The SS7 Network is configured separately from the voice network.

Because the SS7 network is critical to call processing, SCPs and STPs are usually deployed as

mated pairs.Traffic is shared across all links in the linkset. If one of the links fails, the signaling traffic is

rerouted over another link in the linkset.

The SS7 protocol provides both error correction and retransmission capabilities to allow

continued service in the event of signaling point or link failures.

All signaling points in the SS7 network perform network management functions to redirect traffic

around failed signaling points and or signaling links.

SS7 Network supports the following functions:

Switching messages to provide voice path connectivity from one telephone office to

another and basic call setup, management, and tear down.

Provides access to databases for enhanced call features such as call forwarding, callingparty name/number display, three-way calling.

Wireless services - wireless roaming, mobile subscriber authentication

Local Number Portability (LNP)

Toll-free (800/888) and toll (900) wireline services

Efficient and secure worldwide telecommunications



The SSP is a tandem, Class 4/5 office, or MSC and is the interface to the networks outside of the

SS7 network.

SSPs are switches that originate, terminate, or tandem calls.An SSP sends signaling messages to other SSPs to setup, manage, and release voice circuits

required to complete a call.

An SSP may also send a query message to a centralized database (an SCP) to determine how

to route a call (e.g., a toll-free 1-800/888 call in North America).

Actual call features vary from network to network and from service to service.

A SSP can be any of the following:

Customer switch

End office

Access tandem

Tandem Switch

MSC (Mobile Switching Center)

Dial Central Office (DCO)



An SCP serves an interface to large databases used by telephone carriers for number translation, networkmanagement and line information. Common SCP applications include:

Call Management Services Database (CMSDB)Call processing information such as routing instructions for 800, 900, 976 special service numbers andbilling information such as billing address and third party billingNetwork management functionsCall sampling for traffic studies

Line Information Database (LIDB)Calling card information such as calling card validation, PIN information, and calling card fraudulent usepreventionThird party billing and collect call handling instructionsOriginating line number screening - custom calling features such as call forwarding and speed dialing

Calling Name Database (CNAM)Provides calling number and calling name information to customers that have Caller ID service

Home Location Register (HLR)Used in wireless networks to store wireless subscriber information such as billing information, servicesallowed, and current location information for retrieval by Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs)

Visitor Location Register (VLR)When a wireless telephone is not recognized by the local Mobile Switching Center (MSC) the MSCoriginates a query into the network requesting validation information from the subscribers HLRUsed to store current location for visiting subscribers and sends this information to the HLR



Network traffic between signaling points is typically routed via a packet switch called an STP.STPs are actually SS7 routers placed in the heart of the SS7 network used to route incomingmessages based on routing information contained in the message.

STPs are typically deployed in pairs for redundancy.STPS perform MTP3 network management procedures used to reroute traffic around failedsignaling links and signaling points.

Measurement data is collected by the STP to provide statistics on traffic engineering, networkusage as well as signaling links and linksets.

An STP is capable of performing global title translation, a procedure by which the destinationsignaling point is determined from digits present in the signaling message (e.g., the dialed 800number, calling card number, or mobile subscriber identification number).

STPs with inter-network connections are considered gateway STPs. They provide an interfacebetween both ANSI to ANSI, ANSI to ITU and ITU to ITU networks.

An STP can also perform gateway screening which acts like a "firewall" to screen SS7 messages

incoming from other networks.The EAGLE 5 STP is also capable of performing Local Number Portability (LNP).



Just as homes and businesses need a unique address in order to receive mail, so also do

SS7 signaling points need a unique address in order to receive SS7 messages intended for

each signaling point.

There are 4 different types of point codes used today. They will be discussed on the next 4

slides.



Using this point code structure a large network may have up to 65,536 point codes with only 1

Network indicator, all Clusters and members of that Network Indicator.

The ANSI point code structure allows for 16,777,216 point codes, which is more thanadequate for North America.



The ITU International point code structure allows for 16,384 point codes to allow signaling

between all ITU countries, and also between ITU and ANSI countries.

NOTE: Only 14 bits are used for ITU International point codes.



The ITU National point code structure allows for 16,384 point codes to allow signaling

between all networks within a single country.

NOTE: Only 14 bits are used for single value ITU National point codes.

Procedure for converting a single number ITU national point code to a multiple-part ITU

national point is as follows:

1. Enter the command, chg-stpopts:npcfmti=3-8-3-0. This command will convert all singlevalue ITU national point codes currently entered in the STP to the 3-8-3-0 format.

2. To understand the conversion, the following steps may be performed:

1. Using a scientific calculator convert the point code to a binary number.

2. The number 15045 converts to the binary number 11101011000101.

3. Divide the binary number into the number of parts using the 3-8-3-0 format. Theresult of the conversion is 111 01011000 101.

4. Convert each part of the point code into a binary number using a scientific

calculator. The results are as follows.111 01011000 101 = 7-88-5.

Note: Details concerning point code conversion is found in the Commands Manual, Appendix

A Reference Information.



The ITU-N24 point code structure allows for 16,777,216 point codes.



The Cluster Routing and Management Diversity (CRMD) feature:

Eliminates the need for a full point code entry in the routing table to route to everysignaling point in every network

Allows the EAGLE to configure one routeset to an entire cluster of destinations

A cluster is defined as a group of signaling points whose point codes have identicalvalues for the network and cluster fields of the point code. A cluster entry in the routingtable is shown with an asterisk (*) in the member field of the point code.

Note: Cluster entries can only be provisioned as ANSI destination point codes

Nested Cluster Routing:

Provides a mechanism that allows both cluster and member routes to be provisioned inthe same cluster

Network Routing allows routing by network indicator (005 - * - *)

Allows the user to provision a single route set that will be used for all MSUs destined to

members of that networkTo use the CRMD feature, the feature must be turned on with the chg-feat command.Once the feature is turned on, it cannot be turned off.



A linkset is defined as a grouping of all the signaling links from one signaling point (local) to

another signaling point (adjacent). It is assigned a linkset name which will identify the far end

signaling point, often called a 2-6 code, where 2 letters and 6 numbers in the linkset name

identify the adjacent signaling point.

Signaling links are physical connections used in the SS7 network to connect the various nodes.

The linksets have a designated identity to define the type of connection provided.

On the EAGLE we build a linkset and then assign signaling links to the linkset.

