Activating the Large MSU Support for IP Signaling Feature

This procedure is used to enable and turn on the Large MSU Support for IP Signaling feature using
the feature's part number and a feature access key.
The feature access key for the Large MSU Support for IP Signaling feature is based on the feature's
part number and the serial number of the EAGLE 5 ISS, making the feature access key site-specific.
The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the controlled feature by inputting the controlled feature's
access key and the controlled feature's part number with these parameters:
:fak – The feature access key provided by Tekelec. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric
characters and is not case sensitive.
:partnum – The Tekelec-issued part number of the Large MSU Support for IP Signaling feature,
893018401.
The enable-ctrl-feat command requires that the database contain a valid serial number for the
EAGLE 5 ISS, and that this serial number is locked. This can be verified with the rtrv-serial-num
command. The EAGLE 5 ISS is shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number
is not locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the EAGLE 5 ISS is
on-site, by using the ent-serial-num command. The ent-serial-num command uses these
parameters.
:serial – The serial number assigned to the EAGLE 5 ISS. The serial number is not case sensitive.
:lock – Specifies whether or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value, yes,
which locks the serial number. Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.
Note: To enter and lock the EAGLE 5 ISS's serial number, the ent-serial-num command must be
entered twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the serial parameter, then
again with the serial and the lock=yes parameters to lock the serial number. You should verify
that the serial number in the database is correct before locking the serial number. The serial number
can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).
This feature cannot be temporarily enabled (with the temporary feature access key).
Once this feature has been enabled, the feature must be turned on with the chg-ctrl-feat command.
The chg-ctrl-feat command uses these parameters:
:partnum – The Tekelec-issued part number of the Large MSU Support for IP Signaling feature,
893018401.
:status=on – used to turn the Large MSU Support for IP Signaling feature on.
Once the Large MSU Support for IP Signaling feature has been turned on, it be can be turned off. For

The status of the features in the EAGLE 5 ISS is shown with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.
The Large MSU Support for IP Signaling feature allows the EAGLE 5 ISS to process messages with a
service indicator value of 6 to 15 and with a service information field (SIF) that is larger than 272 bytes.
The large messages are processed only on single-slot EDCMs and E5-ENET cards. There are certain
software components that if enabled or provisioned, that will not process large messages even if the
