C ATM Signaling Link Configuration

Appendix C, ATM Signaling Link Configuration, contains general information about the ATM high-speed signaling links and how to provision them.

C.1 Introduction

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a transport mechanism that uses virtual connections for transporting information across the network. The ATM layer uses the VPI and VCI fields to define multiple Virtual Channel Connections (VCC). Within each VCC, the PTI field is used to distinguish one type of traffic from another. A true ATM switch can support multiple VPI/VCI combinations. The EAGLE supports only a single VPI/VCI combination.

ATM is a specific packet-oriented transfer mode that uses an asynchronous time division multiplexing technique to multiplex information flow in fixed blocks, called cells. ATM replaces MTP-1 (Signaling Data Link Functions) and MTP-2 (Signaling Link Functions) in the SS7 protocol stack.

Signaling data link functions (MTP-1) are provided by an appropriate physical layer in combination with the ATM layer, signaling link functions (MTP-2) are provided by the Signaling ATM Adaptation Layer (SAAL), and the signaling network functions are provided by MTP level 3. Figure C-1 illustrates the high-speed link protocol model for CCS NEs.

Figure C-1 High-Speed Link Protocol Model for CCS Network Elements

img/c_introduction_atm_slk_config_dbadmin_ss7-fig1.jpg

Figure C-2 illustrates some slight differences between the SAAL and ATM layers and the actual protocol stack used in the Oracle implementation. These differences are as a result of 3 reasons:

  • The AATM hardware provides AAL5CP protocol support (primarily segmentation and reassembly of User Data PDUs), thus providing the AAL5CP functionality in hardware not software. The AATM hardware also provides CRC10 support for OAM F5 ATM cell flows.

  • The ATM driver is not a defined block in the protocol model, but is needed in the Oracle implementation to control and interface with the AATM hardware. The ATM driver provides the software interface to the hardware AAL5CP functionality. The ATM driver also provides the ATMM (ATM Layer Management) functions that are supported in the EAGLE.

  • As a part of providing ATM (MTP-level 2 equivalent) functionality into the existing EAGLE software (based on MTP-3 and MTP- 2, not MTP-3 and SAAL), some of the interfaces to and from MTP level 3 will be to and from MAAL (rather than SSCF handling all MTP-3 interaction).

The EAGLE implements an ANSI ATM high-speed signaling link, transmitting at a rate of 1.544 Mbps, and an E1 ATM high-speed signaling link, transmitting at a rate of 2.048 Mbps. Most of the ANSI and E1 ATM implementations are the same, but there are a few differences. The descriptions in this appendix apply to both implementations. Any differences between ANSI and E1 ATM are noted.

Figure C-2 ATM High-Speed Signaling Link Protocol Stack vs. Oracle Implementation in the EAGLE

img/tekelec_atm_hsl_protocol_stack.jpg

Another way of viewing the high-speed signaling link implementation is to consider the frame formats of the data that is relevant at the various protocol stack layers. Figure C-3 illustrates the differences between the frame formats for high-speed signaling link layers versus the frame formats for traditional (MTP-2 & MTP-1) low-speed signaling link layers.

Figure C-3 Frame Formats for High-Speed and Low-Speed Signaling Link Protocol Stacks

img/hsl-lsl_protocol_stacks.jpg

Based on Figure C-3, the following conclusions can be made regarding the ATM traffic and how ATM is used to carry MTP3 data:

  • The ATM layer uses the VPI and VCI fields to define multiple Virtual Channel Connections (VCC). Within each VCC, the PTI field is used to distinguish 1 type of traffic from another. A true ATM switch can support multiple VPI/VCI combinations. The EAGLE high-speed signaling link implementation needs to support only a single VPI/VCI combination.

  • The ATM stack contains built in fields that are used to check the integrity of the data that is received across the T1 connection. The ATM cell HEC field and the AAL5CP CRC-32 fields are used for data integrity.

  • MTP3 data (or MSUs) is transferred as User Data at the ATM cell level. A single MSU will require 1 or more ATM cells to transfer that MSU.

  • A significant amount of ATM protocol overhead is involved in transferring MSUs. The overhead includes:

    • ATM cell headers

    • AAL5CP layer pad bytes and trailer

    • SSCOP layer pad bytes and trailer

  • In addition to transferring MSUs, the ATM stack is capable of transferring

    • SSCOP Peer to Peer Messages - these are used primarily for connection setup and tear down and the acknowledgment of transferred data

    • SSCF Peer to Peer Messages - these are used primarily for high-speed signaling link alignment and proving

ATM Protocol Encapsulation

Two main types of data are delivered using ATM: SDUs and OAM cells. SDUs provide peer-to-peer information and user data (MSUs). OAM cells are used for operations and maintenance of the ATM connection. Figure C-4 provides the data encapsulation through the ATM stack. MTP3 is a user of SSCF and passes all PDUs directly to it.