The maximum number of signaling links in a linkset is 16.

A Signaling Link Code (SLC) identifies the order of the signaling links in a linkset, with a range of

0-15 with the first signaling link in a linkset assigned SLC-0.

The SLC must match on both ends of the signaling link for the signaling link to operate.

Linkset types between different types of Signaling Points are identified with letters, A-F. All

Signaling Links assigned to a linkset take on the assigned linkset type, thus becoming signalinglink types A-F.

Signaling Link types are discussed on the next slide.


22/384



Fill-In-Signal Unit (FISU)

Automatically generated in both directions on all signaling links as traffic volume

increases or decreases

Provides continuous error checking on signaling links when there are no MSUs

Allows the SS7 network to maintain its reliability

Lowest level signal unit

Contains basic level 2 information only (i.e., acknowledgment of signal unit receipt by a

remote signaling point)

Link Status Signal Unit (LSSU)

Ccontains one or two octets (8-bit bytes) of link status information

Used to control link alignment

Indicates the status of a signaling point (e.g., local processor outage) to the remotesignaling point

Message Signal Unit (MSU)

Call control

Database query and response

Network management

Network maintenance

Routing label which consists of an origination and a destination point code



Flag - acts as a delimiter for SUs. A flag marks the end of one SU and the start of the nextSU. Always looks like this 01111110.

Backward Sequence Number (BSN) - used to confirm receipt of SUs and to ensure they are

received in the order they were transmitted. The BSN value will match that of the lastsuccessfully received SUs FSN. Value can be 0-127, or 128 possible SUs in receive buffer

Backward Indicator Bit (BIB) - Indicates a negative acknowledgement if the bit does notmatch the FIB bit value, either 0 or 1

Forward Sequence Number (FSN) - Contains the sequence number of a transmitted SU.Can be between 0-127, or 128 possible SUs in transmit buffer

Forward Indicator Bit (FIB) - Used in error recovery like the BIB. When messages aretransmitted in error, and the BIB has changed from 1 to 0, or 0 to 1, the FIB will change to

match the BIB when the corrupted messages have been successfully retransmitted. If there

are no erred messages, the BIB and FIB will have the same value, 0 or 1.

Length Indicator (LI) - Indicates length of the SU. FISU LI = 0, LSSU LI = 1 or 2, MSU LI = 3to 63. If the MSU is larger than 63 octets (bytes) it will not be indicated. Max 273 octets.

Spare - Used as a filler since the LI only uses 6 of the possible 8 bits

Check Sum - is calculated from the transmitted message by the transmitting signaling pointand inserted in the message. On receipt it is recalculated by receiving signaling point. If not

the same, the message is corrupt and retransmission is requested



The LSSU has one unique field, the status field (SF). The SF can have any one of six different

status indications. Those status indications are:

Busy (SIB) - level 2 is busy, or congested at transmitting signaling point. A SP will suspend

MSUs when it receives a busy LSSU. If the condition lasts 3-6 sec. Level 3 will be informed ofa link failure and begin alignment procedure.

Processor Outage (SIPO) - transmitting signaling point cannot communicate with levels 3and 4, possibly due to a CPU or total nodal failure, or being manually taken out of service with

the canc-slk command.

Out of Service (SIOS) - signaling point cannot transmit or receive any MSUs for reasonsother than processor outage. Upon receipt of an SIOS the receiving SP stops the transmission

of MSUs and begins transmitting FISUs. It is also sent at the beginning of the alignment

procedure.

Out of Alignment (SIO) - sent when a link has failed, is restored and alignment procedurehas been initiated, but proving period parameters have not been met.

Normal Alignment (SIN) - procedure used when there is more than one slk in the affectedlinkset. During the alignment process, the slk is looking for 4 successful normal alignment

LSSUs in a 2.3 sec. proving period. If it fails it will go out of alignment again.

Emergency Alignment (SIE) - procedure used when there is there is only one slk in alinkset. During the alignment process, the slk is looking for 1 successful emergency alignment

LSSU in a .6 sec. proving period.



The MSU provides the structure for transmitting all message types such as ISUP, TUP,

TCAP, MAP.

An MSU has two unique fields:

Service Information Octet (SIO)

Signaling Information Field (SIF)



Signaling Information Field (SIF) has:

The routing label of the message (OPC/DPC).

A Signaling Link Selector (SLS) is used to distribute traffic over multiple signaling links

within a linkset if available.

Service Information Octet (SIO) tells level 4 the type of service requested and the type of

network message, and the priority of the MSU.

The service indicator field tells the type message:

value - 0 indicates a signaling network management message

value - 1 indicates a signaling network test and maintenance message

value 2 indicates a special signaling network test and maintenance message

value - 3 indicates a SCCP message

value 4 indicates a TUP message

value - 5 indicates an ISUP message

The network type is two bits:

value - 0 indicates an international network

value - 2 indicates a national network

The message priority is two bits:

message priority values are from 0-3

value - 0 indicates lowest priority messages

value - 3 indicates highest priority message



MTP Message Transfer Part

SCCP Signaling Connection Control Part

TCAP Transaction Capabilities Application PartMAP Mobile Application Part

ISUP Integrated Services Digital Network User Part

TUP Telephone User Part



Note that MTP is comprised of three levels in the SS7 protocol model. The MTP functional areaof the SS7 protocol provides reliable transfer of SS7 signaling messages.

MTP Level 1 (Physical Layer)

Provides transport for signaling link

Defines physical, electrical and functional characteristics of a signaling link

Provides the means to access the signaling link

Typically the transmission path is configured as a 56Kbps or 64 Kbps digital path

MTP Level 2 (Data Link Layer)

Provides for transfer of signaling data over individual signaling links

Responsible for link alignment and for error free transmission of data

Ensures error free transfer of data in proper sequence between signaling nodes

MTP Level 3 (Network Layer)

Message discrimination - determines to whom the message is addressedMessage distribution - directs a locally significant message to the appropriate internal user (i.e.,SCCP module)

Message routing - reads the Destination Point Code (DPC) to determine to which signaling nodeto send message



SCCP is the protocol used to access databases.

SCCP provides Global Title Translation (GTT) capabilities.

Global title - an address (i.e., 800 number, calling card number, or mobile subscriberidentification number) translated into Destination Point Code (DPC).

