SHELF
Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise and Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX 4400
Shelf Address
First, set the parameters for the type of shelf (see shelf type attribute), then:
- 0 = main ACT (Alcatel-Lucent Crystal Technology) shelf for OmniPCX 4400
- 1...19 = peripheral ACT shelf for OmniPCX 4400
- 1...17 and 20 and above = MG and ACT shelf for OmniPCX Enterprise
(Note: 0, 18 are 19 are reserved), - 128..134 = 4630 shelf,
- 135..199 = SU shelf,
- 256..299 = 5200 (BCNC) Migration shelf,
- 300..329 = 5400 Migration shelf ,
- 330..359 = 4600 Migration shelf,
- 360..399 = 4300L Migration shelf,
Any number already used is rejected.
NOTE :
The SU shelf is used in certain countries. It is used to receive certain analog line interfaces, analog stations, digital dedicated stations 4302, 4304, 4321.

- 4600 4M
- Main 5400 L2
- Peripheral 5400 L2
- Media Gateway Small
- Media Gateway Medium
- Media Gateway Large
ACT Type
For an ACT shelf, select whether it is a main or peripheral shelf.
Stand By CPU
Unused
Signalling Mode
This attribute is used to choose the signaling mode between INT of the ACT shelves and IO2 connected to the main CPU following the signaling traffic (signaling and X25 in D):
- IT16 (position by default) is used to transfer the signal on the IT16 of the link between INTA and the main INTB: position if the traffic signaling is not important and if there is only one level of ACT shelf.
It is the only mode possible for boards INT1 and RT2.
- N64: for board INT2, enables you to use a 256kb/s channel to transfer the signaling between INT2A and the main INT2B.
Advantage: improves the transit time
Disadvantage: uses up 4 B channels
This mode must be used when there are 2 levels of ACT shelf
In this case the attribute "signaling channel size N64" must be at 4.
- IO2: for board INT2, used with the packet in D, enables you, using channel B, to have a direct link between the INT2B board and the main IO2 interface; the signaling channel, HDLC, is supported by the main IO2 instead of the INTA interface.
Advantage: improves the transit time, unburdens channel SIG1
Disadvantage: uses up the HDLC channels on the main IO2 interface
This mode must mainly be used when the packet traffic in D, in this shelf and the shelves which are connected to it, become significant.
The attribute "signaling channel size N64 " should be defined in this case to suit the intensity of the flow of signaling and of packets in D
Signalling Channel N64 Size
This attribute enables you to define the size of the channels between the INT of the ACT shelves for signaling with IO2 (see "signaling Mode" attribute):
- Without an object if it is IT16
- 4 if it is Nx64
- Between 1 and 4 if it is IO2.
Name
Name assigned to the shelf for memory.
Incidents Teleservice
This attribute concerns transmission of the incidents to the RMA (Remote Maintenance) to generate, where appropriate, a call to a maintenance centre.
YES: the incidents generated by this shelf are sent to the RMA.
Pari Number
- Pari 0 to 7:
This number corresponds to the PARI number used for the DECT boards of this shelf (see Multi-Pari in DECT).
- IBS Pari
This choice is used to declare that the DECT system is IBS on this shelf.
The IBS and RBS systems (Päri 0 to 7) cannot coexist on the same shelf, and must necessarily be installed on different ACT shelves.
Remote_Location
Attribute used for OmniVista 4760. It allows a remote ACT shelf to be localized in a 4400 topology.
YES: remote ACT shelf.
NO: normal ACT shelf.
Shelf role
This attribute specifies whether the MG shelf is a main shelf or an extension 1 or 2 shelf.
Main Shelf Address
This attribute specifies the address of the main MG shelf for extension 1 and 2 MG shelves.
Law
This attribute is used to code speech in the system.
There are two possible laws for coding; one for Europe (A law), and one for the USA (Mu law).
The appropriate law is selected via a menu:
- A law: Voice is coded in the PBX using the A law,
- Mu law: Voice is coded in the PBX using the Mu law,
- Default: Voice is coded in the PBX using the A law or the Mu law according to the value of the Rack law attribute in SYSTEM/OTHER PARAMETERS - SYSTEM.
Reference
Only used in the context of duplication.
This attribute is used to specify the call server authorizing management if an IP link goes down between CS's.
- When the IP link between the CPUs goes down, the main call server connected to the reference Media Gateway continues to authorize management (and broadcast).
- When the IP link between the CPUs is restored, the call server that is not connected to the reference Media Gateway is rebooted.
Virtual crystal
This attribute is used to indicate whether the ACT shelf is virtual or is actually present.
YES: The shelf is virtual
NO: The shelf is actually present
A virtual shelf is one that is not actually present, but that must be declared in order for the system to operate correctly (memory allocation).
OXE Media Server
This attribute sets the type of declared Media-Gateway:
- Yes: An OXE Media Server is declared.
- No: A physical Media-Gateway is declared.
