Solution 1942334.1 : How to Confirm if a Given Way (Rx or Tx) is not Handling Data for a Given Link Configured on SS7 PMF?

Applies to:

Oracle Communications Performance Intelligence Center (PIC) Software - Version 4.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

if it is necessary to confirm if a given way (Rx or Tx) is not handling data for a given link configured on SS7 PMF, this document provides the necessary steps.

Solution

Some onsite tests need to be done and for each case of the following scenarios, the occupancy of the impacted link (on both ways: Rx & Tx) needs to be checked on the PMF side and on the SLOR session (if existing):

Switch Rx and Tx cables on the PMF input, wait for some minutes and check the status of concerned links using the following way:
- As cfguser on the concerned PMF:
  $ linkDisp
- Query the SLOR session during the cables switch period.
  => Traffic should move to the opposite way on the PMF
Unplug both cables (Rx and Tx) from the PMF input, wait for some minutes and check the status of concerned links using the following way:
- As cfguser on the concerned PMF:
  $ linkDisp
- Query the SLOR session during the period cables were unplugged.
  => No traffic should be seen on both ways
Switch back Rx and Tx cables to its initial positions on the PMF input, wait for some minutes and check the status of concerned links using the following way:
- As cfguser on the concerned PMF:
  
  $ linkDisp
- Query the SLOR session during the cables switch period.
  => Traffic should move to the opposite way on the PMF and initial situation should be reestablished.
