1 Card Part Numbers

Card Type	Part Number
E1/T1MIM	870-2198-XX
E5-E1T1	870-1873-XX

The ent-card command uses these parameters.

:loc – The location of the card being added to the database.

Note:

The HC-MIM can be inserted only in a odd-numbered card location. The HC-MIM will not power up if it is inserted in an even-numbered card location. All the E1 backplane cabling should be removed from the B connector for the slot that the HC-MIM will occupy.

The HC-MIM occupies two card locations, so the even numbered card location adjacent to the odd numbered slot where the HC-MIM has been inserted must be empty, as shown in Table A-5. The HC-MIM is connected to the network through the odd numbered card slot connector.

Table A-5 HC-MIM Card Locations

Location of the HC-MIM	Empty Card Location	Location of the HC-MIM	Empty Card Location
Slot 01	Slot 02	Slot 11	Slot 12
Slot 03	Slot 04	Slot 13	Slot 14
Slot 05	Slot 06	Slot 15	Slot 16
Slot 07	Slot 08	Slot 17	Slot 18

The E1, E1/T1 MIM and E5-E1T1 cards occupy one card location. These cards can be placed in any card location except for even numbered card locations whose adjacent odd numbered card location is occupied by a card that occupies two card locations.

:type – The type of card being added to the database. For this procedure, the value of this parameter is lime1 (E1 card) or limch (channel card).

Note:

The HC-MIM and E5-E1T1 card cannot be provisioned as a channel card.

:appl – The application software that is assigned to the card. For this procedure, the value of this parameter is either ccs7itu or ss7ansi.

The shelf to which the card is to be added must already be in the database. This can be verified with the rtrv-shlf command. If the shelf is not in the database, see the Adding a Shelf procedure in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide.

The examples in this procedure are used to add the LIM-E1 cards in card locations 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, 1211, and 1212 to the database.

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

   1116   TDM-B
   1117   MDAL
   1316   DCM       STPLAN   
   

   The cards should be distributed throughout the EAGLE for proper power distribution. Refer to Installation Guide for the shelf power distribution.

2. Verify that the correct hardware has been installed on the EAGLE to support the E1 card as shown in Installation Guide.
3. Physically verify that the E1 card has been installed into the card location that will be specified in step 6.

   If the E1 card is an HC-MIM, make sure the HC-MIM is installed according to the card location requirements shown in Table A-5. If a card is installed and provisioned in the even numbered card location adjacent to the desired odd numbered card, either choose another card location to install and provision the HC-MIM, or remove the card in the even-numbered card location by performing the appropriate procedure shown in Table A-6 .

   Note:

   Channel cards must be installed in the same shelf as the E1 card that is servicing the timeslots on those channel cards.

   Note:

   If the E1 card being added in this procedure is not an HC-MIM or E5-E1T1 card, continue the procedure with 7.
4. If the card is an EPM-B based card (E5-E1T1-B), enter the rtrv-stpopts command to verify whether or not the MFC option is on. If the card is not an EPM-B based card, continue the procedure with 5

   This is an example of the possible output.

   STP OPTIONS         
   ---------------------------
   MFC                     off
   
   

   The rtrv-stpopts command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. To see all fields displayed by the rtrv-stpopts command, see the rtrv-stpopts command description in Commands User's Guide.

   If the MFC option is off, perform the Configuring the MFC Option procedure in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide to turn on the MFC option.

   If the MFC option is on or the MFC Option procedure in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide was performed in this step, continue the procedure with 5.

5. The Fan feature must be turned on. Enter the rtrv-feat command to verify that the Fan feature is on.

   If the Fan feature is on, shown in the rtrv-feat output in this step, the FAN field should be set to on.

   The rtrv-feat command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. To see all fields displayed by the rtrv-feat command, see the rtrv-feat command description in Commands User's Guide.

   If the Fan feature is on, continue the procedure with 7.

   If the Fan feature is off, continue the procedure with 6.

6. Turn the Fan feature on by entering this command.

   chg-feat:fan=on

   Note:

   Once the Fan feature is turned on with thechg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

   When the chg-feat has successfully completed, this message appears.

7. Add the card using the ent-card command. If the LIM-E1 card is an HC-MIM, the HC-MIM can be only in a odd-numbered card location, and cannot be provisioned as a channel card. The E5-E1T1 card cannot be provisioned as a channel card. The E1/T1MIM and E5-E1T1 cards occupy only one card location. These cards can be placed in any card location except for even numbered card locations whose adjacent odd numbered card location is occupied by a card that occupies two card locations.

   For this example, enter these commands.

   ent-card:loc=1201:type=lime1:appl=ccs7itu

   ent-card:loc=1202:type=limch:appl=ccs7itu

   ent-card:loc=1203:type=lime1:appl=ccs7itu

   ent-card:loc=1204:type=limch:appl=ccs7itu

   ent-card:loc=1211:type=lime1:appl=ccs7itu

   ent-card:loc=1212:type=limch:appl=ccs7itu

   When each of these commands have successfully completed, this message should appear.
