27.2.1 ADD-BCSU

Assign the desired module type.
The LTU in which the module is to be configured must already be assigned. (AMO UCSU).
Caused by feature IPDA there are two different kind of LTUs from now on. The range for traditional LTUs in HHS (Hicom Host System) are from 1 to HW max. value which depends on the particular platform - and AP shelves (Access Points). The range for these AP shelves starts generally from 17 and goes up to 99.
During the load of a HHS shelf (Shelf Broadcast) no module can be configured in that shelf.
The AMO is canceled, producing an error message in case a configuration is attempted in that state.
Assigning a SIU:
Assigning a SIU requires the actions as follows:
a)
Manually blocking of LTU shelf (AMO USSU)
b)
assigning a SIU
c)
Putting the LTU shelf in service
In "compact" shelfs (C, EC, ECX, cPCI) one SIU board per LTU quarter will be able to be assigned.
This rule will not be checked by AMO. Generally a advisory message about this rule will be printed if a SIU board has to be assigned.
One SIU is not taken into operation during installation. Because of time slot allocation, the SIU is taken into operation by means of a hard restart. To prevent a loss of the preinitialized SIU data in those cases where a hard restart escalates into a RELOAD, the data should be written to the hard disk using AMO UPDAT before initiating the hard restart.
Advisory: If a SIUX board is added as peripheral SIU the parameter FCTID will have to be specified. Via this parameter the right function of the board - as SIU type 2 (MFV), SIU type 3 (MFC), type 4 (TDS), SIU type 5 (ANI) , SIU type 6 (MFS) or SIU Type 7 (Line Testing) - will be selected.
 
