Configuring the Point Code and CIC Translation Linkset Option

This procedure is used to configure the PCT (point code and CIC translation) option for a linkset using the chg-lsopts command with the pct and lsn parameters.

The pct parameter has two values.

on – The PCT feature is applied to incoming MSUs or outgoing MSUs on a linkset.
off – The PCT feature is not applied to incoming MSUs or outgoing MSUs on a linkset.

The default value for the pct parameter is off.

The lsn parameter value is the name of the linkset that is being changed. The lsn value is shown in the LSN column of the rtrv-ls output.

The value of the pct parameter of the linkset can be changed only if a PCT quantity is enabled. The pct parameter value the linkset will effect the linkset's traffic only if the PCT value in the rtrv-stpopts output is lset. The PCT field of the rtrv-stpopts is shown only if a PCT quantity is enabled.

The value of the pct parameter of the linkset is shown when an individual linkset is displayed by entering the rtrv-ls:lsn=<linkset name> command. The pct parameter value is shown in the PCT column.

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 the rtrv-ls command was entered.
Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-ls command was entered.
Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-ls command was entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rtrv-ls command was 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 the Commands Manual.

Display the features that are enabled by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand.

The following is an example of the possible output.

If a PCT quantity is not enabled, perform the Changing the Point Code and CIC Translation Quantity procedure to enable a PCT quantity. The PCT value for all linksets is set to the default value off and the value of the PCT field in the rtrv-stpopts output is set to the default value off. After the Changing the Point Code and CIC Translation Quantity procedure has been performed, continue the procedure with 2.

If a PCT quantity is enabled, continue the procedure with 2.

Display the linksets in the database by entering the rtrv-ls command. This is an example of the possible output.

The PCT value of the linkset will have no effect on the linkset's traffic unless the PCT value shown in the rtrv-stpopts output (6) is lset.

Display the existing value for the pct parameter by entering the rtrv-stpopts command. This is an example of the possible output.

Note:
The rtrv-stpopts command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-stpopts command, see the rtrv-stpopts command description in the Commands Manual.

If the PCT value is is lset, continue the procedure with 7.
If the PCT value is either on or off, perform one of these actions.
- If you wish to change the PCT value to lset, perform the Configuring the Point Code and CIC Translation STP Option procedure. This procedure is finished.
- If you do not wish to change the PCT value to lset, continue the procedure with 7

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.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
