Signaling Route

Each Signaling Route object is a child of a Signaling Destination object.

The Signaling Route object contains information about a route available to reach a destination. Each route is defined by the local signaling point, the destination signaling point and the signaling point at the far end of the first hop of the route. There is a Signaling Route for each route to each destination. You may need to create a new Signaling Route when a new Signaling Linkset is created (i.e. when a new adjacent signaling point is added) or if a direct voice trunk to another telephone exchange is added. Note that you must create and activate the Signaling Linkset object for the first hop of the route before you can create the Signaling Route object.

For initial configuration, set the following parameters:


Parameter

Access

Description
Route name Change Unique user-friendly name identifying the route. Specify a name of up to 30 characters. If a name is not specified, the EMS displays a default based on the first hop linkset name.
First hop Linkset Create Linkset of the first hop of the route. This must not match the First hop Linkset that you select for any other route. Select from the displayed list of Linksets. The list does not include linksets that are disabled or are already in use for another route to the same destination.
Route priority Change Specifies the level of priority of the route. This must be a numeric value. Lower values correspond to higher priority routes. Note that all traffic will be sent over the highest priority route available. If two routes have an equal priority the traffic will be shared between the two routes.
Route priority mode Change Specifies whether the route priority values for other routes are changed if the route priority for this route is changed or this is a new route being added. Values:
  • Insert
    If a new route is added, any route that has a route priority value equal to or greater than the route priority value specified for the new route will have that route priority value incremented by one.
    If the route priority of a route is changed, the route priority values of other routes may be incremented or decremented by one so that the route priority values of the all the routes remain sequential. For example, if there are five routes with route priority values 0 - 4, and the route with value 3 changes to become 1, the routes with original values 1 and 2 change their route priority values to 2 and 3 respectively. The routes with values 0 and 4 do not change.
  • Equal
    The route priority values for other routes are not changed. Routes are allowed to have the same route priority value.
Alarm state Read only Specifies whether any alarms are currently raised for this object. Values:
  • Clear
    No alarms are currently raised.
  • Attention Required
    Attention Required - the object is not operating normally, and needs operator intervention.
  • Attend To Dependent
    Attention Required elsewhere - another object on which this object depends is not operating normally.
Alarm log correlator - Attention Required Read only Identifier of the log message for the event that caused the last Attention Required alarm state for this object. This field is reset when Attention Required alarm events is reset to zero.
Alarm log correlator - Attend To Dependent Read only Identifier of the log message for the event that caused the last Attend To Dependent alarm state for this object. This field is reset when Attend To Dependent alarm events is reset to zero.
Attention Required alarm events Read only / Reset Number of times (since the alarm count was reset) that this object's alarm state has gone to Attention Required.
Attend To Dependent alarm events Read only / Reset Number of times (since the alarm count was reset) that this object's alarm state has gone to Attend To Dependent.
Alarm state changed timestamp Read only The time at which the Alarm state last changed.
Alarm events reset timestamp Read only The last time at which either the Attention Required alarm events or the Attend To Dependent alarm events was reset to zero.
Requested status Read only Specifies whether an administrator has attempted to enable the Signaling Route. Values:
  • Enabled
    The object has been enabled.
  • Disabled
    The object has not been enabled or has been disabled.
Actual status Read only Specifies the current status of the Signaling Route. Values:
  • Enabled
    The object has been enabled.
  • Disabled
    The object has not been enabled or has been disabled.
