Setting Node Parameters
Normally, system-wide parameters are set during installation.
To change node parameters, follow these steps:
Step 1 Configure the system rack number, node name, node number, and DS1 type using the chndinf
command.
Step 2 Set the system date, time, or timezone, using the chdate and chtimezn commands.
Changing the Interface Line Type
Use this command to configure the chassis for T1 or E1 lines - you can’t mix T1 and E1 lines on a single
chassis. Before switching from T1 to E1, verify the following conditions:
• The chassis has no BSCs installed
• The database contains no BSC configuration information
• The NSCs have no DS1 lines configured
When switching from E1 to T1, make sure there are no E1 lines configured.
To change the line type to DS1 or E1, use the chsyslnmd command. The chassis automatically resets
and restarts with the selected line type.
Warning Changing DS1 line type interrupts service. Perform this operation during light traffic
periods or in a pre-arranged maintenance window.
Changing the Gateway Control Protocol
To change the protocol to MGCP or IPDC, use the chprotocol command. The chassis automatically
resets and restarts with the selected protocol.
Warning Changing the gateway protocol interrupts service. Perform this operation during light
traffic periods or in a pre-arranged maintenance window.
