DTU CARD PROPERTIES

Use this procedure to edit AS4000 DA Modem Shelf DTU Card Properties. The site

view, shelf view, or an object list containing the shelf should be displayed at the start of

this procedure. See GSI-017 Selecting Views.

STEP PROCEDURE

1. Open the object list AS4000 DA DTU. (See DLP 025)

2. Select the card to be configured, click the right mouse button and from the drop menu

select AS4000 DA DTU Properties.

5. The Edit DTU Properties window is displayed. Enter the Radio List Management

values for the card into the boxes to optimise the performance of the system.

Max Net Entry Channels: On start-up the STs are made aware of the network and data

is downloaded into each ST. The larger the number of NET entry channels the shorter the

time to get the system operational. One channel per shelf within the system is always

configured to run net entry, but in addition, the user can configure additional potential net

entry channels. (Selected on the DTU properties in Sitespan). Each channel selected

here requires a full RW i.e. 160K of bandwidth, and therefore, if the RW is used for net

entry, it is removed in entirety from the available pool for traffic.

Free List: The free list allocates the free list at each traffic rate. (160k, 80k, 40k) The

way the list is divided depends on the ST population. If a channel is not available at a

required rate the next highest rate is selected.

Incoming Call Availability: Incoming call availability is calculated from the allocation

and distribution of channels across the free lists

FRU State: In Service makes the FRU available for system use.
