7.4 LNP Short Message Service Feature Configuration

This section describes the prerequisites and procedures for the configuration of the LNP Short Message Service (LNP SMS) feature.

LNP Short Message Service (LNP SMS) Feature Configuration Procedure lists the steps for enabling and turning on the LNP SMS feature, and for the provisioning required for the feature. Each step contains a link or reference to information and procedures to use to complete the step. Feature provisioning can be performed after the feature is enabled and before the feature is turned on.

Controlled features are optional and must be purchased from Oracle before they can be used in your system. If you are not sure whether you have purchased a specific feature, contact My Oracle Support (MOS).

7.4.2 LNP Short Message Service (LNP SMS) Feature Configuration Procedure

The EAGLE configuration of the LNP SMS feature consists of the following steps. The steps contain links and references to detailed procedures and information needed to complete each step.

  1. Verify, and provision if needed, the feature prerequisites. See LNP SMS Feature Prerequisites.
  2. Display the status of the LNP Short Message Service feature by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

    The following features have been permanently enabled:
    Feature Name              Partnum    Status  Quantity
    LNP Short Message Service 893006601  on          ----
    

    The LNP SMS feature can be temporarily enabled for a trial period, using part number 893006699 and a feature access key for that part number. If the feature will continue to be used after evaluating the trial results or after the trial period expires, the feature must then be permanently enabled.

    The LNP SMS feature can be permanently enabled using part number 893006601 and a feature access key for that part number.

    • If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows that the LNP Short Message Service feature is permanently enabled and the Status is on, no further action is necessary. This procedure does not need to be performed.
    • If the LNP Short Message Service feature is permanently enabled and the Status is off, go to step 4 to turn on the feature and continue with the configuration process.
    • If the LNP SMS feature is temporarily enabled, the Status is on, and the trial period has not expired and needs to continue, no further action is necessary.

      The rtrv-ctrl-feat command output shows the remaining time in the trial period if the period has not expired. If the trial period has expired, the feature is shown in the list of features with an expired temporary key, and an alarm is generated. The alarm can be cleared either by using the chg-ctrl-feat command or by permanently enabling the feature.

    • If the LNP Short Message Service feature is temporarily enabled but has not been turned on (Status is off), go to Step 4.
    • If the LNP Short Message Service feature is temporarily enabled and you want to permanently enable the feature (the temporary trial period for the feature has expired or the trial evaluation is complete), continue witho Step 3 to permanently enable the feature..
  3. Enable the LNP Short Message Service feature.
    • To permanently enable the feature, enter the enable-ctrl-feat command with part number 893006601 and the feature access key for that the permanent part number.

    • To turn on the temporarily enabled feature, enter the chg-ctrl-feat command with part number 893006699 and the status=on parameter.
  5. Verify the changes by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand with the LNP Short Message Service feature permanent or temporary feature part number.
  6. Add the Wireless Short Message Service Center (serv=wsmsc) to the LNP Service table.
    Perform the Adding an LNP Service procedure for the wsmsc service. Then continue with .
  7. Provision the WSMSC10DIC and WQREDRCT LNP configuration options for the WNP feature.
    Perform the Changing LNP Options procedure for the two options. Then continue with x.
  8. Back up the changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.
    These messages 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.