DPC identifies the destination signaling point.

Subsystem number identifies an application at the destination signaling node.

SCCP is used as the transport mechanism for TCAP and MAP services.

The SCCP portion contains the Calling Party Address (CGPA) and the Called Party Address

(CDPA).



TCAP supports the functions required to query and retrieve information from network databases

using non-circuit related applications.

TCAP is the core signaling element for enhanced service delivery between SCPs and SSPs.TCAP is the transaction layer for ANSI and ITU, identifying each transaction.

Examples of TCAP messages:

Query from an SSP to determine the routing number associated with a dialed 800/888

number.

Query from an SSP to check the personal identification number (PIN) of a calling card

user.

Provides calling number and calling name information to customers that have Caller ID

service.

Mobile Application Part (MAP) messages sent between mobile switches and databases to

support user authentication, equipment identification, and roaming.



Mobile Application Part (MAP) is a level-four protocol used in CDMA and GSM networks. MAP

messages are sent between mobile switches and databases to support user authentication,

equipment identification, and roaming.

The purpose of this protocol is to provide a mechanism by which cellular subscriber information

may be passed from one cellular network to another.

MAP messages sent between mobile switches and databases support user authentication,

equipment identification, and roaming.

It is handled according to the OPCODE in the message.

It is used by the EAGLE STP for GSM MAP Screening.



Defines the protocol used to set-up, manage, and release trunk circuits that carry voice and data

between terminating line exchanges (e.g., between a calling party and a called party).

Used for both ISDN and Non-ISDN calls.Calls that originate and terminate at the same switch do not use ISUP signaling.

An example of ISUP Call Model will be covered at the end of this section.



Telephone User Part (TUP) is used in international networks for basic call connection and

disconnect.

Telephone User Part (TUP) is used for analog circuits.

TUP is used in Europe and other countries following ITU-TS standards. It is being replaced by

ISUP at the international level.

Regardless of the differences between ISUP and TUP (message type and parameters), the two

protocols can be mapped to each other successfully.



Call model for a toll-free call:

1. The calling party dials a 800 number.

2. The originating SSP sends a query via an SCCP message to the STP.

3. The EAGLE STP performs Global Title Translations (GTT) on the SCCP message to determine thelocation of the database (SCP) that contains the information needed.

4. The EAGLE STP forwards the query via an SCCP message to the 800 database on the SCP.

5. The SCP processes the query.

6. SCP sends response containing the routing information to the EAGLE STP where it is MTP routedback to the SSP.

7. The originating SSP sends an Initial Address Message (IAM) or ISUP setup message to establish acircuit connection to the destination SSP. The EAGLE STP through switches an IAM or ISUP setupmessage to the destination SSP to complete the end-to-end circuit connection.

8. The destination SSP sends an Address Complete Message (ACM) to acknowledge the circuitcompletion and that ringing is being sent to the called party.

9. The voice trunk circuit identified in the Initial Address Message (IAM) is cut through by the time the

ACM has been sent to the originating SSP.

10. Called party rings and goes off hook.

11. The destination SSP sends an Answer Message (ANM) as soon as Called Party goes off-hook.

12. The Calling Party goes on-hook and a Release Message (REL) is sent by originating SSP to thedestination SSP.

13. A Release Complete (RLC) is sent by destination SSP to the originating SSP to return the voicecircuits to an idle condition.

Student Notes



EAGLE Frames

This is a partial view of an EAGLE STP system.

These are standard floor-mounted frames 7 feet high, 26 inches wide, and 23 5/8th inchesdeep.

Each frame is powered with two -48VDC 60 AMP power feeds that terminate on one of three

different types of Fuse Alarm Panels that will be discussed later in this section.

Operating temperature of the EAGLE STP is 40F to 100F / 4C to 37C.

Short Term Temperature Limits of the EAGLE STP is 23F to 120F / -5C to 48C (no more

than 96 consecutive hours and a total of not more than 15 days in one year).

For ambient temperatures above 95F / 35C, relative humidity must be less than 80 percent.

There are four types of EAGLE frames:

Control Frame

Extension Frame

Miscellaneous Frame

General Purpose Frame

NOTE: The Operation Support System Application Frame (OAPF) is an optional frame.



The Control Frame (CF) is the principle frame of the EAGLE STP.

The Control Frame contains the Control Shelf which is the first shelf in the Control Frame.

Up to two Extension Shelves may be added to the Control Frame, each with up to 16 application

cards.

A maximum of 42 card slots for all types of application modules are supported in the Control Frame.

A maximum of 1,344 signaling links are possible in the Control Frame if completely equipped with

E5-E1/T1 cards.

The unique serial number (NT number) of the EAGLE 5 STP may be located at the top of the Control

Frame adjacent to the CF-00 lettering. Older systems have the serial number located on the lower

center of the Control Shelf backplane.



Extension Frames (EF) are added when more signaling capacity than what is provided by the

Control Frame is needed.

Up to five Extension Frames are available for the EAGLE STP.

These Extension Frames are labeled EF-00 to EF-04.

Up to three extension shelves may be mounted in each frame except for EF-04.

EF-04 has only one extension shelf located in the top shelf position of the frame.

With an 8 bit binary numbering plan there are 256 possible combinations which is the number of

card slots found in the EAGLE STP.

Extension Frames EF-00 through EF-03 have 16 card slots per shelf for a total of 192 card slots.

Extension Frame EF-04 has 16 card slots in the top shelf.

The total of these card slots is 256, which is why there is only one shelf in the last extension

frame EF-04.



The Miscellaneous Frame (MF) is an optional frame.

It is typically equipped with a Fuse Alarm Panel (FAP).

The Miscellaneous Frame is used to house EAGLE related equipment, such as:Holdover Clock

Test Equipment

DSX Panels

Spare Card shelf

Printers

Communications Terminal



General Purpose Frame (GPF) can be used to house equipment for:

Multi-Purpose Server for ELAP or EPAP number portability applications

Integrated Application Server Integrated Message Feeder (IMF)Integrated Sentinel Sentinel Processor Frame (SPF)

Extended Services Platform (ESP)

Sentinel Processor Frame (SPF)

These frames typically contain the following for EAGLE related applications:

2 Breaker Panels

4 Ethernet Hubs

2 TekServers

These frames are numbered GPF-00 through GPF-xx.