Figure C-4 ATM Protocol Encapsulation

img/c_introduction_atm_slk_config_dbadmin_ss7-fig4.jpg

Payload Scrambling

Payload scrambling uses the x43+1 scrambling function.

Idle Cells

Idle cells uses the following 5-byte header format:

0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x52.

The content of the information field shall be 0x6A repeated 48 times.

Since idle cells are transmitted on VPI=0, VCI=0, they are immediately discarded by the receiving end.

C.2 Overview of the ATM High-Speed Signaling Link LIM Operation

To other cards in the EAGLE , the ANSI ATM and E1 ATM high-speed signaling link cards look and operate similar to any other LIMs (with the exception of subtle differences related to load balancing for SCCP traffic), but has the potential for increased data throughput with respect to traditional EAGLE LIMs.

The ANSI and E1 ATM high-speed signaling link cards can perform gateway screening, copy and redirect, conversion and any of the other EAGLE features that any other LIM can perform (with the exception of link fault sectionalization).

A functional block diagram of the ATM high-speed signaling link is shown in Figure C-5.

E1 Overview

This section provides an overview of E1, its protocol and characteristics.

Frame Structure

E1 is a 2.048 Mbps interface. It has a frame structure of 256 bits that is repeated at a rate of 8 KHz. The 256-bit frame is broken into 32 eight-bit time timeslots, numbered 0 to 31, as shown in Figure C-6. Timeslots can also be referred to as channels.

Figure C-6 E1 Frame Structure

img/c_overview_atm_high_speed_slk_lim_operation_atm_slk_config_dbadmin_ss7-fig2.jpg

Timeslot 0

Timeslot 0 is used for frame alignment and CRC functions. Alternating frames contain the Frame Alignment Signal (FAS), X0011011, where X is supplied from the International Usage Spare Bit information (Si). Frames without the FAS carry Si, Alarm, and Sn information. Bit 1 is set to 1 to prevent accidental emulation of the FAS.

Si is reserved for international usage. CRC-4 specified below is one specific use. If no use is specified, Si should be set to 1. Sn is a 5-bit field (value 0 – 31). ‘A’ is an alarm bit. If set, it indicates a remote alarm indication.

CRC-4

A CRC-4 multi-frame structure is shown in Figure C-7. CRC-4 uses timeslot 0 primarily to aid in frame alignment validation but can be used to monitor error performance as well. A CRC multi-frame consists of timeslot 0 information from 16 consecutive frames. Each CRC-4 multi-frame is divided into 2 eight-frame sub-multi-frames (SMF).

Bit 1 is used to carry 3 different pieces of information:

  • A multi-frame alignment word is a repeating 6-bit code (001011) that is located in frames 1,3,5,7,9, and 11.
  • A 4-bit CRC code word (C1, C2, C3, C4), which is a data check on the previous 8 E1 frames. The check covers the data for all 32 timeslots. (8 frames * 256 bits/frame = 2048 bits) Each SMF has its own code word. The code word for SMF I is in frames 0, 2, 4 and 6. The code word for SMF II is in frames 8, 10, 12, and 14.
  • E (CRC-4 Error indication) bits, present in frames 13 and 15.

The Alarm Indication Signal is received in Channel 0, Bit 3 of the non-alignment frame. If this bit is set, it indicates a Remote Alarm Indication. As with the ANSI ATM, this condition is ignored.

Bits 2 through 8 follow the standard E1 frame structure.

If CRC-4 in on, the provisioned Si information is not used. Instead, bit 0 is used for CRC4 information, CRC4 error reporting, and for multiframe alignment (see Figure C-7).

Figure C-7 CRC-4 Multiframe Structure

ATM Mapping into E1

Data channels 1 – 15 and 17 - 31 carries the data for a single ATM channel, as shown in Figure C-8. Note that the ATM cell size does not map directly over the E1 frame format, so the ATM cell can start in any data channel. The data is octet-aligned.

Figure C-8 ATM Cell Mapping into E1 Frames

ATM Driver

The ATM driver is a software module, residing as part of the ATMANSI or ATMITU applications, that provides the code required to interface between the AATM hardware and the SSCOP layer and ATM Layer Management interfaces. The primary functions of the driver include:

  • initialization and control of the AATM hardware
  • interface between AATM hardware signals and data structures and the relevant messages/data to/from the SSCOP and ATM Layer Management layers
  • provide the DIMM buffer management interface required for the AATM hardware for user data received and transmitted (that is, provide free receive buffer lists for the AATM hardware after grabbing buffers from DIMM mgmt, provide information detailing where to transmit user data from, etc.)
  • some of the functions listed above in the AATM hardware section (such as providing separate ‘receive channels’ for OAM F5 vs. user data cells to/from higher levels) may actually be performed in this layer based on the actual ATM hardware solution selected
  • the only type of AAL service needed is for AAL Type 5 (AAL5)
  • the AATM hardware and ATM driver together make up the common part of the SAAL layer, also known as the Common Part Convergence Sublayer (CPCS) or AAL5CP, when the AAL type in question is AAL5.

