Changing a Signaling Link Test Message

This procedure is used to change an SLTM (signaling link test message) using the chg-slt command.

The chg-slt command uses these parameters.

:sltset – The signaling link test message record number in the SLTM table.

:t1 – The T1 timer for repeating the SLTM after a failure

:t2 – The T2 timer for the SLTM period

:enabled – Enables the signaling link test message.

:mode – The SLTM mode to be used when sending test messages.

:pattern – The test pattern to be sent with a signaling link test message.

1. Display the SLTM record to be changed using the rtrv-slt command.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   20      6.0  90.0 SPECIAL ON      AABBCCDD
   

2. Change the SLTM record using the chg-slt command.

   For this example, signaling link test message 2 is being changed to these values:

   T1 = 10.0

   T2 = 50.0

   MODE = REGULAR

   ENABLED = ON

   PATTERN = AB987654321

   To make these changes, enter this command.

   chg-slt:sltset=2:t1=10.0:t2=50.0:mode=regular:enabled=on :pattern=ab987654321

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

   CHG-SLT: MASP A - COMPLTD
   

3. Verify the changes using the rtrv-slt command, specifying the SLTM record.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-07 00:23:35 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   SLTM PARAMETERS
   SLTSET  T1   T2   MODE    ENABLED PATTERN
   2       10.0 50.0 REGULAR ON      AB987654321
   

4. 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.