These frames are also labeled with their specific function (Sentinel, MPS, etc.)



Frame End Panel with Alarm Lamp Indicators:

Provides -48VDC lamps for critical, major, and minor alarms (bulb part number: 525-0036-02)

Connects to row alarm connector (row ALM) on control shelf backplane.



Multiple types of Fuse and Alarm Panels:

870-1606-02 can be used for all EAGLE frames

870-2320-03 can be used for all EAGLE frames

870-2804-01 is used in Control and Extension frames

870-0243-08 is used for Legacy Control and Extension frames

See the Installation EAGLE 5 STP Manual, Chapter 5, for fuse assignments.



Contains 2 Diode Boards which allows A or B power to provide -48 VDC to entire frame in the

event one power feed is lost

Contains power LEDs which changes from Green to Red when power is interruptedContains a Jumper Board which enables the removal and test of the diode boards by by-passing

the diode boards with a fuse for monthly Maintenance procedures

The Alarm Board provides alarm indications for critical, major, minor, and fuses.

LEDs indicate operational / maintenance status.



Control Frame Power Connections (A/B):

P1 for control shelf (1100)

P2 for first extension shelf (1200)P3 for second extension shelf (1300)

Extension Frame Power Connections (A/B):

P1 for first extension shelf (X100)

P2 for second extension shelf (X200)

P3 for third extension shelf (X300)

Miscellaneous Frame Connections (A/B):

4 wired positions (12, 18, 19, and 20) for A side outputs

4 wired positions (12, 18, 19, and 20) for B side outputs

-48 VDC, -48 volt return, and ground for each position

Alarm Interface

Alarm information from control shelf

Provides bi-directional frame alarm information to/from control shelf



The FAP (P/N 870-2804-01) is a low-profile (1U) unit that can be installed in the Control Frame(CF) and the Extension Frame (EF). The Power Alarm LED indicates the input power to theFAP. The LED is green when input power is applied to that bus of the FAP and is red when

there is no input power to that bus of the FAP. An unlit Power Alarm indicates a failed LED or noinput power to either bus of the FAP.

The FAP contains a Diode board and a Shorting board. These boards are located at the frontcenter of the FAP. The FAP also contains two fuse blocks, one to the left (A-side) and one to theright (B-Side) of diode and shorting boards, consisting of 20 fuse positions each. The Fuse

Alarm LED indicates the failure of a fuse.

The diode board in the FAP contains power diodes and circuitry which allow one bus to pick upthe entire load when there is a loss of input power on the other bus.

The Shorting board allows the removal of the diode board without taking down the system. Thispermits periodic maintenance of the diodes without having to power down or remove the unitfrom the shelf.

For maintenance operation, the Shorting board has to be removed, flipped over, and reinstalled.In the bypass position, both A and B power is connected to the fuse blocks so the diode boardcan be safely removed. The Shorting board has an LED which is off when the board is in normaloperational mode and is green when in the bypass mode of operation.

Further details are found in the Hardware Signaling Products Manual.



The F1 through F18 indicates Fuse position 1 through Fuse position 18.

F3, F9 and F15 A & B are One Amp GMT fuses.

F6, F12 and F18 A & B are Three Amp GMT fuses if fans are installed. Otherwise they areplastic blanks.

All other fuse positions are Three Amp GMT fuses.

More details concerning Frame Fuse arrangement are located in Installation EAGLE 5 STP

Manual.

GMT stands for Grounded Metallic Thermal (GMT) fuses.



Frame Numbering Scheme

CF00 (first frame in system)

EF00 through EF04 (second through sixth frames in system)EF04 only supports provisioning of the first shelf.



The Control Shelf is always the first shelf (1100) in the EAGLE.

The Control Shelf contains all of the Maintenance Administration Subsystem (MAS) cards.

The Control Shelf can support up to ten application cards to support such functions as E1s, T1s,Global Title Translations, etc.

There are three parts of the Control Shelf discussed on the next four slides:

The Maintenance and Administration Modules (Legacy and New E5 modules)

The Application Modules

The Communication Modules



There are two MAS Processors (MASP A and MASP B).

Each MASP consists of one General Purpose Service Module (GPSM-II) and one Terminal Disk

Module (TDM).

MASP A cards are located in slots 1113 & 1114.

MASP B cards are located in slots 1115 & 1116.

MASP A and MASP B provide redundancy.

One Maintenance Disk and Alarm (MDAL) card in slots 1117 & 1118 serves both MASPs.

Note: The MAS detailed here is the legacy MAS that is being replaced by the E5-OAM at

Release 40.1.



The E5-OAM cards are being introduced in the current EAGLE 5 STP 40.1 Software Release.

The E5-OAM Control Shelf is always the first shelf (1100) in the EAGLE.

The E5-OAM Control Shelf contains all of the Maintenance Administration Subsystem (MAS)

cards.

The E5-OAM Control Shelf can support up to ten application cards to support such functions as

E1s, T1s, Global Title Translations, etc.

There are three parts of the E5-OAM Control Shelf:

The E5-OAM Maintenance and Administration Modules

The Application Modules

The Communication Modules



There are two MAS Processors (MASP A and MASP B).

Each MASP consists of a double slotted E5-OAM card made up of one E5-Maintenance

Communication Application Processor (E5-MCAP) and one E5-Terminal Disk Module (E5-TDM).

MASP A card is located in slots 1113 & 1114.

MASP B card is located in slots 1115 & 1116.

MASP A and MASP B provide redundancy.

One E5-Maintenance Disk and Alarm (E5-MDAL) card in slots 1117 & 1118 serves both MASPs.

Note: The E5-MDAL only supports the alarm function and not the Maintenance Disk function.

Further details on these new cards is found in Module 3 Lesson 1.



Application cards may be provisioned in slots 1101 1108, and 1111-1112.

The application cards are capable of communicating with other cards through the redundant IMTbuses. A Communications Processor on each application card provides control of

communications from the cards to the IMT buses.

Software is downloaded to E5-OAM cards, then to the application cards on initial power-up fromthe MASP. Once the EAGLE 5 STP is loaded, software is downloaded to cards by the GenericLoader Services (GLS) and Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM).

An Application Processor receives the software load on the application card. The type ofsoftware the AP receives depends on the function of the application board which is determinedby the provisioning of the board.

