5 Controlled Feature Activation Procedures
Appendix A, Controlled Feature Activation Procedures, describes the procedures necessary to activate and deactivate features (features that require a feature access key to be activated) contained in this user's guide.
5.1 Introduction
Note:
As of Release 46.3, the parameter fak is no longer required. This parameter is only used for backward compatibility.Controlled features are features that are activated using a feature access key. These features can either be on or off, or features that operate at a particular performance level. Only the controlled features that are used in this user's guide are covered in this appendix.
The feature access key allows the user to enable and activate a controlled feature in the EAGLE by entering either a permanent feature access key or a temporary feature access key. By requiring a feature access key to enable and activate a controlled feature, unauthorized enabling and activation of a controlled feature can be prevented. The feature access key is supplied by Oracle Communications.
Features enabled with a permanent feature access key remain enabled for as long as the EAGLE remains in service. Once features are permanently enabled, they cannot be disabled.
Features enabled with a temporary feature access key are enabled for only 30 days. On the twenty-third day, seven days before the temporary key expires, a major alarm (UAM 0367) is generated to inform the user that the one or more temporary feature access keys will expire soon.
0367.0181 ** SYSTEM Temp Key(s) expiring soon.
If a temporary feature access key expires, the controlled feature is disabled and a critical alarm (UAM 0368) is generated.
0368.0181 *C SYSTEM Temp Key(s) have expired.
Any attempts to enable the controlled feature with the temporary feature access key are rejected. The controlled feature can be enabled only by entering the permanent feature access key for the controlled feature.
To clear the critical alarm (UAM 0368), the user can either enter the
chg-ctrl-feat
command with the
alarm=clear
parameter, or permanently
enable the controlled feature by entering the permanent feature access key for
the controlled feature.
If the critical alarm is cleared with the
chg-ctrl-feat
command, the controlled
feature is disabled and cannot be enabled with the temporary feature access
key. The feature can be enabled only by entering the permanent feature access
key for the controlled feature.
5.2 Activating the IGTTLS feature
This procedure is used to enable and activate the Intermediate GTT Load Sharing feature.
The feature access key is based on the feature’s part number and the serial number of the EAGLE 5, making the feature access key site-specific.
The
enable-ctrl-feat
command enables the
Intermediate GTT Load Sharing feature by inputting the feature’s access key and
the feature’s part number with these parameters:
:fak
– The feature access
key generated by the feature access key generator. The feature access key
contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.
:partnum
– The issued
part number of the Intermediate GTT Load Sharing feature, 893006901.
If the feature is being enabled with a temporary feature access key, the feature must not be in the in-use, expired, or unavailable state.
The
enable-ctrl-feat
command requires that
the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE 5, and that this
serial number is locked. This can be verified with the
rtrv-serial-num
command. The EAGLE 5 is
shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number is not
locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the
EAGLE 5 is on-site, with the
ent-serial-num
command. The
ent-serial-num
command uses these
parameters.
:serial
– The serial
number assigned to the EAGLE 5. The serial number is not case sensitive.
:lock
– Specifies whether
or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value,
yes
, which locks the serial number.
Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.
Note:
To enter and lock the EAGLE 5’s serial number, theent-serial-num
command must be entered
twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the
serial
parameter, then again with the
serial
and the
lock=yes
parameters to lock the serial
number. You should verify that the serial number in the database is correct
before locking the serial number. The serial number can be found on a label
affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).
Once the feature has been enabled, the feature must be
activated with the
chg-ctrl-feat
command. The
chg-ctrl-feat
command uses these
parameters:
:partnum
– The issued
part number of the Intermediate GTT Load Sharing feature, 893006901.
:status=on
– used to
activate the features that customer has purchased and enabled.
The status of the controlled features in the EAGLE 5 is
shown with the
rtrv-ctrl-feat
command.
The examples in this procedure are used to enable and activate the Intermediate GTT Load Sharing feature.

