Software Increment Release Notes ================================ Increment ID: I19A1800 Date created: December 14, 2000 CSR number: TRAT.59022424 Title: Implement GR303 P-Phone (MVI EBS) on AN18 Detailed Description of Increment: --------------------------------- WARNING - If this increment is applied, activated (using the special access code and procedure below), and MVI EBS services are provisioned, a valid image MUST be taken to the OPC to avoid service degradations in the event of a Network Element re-boot. See details below for image dump procedures or consult the Incremental Software Delivery Users Guide (P0934362). The increment enables the connection of an electronic business set (EBS) line through an AccessNode to any switch that uses the GR303 multi-vendor interface (MVI) and supports Nortel Networks specification NIS V202-1. The MVI EBS operates similarly to a Nortel Networks proprietary FWP EBS, except that it reacts to MVI Object model requests and connects to the switch via MVI links. The Network Element User Interface (NEUI) displays MVI EBS as EBS, as well as the Call Reference Value (CRV). An access code from Nortel Networks will be necessary to enable this feature. This increment has no impact on system operation or functionality until it is activated with the use of the access code and procedures outlined below. All increments must be applied in numerical order regardless of whether or not they are enabled/activated. This increment cannot be removed until all MVI EBS provisioning has been removed and the feature has been deactivated per the procedures detailed below. System configuration and shelf type requirements: ------------------------------------------------ This increment works with all AccessNode configurations and shelf types. MVI EBS uses existing Omega and SAA12 station line cards. Prerequisite Increments Required: -------------------------------- Increments I01A1800 through I18A1800 must be successfully applied prior to application of this increment. Loads Affected: -------------- APU: ACCL18BC Installation Instructions: ------------------------- Please refer to the Incremental Software Delivery Users Guide for general installation instructions. This document may be obtained from either the AccessWeb ISD web site (https://www23.nortelnetworks.com/ACCESS_OPTICAL/esd/isd/), where the AccessNode increments are located, or you may order it through your Nortel Account Manager or Order Manager. The document number for the Incremental Software Delivery Users Guide is P0934362. Increment installation instructions: ----------------------------------- 1. Either a) download the increment directly to the /iswd directory on the OPC. b) download the increment to tape, then insert the tape into the OPC tape drive. 2.

MVI EBS Installation instructions: --------------------------------- Switch information: ------------------ The N201 parameter on the Local Digital Switch (LDS) must be greater than 52. Please see NTP 297-8001-351, page 1-124 about the CLAPDFLT field in TABLE RDTINV. If using a non-Nortel Networks switch, please see vendor-specific documentation for more information. The value for MVI EBS must be 52 to allow the terminating phone to hear ringing. Modify the default N201 value for the TMC LAPD parameters specified in the CLAPDFLT field in table RDTINV. The N201 value will change from 32 octets to 52 octets to support the EBS information message size. If you enter a value smaller than 52 for the N201 parameter, a warning message states "the N201 parameter must be greater than or equal to 52 for EBS lines to work on this RDT." MVI EBS is non-compliant with GR303-12.4.3.5.4 R12-17 [889], which says "For SAPI=0 of the TMC/CSC, the maximum number of octets in the information field of an I frame, N201, shall be 32. (This SAP is used for call processing messages.)" Enable MVI EBS: -------------- You must enable the MVI EBS in order to provision MVI EBS line terminations at the AccessNode. >From an AccessNode CI prompt (NELOGIN, HMI, or MODEM), enter the MVIEBSCI: 1. >mviebsci 2. >enable 3. Enter the code given to you by Nortel Networks ***NOTE: At this time it is possible that the TMC link to the MVI switch will go out of service for up to five minutes, and new calls can not be originated for up to five minutes. To bring the TMC links