Activating the SCCP Loop Detection Feature

This procedure is used to enable and turn on the SCCP Loop Detection feature using the feature’s part number and a feature access key.

The feature access key for the SCCP Loop Detection feature is based on the feature’s part number and the serial number of the EAGLE, making the feature access key site-specific.

The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the feature by inputting the feature’s access key and the feature’s part number with these parameters:

:fak – The feature access key provided. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.

:partnum – The issued part number of the SCCP Loop Detection feature, 893016501.

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires that the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE, and that this serial number is locked. This can be verified with the rtrv-serial-num command. The EAGLE is shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number is not locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the EAGLE is on-site, with the ent-serial-num command. The ent-serial-num command uses these parameters.

:serial – The serial number assigned to the EAGLE. The serial number is not case sensitive.

:lock – Specifies whether or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value, yes, which locks the serial number. Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.

Note:

To enter and lock the EAGLE’s serial number, the ent-serial-num command must be entered twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the serial parameter, then again with the serial and the lock=yes parameters to lock the serial number. You should verify that the serial number in the database is correct before locking the serial number. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).

This feature cannot be temporarily enabled (with the temporary feature access key).

Once this feature is enabled, provisioning for this feature can be performed, but the feature will not work until the feature is turned on with the chg-ctrl-feat command. The chg-ctrl-feat command uses these parameters:

:partnum – The issued part number of the SCCP Loop Detection feature, 893016501.

:status=on – used to turn the SCCP Loop Detection feature on.

Once the SCCP Loop Detection feature has been turned on, it be cannot be turned off.

The status of the features in the EAGLE is shown with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

Once the SCCP Loop Detection feature is turned on, SCCP Loop Detection is performed on MSUs requiring global title translation. For more information on the SCCP Loop Detection feature, refer to the SCCP Loop Detection section.

Display the status of the SCCP Loop Detection feature by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. The following is an example of the possible output.

The following features have expired temporary keys:

Zero entries found.

If the SCCP Loop Detection feature is enabled and turned on, no further action is necessary. This procedure does not need to be performed.

If the SCCP Loop Detection feature is enabled and but not turned on, skip steps 2 through 9 and go to step 10.

If the SCCP Loop Detection feature is not enabled, go to step 2.

Verify that the GTT feature is on, by entering the rtrv-feat command. If the GTT feature is on, the GTT field should be set to on.

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

If the GTT feature is on, shown by the entry GTT = on in the rtrv-feat command output in skip step 3 and go to step 4.

If the GTT feature is off, perform step 3 to turn the GTT feature on.
Turn the global title translation feature on by entering this command.
chg-feat:gtt=on

NOTE: Once the Global Title Translation (GTT) feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, it cannot be turned off. The GTT feature must be purchased before turning it on. If you are not sure whether you have purchased the GTT feature, contact your Sales Representative or Account Representative.

When the chg-feat command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

Display the cards in the EAGLE using the rtrv-card command. The SCCP Loop Detection feature requires that SMs or E5-SM4G cards running the VSCCP application are in the database. This is an example of the possible output.

There are two types of service modules, SMs or E5-SM4G cards running the VSCCP application.

SMsand E5-SM4G cards are shown by the entries SM in the TYPE column and VSCCP in the APPL column.

If no service modules are shown in the rtrv-card output, perform Adding a Service Module to add SMs or E5-SM4G cards to the EAGLE.

If SMs or E5-SM4G cards running the VSCCP application are in the EAGLE, go to step 5.

Note:
If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in step 1 shows any controlled features, skip steps 5 through 8, and go to step 9. If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIM SLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, steps 5 through 8 must be performed.
Display the serial number in the database with 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.

rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
Command Completed.
```
Note:
If the serial number is correct and locked, continue the procedure with EAGLE. If the serial number is correct but not locked, continue the procedure with 8. If the serial number is not correct, but is locked, this feature 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).
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>

When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Verify the serial number entered into 6 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.

rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
Command Completed.
```
If the serial number was not entered correctly, repeat steps 6 and 7 and re-enter the correct serial number.
Lock the serial number in the database by entering the ent-serial-num command with the serial number shown in 5, if the serial number shown in 5 is correct, or with the serial number shown in 7, if the serial number was changed in 6, and with the lock=yes parameter.
For this example, enter this command.

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

When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Enable the SCCP Loop Detection feature with the enable-ctrl-feat command specifying the part number for the SCCP Loop Detection feature and the feature access key. Enter this command.
enable-ctrl-feat:partnum=893016501:fak=<SCCP Loop Detection feature access key>

Note:
The SCCP Loop Detection feature cannot be enabled with a temporary feature access key.

Note:
The values for the feature access key (the fak parameter) are provided by. If you do not have the feature access key for the SCCP Loop Detection feature, contact your Sales Representative or Account Representative.

Caution:
Once the SCCP Loop Detection feature is enabled, provisioning for SCCP Loop Detection can be performed, but the EAGLE will not perform SCCP Loop Detection on GTT traffic until the SCCP Loop Detection feature is turned on in step 10.

When the enable-crtl-feat command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

Turn the SCCP Loop Detection feature on with the chg-ctrl-feat command specifying the part number for the SCCP Loop Detection feature and the status=on parameter.
Enter this command.

chg-ctrl-feat:partnum=893016501:status=on

Note:
Once this feature is turned on, it cannot be turned off.

When the chg-crtl-feat command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
