0x0A Activate Ethernet Port

Use this TLV to assign the active Ethernet Port on a VDAC-ONE card. The upper port is active by default. To activate the lower port, you must send this TLV. Note that Ethernet Link Redundancy is not supported on the SS7 Series 3 card.

Important! If you enable Ethernet Link Redundancy (TLV 0x09), the standby Ethernet Port is automatically activated upon failure of the active port.

This TLV also activates the Ethernet Interface of the Maxtrix Controller I/O as follows:

• Activate the Upper Port for Ethernet Interface B.

• Active the Lower Port for Ethernet Interface A.

Used in:
IP Address Configure message
IP Address Query message

Byte | Description
0 | Tag 0x0A Activate Ethernet Port
1 | Length 0x04
2 | Value[0] 0x00000000 Upper Port Active 0x00000001 Lower Port Active

Important! The two TLVs above (0x09 and 0x0A) are returned in the response to a successful IP Address Query message.
