5.30. Satellite Paths Limiting 
With this feature, it is possible to limit the number of satellite
paths involved in a connection. The feature was introduced in order to
ensure speech quality through adherence to the runtime requirements.
The SATELLITE COUNTER introduced for this feature counts the number
of satellite paths passed through. In those nodes in which a trunk group
to a satellite is to be seized (in the o/g direction) a check is carried
out to establish whether the threshold value has already been reached
for this connection. The currently active counter, referred to in the
connection setup message, is compared with the threshold value for the
o/g trunk group. The connection is cleared down and an advisory issued
if the counter reading, incremented by one, is higher than the threshold
value; in all other cases the incremented counter reading is indicated
in the message.
INFO:
Unlike the TRANSIT COUNTER check, the SATELLITE COUNTER check is
performed on the o/g side before the path is seized.
The following AMOs affect this feature:
|
AMO COT:
|
Parameter
|
PAR=SATV: COT with check of the number of satellite
paths passed through.
|
|
PAR=/SATV (default): no SATELLITE COUNTER check.
|
||
|
AMO PRODE:
|
Parameter
|
PVCD: Copying the country-specific protocol
tables to the database. The CORNV33 protocol must be supported.
|
|
AMO TDCSU:
|
Parameter
|
PROTVAR: Assigning the CORNV33 protocol to the
digital tie trunk circuit.
|
|
|
Parameter
|
COTNO: Assigning the COT with SATELLITE COUNTER
check to the digital tie trunk circuit. The COT must first be defined
by means of AMO COT (with Parameter SATCOUNT COTPAR=SATV). Not until
then is the parameter SATCOUNT analyzed.
|
|
|
Parameter
|
SATCOUNT=NONE: No satellite connection permitted.
|
|
SATCOUNT=NONE: One satellite connection permitted
|
||
|
SATCOUNT=TWO: Two satellite connections permitted
|
||
|
SATCOUNT=MANY (default): Any number of satellite
connections permitted.
|
Configuration of satellite path limitation
The normal configuration is no limitation. The restriction can be
activated with the aid of the following commands:
- Define COT for SATELLITE COUNTER check
AD-COT:COTNO=10,PAR=SATC;
- Load country-specific protocol for Germany
COPY-PRODE:TYPE=PVCD,PVCDNR=1;
- Parameterize digital circuit so that two satellite paths are admissible
AD-TDCSU:OPT=NEW,....,COTNO=10,PROTVAR=CORNV33,SATCOUNT=TWO;
