Signaling Linkset

Each Signaling Linkset object is a child of the Signaling Gateway object.

The Signaling Linkset object contains information about a set of links to an adjacent signaling point. There is a single linkset for each adjacent signaling point and each signaling linkset can include up to 16 signaling links. You should create a new linkset when a new adjacent signaling point is added. You must create a Signaling Destination object for the adjacent signaling point before you can create a Signaling Linkset object for that signaling point.

For initial configuration, set the following parameters:


Parameter

Access

Description
Linkset name Change Unique user-friendly name identifying the linkset. Specify a name of up to 30 characters. If a name is not specified, the EMS displays a default based on the route index and destination name.
Adjacent Signaling Gateway Change Signaling Destination at the far end of the linkset. Select from the displayed list of Signaling Destinations. Note that Signaling Destinations with Destination type set to Cluster are not displayed.
Linkset Timer Profile Change Signaling Linkset Timer Profile to associate with the local signaling point. Select from the displayed list of profiles. This field defaults to the default Signaling Linkset Timer Profile.
Target number of active links Change Desired number of links to be active at any time. Range: 0 - 16. The default is 16.
Run periodic signaling link test Change This field indicates whether the periodic signalling link test procedure of Recommendation Q.707 is applied to the linkset. Values:
  • True (default)
    All active links on the linkset send periodic link-test messages (at a frequency chosen by ITU Q.707 timer T2).
  • False
    Periodic link-test messages are not sent.
Signaling Link Attention Required alarms Read only The total number of Signaling Links associated with this Signaling Linkset that are in Attention Required state.
Signaling Link Attention Required alarm events Read only / Reset The total number of Attention Required alarms for all Signaling Links associated with this Signaling Linkset.
Summary child alarm state Read only Summarizes the alarm status for all children of this object. Values:
  • Clear
    No alarms are currently raised.
  • Attention Required
    Attention Required - one or more child objects are not operating normally, and need operator intervention.
  • Attend To Dependent
    Attention Required elsewhere - another object on which one or more child objects depend is not operating normally.
Requested status Read only Specifies whether an administrator has attempted to activate the Signaling Linkset. Values:
  • Active
    The object has been activated.
  • Inactive
    The object has not been activated or has been deactivated.
  • Disabled
    The object has been disabled.
Actual status Read only Specifies the current status of the Signaling Linkset. Values:
  • Active
    The object is active.
  • Going Active
    Activation is in progress.
  • Going Inactive
    Deactivation is in progress.
  • Inactive
    The object is inactive.
  • Disabled
    The object has been disabled.
  • Activation Failed
    The object is inactive because an activation attempt has failed.
  • Failed
    The object was active but has failed.
  • Quiescing
    The object is preparing for normal deactivation. It is operating normally but will not accept any new users.
  • Waiting For Parent
    The object cannot be used because its parent object is not yet active.
  • Parent Failed
    The object cannot be used because its parent object has failed.
