Adding an IPLIMx Card

This procedure is used to add an IPLIMx card to the database using the ent-card command. An IPLIMx card runs either the IPLIM or IPLIMI applications. A maximum of 100 IPLIMx cards can be provisioned in the database. Table 3-1 shows the cards that can be provisioned in this procedure.

Table 3-1 IPLIMx Card Types

Card Type	Part Number
E5-ENET	870-2212-xx
E5-ENET-B	870-2971-xx

The EAGLE can support a combination of E5-ENET and E5-ENET-B cards.

The ent-card command uses these parameters.

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

:type – The type of card being added to the database. For this procedure, the value of this parameter is dcm.

:appl – The application software that is assigned to the card. For this procedure, the value of this parameter is iplim for ANSI IP network connections or iplimi for ITU IP network connections.

:force – If the global title translation feature is on, the force=yes parameter allows the LIM to be added to the database even if the current SCCP transactions-per-second threshold is unable to support the additional SCCP transaction-per-second capacity created by adding the IP card. This parameter is obsolete and is no longer used.

Card Slot Selection

The E5-ENET card can be inserted into any card slot, except for card slots that must remain empty to accommodate dual-slot cards, slots 09 and 10 in each shelf, and slots 1113 through 1118.

To provision a E5-ENET card, the shelf containing the E5-ENET card must have HIPR2 cards installed in slots 9 and 10 in that shelf. If HIPR2 cards are not installed in the shelf that the E5-ENET card will occupy, the E5-ENET card will be auto-inhibited when the E5-ENET card is inserted into the shelf. Enter the rept-stat-gpl:gpl=hipr2 command to verify whether or not HIPR2 cards are installed in the same shelf as the E5-ENET card being provisioned in this procedure.

Before adding an IPLIMx card, the Eagle STP must have a fan unit, and the fan feature must be turned on. Also, the MFC STP option must be on.

Display the cards in the database using the rtrv-card command.

This is an example of the possible output. Cards should be distributed throughout the EAGLE for proper power distribution. Refer to Installation Guide for the shelf power distribution.

Continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.

If the required unprovisioned card slots (see the section Card Slot Selection) are shown in the rtrv-card output, continue the procedure with 4.
If the required unprovisioned card slots are not shown in the rtrv-card output, 2 must be performed.

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

If all the shelves are provisioned in the database, then the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed. There are no available card slots for the new IPLIMx card.

If all the shelves have not been provisioned in the database, continue the procedure with 3.
Add the required shelf using the ent-shlf command with the location of the shelf and the type=ext parameter. The shelf location values are 1200, 1300, 2100, 2200, 2300, 3100, 3200, 3300, 4100, 4200, 4300, 5100, 5200, 5300, and 6100. For this example, enter this command.
ent-shlf:loc=3100:type=ext

When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

Verify that the card to be entered has been physically installed into the proper location (see the section Card Slot Selection).

Caution:
If the versions of the flash GPLs on the IPSG card do not match the flash GPL versions in the database when the IPSG card is inserted into the card slot, UAM 0002 is generated indicating that these GPL versions do not match. If UAM 0002 has been generated, perform the alarm clearing procedure for UAM 0002 in Maintenance Guide before proceeding with this procedure.

Note:
If the card being added in this procedure is not an E5-ENET card, continue the procedure with 10.

Verify that HIPR2 cards are installed in card locations 9 and 10 in the shelf containing the E5-ENET card being added in this procedure. Enter this command.

rept-stat-gpl:gpl=hipr2

This is an example of the possible output.

If HIPR2 cards are installed in the shelf containing the E5-ENET card, continue the procedure with 10.

If HIPR or HIPR2 cards are not installed on the shelf containing the E5-ENET card, go to Installation Guide and install the HIPR2 cards. Once the HIPR2 cards have been installed, continue the procedure with 10.

Enter the rtrv-stpopts command to verify whether or not the MFC option is on.
This is an example of the possible output.

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 7.

The Fan feature must be purchased before you turn this feature on with the chg-feat command. If you are not sure if you have purchased the Fan feature, contact your Sales Representative or Account Representative.
Enter the rtrv-feat command to verify that the Fan feature is on.

If the Fan feature is on, shown in either the rtrv-feat output in this step or in 7, continue this procedure with 9.

If 7 was not performed, 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 off, continue the procedure with 8.
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.

The shelf containing the E5-ENET-B card that is being added in this procedure must have fans installed. Verify whether or not fans are installed on the shelf.

If the fans are installed, continue the procedure with 10.

If the fans are not installed on the shelf containing the E5-ENET-B card, go to Installation Guide and install the fans. After the fans have been installed and tested, continue the procedure with 10.
Add the card using the ent-card command. For this example, enter these commands.
ent-card:loc=1311:type=dcm:appl=iplim

ent-card:loc=1313:type=dcm:appl=iplimi

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