Changing an IPSG M2PA Linkset
This procedure is used to change an IPSG M2PA linkset, a linkset that contains the IPSG value yes
and whose ADAPTER value is m2pa, in the EAGLE 5 ISS using the chg-ls commands with these
parameters.
:lsn – The name of the linkset that will be changed, shown in the rtrv-ls output.
:ipsg – This parameter specifies whether or not the linkset is an IPSG linkset. This parameter has
two values, yes (if the linkset is an IPSG linkset) or no (if the linkset is not an IPSG linkset). For this
procedure, the ipsg parameter value must be yes.
:maxslktps – The maximum number of transactions per second (TPS) for all signaling links that are
assigned to the IPSG M2PA linkset, from 100 to 5,000.
:rsvdslktps – The number of transactions per second (TPS) that is assigned to each IPSG signaling
link that will be in the linkset, from 0 to 5,000. The slktps parameter can be used in place of the
rsvdslktps parameter.
:tpsalmtype – The TPS threshold that will generate alarms. This parameter has two values.
rsvdslktps - The RSVDSLKTPS threshold generates alarms.
maxslktps - The MAXSLKTPS threshold generates alarms.
:adapter - This parameter specifies the adapter layer for the signaling links that will be assigned to
the IPSG M2PA linkset. This parameter has two values, m2pa and m3ua. For an IPSG M2PA linkset,
the adapter parameter value must be m2pa.
:lsusealm – The linkset's TPS alarm threshold, from 10 to 100 percent of the linkset's TPS. When
this threshold is reached, a major alarm (UAM 0115) is generated. When the linkset's TPS falls below
this threshold, UAM 0115 is automatically cleared and UAM 0118 is generated.
:slkusealm – The signaling link TPS alarm threshold, from 10 to 100 percent of the signaling link's
fair share of the linkset's TPS or from 10 to 100 percent of the IPSG card's capacity (5000 TPS). This
threshold is reached when the signaling link's actual usage exceeds the percentage of the signaling
link's fair share of the linkset's TPS or the percentage of the IPSG card's capacity.
A signaling link's fair share of linkset's TPS is the linkset's TPS divided by the number of in-service
links in the linkset. For example, if the linkset TPS is 4000 and there are 4 signaling links in the linkset,
all in-service, then the signaling link's fair-share would be 1000 TPS (4000/4=1000).
