Chapter 3, SS7 Configuration, describes the procedures necessary to configure the EAGLE to support the SS7 network.

3.1 Adding an SS7 Linkset

This procedure is used to add an SS7 linkset to the database. This procedure uses the EAGLE commands rtrv-feat, chg-feat, chg-stpopts, rtrv-stpopts, and chg-db. For more information on this procedure, see “Adding an SS7 Linkset” in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide.

If you wish to use the apci, apcn, apcn24, scrn, gwsa, gwsd, slsocbit, slsrsb, l3tset, itutfr, multgc, gwsm, apcntype, spc, spca, spci, spcn, spcn24, ppc, ppca, ppci, ppcn, ppcn24, lst=prx, cggtmod, islsrsb, or randsls parameters of the EAGLE’s ent-ls command, perform the “Adding an SS7 Linkset” procedure in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide using the SEAS FLOW-THRU command with the EAGLE commands.

This procedure cannot be used to provision a linkset whose adjacent point code is assigned to another linkset. If you wish to use the adjacent point code of another linkset as the adjacent point code of the new linkset, perform the “Adding an SS7 Linkset” procedure in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide using the SEAS FLOW-THRU command with the EAGLE commands.

If you wish to use the iptps, lsusealm, ipgwapc, slkusealm, ipsg, adapter, asnotif, rcontext, or slktps parameters of the EAGLE’s ent-ls command, perform one of these procedures in Database Administration – IP7 User's Guide using the SEAS FLOW-THRU command with the EAGLE commands.
  • Configuring an IPGWx Linkset
  • Adding an IPSGM3UA Linkset
  • Adding an IPSG M2PA Linkset

If you wish to use the gsmscrn parameter (for the GSM MAP Screening feature) of the EAGLE’s ent-ls command, perform the “Configuring a Linkset for the GSM MAP Screening Feature” procedure in Database Administration - Features User's Guide using the SEAS FLOW-THRU command with the EAGLE commands.

On the EAGLE, the linkset name can have a maximum of 10 characters. The SEAS interface supports a linkset name with a maximum of eight characters. Linkset names specified in this procedure can have a maximum of eight characters. For linkset names provisioned on the EAGLE that have more than eight characters, the SEAS interface truncates the linkset name to the first eight characters when that linkset name is displayed on the SEAS interface.

Supplier Specific Parameters

The EAGLE accepts the values for these parameters as supplier specific parameters: bei, slsci, asl8, sltset, nis, and mtprse. Table 3-1 shows how the values of these parameters are mapped to the SEAS values and a definition of each parameter. For more information on these parameters, see “Adding an SS7 Linkset” in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide.

Table 3-1 Adding an SS7 Linkset Supplier Specific Parameters

Supplier Specific Parameters EAGLE Parameter Value SEAS Parameter Value Definition

BEI

YES

NO

1

0

The broadcast exception indicator. This parameter indicates that TFPs are allowed to be broadcast on the linkset or not allowed to be broadcast on the linkset. This parameter is typically used to prevent TFPs from being broadcast to another vendor’s system.

The parameter value 1 means TFPs are not broadcast on the linkset. The parameter value 0 means TFPs are broadcast on the linkset.

SLSCI

0

The nis parameter indicates that the National Spare for Network Indicator feature is on or off for the specific linkset. This feature allows the linkset to use the national spare value (3) for the network indicator code field in the service information octet (SIO) of the MSU for ANSI linksets and ITU national linksets (linksets containing either 14-bit ITU-N point codes or 24-bit ITU-N point codes). This parameter cannot be specified for ITU international linksets.

The parameter value 1 means the National Spare for Network Indicator feature is on. The parameter value 0 means the National Spare for Network Indicator feature is off.

MTPRSE

YES

NO

1

0

The mtprse parameter indicates that the node adjacent to the EAGLE is or is not equipped with the MTP restart capability.

The parameter value 1 means the node adjacent to the EAGLE is equipped with the MTP restart capability The parameter value 0 means the node adjacent to the EAGLE is not equipped with the MTP restart capability.