Presently, there are several types of application cards that support specific functions:

Link Interface Modules (LIM)

Multi-Port Link Interface Modules (MPL)

High Capacity Multi-Channel Interface Modules (HCMIM)Enhanced Database Communications Modules (EDCM)

Translation Service Modules (TSM)

Database Service Modules (DSM)

E5 Multi-Channel Interface Modules (E5 E1/T1)

E5-SM4G Database Service Module

E5-ATM

E5-ENET

E5-IPSM



Communications Modules are an integral part of the Interprocessor Message Transport (IMT) Bus.

The IMT bus is the main communication artery within the EAGLE STP.

The IMT bus utilizes High Speed Multiplexer Cards (HMUX), or High Speed Packet Router Cards(HIPR) for two independent high speed 1Gbps buses within the IMT bus.

The two independent high speed 1Gbps IMT buses are labeled IMT Bus A and IMT Bus B.

IMT Bus A is supported by either HMUX or HIPR bus cards in Control Shelf card slot 1109.

IMT Bus B is supported by either HMUX or HIPR bus cards in Control Shelf card slot 1110.

HIPR cards are required in any shelf where any E5 cards are provisioned.

Card slot 09 supports IMT bus A and card slot 10 supports IMT B in every shelf in the EAGLE STP.

BITS Building Integrated Timing System may be comprised of the following:

64Kbps, 1.544Mbps composite BITS signals (ANSI)

64Kbps, 2.048Mbps composite BITS signals (ITU)These clock inputs connect to the EAGLE 5 STP through two DB-15 connectors on control

shelf backplane primary BITS (J49) and secondary BITS (J48) connectors.

Clocking is distributed to the rest of the EAGLE 5 STP by the TDMs as:

Clock A

Clock B

The 64Kbps timing signal is used by LIMs for X.25 and SS7 DS0A ANSI or ITU signaling links,

with each LIM selecting either clock A or clock B for its own use.

The 1.544Mbps timing signal is used by LIM-ATM , E5-ATM, E1/T1 MIM, E5-E1/T1 MIM, and

HC-MIM for ANSI networks.

The 2.048Mbps timing signal is used by E1-ATM, E5-ATM, LIM-E1, E1/T1 MIM, E5-E1/T1

MIM and HC-MIM for ITU networks.

The EAGLE 5 STP supports up to two 64Kbps and two 1.544Mbps at the same time in the

ANSI network.

The EAGLE 5 STP supports up to two 64Kbps and two 2.048Mbps at the same time in the

ITU network.

The 1.544Mbps and 2.048Mbps can never be present in the EAGLE 5 STP at the same time.



The second and third shelves of the Control Frame are called Extension Shelves.

Extension shelves populate all Extension Frames in the EAGLE STP lineup.

These shelves provide support of up to 16 cards of all types, both single and double slotapplication cards (modules).



See the EAGLE Hardware Signaling Products Manual, Chapter 3, for backplane connector

information.

Maintenance and Administration Subsystem (MAS)

Provides services to the other subsystems such as Maintenance communications,

Measurements, Peripheral services, Alarm processing and System disks

Consists of the following system processor cards through Release 40.0:

General Purpose Service Module (GPSM II)

Terminal Disk Module (TDM)

Maintenance Disk Alarm Module (MDAL)

Consists of the following system processor cards after Release 40.0:

E5-based Maintenance Communication Application Processor (E5-MCAP)

E5-based Terminal Disk Module (E5-TDM)

E5-based Maintenance Disk and Alarm card (E5-MDAL)



The MAS detailed here is the legacy MAS that is being replaced by the E5-OAM at Release 40.1.

The MAS consists of:

MASP A - GPSM-II card in location 1113 and TDM card in location 1114MASP B - GPSM-II card in location 1115 and TDM card in location 1116

MDAL - in location 1117/1118

There is an Extended Bus Interface (EBI), which is a Small Computer Serial Interface (SCSI) busproviding the connection between the associated GPSM-IIs and TDMs of both MASPs.

One MASP is always active and the other is always in the standby mode.

If a problem occurs with one of the cards in the active MASP, the two MASPs will switch activityinstantly with no adverse effect on MSU processing. Any users logged in at the time of the MASPswap will be logged out and will need to log back into the system. Unsolicited Alarm Message(UAM) 0176 will be generated every time a MASP swap occurs. UAMs will be discussed inModule 7.

The EAGLE 5 STP is capable of operating fully with only one set of MASP cards in the system.At the time of a MASP failure, or the removal of one of the MASP cards, the EAGLE begins asimplex timer that runs for approximately 3 minutes. During the timeout of the simplex timer, onlyrept-stat commands may be entered in the EAGLE 5 STP. If the removed or defective card is notreplaced before the simplex timer times out, the EAGLE will switch to simplex operation mode.

During the simplex operation mode, all operations of the EAGLE may be completely performed.The EAGLE will generate a message for every command entry indicating the EAGLE is in thesimplex operation mode as it completes the command.

After the defective or removed MASP card is replaced, the system will revert back to the duplexoperation mode within 3 minutes of the card replacement.



The GPSM-II is based on the single-slot Enhanced Data Service Module (EDSM) card with the

addition of one GB of expansion memory.

The GPSM-II card is the only MAS card connected to the IMT buses.

The GPSM-II is downloaded with Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) software.

It is connected to the TDM by the Extended Bus Interface (EBI).

The active processor GPSM-II polls all EAGLE STP modules every second for health and sanity

checks (alarm information).

The active GPSM-II polls all application cards for Measurements Reports - details discussed in

the TK175 EAGLE Measurements Course.

When alarm conditions are detected during health checks, the GPSM-II passes the Alarm data to

the TDM via the EBI bus.

The active GPSM-II receives and executes commands for the EAGLE 5 STP.



The TDM provides storage of system software, database configuration, and measurement data

on a hard drive of varying sizes according to the specific revision of the TDM.

The TDM provides access to all peripherals attached to the EAGLE such as:

terminals

printers

modems

Another very important function of the TDM, not found in the name of the card, is that it is

responsible for system clock distribution.



Since the TDM is responsible for clock distribution it uses the Primary and Secondary BITS

clock inputs and distributes one of those BITS clock inputs (default-Primary BITS) to all

EAGLE frames CF-00 through EF-04 as Clock A or Clock B.