E1 ATM Driver

The E1 ATM driver is a software module that provides the interface between the E1 ATM hardware, the SSCOP layer, and ATM Layer Management Module. The E1 ATM driver exists only in the ATMITU application. The basic structure is based upon the ANSI ATM driver present in the ATMANSI application. The primary changes to the existing ANSI ATM driver include:

  • initialization and control of the new E1 ATM appliqué.
  • remove T1 support of 4 Kbps data link (BOCs, including performance reports and T1 loopback tests)
  • verify correct E1 ATM appliqué is installed and reboot if not

SSCOP

The primary task of the SSCOP (Service Specific Connection Oriented Protocol) is to provide assured data delivery between AAL connection endpoints. The SSCOP is 1 of 2 parts (the other being the SSCF) of the Service Specific part of the SAAL layer (also known as the SSCS, the Service Specific Convergence Sublayer of the SAAL). The other part of the SAAL Layer is the CPCS (which was just mentioned in the ATM driver). Breaking the SSCS into 2 sublayers allows a common connection oriented protocol with error recovery (the SSCOP) to provide a generic reliable data transfer service for different AAL interfaces defined by different SSCF layers. The primary functions of the SSCOP layer include:

  • transfer of user data with sequence integrity
  • error correction by selective retransmission
  • flow control
  • connection control
  • error reporting to layer management
  • connection maintenance in the prolonged absence of data transfer
  • local data retrieval by the user of the SSCOP
  • error detection of protocol control information
  • status reporting

SSCF

The primary task of the SSCF (Service Specific Coordination Function) is to map the services provided by the lower layers of the SAAL to the needs of a specific higher layer user. For the ATM high-speed signaling link, the higher layer user is the MTP-3 protocol.

  • maps signals/primitives from MTP-3 (SSCF user) to SSCOP, and vice versa.
  • performs local retrieve function, required by the changeover order.
  • flow control on transmit direction (SSCF notifies the user of congestion levels)
  • maintains and controls the link status
  • generates necessary reports to ATM Layer Management (primarily the cause for the release of the SSCOP connection)
  • implements some SSCF to SSCF, peer to peer messages primarily related to connection establishment and release
  • controls local and remote processor outage and recovery
  • controls the alignment procedure

For an E1 ATM high-speed signaling link, the link proving default values are significantly different compared to an ANSI ATM high-speed signaling link. Table C-1 illustrates the different link proving values.

The time required for normal ANSI proving is approximately 60 seconds (925 sec/pdu * 64552 PDUs = 60 seconds). This time is greater than TmrT2 value for an E1 ATM high-speed signaling link (30 seconds), so a link with E1 ATM defaults would have gone out of service before a link with ANSI ATM defaults finishes proving. Thus, great care must be taken to ensure that compatible proving numbers are assigned to a signaling link.

ATM and SAAL Layer Management Interfaces

The primary task of the ATM and SAAL layer management layers is to map requests and indications between the system management for the EAGLE and the individual ATM, AAL5CP, SSCOP, and SSCF layers. This functionality is actually achieved using two management modules, which both interface to the system management.

ATM Layer Management

ATM layer management is achieved with the ATMM (ATM layer management module). The ATMM provides a supporting role for system management functions which include fault, performance, configuration, security and resource management functions. It is the job of the system management to coordinate with different layers locally to perform all tasks associated with these functions. The ATMM entity uses two types of interactions with the ATM entity to perform its functions. The first type of interaction is for the exchange of info between the ATM and ATMM entity. The second type of interaction is for peer to peer communication between ATMM entities (between the two nodes on both ends of the high-speed signaling link). This second interaction is achieved by sending and receiving and processing OAM F5 cells in the ATM high-speed signaling link implementation. The primary functions provided by the ATMM for an ANSI ATM high-speed signaling link include:

  • OAM F5 fault management: includes alarm surveillance, loopback using OAM cells, and continuity check
  • OAM F5 performance management: includes activation and deactivation of performance monitoring, forward and backward monitoring and reporting of performance to system management.

    Note:

    The general ATMM layer is capable of performing performance management functionality. The ATMM layer implemented by ATM high-speed signaling link does not support this capability.