Note for SIU type 4:
If such a SIU is added, a TDS port will be configured by the AMO. For the amount of TDS ports (SIU type 4) in the system the following rule exists:
•
Only one TDS port may be konfigured in the whole HHS shelf range (1 - 15). This means, that in this whole range only one SIU type 4 can be configured with AMO BCSU. On some system platforms it is furthermore possible, to configure a central SIU (DSCX/SIUCO) with AMO UCSU. In this case a TDS port will be configured by AMO UCSU for this central SIU. If such a DSCX/SIUCO is configured as central SIU, it is not possible to configure a peripheral SIU type 4.
•
In the AP shelf range (17 - 99) one TDS port may be configured per LTU. This Port will be configured by AMO UCSU, when the NCUI board is added. That means: it is not possible, to configured a SIU type 4 in an AP shelf.
The timeslots, which are usually reservered for SIU boards, can be used by a voice compression (VC) connection. In this case a SIU board can only be assigned if the VC connections have been deactivated by AMO-VOICO first. All affected VC connections will be displayed in a corresponding error message.
Assigning a Ringing/Dialing AC Generator:
Any desired number of ringing AC generator or dialing AC generator can be assigned.
However, only one ringing AC generator and one dialing AC generator may be put into service per backup unit (e.g. platform 600ECX: LTU 1-3, LTU 4-6, etc.)
Advisory: For CC80 shelf the wiring connections on back plan must be connected like described in service manual. If this advisory is ignored the ringing AC generator will be destroyed.
For feature message waiting Thailand the US ringing AC generator is used for all hardware platforms. The OPMODE has to be UN20H85V. If an other OPMODE is specified by user for the US ringing AC generator (Q2468-X) the AMO will overwrite the OPMODE with the right value. If the user specifies an other ringing AC generator for OPMODE UN20H85V the AMO will prompt the right value for part number.
Assigning a DIU (digital interface unit):
A DIUC may only be configured for an LTU-half.
When configuring a DIUC in a compact shelf, it should be borne in mind that the slot immediately next to the DIUC remains free, and that the slot immediately following this free slot will be allocated. The free slot next to the DIUC may be freely-assigned, e.g. to another DIUC. In shelves with old HW the DIUC requires 4 adjacent slots.
When configuring a DIUC64 with the loadware variant 6, the feature "line alarm handling for DIUC-France" is activated.
Assigning BOS, MOS or CVN mode for T1 board (TMDN or DIU2U):
The T1 board (TMDN or DIU2U) can be configured in three different working modes:
•
In work mode BOS the board works similar to the already existing DIUC board.
•
Trunks on this kind of board can be configured by means of AMO TACSU.
•
If certain loadwareparameters are desired for this BOS board, the user has the possibility, to preconfigure a loadware block with AMO LWPAR as desired, and enter the number of this configured loadware block during the board configuration (ADD-BCSU: parameter = LWPAR ). If no value is entered for parameter LWPAR, a default loadware block will be assigned.
•
In work mode MOS mode the board works similar to the already existing DIUS2 board.
•
Circuits on this kind of board can be configured by means of AMO TDCSU.
•
The LW parameter block for MOS boards is assigned during the trunk configuration by means of AMO-TDCSU.
•
In work mode CVN mode (CorNet VN) the board works similar to the already existing TMDN board.
•
Circuits on this kind of board can be configured by means of AMO TDCSU.
•
The LW parameter block for MOS boards is assigned during the trunk configuration by means of AMO-TDCSU.
Assigning an IP gateway (HG3500 board for IPDA, HFA, SIP, WAML usage):
The IP gateway HG3500 can either cover just one or multiple functions at the same time on one single board. Therefore the information which functions should be covered by the configured board has to be defined before the configuration itself starts.
This information is provided via so called function blocks which have been configured by means of AMO-BFDAT as a prerequisit.
The number of assigned b-channels per configured function (Multiple Feature Support - MFS) can be reduced manually as usual via a bunch of parameters per configurable function.
Furthermore a number of trunk circuits respectively a number of b-channels for subscribers can be pre-reserved in the function blocks and assigned to usable trunks/subscribers later when needed. For this function an own parameter is located in the IPGW branch.
A special handling is needed for configuring the IP address because basically it is configured together with the global by means of AMO-CGWB but when the HG3570 function is used, it is needed to confgure it already by means of AMO-BCSU. The address must fit into the LAN segment of SL net table which is configured by means of AMO-SIPCO.
For configuring an IP gateway, the following parameters are used:
•
Parameter FCTBLK:
Number of function block which is a pre-requisit configuration by means of AMO-BFDAT.
•
Parameter IPADDR:
Address from the SL net table. This table must previously have been configured by means of AMO-SIPCO and is only configurable by means of AMO-BCSU if the IPDA function is used.
•
Parameter BCHL3530, BCHLSIP, BCHL3550, BCHLWAML, BCHL3570 (number of b-channels per desired function):
Number of usable b-channels per desired function for each HG3500 board.
The features DMC and/or Signalling & Payload Encryption need to reduce the configured b-channels automatically for some functions to prevent an overload of the board. This calculation is done automatically and is displayed in the configuration output in display table format
Following shelf types require special treatment:
•
For feature IPDA a new shelf type "INCH 19" has been introduced. The HW of this 19" shelf consists of one 19" base box and one 19" expansion box.
The 19" base box allows the configuration of three boards and one NCUI board instead of LTUC (AMO-UCSU). The slot numbers are 1 to 3 for peripheral boards and 4 for the NCUI board. The 19" base box can be considered as left shelf half.
The 19" expansion box allows the configuration of four peripheral boards. The slot numbers are 9 to 12. The 19" expansion box can be considered as right shelf half.
•
Also if the 19" expansion box is not mounted, AMO-BCSU can configure boards in the according slots. The AMO-BCSU considers the 19" base box and 19" expansion box as one shelf unit.
•
It is not possible to configure some special boards (e.g. Ringing AC generators or Dialing AC generators, VCM board) on this 19" shelf. AMO-BCSU will check this against restrictions contained in the UBGDAT.
•
The 19" shelf is only possible for usage in the AP shelf range.
Following slots require special treatment:
•
In compact shelves, slot 19 is usually reserved for configuring an RG, an ACGEN, or a SIU.
Adding signed off PENs for feat. "autoset relocate":
For feat. "autoset relocate" (see also service manual) it is neccessary to prepare PENs (Port equipment numbers) (Circuits on boards) in that way, that added and signed off devices on this PEN would be able to signed on by a key number or by AMO-DSSU.
This will be done in two steps:
•
Adding the board as before
•
Change the PEN with the command CHANGE-BCSU:TYPE=SIGNOFF,... to this state
At a signed off PEN can only devices but no line circuits or switch boards be added !
 
