blk-slk

Use this command to force a local processor outage (LPO) on the specified link. The system begins sending link status signal units (LSSU) with status of processor outage (SIPO) to the adjacent signaling point.

Caution:

Maintenance personnel should use this command only to block MSUs from being sent to the system. Level 2 status remains in service, except when the link is an ATM high-speed signaling link.

Note:

The signaling link’s blocked status is not preserved across a card reboot.

Parameters

link (mandatory)

The signaling link defined on the card specified in the loc parameter. The links can be specified in any sequence or pattern.

Synonym:

port

Range:

a, b, a1 - a63, b1 - b63

Not all card types support all link parameter values.

See Table A-1 for valid link parameter range values for each type of card that can have a location specified by the loc parameter.

loc (mandatory)

The card location as stenciled on the shelf of the system.

Range:: 1101 - 1108, 1111 - 1112, 1201 - 1208, 1211 - 1218, 1301 - 1308, 1311 - 1318, 2101 - 2108, 2111 - 2118, 2201 - 2208, 2211 - 2218, 2301 - 2308, 2311 - 2318, 3101 - 3108, 3111 - 3118, 3201 - 3208, 3211 - 3218, 3301 - 3308, 3311 - 3318, 4101 - 4108, 4111 - 4118, 4201 - 4208, 4211 - 4218, 4301 - 4308, 4311 - 4318, 5101 - 5108, 5111 - 5118, 5201 - 5208, 5211 - 5218, 5301 - 5308, 5311 - 5318, 6101 - 6108, 6111 - 6118

Example

blk-slk:loc=2311:link=a

Dependencies

A card location that is valid and defined in the database must be specified.

No other action command can be in progress when this command is entered.

The card must contain signaling links.

The signaling link must be equipped in the database.

The card that contains the specified signaling link must be equipped in the specified card location.

The card in the specified card location cannot be a MUX card or the cards running the OAM application.

This command is not valid for links belonging to proxy linksets.

This command is not valid for cards running IPGHC links.

An appropriate value must be specified for the link parameter when an ATM card is used:

a-a1, b—E5-ATM-B card running the ATMANSI or ATMITU application

The blk-slk command is not supported for links associated with J7 APCs.

Notes

The function of this command is the same as the act-lpo command.

This command generates a minor alarm. Refer to Maintenance Guide for information on MRNs 0201 and 0208.

If this command is followed by the init-card command, the signaling link blockage is not preserved after the init-card command completes.

Installation Guide provides an illustration of card locations.

If the blk-slk or act-lpo command is issued for an IPSG signaling link, then one of the following events occurs:

IPSG-M2PA signaling link—MTP3 local processor outage is initiated.
IPSG-M3UA signaling link—The link is prohibited from entering service by rejecting received AS-ACTIVE messages.