The supplier specific parameters must be entered in this order.

BEI, SLSCI, ASL8, SLTSET, NIS, MTPRSE

The supplier specific parameters are optional. The default value will be entered for any supplier specific parameter not specified when adding the linkset. The default values for the supplier specific parameters are:

  • BEI = 0 (no)
  • SLSCI = 0 (no)
  • ASL8 = 0 (no)
  • SLTSET = 01
  • NIS = 0 (off)
  • MTPRSE = 0 (no)

When the linkset is displayed, the supplier specific parameter values are displayed in this order.

TFATCABMLQ, BEI, SLSCI, ASL8, SLTSET, NIS, MTPRSE

Note:

The TFATCABMLQ parameter value can be specified only when changing the attributes of a linkset (see Changing an SS7 Linkset). When a newly added linkset is displayed, the value of the TFATCABMLQ parameter is either 1, for a linkset containing C links, or 0, for a linkset containing either A, B, D, or E links. If all linksets in the EAGLE are displayed, only ANSI linksets are displayed. ITU international and ITU national linksets cannot be displayed on the SEAS interface.

To configure the ANSI MTP Restart feature using the supplier specific parameter mtprse, the ANSI MTP Restart feature must be enabled with the chg-feat command. The on=mtprsi and mtprsit parameters of the EAGLE’s chg-stpopts command are also used to configure the ANSI MTP Restart feature.

Note:

Once the ANSI MTP Restart feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

The ANSI MTP Restart feature must be purchased before you turn the features on with the chg-feat command. If you are not sure whether you have purchased the ANSI MTP restart feature, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

The 5-Bit to 8-Bit SLS Conversion feature is configured using the supplier specific parameters slsci and asl8 and the slscnv parameter of the EAGLE’s chg-stpopts command.

The actions of the supplier specific parameters slsci and asl8 parameters are affected by the slscnv parameter of the EAGLE’s chg-stpopts command. The interaction of these parameters is shown in Table 3-2.

The supplier specific parameters are optional. The current value of any supplier specific parameter not specified when changing the linkset is not changed.

When the linkset is displayed, the supplier specific parameter values are displayed in this order.

TFATCABMLQ, BEI, SLSCI, ASL8, SLTSET, NIS, MTPRSE

Note:

If all linksets in the EAGLE are displayed, only ANSI linksets are displayed. ITU international and ITU national linksets cannot be displayed on the SEAS interface.

When the number of signaling links in the specified linkset is equal to or greater than the value of the supplier specific parameter tfatcabmlq, the status of the routes that use the specified linkset is set to allowed and can carry traffic. Otherwise, these routes are restricted. The value of the tfatcabmlq parameter cannot exceed the total number of signaling links contained in the linkset. The system default value for the tfatcabmlq parameter is 0.

When the tfatcabmlq parameter value is 0, the EAGLE broadcasts TFAs/TCAs only when 1/2 of the links in the linkset (or in the combined link set in which it resides) become available. The tfatcabmlq parameter value is 1/2 of the number of signaling links contained in the linkset, or 1 when the linkset contains 0 to 3 signaling links. As signaling links are added or removed from the linkset, the tfatcabmlq parameter value will be changed automatically.

If the linkset type is being changed to C, or if the current linkset type (unchanged) is C, the supplier specific parameter tfatcabmlq cannot be specified unless the LSRESTRICT SS7 option is on. The state of the LSRESTRICT SS7 option is shown in the EAGLE’s rtrv-ss7opts command output.

To configure the ANSI MTP Restart feature using the supplier specific parameter mtprse, the ANSI MTP Restart feature must be enabled with the chg-feat command. The on=mtprsi and mtprsit parameters of the EAGLE’s chg-stpopts command are also used to configure the ANSI MTP Restart feature.