5.3 Clearing a Temporary FAK Alarm
This procedure is used to clear the critical alarm, UAM
0368, generated when a temporary feature access key has expired, using the
chg-ctrl-feat
command.
The
chg-ctrl-feat
command uses the
following parameters:
:partnum
- The part
number of the controlled feature that was temporarily enabled and is causing
the alarm.
:alarm=clear
- Clears UAM
0368, Temp Key(s) have expired.
The controlled feature must have been temporarily enabled and is now in danger of expiration or in an expired state.
Figure 5-5 Clear a Temporary FAK Alarm

5.4 Turning Off the IGTTLS Feature
This procedure is used to turn off the IGTTLS feature,
using the
chg-ctrl-feat
command.
The
chg-ctrl-feat
command uses the
following parameters:
:partnum
- The part
number of the IGTTLS feature, 893006901.
:status=off
– used to
deactivate the IGTTLS feature.
The status of the IGTTLS controlled feature must be
on
and is shown with the
rtrv-ctrl-feat
command.
The GTT Load Sharing with Alternate Routing Indicator feature must be turned off before the IGTTLS feature can be turned off.
Caution:
If the IGTTLS feature is deactivated, theent-mrn
and
chg-mrn
commands cannot be executed,
and mated relay node groups and point codes cannot be configured in the
database. The mated relay node groups and point codes can be displayed with the
rtrv-mrn
command and removed from the
database with the
dlt-mrn
command if the IGTTLS feature
is deactivated.

5.5 Enabling the XGTT Table Expansion Feature
This procedure is used to enable the XGTT Table Expansion feature using the feature’s part number and a feature access key.
The feature access key for the XGTT Table Expansion feature is based on the feature’s part number and the serial number of the EAGLE, making the feature access key site-specific.
This feature allows the user to increase the maximum number of entries in the global title translation table from 269,999 entries to either 400,000 or 1,000,000 entries. Each level of increase has its own part number.
- Increase to 400,000 entries – part number 893006101
- Increase to 1,000,000 entries – part number 893006110
This feature requires that the following hardware is installed:
- E5-MCAP cards are installed in card locations 1113 and 1115.
- For a maximum of 400,000 entries, all service modules in the EAGLE can be E5-SM4G cards.
- For a maximum of 1,000,000 entries, all service modules in the EAGLE must be E5-SM8G-B or SLIC cards.
The service module requirements are dependent on any other GTT-related features that are enabled. Perform Adding a Service Module to make sure that the proper hardware is in place to support the XGTT Table Expansion feature.
The XGTT Table Expansion feature requires that the Global
Title Translation (GTT) feature is enabled with the
chg-feat
command using the
gtt=on
parameters.
Note:
Once the Global Title Translation feature is turned on with thechg-feat
command, it cannot be turned
off.
The Global Title Translation feature must be purchased before it can be turned on. If you are not sure whether you have purchased the Global Title Translation feature, contact your Sales Representative or Account Representative.
The
enable-ctrl-feat
command enables the
XGTT Table Expansion feature by inputting the feature’s access key and the
feature’s part number with these parameters:
:fak
– The feature access
key provided. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is
not case sensitive. The feature access key is optional.
:partnum
– The issued
part number of the XGTT Table Expansion feature, for 400,000 entries –
893006101, for 1,000,000 entries – 893006110
The
enable-ctrl-feat
command requires that
the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE, and that this serial
number is locked. This can be verified with the
rtrv-serial-num
command. The EAGLE is
shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number is not
locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the
EAGLE 5 is on-site, with the
ent-serial-num
command. The
ent-serial-num
command uses these
parameters.
:serial
– The serial
number assigned to the EAGLE. The serial number is not case sensitive.
:lock
– Specifies whether
or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value,
yes
, which locks the serial number.
Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.
Note:
To enter and lock the EAGLE’s serial number, theent-serial-num
command must be entered
twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the
serial
parameter, then again with the
serial
and the
lock=yes
parameters to lock the serial
number. You should verify that the serial number in the database is correct
before locking the serial number. The serial number can be found on a label
affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).
This feature cannot be temporarily enabled.
Once this feature is enabled with the
enable-ctrl-feat
command (for either
400,000 or 1,000,000 entries), the feature is also activated. This feature
cannot be disabled with the
chg-ctrl-feat
command. The
chg-ctrl-feat

