LAN and TSU

The aim of this module is to:

~ Present a methodology for the configuration of TSU,
~ Present the configuration of TSUs step by step,
~ Show how to monitor the state of the TSUs,

1- Preparing the configuration

1- Draw the map of the
platform:

System A

1

Key
Empty TSC slot
TSC E1 card

Hardware paths:
8/12/1/0
8/12/2/0
lanId 0

System B

2
1

lanId 1
lanId 1

lanId 0

MAC address of
L1: 00000000000B
L0: 00000000000A
TSU 0

TSC in TSU case

TSU 1

Slide: 2

OC2.0-Version 2.0

Before configuring the platform, you should draw a map representing the
different hardware elements and the connections between them.
Use the following naming conventions, as shown above:
port 2 on the system LAN card:
to the local TSU0,
LAN L0,
lanId 0

port 1 on the system LAN card:

to the remote TSU,
LAN L1,
lanId 1

OC2.0-Version 2.0

For TSC in system case, there is no TSU Mac address. It is replaced by an

hardware path.

2- Hardware Configuration

Run sam: menu

Slide: 4

OC2.0-Version 2.0

The hardware modification screen in sam allows to configure the LAN

connections and the TSUs.
Note: The LAN and TSU are fully configured after creation of the initial
configuration (hardware auto-discovery, see Platform Configuration). Thus,
you should use sams LAN and TSU configuration screens just for information
purposes. We recommend you not to change the information presented in those
screens.

3- LAN configuration

automatically filled

LAN and TSU

Slide: 5

OC2.0-Version 2.0

All fields of the LAN configuration screen are automatically filled in after the
initial configuration creation (refer to the platform configuration module). We
recommend that you do not change those values, so that the naming rules are
always respected.

4- TSU configuration

All fields are

automatically filled
in at hardware
auto-discovery

LAN and TSU

Slide: 6

OC2.0-Version 2.0

All fields of the TSU configuration screen are automatically filled in after the
initial configuration creation (refer to the platform configuration module). We
recommend that you do not change those values, so that the naming rules are
always respected.
Note : the mac address is the one of the LAN port in the TSU. This has nothing to
do with any host mac address.

Monitoring TSU hardware

SS7 Monitor, screen:
Monitor Hardware state

Status of DC48 power supply:

* : OK,
- : FAIL,
Status of each of 6 fans:
* : OK,
- : FAIL,
The possible states for TSU are:
ACTIVE,
DEGRADED,
NOT RESPONDING.

Slide: 7

OC2.0-Version 2.0

In order to check the state of the TSU, use the screen Monitoring hardware in
the SS7 Monitor. It displays the state of each TSU together with the contained
TSC.
Note that the stack must be started to launch the manager command:
ss7MgrStart
The state of the TSU is given for both the active and standby stack.
The possible states for a TSU are:
ACTIVE: all configured TSCs are running.
DEGRADED: At least one TSC card is failed.
NOT RESPONDING: the TSU is either powered off, unreachable (for instance
LAN unplugged) or booting.
The LEDs on the rear of the TSU also give useful monitoring information. Refer
to the Platform Validation and Troubleshooting Guide for more information
about monitoring TSCs, diagnosing problems and for information about the fan
and DC48 status.
