Hardware and Installation Manual
Introduction
The MPS platform can be configured as an Oracle Communications EAGLE LNP Application Processor
(ELAP) or EAGLE Application Processor Provisioning (EPAP) server. The MPS platform is an
ELAP/EPAP system based on the E5-APP-B card platform.
The MPS provides an interface between the customer provisioning network and the EAGLE 5 ISS
Service Module (SM) cards. As the customer's data is updated, the MPS stores the data and updates
the SM 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, contact your
The LSMS uses a NAS to backup system and application logs, as well as databases. The E5-APP-B
NAS has a two-drive storage in RAID configuration to save the LSMS logs and database. The NAS is
initially configured through the primary LSMS using tty serial terminal.
Network Overview
ELAP and EPAP provide network connections to allow interaction with SMs, other MPS Servers,
and the remote provisioning system. There are four network connections.

Interconnect Table
All networks, except the provisioning network, use internal connections in the MPS. Only the
provisioning network connects to the customer's network. 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 SM Network uses the Ethernet interface that connects to the primary network port on
all SM cards. This network has sufficient capacity to support up to 32 SMs. The primary port on
all SM cards runs at 100BaseT.
The backup SM Network uses the Ethernet interface that connects to the backup network port on
all SM cards. This network has sufficient capacity to support up to 32 SMs. The backup port on all
SM cards runs at 100BaseT.
The Synchronization Network uses the Ethernet interface that is on private LAN segment. This
interface provides direct connectivity between MPS A and MPS B.