MASP A TDM 1114 distributes the BITS signal to all A clock connectors on the control shelf

backplane.

MASP B TDM 1116 distributes the BITS signal to all B clock connectors on the control shelf

backplane.

Customers with DS0 links must use 64Kbps BITS clocks for synchronization.

High Speed 1.544 or 2.048 Mbps BITS clocks are optional for customers using E1s or T1s

for signaling links.

The active processor TDM provides visual alarm data on all terminals (I/O ports) configured

as type VT320.

All 16 RS-232 terminals (I/O ports) on the EAGLE 5 STP are controlled by the active MASP

TDM.

The TDMs have a SCSI bus Alarm interface to the MDAL card for audible and visual frame

alarm processing.

The TDMs have another SCSI bus used to update hard drive data between the active and

standby processor TDMs.

Data storage on the TDM disk drive is divided into four partitions:

1. Backup Data

2. Current Data

3. Measurements

4. Generic Program Load.



The MDAL card is a multi-layered circuit card that provides the system with removable cartridge

data storage and alarm processing from the active MASP.

This card contains the audible alarm for the EAGLE 5 STP.It is a double slot card located in slot 1117.

The MDAL is shared by both MASPs for alarm processing and some database management

procedures.

The MDAL supports removable disk data storage.

A 2.3 gigabyte two-sided, removable disk (P/N 870-0773-04/05) is used with the MDAL for

backups, restores, and EAGLE 5 STP software upgrades.

Only side A is supported by Tekelec.

Insert disk with the A side facing to the right.

CAUTION! Do not leave the MO disk in the drive for an extended period of time. Exposureto heat may affect execution of backup/restore operations.



EAGLE Alarms are generated as the active MASP GPSM-II polls every card in the EAGLE.

The GPSM-II passes the alarm information to its associated TDM.

The TDM passes the alarm information to the MDAL via the Alarm Data SCSI Bus.

The MDAL distributes the visual alarm information as critical, major, and minor alarms to:

MDAL card LEDs

FAP of each affected EAGLE 5 STP frame

End panel with alarm lamps

Local maintenance center (LMC)

Remote maintenance center (RMC)

The MDAL has the EAGLE audible alarm to notify the user of the incoming alarm.

The MDAL also sends the audible alarm signal to the LMC and RMC connectors.

The MDAL also indicates by green LED which MASP, A or B is active.



Student Notes



The new E5-MAS is introduced at EAGLE 5 STP release 40.1 and consists of:

MASP A - E5-MASP comprised of E5-MCAP and E5-TDM card in slots 1113 and 1114

MASP B - E5-MASP comprised of E5-MCAP and E5-TDM card in slots 1115 and 1116

E5-MDAL - in slots 1117/1118

There is a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express Bus providing the connectionbetween the E5-MCAP and E5-TDM of each MASP.

One MASP is always active and the other is always in the standby mode.

If a problem occurs with the active MASP, the two MASPs will switch activity instantly with noadverse effect on MSU processing. Any users logged in at the time of the MASP swap will belogged out and will need to log back into the system. Unsolicited Alarm Message (UAM) 0176 willbe generated every time a MASP swap occurs. UAMs will be discussed in Module 7.

The EAGLE 5 STP is capable of operating fully with only one E5-MASP in the system.

At the time of a E5-MASP failure, or the removal of one of the E5-MASP cards, the EAGLEbegins a simplex timer that runs for approximately 3 minutes. During the timeout of the simplextimer, only rept-stat commands may be entered in the EAGLE 5 STP. If the removed or defectivecard is not replaced before the simplex timer times out, the EAGLE will switch to simplexoperation mode.

During the simplex operation mode, all operations of the EAGLE may be completely performed.The EAGLE will generate a message for every command entry indicating the EAGLE is in thesimplex operation mode as it completes the command.

After the defective or removed 5-MASP card is replaced, the system will revert back to theduplex.

operation mode within 3 minutes of the card replacement.

The E5-MASP require HIPR cards to be installed in the 1109 and 1110 slots.

There is a bidirectional inter-integrated circuit (IC) serial bus between the E5-OAM card and theE5-MDAL.This interface allows alarm update information to be sent to the E5-MDAL from theactive E5-OAM card.



The E5-MASP is a replacement for the legacy GPSM-II and TDM cards. It contains all of the

necessary logic to perform both application and communication processing of the data streams

provided by the EAGLE 5 STP.

The E5-MASP card is a single dual-card assembly of the E5-MCAP card mated to an E5-TDM

card.

The E5-MASP is a dual-card/dual-slot assembly occupying slots 1113/1114 and 1115/1116 of

the control shelf.

Interfacing between the E5-MCAP and E5-TDM on the E5-MASP card is through an onboard

PCI express bus.

The E5-Maintenance Communication Application Processor (E5-MCAP) card replaces the

GPSM-II at Release 40.1 and contains the following:

One latched USB port for use with removable flash media thumb drive to replace the

legacy Magneto-Optic (M.O.) removable Disk.

Used for database backups and restores

One flush mounted USB port for use with a plug-in credit card size flash drive.

Used for Software upgrades and disaster recovery

Note: Make sure that the USB Thumb drive is NOT inserted in the latched USB port on the E5-

MASP card when it is being installed into the EAGLE 5 STP. If the Thumb drive is inserted in the

latched USB port the card will NOT initialize. An alternate to this procedure is to ensure that SW-

1 is NOT locked.



E5-MASP Card Description (contd)

The E5-MASP card provides faceplate switch interfaces for the following devices:

SW-1 is used to notify system software that the removable drive is about to be

unplugged, or is plugged in and ready for use.

SW-2 is used to notify system software that the fixed SATA drive is about to be unplugged

or is plugged in and ready for use.

SW-3 is used to notify system software that the card is about to be removed and softwarewill begin to gracefully shut down the card.

The E5-Terminal Disk Module (E5-TDM) contains one fixed SATA solid state drive that is

removable and provides storage of system software, database configuration, and measurement

data.

The E5-TDM contains three major systems:

Terminal Processor system provides EAGLE 5 STP with 16 user-accessible terminals

System Clock system distributes Composite Clock and High Speed Master clock

throughout the EAGLE 5 STP.