5.6 Enabling the XMAP Table Expansion Feature
This procedure is used to enable the XMAP Table Expansion feature using the feature’s part number and a feature access key.
The feature access key for the XMAP Table Expansion feature is based on the feature’s part number and the serial number of the EAGLE, making the feature access key site-specific.
This feature allows the user to increase the maximum number of entries in the mated application table from 1024 entries to either 2000 or 3000 entries. Each level of increase has its own part number.
- Increase to 2000 entries – part number 893007701
- Increase to 3000 entries – part number 893007710
This feature requires that the following hardware is installed:
- E5-MCAP cards are installed in card locations 1113 and 1115.
- For a maximum of 2000 or 3000 entries, all service modules in the EAGLE can be either SMs or E5-SM4G cards.
The service module requirements are dependent on any other GTT-related features that are enabled. Perform Adding a Service Module to make sure that the proper hardware is in place to support the XMAP Table Expansion feature.
The XMAP Table Expansion feature requires that the Global
Title Translation (GTT) feature is enabled with the
chg-feat
command using the
gtt=on
parameters.
Note:
Once the Global Title Translation feature is turned on with thechg-feat
command, it cannot be turned
off.
The Global Title Translation feature must be purchased before it can be turned on. If you are not sure whether you have purchased the Global Title Translation feature, contact your Sales Representative or Account Representative.
The
enable-ctrl-feat
command enables the
controlled feature by inputting the feature’s access key and the feature’s part
number with these parameters:
:fak
– The feature access
key generated by the feature access key generator. The feature access key
contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.
:partnum
– The issued
part number of the XMAP Table Expansion feature, for 2,000 entries – 893007701,
for 3,000 entries – 893007710
The
enable-ctrl-feat
command requires that
the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE, and that this serial
number is locked. This can be verified with the
rtrv-serial-num
command. The EAGLE is
shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number is not
locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the
EAGLE is on-site, with the
ent-serial-num
command. The
ent-serial-num
command uses these
parameters.
:serial
– The serial
number assigned to the EAGLE. The serial number is not case sensitive.
:lock
– Specifies whether
or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value,
yes
, which locks the serial number.
Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.
Note:
To enter and lock the EAGLE’s serial number, theent-serial-num
command must be entered
twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the
serial
parameter, then again with the
serial
and the
lock=yes
parameters to lock the serial
number. You should verify that the serial number in the database is correct
before locking the serial number. The serial number can be found on a label
affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).
This feature cannot be temporarily enabled (with the temporary feature access key).
Once this feature is enabled with the
enable-ctrl-feat
command (for either
2000 or 3000 entries), the feature is also activated. This feature cannot be
disabled with the
chg-ctrl-feat
command. The

5.7 Activating the EPAP Data Split and Dual ExAP Configuration Features
This procedure is used to enable and turn on the EPAP Data Split and Dual ExAP Configuration features using the feature part numbers.
Once the feature is turned ON, E5-SMxG card can be provisioned as either a DN card or IMSI card. On the DN card, DN, DN Block, ASD and Entity data is be loaded. On the IMSI card, IMSI, IMEI, IMEI Block and Entity data is loaded. The feature also provides the GTT data type. A maximum of 240 million of DN data is loaded on the DN cards and a maximum of 240 million of IMSI on IMSI cards. The total maximum capacity of 480 million data is supported system wide.
With the Dual ExAP Configuration feature, the EPAP-based features and ELAP-based features can be turned on (and process traffic) simultaneously on the same EAGLE. This feature is used to control the provisioning of E5-SMxG card to be EPAP, ELAP or GTT data types, and determine the table to download to the corresponding E5-SMxG. Another data type, GTT, is also assigned to E5-SMxG card if the corresponding E5-SMxG card does not download any tables from EPAP or ELAP.

ON | ON | 240M | 240M | 480M | 48M | Yes | 240M | 480M (420M DN + 240M IMSI) |
Note:
*Use the AUTO=YES parameter with thechg-ip-lnk
command to set ExAP Ports
on SM (SMxG/SLIC) cards to auto negotiate the speed and duplex. Corresponding
ports on EPAP LAN switches should be configured accordingly to achieve the
required operational speed and duplex of 1Gbps and Full Duplex. Refer to ExAP
Administration Guide for more information.
Once the SM cards in service, the pass command
pass:cmd="netstat -i":loc=<:SM card
loc>
can be used to verify the operational speed and duplex of
ExAP ports on SM cards.
Table 5-2 Reload Times For Cards Connected to EPAP With Cold Restart and 240M DN + 240M IMSI
Data Rate between EPAP and card | 1 card (before 46.4) | Up to 32 cards (before 46.4) | From 33 up to 40 cards (46.5 and later) |
---|---|---|---|