The primary functions provided by the ATMM for an E1 ATM high-speed signaling link include only OAM F5 fault management: loopback by OAM cells. All other forms of OAM F5 management and OAM F5 performance management are not supported.

SAAL Layer Management

The SAAL layer management includes interfaces to and from AAL5CP, SSCOP, SSCF, and system management. SAAL layer management supports the following functions:

  • error processing for these layers
  • error monitoring for in-service links
  • detection of excessive time with no credit
  • detection of closely spaced SSCOP recoveries
  • measurements
  • duration of presence in the in-service state
  • signaling link failures
  • signaling link restoration
  • handling of processor outage conditions
  • management of signaling link proving

C.3 ATM High-Speed Signaling Link Testing Capability

Local Loopback Support

There are five link testing capabilities for an ATM high-speed signaling link. All five of these tests can be used for an ANSI ATM high-speed signaling link; three of these tests can be used for an E1 ATM high-speed signaling link. Table C-2 gives a description of each test and shows which the type of ATM high-speed signaling link each test can be used. Figure C-9 and Figure C-10 show diagrams of each test.

Figure C-10 E1 ATM High-Speed Signaling Link Loopback Support

img/c_atm_high_speed_slk_test_capability_atm_slk_config_dbadmin_ss7-fig2.jpg

Remote Loopback Support

The LIM containing the ATM high-speed signaling link must provide remote loopback support so that the EAGLE 5 ISS can act as the far end STP as shown in Figure C-9 or Figure C-10. The support provided for ATM high-speed signaling link cards is identical to low-speed signaling link cards by providing the same initialization and detection capabilities.

  • initialization - The MTP-3 layer, independent of hardware interface, allows remote loopbacks when the link is deactivated. Upon receiving a bit-oriented code for a line or payload loopback, the ATM high-speed signaling link reprograms the AATM hardware if MTP-3 has determined a remote loopback is allowed.
  • detection - Every 500 ms, the hardware is read to determine if remote loopback is in progress and the maintenance block is updated. This generates a UAM to the local node. For DS1 links, an AATM hardware register is read to determine if the T1 layer is currently configured for remote loopback.

Link Status Logging Capability

The Enhanced Link Diagnostics capability stores link status information. The link status information is divided into 2 categories: service data and alignment data. Currently, each logging routine can store up to 69 events, all of which can be displayed using the rept-stat-slk command. The service data and alignment data categories are described in the following sections.

Service Data Category

Service events and their timestamps are buffered during transitions between the In-Service/Data Transfer Ready states and all other states. This buffer contains a history of the link failure reasons (as seen from Level 2’s point of view) and the subsequent realignments. Each entry in the buffer is either the link failure reason and time, or the time the link came back in service. Table C-3 provides a list of all high-speed signaling link failure reasons, however, not all of these failures will show up in the service data. Several types of failure that are recognized by Level 3 (like Changeover Order Received or Failed SLT) are mapped to a Stop Commanded event at Level 2. If the history indicates the link did not realign after the failure, the alignment data buffer shows the reason the link was unable to be realigned.

The service data history contains only the high-speed signaling link failure reason as seen by Level 2. As highlighted above, there actual failure reason can be hidden from the Level 2 Service Data if it is an event that is detected by level 3. For example, there are many reasons why Level 3 sends a Stop command to Level 2, such as link deactivated by user, changeover order received, false link congestion, etc. Therefore, the service data should only be used as a guide in determining a link failure.

Display of Buffered Data

The buffered data are displayed using the rept-stat-slk command. All events are buffered with the day and time of the event. The buffered timestamp is displayed in a day of year and time of day format (YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.sss). The time of day and day of year are passed to the LIM card when polling for the maintenance block. A timer on the LIM card, with a 5 millisecond granularity, provides the millisecond portion of the time displayed. The user has the ability to request either alignment data, service data or both be displayed. A maximum of 69 service and/or alignment events are displayed. However, the user has the ability to display only the last 10 alignment events. See the Commands Manual for a description of the rept-stat-slk command.

C.4 Large MSUs

As shown in Figure C-3, a general purpose implementation of the ATM high-speed signaling link protocol stack would allow for large MSUs to be transferred across an ANSI or E1 ATM high-speed signaling link. The SSCOP layer can handle user data from SSCF that is up to 4096 bytes long. Since the SSCF layer does not add a trailer to MTP3 data, the ATM protocol stack is able to transfer MTP3 data packets up to 4096 bytes. When the SSCOP trailer is added, 4100 bytes of user data are handed to the AAL5CP layer.

These MSU sizes are much larger than the MTP3 data size currently supported by a low-speed signaling link. Currently, the largest MSU transferred on a low-speed signaling link is 279 bytes (2 flag bytes, 3 level 2 header bytes, 2 FCS bytes, and 272 bytes of MTP3 data). A large MSU is any MSU that contains 273 to 4096 bytes of MTP data.

