D Reference Information

Appendix D, Reference Information, contains the following information that is used by more than one procedure in this manual: Requirements for EAGLEs Containing more than 700 Signaling Links Determining the Number of High-Speed and Low-Speed Signaling Links

Requirements for EAGLEs Containing more than 1200 Signaling Links

To provision an EAGLE with more than 1200 signaling links (currently the EAGLE can have maximum capacities of 1200, 1500, 2000, or 2800 signaling links), the following additional requirements must be met:

  • The Measurements Platform feature must be enabled. Perform these procedures in Database Administration - System Management User's Guide to enable the Measurements Platform Feature:
    • Adding an MCPM
    • Configuring the IP Communications Link for the Measurements Platform Feature
    • Adding an FTP Server
  • To provision more than 1200 signaling links, the Large System # Links controlled feature must be enabled for 1500, 2000, or 2800 signaling links. For more information on enabling this feature, go to the Enabling the Large System # Links Controlled Feature procedure.

Determining the Number of High-Speed and Low-Speed Signaling Links

The EAGLE can contain these quantities of signaling links.

  • The maximum number of IP signaling links (signaling links assigned to IPLIMx cards, IPGWx cards, or IPSG cards) or ATM high-speed signaling links (signaling links (signaling links assigned to cards running either ATMANSI or ATMITU applications), is limited by the total provisioned system TPS (transactions per second). If the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature is not enabled or turned on, the total provisioned system TPS is 500,000 TPS. If the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature is enabled and turned on, the total provisioned system TPS is 1,000,000 (1M) TPS. The total provisioned system TPS is shown in the rtrv-tps output. The EAGLE supports these quantities.
    • 187 IPLIMx cards with each card supporting 4000 TPS. An IPLIMx card can contain up to 16 signaling links. For more information about configuring an IPLIMx signaling link, see the "Adding an IPLIMx Signaling Link" procedure in Database Administration - IP7 User's Guide. The EAGLE can support a maximum of 250 IPLIMx cards but not all the IPLIMx cards can contain provisioned signaling links.
    • 187 IPGWx cards with each card supporting 4000 TPS. An IPGWx card can contain one signaling link. For more information about configuring an IPGWx signaling link, see the "Adding an IPGWx Signaling Link" procedure in Database Administration - IP7 User's Guide. The EAGLE can support a maximum of 250 IPGWx cards if the TPS that is assigned to some of the IPGWx cards is less than 4000, and there are no other types of cards are in the database other than the control cards.
    • 150 IPSG cards with each card supporting 5000 TPS. An IPSG card can contain up to 32 (128 for SLIC) signaling links. For more information about configuring an IPSG signaling link, see the "Adding an IPSG M2PA Signaling Link" procedure or "Adding an IPSG M3UA Signaling Link" procedure in Database Administration - IP7 User's Guide. The EAGLE can support a maximum of 250 IPSG cards if the TPS that is assigned to some of the IPSG cards is less than 5000, and there are no other types of cards are in the database other than the control cards.
    • The amount of TPS for an ANSI ATM high-speed signaling link is 1630. The amount of TPS for an ITU ATM high-speed signaling link is 2038. The EAGLE supports a maximum of 460 ANSI ATM high-speed signaling links and a maximum or 368 ITU ATM high-speed signaling links.
  • A maximum of 80 unchannelized E1 signaling links. An HC MIM can contain two unchannelized E1 signaling links. An E5-E1T1 card can contain one unchannelized E1 signaling link.
  • A maximum of 180 unchannelized T1 signaling links. An unchannelized T1 signaling link can be assigned only to an E5-E1T1 card. An E5-E1T1 card can contain one unchannelized T1 signaling link.

The EAGLE can contain a maximum of 250 cards. This quantity does not include the control cards. The sum of the quantities of the signaling links shown in this list cannot be provisioned in the EAGLE as the EAGLE cannot contain enough cards to support the sum of the quantities of these signaling links.

Other signaling links, not shown in this list, can be provisioned if there is space in the shelves for the cards that support these signaling links, and the enabled signaling link quantity is not exceeded.

This hardware is the only hardware that is supported for an EAGLE containing 2001 to 2800 signaling links.