Note:

Once the ANSIMTP Restart feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

The ANSI MTP Restart feature must be purchased before you turn the features on with the chg-feat command. If you are not sure whether you have purchased the ANSI MTP restart feature, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

The 5-Bit to 8-Bit SLS Conversion feature is configured using the supplier specific parameters slsci and asl8 and the slscnv parameter of the EAGLE’s chg-stpopts command.

The actions of the supplier specific parameters slsci and asl8 are affected by the slscnv parameter of the EAGLE’s chg-stpopts command. The interaction of these parameters is shown in Table 3-4.

The SEAS parameter SVCST is not supported by the EAGLE. When a signaling link is added to the database using the EAGLE’s ent-slk command, the state of the signaling link is set to unavailable, equivalent to specifying the SVCST=UAV parameter with the SEAS ASGN-SLK command. If a signaling link is added to the database using the SEAS ASGN-SLK command, and the SVCST parameter is not specified, the state of the signaling link is set to active.

The EAGLE supports only the value N for the SEAS ENCR parameter. If the ENCR=Y parameter is specified, the parameter is rejected with the IDNS message.

The EAGLE does not support the EQOPTS parameter. Any value for this parameter is rejected by the EAGLE.

Canceling the REPT-STAT-SLK and RTRV-SLK Commands

Because the EAGLE’s rept-stat-slk and rtrv-slk commands used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rept-stat-slk and rtrv-slk commands can be canceled and the output of the rept-stat-slk command stopped. To cancel the rept-stat-slk and rtrv-slk commands, enter the EAGLE’s canc-cmd without the trm parameter and with the SEAS FLOW-THRU command.

For more information about the canc-cmd command, go to Commands User's Guide.

Notes:

  1. This procedure is not used to configure E1 signaling links. To configure E1 signaling links, go to Appendix A, “E1 Interface,” in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide.
  2. These parameters can be specified only when the value of the ecm parameter is 0.
  3. The values 0 - 4 and 6 - 31 cannot be specified for the vci parameter. These values are reserved. If a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity is enabled, the VCI parameter value can be from 00000 to 16383.
  4. If the card is a channel card (card type LIMCH), the t1port value cannot be specified. The t1loc parameter must be specified if the T1 signaling link is assigned to a channel card. The t1port and t1loc parameters cannot be specified for a channel card. If the card is an HC MIM or E5-E1T1 card (card type LIMT1), the t1port parameters can be 1 through 8. If the card is an E1/T1MIM (card type LIMT1), the t1port parameter values are either 1 or 2. The HC MIM or E5-E1T1 card cannot be a channel card.
  5. The t1loc parameter can only be specified if the card that the T1 signaling link is being assigned to is a LIMCH card
  6. On the EAGLE, the linkset name can have a maximum of 10 characters. The SEAS interface supports a linkset name with a maximum of eight characters. Linkset names specified in this procedure can have a maximum of eight characters. For linkset names provisioned on the EAGLE that have more than eight characters, the SEAS interface truncates the linkset name to the first eight characters when that linkset name is displayed on the SEAS interface. If the linkset name of the linkset specified in this procedure was configured on the EAGLE with more than eight characters, only the first eight characters of the linkset name can be specified in this procedure.
  7. The range of link parameter values is dependent on the type of LIMT1 card (either an E1/T1 MIM, an HC MIM, or E5-E1T1 card) and if the card is an HC MIM, the HC MIM signaling link quantity that is enabled.
    • E1/T1 MIM - Link Parameter Values A - A3, B - B3
    • HC MIM - Link Parameter Values A - A31, B - B31. If the Fan feature is off, shown in the rtrv-feat output with the entry FAN = off, the link parameter values can only be A - A15, B - B15.
    • E5-E1T1 - Link Parameter Values A - A15, B - B15
  8. The link values A - A3 and B - B3 can be specified only if the card is an E5-ENET card. The link values A4 - A7 and B4 - B7 can be specified only if the card is an E5-ENET card.
  9. The link value A1 and B can be specified only if the card is an E5-ATM.The link value A1 can be specified only if the feature is enabled and turned on.