The ATM high-speed signaling link (ANSI or E1) does not support large MSUs. Either UIM 1172 or 1173 is generated when a large MSU is received. See the UIMs section for more information on these UIMs.

C.5 Unsolicited Messages

There are two types of unsolicited messages that are generated, alarm messages (UAMs) and information messages (UIMs).

Link Unavailability UAMs

The signaling link UAM format includes a CLASS output. This identifies the corresponding link as either an MTP2 or SAAL link class (the SAAL link class is used for high-speed signaling links).

UIMs

There are two types UIMs generated with ATM high-speed signaling links, UIMs for large MSUs and UIMs for the loopback tests. UIMs 1172 and 1173 are generated for MTP MSUs (1172) and SCCP MSUs (1173).

The large MSUs are discarded at the receiving ATM high-speed signaling link rather than the outbound link.

UIM 1172 Example 


0018.1172    CARD 1103    INFO  REPT-OVSZMSG: MTP MSU too large to route.

C.6 ATM High-Speed Signaling Link Configuration

An ATM high-speed signaling link is configured using these commands:

  • ent-card - Used to add the either the ANSIATM or E1ATMLIMs
  • ent-slk - Used to add the signaling link
  • chg-atm-lps - Used to change the ATM signaling link parameters. The ATM signaling link parameters control the behavior of the ATM high-speed signaling links. These parameters are not configured with the ent-slk command and are assigned default values when the ATM high-speed signaling link is added to the database.

To configure an ATM high-speed signaling link, perform these procedures:

Procedures for configuring the linksets and routes, and for removing SS7 signaling links (which includes ATM high-speed signaling links), are contained in SS7 Configuration. The procedure for removing the LIM containing the ATM high-speed signaling link is contained in the Database Administration Manual - System Management. These procedures contain no information that is specific to ATM high-speed signaling links, therefore, are not included in this appendix.

The procedures contained in this appendix use a variety of commands. If more information on these commands is needed, go to the Commands Manual to find the required information.

C.7 Adding an ATM High-Speed LIM

This procedure is used to add an ATM high-speed LIM to the database using the ent-card command.

The ent-card command uses these parameters.

:loc – The location of the card being added to the database.

:type – The type of card being added to the database.

:appl – The application software that is assigned to the card.

:force – If the global title translation feature is on, the force=yes parameter allows the LIM to be added to the database even if the current SCCP transactions-per-second threshold is unable to support the additional SCCP transaction-per-second capacity created by adding the LIM. This parameter is obsolete and is no longer used.

Note:

As of Release 46.6, E5-ATM refers to the E5-ATM-B (P/N 870-2972-xx) card.

Table C-9 shows the valid card type (type) and card application (appl) combinations for the ATM high-speed LIMs being added to the database and the names and part numbers of the hardware. This can be used to verify that the ATM high-speed LIM being added to the database matches the card physically installed in the EAGLE. See the Determining the Number of High-Speed and Low-Speed Signaling Links section for information on the maximum number of ATM high-speed LIMs that can be configured in the database.

Table C-9 ATM High-Speed LIM Card Type and Card Application Combinations

Card Name Part Number Card Type (:type) Application Type (:appl)
E5-ATM-B 870-2972-01 limatm atmansi
lime1tam atmitu

The shelf to which the card is to be added, must already be in the database. This can be verified with the rtrv-shlf command. If the shelf is not in the database, go to the Adding a Shelf procedure in the Database Administration - System Management User's Guide and add the shelf.

The examples in this procedure are used to add the cards shown in Table C-10 to the database.

Table C-10 Example Card Configuration

Card Type Application Card Location
limatm (E5-ATM) atmansi 2207
lime1atm (E5-ATM) atmitu 2205

Note:

If an E5-ATM is being added as the ATM high-speed LIM, verify the temperature alarm threshold settings for the E5-ATM card by performing the Changing the High-Capacity Card Temperature Alarm Thresholds procedure.
  1. Display the cards in the database using the rtrv-card command.

C.8 Changing the Three Links per E5-ATM-B Card Quantity

This procedure is used to increase the number of E5-ATM-Bs that can contain three signaling links. There is maximum of 250 E5-ATM-Bs that can contain three signaling links. The EAGLE contains a maximum of 250 card slots for signaling links.

Note:

As of Release 46.6, E5-ATM refers to the E5-ATM-B (P/N 870-2972-xx) card.

The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the Three Links per E5-ATM Card quantity, in groups of 5 E5-ATMs, by specifying the part number for the 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity and the Three Links per E5-ATM Card quantity’s feature access key with these parameters:

:fak – The feature access key supplied by Oracle. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive. If you do not have the feature access key for the Three Links per E5-ATM Card quantity you wish to enable, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number for the Three Links per E5-ATM Card quantity shown in Table C-11.

