The Q931 Primary Rate port, for the EPIB board, is labelled, within the Abilis CPX, by the acronym "EPQ931" and it is provided with the parameters described in this chapter.
The following example shows how to display parameters of sQ931 ports.
[14:24:47] ABILIS_CPX: D P PO:SQ931 PO:380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sQ931 LOG:DS lowpo:96 TYPE:USER NRTY1:15 DELAY1:30 DELAY2:5
To activate changes made on the parameters displayed by low case characters, it is needed to restart the system; on the contrary for activating changes made on "high case" parameters it is enough to execute the initialisation command INIT PO:.
| LOG: | Events logging activation and generation of alarm signals |
| DS | NO, D, S, A, L, T, ALL, +E |
Usually this parameter makes possible to activate/deactivate logging functionalities of meaningful events of the port as well as the detection and signalling of alarms in case of critical events.
The following table shows the available options and the related functionalities usable by the parameter:
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| D | Recording of the driver state changes and/or the meaningful events in Debug Log |
| S | Recording of the driver state changes and/or the meaningful events in the System Log |
| A | Periodic detection of possible alarms. The detected alarms can be displayed the command ALARM VIEW or by the analogous command available on the UTILITY of the LCD display on the front panel |
| L | On alarm detection, acoustic signal generation plus a message on the LCD display. This function depends on activation of alarms detection by the "A" option |
| T | Generation by the Agent SNMP of Abilis CPX of SNMP traps corresponding to any change of the driver state and/or occurring of meaningful events |
Beside the already described options the following values are also allowed:
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| NO | It means that all the logging functionalities, alarms detection and generation, above mentioned, are disabled. |
| ALL | It means that all the logging functionalities, alarms detection and generation, above mentioned, are enabled. |
| +E | This option added to one or more of the previous ones, extends its (their) set of meaningful events. The value "ALL+E" activates all the options and extends the set of meaningful events. The value "NO+E" is meaningless so it is ignored. |
Options can be combined together.
Some examples:
By using the characters "+" and "-" as prefix of one or more options is possible to add or delete one or more functionalities without setting from the scratch the value of the parameters.
Some examples:
The changes made on this parameter are immediately activated, without the need of initialization commands.
| LOWPO: | Identifier of the Abilis CPX lower level port |
| NONE | 1 - 999, NONE |
It sets the lower level port; it can only be an EPISDN or EBISDN port type.
The value "NONE" isolates the sQ931 port from the lower level ports.
| TYPE: | Port type |
| USER | USER, NETWORK |
This parameter sets how the port behaves during the connection establishment.
The port connected to the network is defined NETWORK port; the one connected to the user equipment USER port.
| NRTY1: | Number of retries (attempts) during phase n.1 |
| 15 | 1 - 255 |
It sets the number of retries during phase n.1.
| DELAY1: | Delay between two consecutive retries in phase n.1 |
| 30 | 15 - 255 (in seconds) |
It sets the delay between two consecutive retries in phase n.1
| DELAY2: | Delay between two consecutive retries in phase n.2 |
| 5 | 1 - 255 (in minutes) |
It sets the delay between two consecutive retries in phase n.2
How to check the state and statistics of the sQ931 ports through the command D S.
[12:26:04] ABILIS_CPX: D S PO:380 .
PO:380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
sQ931 CH: STATE: CG: [SCG:] CD: [SCD:]

*** All channels disconnected ***
-----------|---INPUT---|--OUTPUT---|-----------|---INPUT---|--OUTPUT---|
FAIL-CALL |0 |0 |SUCC-CALL |0 |0 |
TIME-CALL |0 |0 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extended statistics are also available for Q931 ports. Here is an example on how to check them using the command D SE:
[14:37:07] ABILIS_CPX: D SE PO:380
PO:380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
sQ931 --- Cleared 000:01:50:38 ago, on 23/06/2000 at 12:47:34 ----------------
-----------|---INPUT---|--OUTPUT---|-----------|---INPUT---|--OUTPUT---|
FAIL-CALL |0 |0 |SUCC-CALL |0 |0 |
TIME-CALL |0 |0 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information "Cleared DDD:HH:MM:SS ago, at DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS", referred by the extended statistics, shows the time interval elapsed from the last reset of statistics (by the format "days:hours:minutes:seconds") and date/time of its execution (by the format "day:month:year" and "hours:minutes:seconds").
| CH: | Identifier of the B channel |
| 1 - 31 |
Identifier of the sQ931 channel, whose state is not the 00-DISCONNECTED. If the channel state would not be 00-DISCONNECTED, the following message will be displayed "*** All channels disconnected ***".
| STATE: | Current state of the sQ931 channel |
| 01-CALLING, 02-DIALLING, 03-CALLING, 04-REM-ALERT, 06-CALLED, 07-LOC-ALERT, 08-CALLED, 09-CALLED, 0A-CONNECTED, 0B-DISCONNECTING, 0C-DISCONNECTING, 13-DISCONNECTING, 16-CALL-ABORT, 19-DIALLED, 3D-RESTARTING, 3E-RESTARTED, 63-CALLED |
The sQ931 port driver can be in one of the following states:
01-CALLING:
The driver has requested to open a connection on the B channel.
02-DIALLING:
The driver has requested to open a connection on the B channel.
03-CALLING:
The driver has requested to open a connection on the B channel.
04-REM-ALERT:
Connection has been accepted: the counter-part is in the ALERTING state.
06-CALLED:
The driver has received a request of connection on the B channel.
07-LOC-ALERT:
08-CALLED:
The driver has received a request of connection on the B channel.

0A-CONNECTED TO:

0A-CONNECTED FROM: Connection on the B channel is active owing to an incoming call.
0B-DISCONNECTING:
The driver is closing the connection.
0C-DISCONNECTING:
The driver is closing the connection.
13-DISCONNECTING:

16-CALL-ABORT:
19-DIALLED:
3D-RESTARTING:
The driver has requested the initialisation of the B channel.
3E-RESTARTED:
The driver has received a request to initialise the B channel.
63-CALLED:
The driver has received a request of connection on the B channel.
| CG: | Calling address |

| from 0 up to 16, digits: 0..9 |
It shows the called address.