back immediately, Busy and RTS the STANDBY TMC link at the IDT level at the DMS-100. For example, at your DMS-100 switch prompt, for IDT 30 and if TMC1 is now in standby mode: mapci;mtc;pm;post idt 30 pps query bsy tmc1 (whichever TMC is now in standby instead of active) rts tmc1 pps query pps act tmc1 (This part is optional. An audit will restore in less than 5 minutes) If you do not BUSY and RTS the inactive TMC link, all links will recover within five minutes without manual intervention. Standing calls are not dropped as the EOC link is not affected. Disable MVI EBS: --------------- You must remove all MVI EBS line provisioning before you disable MVI EBS. >From an AccessNode CI prompt (NELOGIN, HMI, or MODEM), enter the MVIEBSCI: 1. >mviebsci 2. >disable Query whether MVI EBS is enabled or disabled: -------------------------------------------- >From an AccessNode CI prompt (NELOGIN, HMI, or MODEM), enter the MVIEBSCI. 1. >mviebsci 2. >status MVI EBS increment removal instructions: -------------------------------------- To remove this increment, you must first deprovision all MVI EBS lines and disable MVI EBS via the MVIEBSCI: 1. Deprovision all MVI EBS lines 2. Go into MVIEBSCI and DISABLE 3. Exit MVIEBSCI 4. Go into the ISD tool on the OPC and select Remove Patch. If there are problems when removing the patch, make sure that MVI EBS is disabled and that you have exited MVIEBSCI. What is displayed in the ISD Process Log (/iws/isd/logs/process.log) when you have not exited out of MVIEBSCI: Dec 6 20:13:15> 30 LOADER ERROR: "MVIEBSCI.AA01" belongs to 1 process. Dec 6 20:13:16> 30 Load patch to MVIEBSCI not removed. What is displayed in the ISD Process Log when you MVI EBS is still ENABLED: Dec 6 21:28:50> 30 MVI EBS must be disabled before removing patch I19A1800 Dec 6 21:28:59> 30 Active APU remove error : Patcher error - Increment I19A1800 Provision MVI EBS line terminations at the AccessNode: ----------------------------------------------------- In the AN18 increment, the AccessNode (except for TL1) displays MVI EBS as "EBS". The NEUI, logs, and CIs will all display "EBS" for both FWP EBS and MVI EBS. For AN19, they will all display MVI EBS as "MVI EBS" and FWP EBS as "EBS". For TL1, MVI EBS will display as GSFN equal to EBSI, and FWP EBS will display as GSFN equal to EBS. ***There is a new TL1 GSFN code to provision MVI EBS called EBSI*** NOTE: You must put a zero in front of any slot numbers less than 10. 1. Start up tl1shell ops >From a unix prompt on the OPC , type: Tl1shell ops [return] 2. Enter a termination ENT-T0:::::::; where Service Type: EBSI Target Identifier. Denotes the NE targeted by the request. Access Identifier. Enter using the following format: RT1-- Correlation Tag. A tag or series of one to six alphanumeric characters that are used to identify each transaction. Keyword parameter specifying the special service being provisioned. The new service state for the channel. Enter IS for in-service or OOS for out-of-service. Example syntax: ENT-T0:NE16:RT1-01-10:TAG:::GSFN=EBSI,LOOPTYPE=2W:IS; Example response: NE16 99-03-11 16:14:09 M TAG COMPLD 3.

A tag or series of one to six alphanumeric characters that are used to identify each transaction. Example syntax to assign CRV 10 for IG 1 to linecard 10 of CDS shelf 1: ENT-CRS-T0:NE16:RT1-01-10,1-10:tag123; Example response: NE16 99-03-11 16:18:49 M TAG COMPLD NOTE: Any MVI EBS line terminations without a host IG number will revert back to FWP EBS after a restart reload or APU SWACT. MVI EBS line terminations without a host are caused for example by using the ENT-T0 command to provision MVI EBS and then not entering the ENT-CRS-T0 command to assign an IG and CRV. After a restart reload, MVI EBS lines without a valid Host IG/CRV assignment will convert into FWP EBS lines and further attempts to provision these as MVI EBS will fail. These lines will show a DMS LEN instead of a CRV when posted at the AccessNode NE UI. To fix, either the FWP EBS line will have to be deprovisioned using the DLT-T0 TL1 command, or the CONVERT command in MVIEBSCI can be used to convert all FWP EBS line terminations without a Host IG assignment into MVI EBS line terminations. 4. Display Host IG/CRV to LCA mapping information RTRV-CRS-T0:::; where Target Identifier. Denotes the NE targeted by the request. Access Identifier.