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires a valid serial number for the EAGLE to be configured in the database, 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, by using 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, the ent-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 proxy point code quantity is enabled with the enable-ctrl-feat command, the proxy point code is also turned on. The chg-ctrl-feat command is not necessary to turn on the proxy point code quantity.

A 3 Links per E5-ATM quantity cannot be enabled for the first time if there are any ATM high-speed signaling links in the database whose VCI value is greater than 16383. These signaling links must be removed by performing the Removing an SS7 Signaling Link procedure. These signaling links can be added back to the database by performing the Adding an ATM High-Speed Signaling Link procedure. The VCI value for these signaling links must be 16383 or less. If a 3 Links per E5-ATM quantity is being increased from a currently enabled 3 Links per E5-ATM quantity, then there are no ATM high-speed signaling links in the database whose VCI value is greater than 16383.

  1. Display the features that are enabled by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

    The following is an example of the possible output. 

    
rlghncxa03w 10-12-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 43.0.0

    If a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity is enabled, the entry 3 Links per E5-ATM Card is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output.

    If a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output and that quantity is 250, the new quantity cannot be enabled. This is the maximum number of E5-ATMs that can contain 3 signaling links.

    If a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output and that quantity is less than 250, continue the procedure with Oracle.

    If a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity is not shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output, continue the procedure with 2.

    If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in 1 shows any controlled features, continue the procedure with 6. If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIM SLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, 2 through 5 must be performed.

  2. Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command.

    This is an example of the possible output. 

    
rlghncxa03w 10-12-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 43.0.0
System serial number = <EAGLE serial number>

System serial number is not locked.

    Note:

    If the serial number is correct and locked, continue the procedure with6. If the serial number is correct but not locked, continue the procedure with5. If the serial number is not correct, but is locked, a 3 Links per E5-ATM quantity cannot be enabled and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed. Contact the Customer Care Center to get an incorrect and locked serial number changed. Refer to My Oracle Support (MOS) for the contact information. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).
  3. Enter the correct serial number into the database using the ent-serial-num command with the serial parameter.

    For this example, enter this command.

C.9 Adding an ATM High-Speed Signaling Link

This procedure is used to add an ANSI ATM or E1 ATM high-speed signaling link to the database using the ent-slk command. The ent-slk command uses these parameters.

:loc – The card location of the LIM that the ATM high-speed signaling link will be assigned to. The cards specified by this parameter are ATM high-speed LIMs.

:link – The signaling link on the card specified in the loc parameter.

:lsn – The name of the linkset that will contain the signaling link.

:slc – The signaling link code. The SLC must be unique within the linkset. It must be the same at both the EAGLE location and the distant node.

:bps – The transmission rate for the link in bits per second.

:lpset – link parameter set identifier – the ATM signaling parameter set. An ATM signaling link can be assigned to any of 30 parameter sets.

:atmtsel – ATM timing selector – The source of the timing for the ATM signaling link, internal, line, or external. Internal timing for an ANSI ATM signaling link is derived from an internal clock source operating at 1.544 MHz ± 50 ppm. For an E1 ATM signaling link, internal timing is derived from an internal clock source operating at 2.048 MHz ± 50 ppm. Line timing is derived from its received data stream, if present. External timing is derived from a clock source external to the EAGLE. Line timing is the default value for this parameter.

Caution:

The atmtsel=internal parameter is only supported for lab use and not for live traffic.

Note:

If the atmtsel=external parameter is specified with the ent-slk command, make sure that the correct TDM (P/N 870-0774-10 or later) is installed in card slots 1114 and 1116. Make sure that the external master clock source is connected to the EAGLE.

Note:

To use an external high-speed master clock source other than RS-422, TDMs 870-0774-15 or later must be installed in card locations 1114 and 1116, and the TDM Global Timing Interface options must be configured. For more information, see the Configuring the Options for the TDM Global Timing Interface procedure.

:vci – virtual channel identifier – The identifier of the virtual channel used by the ATM signaling link for virtual channel connections.

:vpi – virtual path identifier – The identifier of the virtual path used by the ATM signaling link for virtual path connections.

:ll – The length of the cable used for the ANSI ATM signaling link. The value of the ll parameter is from 0 to 7, with each number representing a range of cable lengths, shown in Table C-12. The default value for this parameter is 0.

used for external line buildout networks

:e1atmcrc4 – Specifies whether or not CRC4 is enabled on the E1 ATM high-speed signaling link.

:e1atmsi – Specifies the value of the two spare international bits of NFAS data, from 0 to 3 for the E1 ATM high-speed signaling link.

