nms command

The commands nms assign, nms change, nms display, and nms unassign let you administer digital protocols on the NMS telephony cards.

Description

The following table describes the arguments for these commands:

Argument

Description

Comments

card

A number that identifies a telephony card

�

protocol

The digital protocol used on the card

Options include: prit1 (ISDN-PRI T1), prie1 (ISDN-PRI E1), loopt1 (Loop Start T1), loope1 (Loop Start E1), and winkt1 (Wink Start T1)

frametype

The frame format

�

clktrunk

The trunk that the card uses to set its internal clock

�

clkfallback

The trunk that the system uses to set its internal clock if the timing source on clktrunk stops working

At least 2 trunks must be connected to the card, with one being the clktrunk. The card uses the clktrunk source again when that source starts working.

idlecode

See idle code

�

isdntype

The supplier of the ISDN service

�

fax

Whether or not fax is enabled

�

dchannel1

Whether or not a data channel is available on Trunk 1

�

dchannel2

Whether or not a data channel is available on Trunk 2

�

country

Which country the system is in

�

The nms assign command creates a configuration file, which is created by copying default parameters for the specified protocol to the configuration file, except for any parameters that have been entered on the command line. Any command-line parameters are copied to the configuration file. The nms assign command exits with a usage error if an assign is attempted for a card that already has a configuration file. If the card does not exist, the command exits with a usage error. This command supports only two trunks (a dual card).

The nms change command changes configuration file parameters for the card. The protocol associated with the change command is determined from the existing configuration file for that card. If the configuration file does not exist, the change command exits with a usage error.

Note:
The nms assign and nms change commands issue an error message if you enter y for dchannel1 or dchannel2 when using the protocol prie1, since NFAS is not supported for the prie1 protocol.

The nms display command, with a card parameter, displays the protocol and all of the administerable fields for that protocol for the card.

The nms unassign command deletes the configuration file, and the backup configuration file, if any, for the specified card. (The backup configuration file, that adds .bak to the configuration file name, is created if one or more nms change commands are executed for the card after it has been assigned.)

The nms display assignments command displays the cards and associated protocols for every card that has a configuration file.

Files

The following file is associated with the nms command:

/vs/data/NMS_Bx.cfg (where x is the card number)
