There are 4 types of frames:
Control Frame (CF) always present, named CF-00
Extension Frame (EF) optional, up to 5 (fromEF-00 to EF-04)
Miscellaneous Frame (MF)
General Purpose Frame (GPF)
CF & EF may contain up to 3 shelves
Frames & Shelves (1/8)

Control Frame (CF-00):
1st shelf is always equipped: it is the Control Shelf (CS)
2nd and 3rd shelves are optional as Extension Shelves (ES)
Extension Frames (EF-00 to EF-04):
They contain Extension Shelves (ES), up to 3

Shelf/card numbering:
they are always composed by 4 chars:
1st number is frame (1=CF-00, 2=EF-00, 3=EF-01...)
2nd number is shelf (1=top, 2=middle, 3=bottom)
3rd/4th numbers are shelf or card (00=shelf, 01=1st card fromleft,
02=2nd card fromleft, etc. - Up to 18 cards)
E.g.: 1203 = CF-00, middle shelf, 3rd board (fromleft)
Boards xx09 and xx10 are smaller and lay in the same slot, xx09 on
top of xx10

Cards can exist in 3 different
formats:
Double Slot cards must
always be configured in ODD
locations
E.g.: 1103 card fits into
1103 and 1104 locations, it
cannot be configured onto
location 1104
Double Slot (they fit in 2
consecutive slot locations)
Single Slot (they fit in a single
slot location)
IMT BUS cards (2 cards fit in
1 single slot location)
12
It contains the Maintenance & Administration Subsystem(MAS)
modules, in fixed slots.
MAS is composed by two MAS Processors (MASP A & B), and one
Maintenance Disk & AlarmCard (MDAL).
Each MASP is composed by:
General Purpose Service Module (GPSM-II) card in slot 1113 (for
MASP A) and 1115 (for MASP B)
Terminal Disk Module (TDM) in slot 1114 (for MASP A) and 1116
(for MASP BB)
MDAL is a double slot card located in slots 1117 & 1118. It is a
single card, not duplicated.
Other slots (except 1109 and 1110) are for application cards

Slots xx09 and xx10, for all the shelves, are reserved for High
Speed Multiplexer Cards (HMUX). These cards provide two buses
(IMT) to interconnect all the shelves
17
16 MMI (Man Machine Interface) ports for terminal interfaces
2 ports for external timing (synchronization)
2 ports for each possible application card

Power distribution
27
Each frame has a FAP on top. Each FAP is composed by:
2 Diode Boards that provide two power buses to the frame
1 J umper Board that takes care of a power bus when one power
source is unavailable (in this case power is taken by the other
source)
1 AlarmBoard
Fuses

EAGLE STP has 3 subsystems:
Maintenance & Administration (MAS)
Communication
Application
Subsystems
30
MAS is MASP A + MASP B + MDAL
MASP is GPSM-II + TDM
In short:
GPSM-II is the processor
TDMis the disk
MDAL is the backup unit (via magnetic-optical disk)
Maintenance & Administration Subsystem (1/2)
31
During boot, data is transferred fromTDM to GPSM-II and then to all
the application cards via IMT buses.
Maintenance & Administration Subsystem (2/2)
After that, MAS subsystem crashes are no traffic affecting
32
Each GPSM-II is connected to its own TDMvia a SCSI Extended
Bus Interface (EBI)
GPSM-II is the board that connects MAS with Communication
Subsystem(IMT buses)
GPSM-II collects measurements & alarmreports

Terminal interfaces
Clock distribution
TDMs are connected each other and to MDAL via SCSI bus