3.5 Removing an SS7 Signaling Link

This procedure is used to remove an SS7 signaling link to the database. For more information on this procedure, see the “Removing an SS7 Signaling Link” procedure in the Database Administration – SS7 User's Guide. This procedure uses these EAGLE commands.

To remove a signaling link assigned to an IP card running either the ss7ipgw, ipgwi, iplim, or iplimi applications, perform one of these procedures in Database Administration – IP7 User's Guide using the SEAS FLOW-THRU command with the EAGLE commands.
  • Removing an IPLIMxSignaling Link
  • Removing an IPGWx Signaling Link
  • Removing an IPSGM3UA Signaling Link
  • Removing an IPSGM2PA Signaling Link

Canceling the REPT-STAT-SLK Command

Because the EAGLE’s rept-stat-slk command used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rept-stat-slk command can be canceled and the output of the rept-stat-slk command stopped. To cancel the rept-stat-slk command, enter the EAGLE’s canc-cmd without the trm parameter and with the SEAS FLOW-THRU command.

For more information about the canc-cmd command, go to Commands User's Guide.

3.6 Adding a Route

This procedure is used to add a route to the database. This procedure uses the EAGLE commands rept-stat-rte, rtrv-ls, rtrv-dstn, and chg-db. For more information on this procedure, see either “Adding a Route Containing an SS7 DPC” or “Adding a Route Containing a Cluster Point Code” in Database Administration – SS7 User's Guide.

If you wish to use the dpci, dpcn, dpcn24, or force parameters of the EAGLE’s ent-rte command, or assign the route being added to the database to an IPGWx linkset, perform the Adding a Route Containing an IPGWx Linkset procedure in Database Administration – SS7 User's Guide using the SEAS FLOW-THRU command with the EAGLE commands.

If the route will contain a proxy linkset (LST=PRX), or the DPC of the route will contain a proxy point code, perform the “Adding a Route Containing an SS7 DPC” procedure in Database Administration – SS7 User's Guide.

On the EAGLE, the linkset name can have a maximum of 10 characters. The SEAS interface supports a linkset name with a maximum of eight characters. Linkset names specified in this procedure can have a maximum of eight characters. For linkset names provisioned on the EAGLE that have more than eight characters, the SEAS interface truncates the linkset name to the first eight characters when that linkset name is displayed on the SEAS interface. If the linkset name of the linkset specified in this procedure was configured on the EAGLE with more than eight characters, only the first eight characters of the linkset name can be specified in this procedure.

3.7 Changing a Route

This procedure is used to change the attributes of a route in the database. This procedure uses the EAGLE commands rtrv-ls, rtrv-dstn, rtrv-ctrl-feat, and chg-db. For more information on this procedure, see “Changing a Route” in Database Administration – SS7 User's Guide.

This procedure is used only to change the attributes of a route assigned to a linkset containing an SS7 adjacent point code. If you wish to use the dpci, dpcn, or dpcn24 parameters of the EAGLE chg-rte command, perform the “Changing a Route” procedure in Database Administration – SS7 User's Guide using the SEAS FLOW-THRU command with the EAGLE commands.

On the EAGLE, the linkset name can have a maximum of 10 characters. The SEAS interface supports a linkset name with a maximum of eight characters. Linksets configured through the SEAS interface will have linkset names with a maximum of eight characters. If linksets configured on the EAGLE have more than eight characters and are displayed on the SEAS interface, the SEAS interface truncates the linkset name to the first eight characters.

If the ipgwapc parameter of the linkset assigned to the route is yes, the route is an IPGWx route (a route that contains an IPGWx linkset). The IPGWx route can contain only one linkset. The DPC of an IPGWx route must either be the APC of the IPGWx linkset or the SAPC assigned to the IPGWx linkset. The DPC of the route cannot be changed. The SAPC can be assigned to only one linkset. As a result, the linkset assigned to the IPGWx route cannot be changed. Only the RC value assigned to the route can be changed.