:e1atmsn – Specifies the value of the five spare national bits of NFAS data, from 0 to 31 for the E1 ATM high-speed signaling link.

The ent-slk command contains other optional parameters that can be used to configure a signaling link. These parameters are not shown here because they cannot be used to provision an ATM high-speed signaling link. These parameters are explained in more detail in the Adding an SS7 Signaling Link procedure, or in the ent-slk command description in the Commands Manual.

These items must be configured in the database before an ATM high-speed signaling link can be added:

Adding the ATM high-speed signaling link cannot exceed the total provisioned system TPS shown in the rtrv-tps output. The amount of TPS for an ATM high-speed signaling link is shown in this list.
  • ANSI ATM high-speed signaling link - 1630 TPS
  • ITU ATM high-speed signaling link - 2038 TPS
If adding the ATM high-speed signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, and the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000, perform the "Activating the HIPR2 High Rate Mode" feature in the Database Administration Manual - System Management to enable and turn on the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature. When the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature is enabled and turned on, the maximum total provisioned system TPS is increased to 750,000. If the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 750,000, or the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000 and will not be increased, and adding the ATM high-speed signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the ATM high-speed signaling link cannot be added unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the ATM high-speed signaling link to be added. The available TPS can be reduced by performing one or more of these actions.
  • The IP TPS values of some IPGWx linksets have to be changed.
  • The MAXSLKTPS values of some IPSG linksets (and the RSVDSLKTPS values if necessary) have to be changed.
  • Some ATM high-speed signaling links have to be removed.
  • An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed.

Verify that the link has been physically installed (all cable connections have been made).

To configure the EAGLE to perform circular routing detection test on the signaling links, Configuring Circular Route Detection procedure.

Note:

Circular route detection is not supported in ITU networks.

To provision a EAGLE with more than 1200 signaling links, the EAGLE must have certain levels of hardware installed. See the Requirements for EAGLEs Containing more than 1200 Signaling Links section for more information on these hardware requirements.

The EAGLE can contain a mixture of low-speed, E1, T1, ATM high-speed, and IP signaling links. The Determining the Number of High-Speed and Low-Speed Signaling Links section describes how to determine the quantities of the different types of signaling links the EAGLE can have.

ATM High-Speed Signaling Link Parameter Combinations

Table C-13 shows the parameter combinations that can be specified for ATM high-speed signaling links with the ent-slk command, and the parameters and values that can be used to provision each type of ATM high-speed signaling link.

  3. The values 0 - 4 and 6 - 31 cannot be specified for the vci parameter. These values are reserved.
  4. The port parameter can be used in place of thelink parameter to specify the signaling link on the card.
  5. The link parameter value B can be used only if the ATM high-speed LIM is an E5-ATM card.
  6. The link parameter value A1 can be used only if the ATM high-speed LIM is an E5-ATM card. A 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity must be enabled.
  7. If a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity is enabled, the vci value cannot be greater than 16383.

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

Because the 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 to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rept-stat-slk and rtrv-slk commands can be canceled.

  • Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rept-stat-slk or rtrv-slk commands were entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rept-stat-slk or rtrv-slk commands were entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rept-stat-slk or rtrv-slk commands were entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rept-stat-slk or rtrv-slk commands was entered. To enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx> command, the terminal must allow Security Administration commands to be entered from it and the user must be allowed to enter Security Administration commands. The terminal’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-secu-trm command. The user’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-user or rtrv-secu-user commands.

For more information about the canc-cmd command, go to the Commands Manual.

  1. Display the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have and the number of signaling links that are currently provisioned by entering the rtrv-tbl-capacity command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    Thertrv-tbl-capacity command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by thertrv-tbl-capacity command, refer to thertrv-tbl-capacitycommand description in theCommands Manual.

    If the addition of the new signaling link will exceed the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have (in this example, the maximum number of signaling links is 1200), and the maximum number of signaling links is 2800, this procedure cannot be performed. The EAGLE cannot contain more than 2800 signaling links.

    If the addition of the new signaling link will exceed the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have, and the maximum number of signaling links is less than 2800, perform the Enabling the Large System # Links Controlled Feature procedure to enable the desired quantity of signaling links. After the new quantity of signaling links has been enabled, continue the procedure with 3.

    If the addition of the new signaling link will not exceed the maximum number of signaling links the EAGLE can have, continue the procedure with 3.

  2. Display the current signaling link configuration using the rtrv-slk command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

Command Completed.

    An ANSI ATM high-speed signaling link uses 1630 TPS. An ITU ATM high-speed signaling link uses 2038 TPS. If adding the ATM high-speed signaling link will not exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, continue the procedure with 98.