34
Removable disk data storage
Alarmprocessing
If MDAL is removed no audible/visible alarmis reported
Single card shared by both MASPs
Removable disk data storage
Uses 2.3 gigabytes two-sided, removable disk
Only side A is supported
Insert with disk side A facing right
MDAL
35
Provides Interprocessors Message Transport (IMT) buses.
There are 2 IMT buses, composed by 2 cards in every shelf,
positions xx09 and xx10.
All cards in slots xx09 belong to BUS A.
All cards in slots xx10 belong to BUS B.
If both IMT buses are broken, total outage
Intershelf IMT capacity: 1Gbps
Shelf ring capacity (max 16 shelf rings): 125 Mbps
Shelf ring capacity with HIPR (new HMUX High-speed IMT Packet
Router): 1 Gbps
Communication Subsystem (1/2)
36
Communication Subsystem (2/2)
37
Composed by Link Interface Modules (LIMs) and Memory
(Database) Modules
LIMs are ATM, E1, T1, etc.
Memory Modules contain database (e.g. GTT data, GWS data,
etc.)
Application Subsystem
38
With HC-MIM, HIPR is required
EAGLE capacity is max. 1500 links (*)

MB)
Capable of 850 GTT per second. If more translations are required,
other cards are needed

41
This is the evolved TSM and supports VSCCP application, that is
GTT and GWS plus:
G-Port: GSM portable numbering plan
G-Flex: GSM flexible numbering plan

performed. With other functions: 850 GTT/s
Max 25 DSM cards per EAGLE (*)
Database Services Module (DSM) (2/2)
Note:
more cards means more speed and not more capacity,
as the database is replicated in every card
43
E5-SM4G
The E5-SM4G is a Database Service Module (DSM) designed to operate
at high capacity. The E5-SM4G is a double-slot EAGLE card that
provides 3.1 GB of application processor memory.
The E5-SM4G provides the following for the EAGLE system:
Support for the VSCCP features
Can interoperate with DSMs at an
operating capacity of 1700 transactions
per second (TPS).
Support for the 150K TPS GTT and 75K TPS G-Port features
Can replace a DSM in the control or extension
frame without requiring additional provisioning.

That is, IPGWI cannot connect an STP
EAGLE supports max. 100 IPLIMIs and max. 64 IPGWIs (*)

E5-ENET (1/2)
The E5-ENET card is a single slot card providing one or more Ethernet
interfaces. The E5-ENET card has the following requirements and
dependencies:
The E5-ENET has 2 physical 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports.
The E5-ENET supports protocols as identified below:
For IPLIMI application: SCTP, M2PA
For IPGWI application: SCTP, M3UA, SUA
NOTE: The E5-ENET is provisionable for IPLIMx or IPGWx, but does
not support both functions on a single card simultaneously.

Every single user has been given access rights to different
command classes. For example, rtrv-secu-user:
USER I D AGE PAGE UOUT REV LI NK SA SYS PU DB DBG
User 1 362 0 0 NO YES YES YES YES YES YES
USER I D AGE PAGE UOUT REV LI NK SA SYS PU DB DBG
User 2 362 0 0 NO NO NO YES NO YES NO
53
Commands are composed by Keywords and Parameters.
Command syntax (1/2)
Keywords
Identify the principal action to be performed by the system
Consist of one to three words, separated by a hyphen delimiter
Keywords examples:
login
chg-trm
rept-stat-db
54
Commands are composed by Keywords and Parameters.
Command syntax (2/2)
Parameters
Further define the command operation
Colon separates keyword from parameter
Colon is also the delimiter between parameters
Mandatory or optional
Complete command (Keyword+parameters) examples:
login:uid=eagle
chg-trm:trm=20:all=yes
rept-stat-db:display=all
55
A route is the definition of how to reach a point code via a linkset,
with an associated cost
It is possible to configure max. 5000 routes (*)
Max number of routes towards a destination is 6 (*)
It is possible to associate a cost to each route: if the cost is the
same for each route, theres load sharing, otherwise there are
preferential routes. In this case, other routes are involved only if
theres congestion on preferential routes
SS7 Provisioning - Notes
56
Active and standby disks (TDM) are mirrored via SCSI bus. Each
disk contains:
GPL (software)
Measurements
Current data
Backup data

57
Common operations concerning disks are:
Backup to fixed (copy Current to Backup)
Backup to removable (copy Current to Removable disk)
Repair (copy Current & Backup from active to standby)
Restore from fixed (copy Backup to Current)
Restore from removable (copy Removable disk to Current)
