| Re-Establishing an AFT Connection | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ****Command Strings will be in bold type**** | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� PCOCC is billing format for the DMS 250 side | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� PCAMA is billing format for the DMS 100 side | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ����������� Billing is performed thru an AFT process implemented over an Ethernet connection by way of EIU's 25 and | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Billing over Ethernet is not supported by Northern Telecom at this time and their preferred method of billing is over the X.25 protocol. The procedure below is the only way known to resolve billing difficulties due to port or connection problems on the switch side | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1. quit all; netman; aft; rasl; | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. disp tcp;�� look for port 7530 for AMA billing or 7529 for OCC billing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. Look under the far right column and ensure that a TASKP process is running for the above ports. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4. If there is not a TASKP or the port is not present then.... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5.raslstop pcama/pcocc;depending on which port is missing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6. table gasinfo; format pack; list all; cut and paste the resultant output to Notepad. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7. del pcama/pcocc; delete one or both depending on the situation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8. table raslappl; format pack; list all; Once again cut and paste the results. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9. del pcama/pcocc; delete one or both depending on the situation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10.add xxxxx;� xxxx = the tuple that was deleted from step 9, repeat for all deleted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11.quit; you should now be back at Table GASINFO | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12.add yyyy;� yyyy = the tuple that was deleted from step 7, repeat for all deleted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 13.quit all; netman; aft; rasl; | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 14.raslstart pcama/pcocc; depending on which port was just added. Repeat for all that was added. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 15.startaft pcama/pcocc; depending on which port was just added. Repeat for all that was added. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 16.Repeat step 2 and 3. It is important to note that in some cases it has taken over 4 hours for the TASKP process to rebuild the port, so patience is warranted for this step. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17.If, after a reasonable amount of time, the port is not rebuilt or the BMP server cannot establish a connection then continue to step 18. These following steps can result in all Ethernet connections to the switch being terminated resulting in compounding port and data corruption. Please be attentive while performing the following. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 18.quit all; table ipnetwrk; format pack; list all; this will show the primary EIU for the Ethernet interface. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 19.quit all;remlogin eiu x; x = the EIU from Table ipnetwrk. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 20.netman;disp tcp; disp udp; remlogout eiu x; ensure that the BOOTP is present in 1 or both * NO TCP ENDPOINTS may be the result for the TCP query and does not present a problem if present on the UDP query. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 21.If the BOOTP is not present then the EIU must be busied and returned to service. It is advisable to have a network technician close at hand to assist with network complications due to the following**** | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| **** It is important to note that since the portion of the network the switch is connected to runs DHCP; which is a route discovery method that is dynamic in nature. More simply, this means that the network has the capability to recognize new connections and assign IP addresses without manual assistance. The DMS switch uses RIP 1 route discovery. RIP 1 and DHCP are, for the most part, incompatible protocols and therefore present inherent complications. We have attempted to extend the switch to private branch of the network and have assigned static IP addresses and only broadcast them out to a certain distance on the network. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
