- The parameter for the functional block (FCTBLK) can be freely
assigned. It may not, however, remain unassigned.
- A completed (configured) functional block may be assigned to one
or more boards.
- The parameter for the boards to be used (BRDBCHL) determines
how many B channels are available to the board.
-
If the value
BCHAN60&BCHAN120 is set, an STMI
(1) with 60 or 120 B channels can be used.
This value is also useful if a small STMI with 60 B channels becomes
defective. This can then be replaced with a large STMI with 120 B channels.
It is not possible to replace a large STMI with a small one.
- Parameter UNITS
- 1 unit corresponds to 10 B channels
- If the number of units (UNITS) is not specified for the configuration,
10 B channels (UNITS=1) are configured for each circuit.
- Up to three units can be specified for each circuit.
- The total number of B channels for the function is calculated by
multiplying the number of circuits (LINECNT) by the number of
B channels in a unit (UNITS). Example: LINECNT=4, UNITS=3. 4
multiplied by 3 multiplied by 10 equals 120 B channels.
- If an IPDA function (HG3570) is to be configured for a multiple feature
configuration, this must be configured first.
- For IPDA, only the number of B channels (BCHLCNT) must
be specified.
- For IP trunking, the number of circuits (LINECNT) and
the number of units (UNITS) must be specified.
- For HFA and SIP, the number of circuits (LINECNT)
and the number of B channels (BCHLCNT) must be specified.
IMPORTANT:
If reserved HFA or SIP circuits are to be configured,
the B channels designated for this purpose must also be specified here. This
is not necessary for reserved trunk circuits as the assignment is performed
based on the number of units (UNITS).
- For WAML, only the number of units (UNITS) must be specified.
IMPORTANT:
Only one circuit is possible for WAML. This parameter
can be omitted if UNITS=1. It is not possible to configure WAML
on STMIX/STMIY.
- Reserve function
-
Since the board configuration can only be modified by removing the board,
an option has been created that allows users to reserve circuits for
use at a later stage. If this feature is to be used for the functions
HG3530, HG3540 or HG3550, the relevant function must be configured directly
after the actual function (HG3550&HG3550R, for instance). The Reserve
function must always be specified after the actual function (i.e. at
the end).
The combination HG3550&HG3530&HG3550R is not permitted as
this would lead to invalid circuit distribution (Trunk - HFA - Trunk).
It is not possible to configure several Reserve functions on a single
board.
The reserved circuits can be subsequently converted to usable circuits
with
CHANGE-BCSU:TYPE=IPGW,LTU=<LTU>,SLOT=<slot>,CHNGRSLN=<number>;
/*<number>: Number of circuits that should be converted to usable
circuits.
IMPORTANT:
Now you must reset the board. RESET-BSSU:ADDRTYPE=PEN,LTU=<ltu>,SLOT=<slot>;
- The function can only be configured as a single feature.
- Eleven single-feature standard profiles are configured in the database
(see AMO description, AMO BFDAT).
- You can configure a functional block
with
CHANGE-BFDAT:CONFIG=OK,FCTBLK=<number>,ANSW=YES;
You
can check the status with
DISPLAY-BFDAT:FCTBLK=<number>;
If the
configuration of the functional block is complete STATUS=OK is
displayed.
If a configuration error is detected when the block
configuration is complete, the functional block must be deleted
(DELETE-BFDAT:FCTBLK=<number>,ANSW=YES;) and
reconfigured.
If the configuration of a functional block
is not complete STATUS=CONT is displayed. The functional block may
not be assigned to a board. This is refused by the AMO BCSU with the Fault
message F89.
F89: THE SPECIFIED FUNCTION BLOCK IS NOT YET FULLY
CONFIGURED:
PLEASE COMPLETE THE CONFIGURATION FIRST WITH THE AMO
BFDAT.