SATA system distributes Shelf ID throughout the EAGLE 5 STP and disk storage for the

E5-MCAP.The E5-MASP provides thermal management and alarm provisions to protect the card from

damage due to overheating. It is designed to operate with natural convection cooling and does

not require a fan tray for cooling.



The following procedure is recommended for removing the removable USB thumb drive in theE5-MASP card:

1. Move the SW-1 from the Locked to the Unlocked position and wait for the LED toindicate a steady blue state.

When SW-1 is transitioned from locked to unlocked, the LED will flash blue toindicate the drive is unlocked and the shutdown process is incomplete.

Removal of the USB drive prior to the LED indicating steady Blue could resultin drive corruption.

2. When the LED indicates a steady blue state, the removable USB drive can be safelyremoved. The LED is off when the cartridge is fully ejected from the drive.

3. The USB thumb drive can now be safely removed from the drive.

4. Lift the Removable Drive Access door up, swing it past the detent position so that thedoor remains open on its own.

5. Grasp the pull tab of the slide and pull the slide out slowly until it stops ( about inch).

Caution: The full travel of the slide is less than an inch, do not try to pull the assembly toexpose the full length of the thumb drive as this is beyond the slides design.

6. The USB drive is disengaged and can be taken from the inject/eject assembly.



USB Removable Media Operation (contd)

The following procedure is recommended for inserting the removable USB thumb drive:

1. Insert a USB thumb drive into the removable drive door inject-eject assembly.

2. Grasp the pull tab of the slide and push the slide in slowly until it stops (about

inch).

3. Close the access door.

4. Move SW-1 from the unlocked to the LOCKED position.

1. When SW-1 is transitioned from unlocked to locked, the LED will flash blue to

indicate the drive is locked and in process of coming online.

5. When the LED turns off, the removable USB drive is ready for use.

There is only one E5-MDAL card in a control card set and it is shared between the two E5-MASP

cards.

The E5-MDAL is located in slots 1117 and 1118.

The E5-MDAL card performs the following functions:

Processes alarm requests

Critical, Major and Minor system alarms are provided for up to 6 EAGLE 5 STP

frames.

Provides the system audible alarm

Provides general purpose relays - provide software controlled general purpose outputs

for the system.

Provides fan control if fans are utilized in the EAGLE 5 STP on a per frame basis

The E5-MDAL does not contain a disk drive.



When the active E5-MCAP card detects a problem, it will send alarm information to the E5-TDM

that will send the alarm information to the I/O ports and to the E5-MDAL.

The E5-MDAL will distribute the alarm information to the LEDs on the E5-MDAL, to the RMC and

LMC connectors and also to the FAP of the frame (s) where the problem (s) were detected.

The E5-MDAL will also sound the EAGLE 5 STP audible alarm.

Student Notes



Communications Subsystem

Consists of the following two separate sets of buses

Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) bus

Inter-processor Message Transport (IMT)The Gigabit IMT bus will have one or both of the following bus card types:

High Speed Multiplexer (HMUX)

High Speed IMT Packet Router (HIPR)



Student Notes


109/384TK145v9.8 For Training Purposes Only

IMT Bus Card Descriptions

There are three different types of IMT bus cards used in the EAGLE 5 STP, the HMUX, HIPR andHIPR2 cards. Each card type supports a different bus topology. The three topologies are as follows:

HMUX Ring Topology

The High-Speed Multiplexer card (HMUX), supports requirements for more than 1500 links

850-0330-06 Control Shelf Backplane required.

HMUX cards are required to support the Sentinel / IAS Business Applications Platform, LargeSystems and EAGLE Software from release 30.0 and beyond.

HIPR Switch Topology

The High-Speed IMT Packet Router (HIPR) Module provides increased IMT bus bandwidth andindividual high-speed card/server links.

The HIPR enhances the IMT bus by introducing switched 125 Mbps interfaces to each slot within ashelf.

Traffic between cards on the same shelf will be switched directly to the destination slot and is nottransmitted to any other cards in the shelf.

HIPR cards are required in shelves equipped with HC-MIM or any E5 cards.

EAGLE 5 STP may contain a mix of HMUX and HIPR cards.

EAGLE shelves cannot contain a mix of HMUX and HIPR cards.

The HIPR card replaces the legacy low speed shelf ring with a switched design. This move from anintra-shelf ring topology to an inter-shelf switch topology gives a 16 to 1 transmission speedadvantage in that a single low speed ring circuit is being replaced with 16 individual switchedcircuits.

The inter-shelf ring connects the shelves together and HIPR cards acts as a gateway between theintra-shelf IMT bus, running at 125 Mbps and the inter-shelf ring operating at 1Gbps.

HIPR retains the high speed 1Gbps IMT Channel Ring as a way to ensure interoperability withHMUX equipped shelves.

HIPR2 Enhanced Switch Topology

The High-Speed IMT Packet Router 2(HIPR2) Module provides increased IMT bus bandwidth up to2.5 Gbps

The HIPR2 performs TVG proxy granting

This card also performs secondary functions such as Eagle system maintenance poll response,assembly and FPGA statistics gathering and reporting, and Eagle card and server diagnosticssupport (loop-backs).

Application Subsystem

Consists of application cards. Application cards are capable of communicating with all

other cards through redundant IMT buses. A Communications Processor on each

application card provides control of communications from card to card via the Gigabit IMT

buses.

Refer to the reference information in the Commands manual for a complete list of EAGLE

5 STP card types, software types, applications for each card type and the number allowed

in a configuration.



All application cards supporting all types of signaling links, SS7, ATM, E1, T1 and IP will

process MSUs in the same manner as depicted in this slide. The only difference is that IP

packets processed on SIGTRAN cards are first converted to an SS7 message and then

processed.

The MSU processing order is listed below:

1. Level 2 error checking is performed (except on IP links).

2. All MTP & partial SCCP Gateway Screening is performed if the GWS feature is activated.

3. Message Discrimination is performed on the DPC of the routing label:

4. If one of the EAGLE point codes (PC or CPC) is not the DPC on the routing label, the MSU

proceeds to the MTP routing table to determine how to route the MSU to its destination.

5. If one of the EAGLE point codes (PC or CPC) is the DPC, the MSU moves to the distribution

function to analyze the service indicator (SI) to determine the type of service the MSU is

requesting.

If the SI = 0,1 or 2, the Link Interface card will take the appropriate action based on the type

of network management message received.