.
Note:
After the previous command has been performed, restart the PDBA and the EPAP application to complete feature activation.Note:
Turning on the EPAP_DATA_SPLIT feature allows the 240M data to be provisioned and EIR_BLK_EXPANSION_100k will increase the provisioning capacity of EIR blocks from 50k to 100k.EIR Block Expansion Feature
By default the feature EIR block expansion to 100K is
OFF. The "uiEdit" tool is used to turn this ON. Execute following command to
view the current value of configurable parameter:
$ /usr/TKLC/epap/bin/uiEdit
EIR_BLK_EXPANSION_100K
.
$ /usr/TKLC/epap/bin/uiEdit

.
Note:
After the previous command has been performed, restart the PDBA or send SIGHUP signal to PDBA to complete feature activation.Note:
To enter and lock the EAGLE's serial number, theent-serial-num
command must be entered
twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the
serial
parameter, then again with the
serial
and the
lock=yes
parameters to lock the serial
number. The user should verify that the serial number in the database is
correct before locking the serial number. The serial number can be found on a
label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).
5.8 Activating the EPAPX DB Expansion Feature
When EPAP is running on release 16.3 with its full capacity, DN-based SLIC-SCCP cards are able to load 480M individual DN entries. IMSI-based SLIC-SCCP cards are be able to load 600M individual IMSI entries or 600M individual IMEI entries. This is applicable when the EPAP Split DB feature is ON. DB allocation to EAGLE EPAP-based cards are flexible, as per the configurations done on the EPAP side.
Note:
Once the STPOPTS:EPAPX feature is enabled, STPOPTS:EPAP240M cannot be enabled.If the EPAP Split DB feature is OFF, then the DN & IMSI tables are loaded onto a single EPAP card. In this case the DN + IMSI entries must be less than 480M. The exact allowed combinations are listed in the following table:
Note:
Table 5-3 details the card configuration as in data=<dn/imsi/epap>.Table 5-3 EAGLE Feature and EPAPX DB Capacity Combinations
EPAP Split DB Feature | STPOPTS: EPAPX | Max Ind. DNs | Max Ind. IMSIs | Max Ind. DNs + Ind. IMSIs | Max Ind. IMEIs | Max RTDB Size (DN+IMSI+IMEI) Supported on Ind. SLIC |

OFF | ON | 480M | 480M | 480M | 480M | 480M (DN + IMSI + IMEI) |
ON | ON | 480M | 600M | 1080M | 600M |
480M for DN card 600M for IMSI card |
To enable the 480M DN & 600M IMSI/600M IMEI capacity expansion on EAGLE, the epapx parameter is introduced in the STPOPTS table. The SLIC-SCCP cards on EAGLE are able to load 480M DN entries only when the STPOPTS: EPAPX parameter is ON. Similarly, SLIC-SCCP cards on EAGLE are able to load 600M IMSI or 600M IMEI entries only when the STPOPTS: EPAPX parameter is ON.
Note:
The STPOPTS:EPAPX feature can only be turned ON if all EPAP-based SCCP cards are SLIC cards running 64-bit GPLs, and all other types of EPAP-based SCCP cards, including SMxG cards and SLIC cards running 32-bit GPLs, are either inhibited or deleted from the EAGLE. Once turned ON, it is not possible to turn OFF the option manually.Note:
Turning on the EPAPX DB Expansion feature allows the 480M data to be provisioned and the DN block capacity will be 400k.Execute these steps to activate the EPAPX DB Expansion feature.
5.9 Activating the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion Feature
This procedure is used to enable and turn on the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature using the feature’s part number.
The
enable-ctrl-feat
command enables the
feature by inputting the feature’s access key and the feature’s part number
with these parameters:
:partnum
– The issued
part number of the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature, 893012001.
The
enable-ctrl-feat
command requires that
the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE, and that this serial
number is locked. This can be verified with the
rtrv-serial-num
command. The EAGLE is
shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number is not
locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the
EAGLE is on-site, with the
ent-serial-num
command. The
ent-serial-num
command uses these
parameters.
:serial
– The serial
number assigned to the EAGLE. The serial number is not case sensitive.
:lock
– Specifies whether
or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value,
yes
, which locks the serial number.
Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.
Note:
To enter and lock the EAGLE's serial number, theent-serial-num
