Display of physical port locations

Last Updated : Sep 08, 2012 |

Physical port network trunk locations that terminate on the G650 gateway are represented by a cabinet, carrier, slot and circuit format. For example a location can be 1, A, 1, 22. This equipment location will show as 01A01022 on CMS.

Port IDs for physical circuit-switched trunks that terminate on an H.248 Media Gateway such as the G700 or G450, are displayed in a different format than that used for normal port network equipment locations such as the G650. This difference is also reflected in the way those port IDs are listed in the reporting adjunct.

The following table compares the standard trunk equipment location format for port network port IDs to the H.248 Media Gateways format.

Regular port network trunk equipment location format like the G650

Media Gateway-terminated trunk equipment location format

bbXssccc

where:

bb = cabinet (1-64)

X = carrier (A-E)

SS = slot (1-25)

CCC = circuit (1-256)

gggVscc

where:

ggg = gateway (replaces cabinet) (1-250)

V = indicates H.248 media gateway (replaces carrier)

s = slot (1-4)

cc = circuit (1-32)

In reports, media gateway-terminated trunk equipment locations are displayed in a slightly different format than that used for port network gateways.

Depending on the reporting adjunct version, the trunk equipment location is shown in a fixed 8-character or 9-character format according to the following rules:

Gateway number: The gateway number will show as either 2-digits (the leading digit shown in the communication server display is dropped by CMS) or 3 digits. This variation in the gateway number format is the result of the following factors:

  • The numerical designation assigned to a gateway can be any number from 1 to 250, but earlier Avaya communication server releases only supported up to 99.

  • R3V11 CMS and CMS Supervisor do not provide a third-digit space for the gateway numbers.

Therefore, for R3V11 installations, when the gateway numbers that are greater than 99, the leading (hundred) digit of the gateway number is shown as the leading (tens) digit in the slot number and the following rules apply to display of slot numbers for H.248 Media Gateway-terminated trunk equipment on R3V11 versions of CMS and CMS Supervisor:

  • For gateways 1-99, slot numbers range from 01 to 04.

  • For gateways 100-199, slot numbers range from 11 to 14.

  • For gateways 200-250, slot numbers range from 21 to 24.

Carrier number: The carrier number shows as the letter V followed by two digits (01-04) for the slot number.

Circuit number: The circuit number shows as 3 digits (001-032).

The following table shows how H.248 Media Gateway-terminated trunk equipment location formats are listed on Avaya communication servers and reporting adjuncts.