If the SI = 3 (SCCP), the MSU proceeds to step 6.

6. SCCP Routing will send the MSU to the first available SCCP card in order to perform GTT

and route the MSU according to result of the GTT table information.



The Multi-Port LIM (MPL) used in EAGLE STP systems provides eight DS0 links transporting

SS7 traffic in a single EAGLE STP card slot. Link A and B are backward compatible with the

legacy two-port LIM card. Additional links A1-A3 and B1-B3 are DS0 interfaces only.

The MPL card improves the functionality of ANSI SS7 routing within the EAGLE by increasing

the number of SS7 links the EAGLE can handle for each LIM card. This allows the EAGLE to

interact in larger SS7 networks as well as decreasing the size of an EAGLE (for example,

previously 250 cards would be required to support 500 links, now only 63 cards are required).



The E1/T1 Multi-Channel Interface Module (E1/T1 MIM) provides a dual-port (A and B), framed,

channelized connection to a customer's network.

The interface to each link is mapped to the DS0 time-slots in the fractional E1 or T1 datastreams. Each E1/ T1 MIM supports a maximum of eight High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC)

channels that can be provisioned as using either E1 or T1 protocols and assigned to any unused

time-slot.

An E1 backplane extension is provided to connect other E1/T1 cards configured as LIMCH cards

in the EAGLE shelf to the E1/T1 data stream so that all channels can be mapped. This would

require four E1/T1 MIMs to map an entire E1 link (31 time slots) or three E1/T1 MIMs to map a

T1 link (24 time slots).

The E1/T1 MIM configured as a LIM-T1 will implement the ANSI T1 standard for 1.544 MHz data

transmission and configured as a LIM-E1 will implement the European (ITU) E1 standard for

2.048 MHz data transmission.

Each E1/T1 MIM port is capable of operation for E1 or T1 line rates but the interfaces will neverbe mixed on a single circuit card.

The E1/T1 MIM does not support clear-channel (no channels) operation.

Only E1/T1 Port A can be extended.



The High-Capacity Multichannel Interface Module (HC-MIM) is a dual slot card providing eight

trunk terminations processing up to 64 signaling links of configurable channelized E1 or T1

connectivity.

The eight E1/T1 links reside on backplane connectors, four links connect to Port A and four

links connect to Port B.

The HC-MIM may be configured to support two unchannelized High Speed Links (SE-HSL).

These links may be provisioned on link a and b on any 2 of the 8 HC-MIM card ports.

A maximum of 80 SE-HSL are permitted in the EAGLE 5 STP when using the HC-MIM card.

Feature keys are required to enable 80 high speed links on the HC-MIM card.

Total system signaling link capacity depends on other cards within the system and must not

exceed the provisioning limit of the EAGLE system.

Since the HCMIM has the capacity to process a full T1 or E1 on a single card, daisy chaining

or channel card operation is not needed.

Any shelves that contains HC-MIM cards must be equipped with HIPR IMT bus cards.

HC-MIM cards require fan tray assembly P/N 890-0001-04 for thermal management.

Any blank slots on shelves with HC-MIM cards must have air management cards P/N

870-1824-02.

Any frames with HC-MIM must have 60 amp power circuits.

HC-MIM cards should be placed in odd slots only.



The E5-E1/T1 is a single slot card providing up to eight E1 or T1 trunk terminations processing

up to 32 low speed signaling links.

The eight E1/T1 ports of the E5-E1/T1 are equally split between the A and B Port backplaneconnectors.

The E5-E1/T1 supports only SE-HSL signaling link on one of the eight ports and it must be

terminated on Port A.

A maximum of 80 SE-HSL are permitted in the EAGLE 5 STP when using the E5-E1/T1. Feature

keys are required to enable 80 high speed links on the E5-E1/T1 card.

Unlike the older E1/T1 MIM, the E5-E1/T1 does not require or support channel cards.

HIPR bus cards are required for any shelf where E5-E1/T1 cards are configured.



LIM E1-ATM provides one Asynchronous Transfer Mode over E1 Interface at 2.048 Mbps

The E1-ATM appliqu provides a new communications capability on the EAGLE, a High Speed

Link (HSL) using ATM over E1.

A maximum of 115 ATM HSL are permitted in the EAGLE 5 STP when using the E1-ATM..

The E1-ATM feature requires one E1 link Interface Module-ATM (E1-ATM) for each high speed

link terminated.

The E1-ATM supports a single ATM Virtual Channel Connection (VCC) at a line speed of 2.048

Mbps.

The E1-ATM operates similar to any other link interface module, except for the Link Fault

Sectionalization (LFS) feature, which is not a requirement for E1 links.



The E5-ATM card is a single slot card providing ATM over E1 or T1 connectivity for EAGLE 5STP control and extension shelves.

The E5-ATM provides the following functions:

SS7 link, ATM over T1 (ANSI) SS7 link, ATM over E1 (ITU)TVG based load sharing STP/LAN (SLAN)

Integrated Sentinel (e-route) Integrated Message Feeder

BICC support Thermal protection

Two ATM signaling links operating at 1 Erlang

Higher throughput than current HCAP-based LIMATM and LIME1ATM cardsAutomatic on/off CRC4 detection for E1 framing

A maximum of 180 E5-ATM cards may be provisioned on the EAGLE 5 STP.

A maximum of 180 ATM HSL are permitted on the EAGLE 5 STP using the E5-ATM. This may beaccomplished with 90 E5-ATM cards if 2 HSL per card are provisioned.

The E5-ATM card supports a new ATMHC GPL.

This card can be used to replace the LIM-ATM and E1-ATM cards.This card is a hot-swap compatible replacement for the HCAP-based LIMATM and LIME1ATMcards.

The LIM-ATM and the E1-ATM cards are still supported and can co-exist with the E5-ATM card inthe same node.

Requires HIPR cards in any shelves where these cards are configured.

Cooling fans are not required and the E5-ATM includes thermal management and alarmingprovisions to protect the card from damage if environmental conditions hinder thermal stability.

More thermal management details may be found in the EAGLE 5 STP Hardware Manual.



Single Slot Enhanced DCM (SSEDCM)

Supports the Signaling Transfer Point, Local Area Network (SLAN) function.

SIGTRAN protocol runs on the SSEDCM cards.When configured as an IPLIM, the DCM provides point to point SCTP connections
