change communication-interface processor-channels

Last Updated : Dec 09, 2021 |

Use change communication-interface processor-channels to assign each local processor channel to an interface link channel, and to define the information associated with each processor channel on an Ethernet link.

Syntax

change communication-interface processor-channels  [ schedule ]
schedule

Specify a start time for the command.

change communication-interface processor-channels field descriptions

Field

Description

Enable

y/n — processor channel is enabled/disabled.

Appl

Identifies the switch application type/adjunct connection used on this channel over a dedicated network. The application gateway is used for conversion between ISDN and TCP/IP. Other forms must be properly administered as well. Valid entries are:

  • audix — Voice Messaging

  • dcs — Distributed Communication System

  • fp-mwi — ISDN Feature Plus Message Waiting Indication. This channel passes message waiting light information for subscribers on the messaging system, from a messaging adjunct on a main switch for a phone on a satellite switch. The terminating location (far end) of this channel must be a Communication Manager system compatible with ISDN Feature Plus proprietary protocol.

  • gateway — Supports an X.25-connected AUDIX connected to an ISDN DCS network.

  • gtwy-tcp — Supports a TCP connected AUDIX connected to an ISDN DCS network.

  • mis — Management Information System, otherwise known as CMS (Communication Management System)

  • qsig-mwi — QSIG Message Waiting Indication. Used with a QSIG-based interface to a messaging system, this channel passes message waiting light information for subscribers on the messaging system.

All msa entries refer to an obsolete product. An error message appears if an msa value is entered: msaamwl, msaclk, msahlwc, msallwc, msamcs.

Gtwy To

Identifies which processor channel the given processor channel is serving as a gateway to. Valid entries are a number between 1-(maximum number of processor channels), or blank.

Mode

Identifies whether the IP session is passive (client) or active (server). This field must be blank if the interface link is processor. This field cannot be blank if the type of interface link is ethernet or ppp. Valid entries are c (client), s (server), or blank.

Interface Link

Identifies the physical link carrying this processor (virtual) channel. Links are numbered 1 through 254 or p for processor.

Interface Chan

For TCP/IP, interface channel numbers are in the range 5000-64500. The value 5001 is set for CMS and 5003 is set for DCS.

Destination Node

Identifies the switch or adjunct at the far end of this link. Enter an adjunct name, switch name, far-end IP address, node ID, or leave blank for services local to this switch. For ppp connections, match the Destination Node Name on the ppp Data Module screen.

Destination Port

Identifies the port number of the destination. The number 0 means any port can be used. Valid entries are 0, 5000-64500.

Session Local

The Local and Remote Session numbers can be any value between 1 and 256 (si model) or 384 (r model), but they must be consistent between endpoints. For each connection, the Local Session number on this switch must equal the Remote Session number on the remote switch and vice versa. It is allowed, and sometimes convenient, to use the same number for the Local and Remote Session numbers for two or more connections.

Session Remote

Mach ID

Destination switch ID identified on the dial plan of the destination switch.
