  • 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.
