Figure 47. Alternate Routing with a set of Prefix Codes
Routes to node 040 are configured in NODENO 010:
- Route with route code 94 with first trunk group and PREFDGT1=9394
- Route with route code 94 with second trunk group and PREFDGT1=9794 (alternate routing
trunk
group)
Station A dials 944711;in NODENO 010 the dialing of 94 leads to DAR=TIE.
A
loop can be formed if, for example, both trunks to NODENO 040 develop a malfunction
or are
overloaded, or if a failure occurs in node 040. An alternate routing trunk group is
then
seized in NODENO 030, in this case via NODENO 050, 060 and 070. all number 9697944711
is
transmitted on the trunk from NODENO 030 to NODENO 050, since the alternate routing
trunk
group (route code=94) is configured with PREFDGT1=969794.
If the message is
received at NODENO 070 (call number = 944711), it is established that the direct trunk
group for route code 94 is unavailable. The alternative trunk group with PREFDGT1=9394
is
seized on the trunk to NODENO 020. The loop, comprising the 5 nodes NODENO 030, 050,
060,
070 and 020, is now closed. All available B channels are seized in turn.
The loop
can be prevented by restricting the permissible connections (AMO KNMAT). In NODENO
050 all
connections from source node NODENO 010 to destination node NODENO 040 are prohibited.
The
configured routes (1st and 2nd trunk groups) can both still be used. Stations connected
to
other nodes (e.g. station C, NODENO 100) can also use the transit route via NODENO
050.
- Example Method 1 - command in NODENO 050:
CHA-KNMAT:LEVEL=0,SNNO=10,DNNO=40,CONN=D;
- Example Method 3- command in NODENO 050:
ADD-KNLCR:SNNO=10,DNNO=40,REDSLCOS=1&&64;
