Configuring the Options for Handling TFCs on ITU-I and ITU-N Networks

This procedure is used to configure the options for handling TFCs on ITU-I and ITU-N networks using the chg-ss7opts command with these two parameters:

:discardtfci – This parameter specifies that the EAGLE 5 ISS discards TFC traffic received from an ITU-I network (discardtfci=on), or does not discard TFC traffic received from an ITU-I network (discardtfci=off). The system default value for this parameter is off.

:discardtfcn – This parameter specifies that the EAGLE 5 ISS discards TFC traffic received from an ITU-N network (discardtfcn=on), or does not discard TFC traffic received from an ITU-N network (discardtfcn=off). The system default value for this parameter is off.

1. Display the existing values for the discardtfci and discardtfcn parameters by entering the rtrv-ss7opts command.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   SS7 OPTIONS
   -----------------------
   DISCARDTFCI         off
   DISCARDTFCN         off
   

   Note:

   The rtrv-ss7opts command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-ss7opts command, see the rtrv-ss7opts command description in the Commands Manual.
2. Change the value of the discardtfci and discardtfcn parameters.

   The values of these parameters is either on or off. The value specified in this step cannot be the same as the value shown in step 1.

   If you wish to change the value of the discardtfci parameter, specify the discardtfci parameter with the chg-ss7opts command. For this example, enter this command.

   chg-ss7opts:discardtfci=on

   If you wish to change the value of the discardtfcn parameter, specify the discardtfcn parameter with the chg-ss7opts command. For this example, enter this command.

   chg-ss7opts:discardtfcn=on

   If you wish to change the value of both the discardtfci and discardtfcn parameters, specify the discardtfci and discardtfcn parameters with the chg-ss7opts command. For this example, enter this command.

   chg-ss7opts:discardtfci=on:discardtfcn=on

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

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-07 00:22:57 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   CHG-SS7OPTS: MASP A - COMPLTD
   

3. Verify the changes using the rtrv-ss7opts command.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-17 16:02:05 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   SS7 OPTIONS
   -----------------------
   DISCARDTFCI          on
   DISCARDTFCN          on
   

   Note:

   The rtrv-ss7opts command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-ss7opts command, see the rtrv-ss7opts command description in the Commands Manual.
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.