At signing off circuits, a parameter OPS enables the user, to mark circuits on SLMA boards for off premises usage (OPS=YES). If OPS=YES is entered for circuits on other boards than SLMAs, an advisory message will be displayed, that the parameter will be ignored.
 
With the command CHANGE-BCSU:TYPE=RELEASE,... a signed off PEN will be switched to state "free". At this PEN a line cicuit can be added.
Sign off is only valid for following board types:
SLMA, SLMB, STMD, SLMO, SLMQ, SLMS, SLMU, SLMQ16 and WAML2 (=SLMPX)
PENs at a WAML2-board are subordinated a PFS-check (Telecommuting). Only as many PENs can be signed off as the PFS-counter allows, depending on the contracted respectively the already assigned value. If the counter is exceeded this is announced by the AMO producing an error message.
 
At all other boards, the signed off circuits are subordinated a PFS-check too (TEILNEHMER/SUBSCRIBER). In this case, the signed off B-Channels are counted.
For analog boards one signed off circuit represents one B-channel, for digital boards the signed off subscribers on a circuit ( up to 8 sign offs possible ) will be counted as maximal 2 signed off B-channels. If the counter is exceeded this is announced by the AMO producing an error message.
Adding of base stations:
Via branch PERHW a base station for a SLMC board can be assigned. A base station doesn’t have a physical address in the system so it can only be assigned but not deleted.
Special treatments for assigning peripheral boards:
For certain boards the number of circuits, which have to be configured, can be reduced from the UBGDAT value because in a 80CM system the number of available lines is quite low. The parameter CIRCNT will be ignored with a corresponding advisory for all boards with a fixed number of circuits.
Periheral boards can have more functions like SIUX boards (e.g. WAML, STMA, SLMO24). These functions can be specified by parameter FCTID.
The first used line (Begin Line = circuit 0) of the STMA-board is added to the reference clock - table. The REFTA-entry can therefore only be changed in AMO-REFTA.
Only one Unix-pocessor-board (DMP5L) can be assigned for each PBX. Two slots are needed. An exception is the PBC 10 (slot 61) in the 80CMX - base-frame. Due to the physical order only one single slot is used. The DMP5L board may be configured in following LTUs (depending on the HICOM type):
 
SYSTEM
PERMITTED LTU
600ECX
1, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12
600ECS
1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13
80CMX
1, 2
80CMX-DSC
1, 2
80CXE
1, 2
NOTE:
for HICOM600:
Because the AMO can not distinguish between platform 600ECX and 600ECS the possible user input for parameter LTU are values between 1 and 15. The systemadministrator must ensure that, depending on the HW type, the DMP5L will be configured only in the LTUs described above.
 
If a 80CMX-DSC is used with the small version power supply (PSDSC), only 4 boards can be configured in LTU 1. The AMO can not check, if the configuration was done with a strong version power supply (PSAFE) and a small power supply is used during the full action. This case can lead up to destruction of the switch.
Feature "Wireless Server":
If the Feature "Wireless Server" is activated, adding of boards is limited to:
 
Boardtype
Configurable amount
SLMA
1
DIUS2
2
STMD
2
SLMC
2
WAML
1
CDG
2
The attempt, to configure other boards than described above, will be rejected with an error message.
If the amount of configureable boards of a certain type is already reached and the user tries to add such a board, the ADD-command will be rejected with an error-message.
