ELAP or EPAP Network Integration
Introduction
The MPS platform can be configured as an EAGLE Local Number Portability (ELAP) or EAGLE
Provisioning Application Processor (EPAP) server. The MPS platform can be a Netra-based ELAP
system or an ELAP/EPAP.system based on the Tekelec 1000 Application Server (T1000 AS) or the
Tekelec 1100 Application Server (T1100 AS).
The MPS provides an interface between the customer provisioning network and the EAGLE 5 ISS
Database Service Module (DSM) cards. As the customer's data is updated, the MPS stores the data
and updates the DSM cards. An MPS is usually co-located with an EAGLE 5 ISS. If you need to
install an MPS at a distance from the EAGLE 5 ISS, contact your
for assistance.
Network Overview
ELAP and EPAP provide network connections to allow interaction with DSMs, other MPS
Servers, and the remote provisioning system. There are four network connections.
Network Connections, Netra
AS
on page 145 illustrate the networks and how they are connected.
All networks, except the provisioning network, use internal connections in the MPS. Only the
provisioning network connects to the customer's network. The Ethernet interfaces are -10/100BaseT
for Netra-based systems and Gigabit for T1100 AS or T1100 AS-based systems. All networks use
TCP/IP and UDP/IP as the transport protocol.
The provisioning network uses the Ethernet interface that typically connects to an external
wide area network (WAN). This interface provides connectivity to the remote MPS system, an
LSMS, or to a customer-provided provisioning system.
The main DSM Network uses the Ethernet interface that connects to the primary network
port on all DSM cards. This network has sufficient capacity to support up to 25 DSMs. The
primary port on all DSM cards runs at 100BaseT.
The backup DSM Network uses the Ethernet interface that connects to the backup network
port on all DSM cards. This network has sufficient capacity to support up to 25 DSMs. The
backup port on all DSM cards runs at 10BaseT.
The
Synchronization Network uses the Ethernet interface that is on private LAN segment.
This interface provides direct connectivity between MPS A and MPS B. IP addresses on this
network are also used to provide remote dial up Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) access (two IP
addresses are reserved for the upper MPS and two IP addresses are reserved for the lower
MPS.). Both systems are configured for PPP access.