    If adding the ATM high-speed signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, and the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000, perform the "Activating the HIPR2 High Rate Mode" feature in the Database Administration Manual - System Management to enable and turn on the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature. When the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature is enabled and turned on, the maximum total provisioned system TPS is increased to 750,000. After the HIPR2 High Rate Mode feature has been enabled and turned on, continue the procedure with 98.

    If the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 750,000, or the maximum total provisioned system TPS is 500,000 and will not be increased, and adding the ATM high-speed signaling link will exceed the maximum total provisioned system TPS, the ATM high-speed signaling link cannot be added unless the amount of available TPS is reduced enough to allow the ATM high-speed signaling link to be added. The available TPS can be increased by performing one or more of these actions.
    • The IP TPS values of some IPGWx linksets have to be changed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 6.
    • The MAXSLKTPS values of some IPSG linksets (and the RSVDSLKTPS values if necessary) have to be changed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 6.
    • Some ATM high-speed signaling links have to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 4.
    • An IPLIMx card that contains signaling links has to be removed. To perform this action, continue the procedure with 5.

    Note:

    If none of these actions are performed, the ATM high-speed signaling link cannot be added and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed.

    If IPLIMx cards containing signaling links are shown in the rtrv-slk output, perform the " Removing an IPLIMx Card" procedure in the Database Administration Manual - IP7 Secure Gateway to remove an IPLIMx card and its associated signaling links.

    If IPLIMx cards containing signaling links are not displayed in the rtrv-slk output, perform one or more of these actions to increase the available TPS.

    Note:

    If one or more of these actions are not performed to increase the available TPS and the available TPS will not allow the ATM high-speed signaling link to be added, the ATM high-speed signaling link cannot be added and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed.

    To specify the link value A1 for the new signaling link, a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity must be enabled. A 3 Links per E5-STM Card quantity is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output with the entry 3 Links per E5-ATM Card.

    Perform the Changing the Three Links per E5-ATM-B Card Quantity procedure to enable a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity, if a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity is not enabled. After the 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity has been enabled, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
    • If 10 was not performed, continue the procedure with 12.
    • If 10 was performed, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
      • If the card's state is OOS-MT-DSBLD, continue the procedure with 15.
      • If the card's state is not OOS-MT-DSBLD, continue the procedure with 13. Before the card's state can be OOS-MT-DSBLD, the state of the signaling links that are assigned to the card must be OOS-MT-DSBLD.
    If a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity is enabled, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
    • If adding the new signaling link will not exceed the enabled quantity, continue the procedure with 12.
    • If adding the new signaling link will exceed the enabled quantity, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
      • If the enabled quantity is 250, the signaling link with the link value A1 cannot be added. The EAGLE can contain a maximum of 250 E5-ATMs that have signaling links with the link value A1. Continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
        • If the E5-ATM contains signaling links with the link values A and B, continue the procedure with 9 to choose another card to add the signaling link to.
        • If the E5-ATM does not contain signaling links with the LINK values A and B, continue the procedure with 15 and add the signaling link to the E5-ATM with the link value A or B (the link value on the E5-ATM that is not assigned to a signaling link).
      • If the enabled quantity is less than 250, perform the Changing the Three Links per E5-ATM-B Card Quantity procedure to enable a 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity. After the 3 Links per E5-ATM Card quantity has been enabled, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
        • If 10 was not performed, continue the procedure with 12.
        • If 10 was performed, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
          • If the card's state is OOS-MT-DSBLD, continue the procedure with 15.
          • If the card's state is not OOS-MT-DSBLD, continue the procedure with 13. Before the card's state can be OOS-MT-DSBLD, the state of the signaling links that are assigned to the card must be OOS-MT-DSBLD.

If the action parameter is specified, only the lpset and srclpset parameters can be specified.

For any parameters not specified with the chg-atm-lps command, the values for those parameters are not changed.

The ATM parameter set values applied to ATM high-speed signaling links are displayed with the rtrv-atm-lps and rtrv-atm-prm commands. The values displayed with the rtrv-atm-prm command are not configurable. These values are:

PCR – The maximum or peak cell rate for the VCL (virtual channel link).

DS1 PCR value – 3622

E1 PCR value – 4528

SCR – The average or sustainable cell rate supported on the VCL.

DS1 SCR value – 3622

E1 PCR value – 4528

BT – Burst tolerance. The number of consecutive cells on the VCL permitted on the ATM interface by the enforcement process, given the PCR and the line speed.

Value – 210

CDVT – The amount of cell delay variation, in microseconds, for the VCL in the network ingress direction.

Value – 100

QoS – Quality of service. The performance objectives that must be met by the ATM VCL when it must discard cells during enforcement of the traffic parameters.
