EXS API and SwitchKit API message

Description

Service State Configure 0x000A

This message allows the host to bring an entity (a card, span, channel, range of channels, DSP SIMM, or SS7-controlled circuit) in and out of service. On the DSP Series 2 card, this message must use AIB 0x22 to take an individual DSP chip in and out of service.

A card is automatically brought into service when the system is powered up. The host does not have to bring a card into service unless it has previously taken the card out of service using this message.

DS3 Card

The DS3 framer is automatically brought into service when the DS3 card is brought into service. Once in service, DS3 status changes are reported to the host in the Alarm messages (0x00B9). If the DS3 circuit is not ready for operation, the host can disable DS3 alarms by placing the DS3 framer out of service. To do this, have the host send a Service State Configure message with the DS3 Offset AIB (0x32) and an action of 0x0F (Take Out of Service).

If the host does take the DS3 Framer Out of Service, it is the host’s responsibility to bring it back in service. If the host does not bring the DS3 Framer back in service, the CSP will send a NACK 0x005A (DS3 Out of Service) when it receives the Service State Configure message to Brings Span In Service.

The DS3 Offset AIB must always be 0.

LAPD Super Rate

For LAPD Super Rate, this message must address the first D channel (DS0). The other D channels in the Super Rate D channel do not need to be addressed in Service State Configure.

Virtual Cards

You cannot use Service State Configure to take virtual cards out-of-service.
