Module 3 Exercise 2
Change & View Exercise

In this exercise you will correct any errors in your task list, view your trunk group and change a trunk group parameter. 1. Use the GSX Navigator and SHOW commands to answer the following questions. a. Find your trunk group and highlight it. What is the default command associated with the trunk group? _________________________ b. What is the administrative state of your trunk group? __________________________ c. The SHOW Status command shows if the trunk group is in service or out of service. What is the operational mode of your trunk group?
__________________________________ d. Expand your trunk group to display all levels of the hierarchy. Highlight the B Channels on your E1. The Show ISDN B Channel Service Admin command shows how the B channels were configured. It displays the call direction, associated E1 channels and if each channel is enabled or disabled. What similar command would you issue to show that the B-channels are idle, in busy or out busy? _________________________________ 2. Select your trunk group and issue the Disable ISDN PRI Trunk Group Hierarchy command. Examine each level to see the administrative state and operational mode. 3. Select your trunk group and issue the Enable ISDN PRI Trunk Group Hierarchy command.

Module 3 Exercise 2

4. Select your trunk group and issue the Delete ISDN PRI Hierarchy command. Select the red and blue arrows to force the GSX Navigator to re-discover its configuration. Then return to the Task Configurator window and run your task list. 5. Return to the GSX Navigator window and what command would you issue to find the call direction supported by the B-channels? Issue that command and write down the direction. ___________________________________ 6. If the B-channel direction is not twoway, there has been a provisioning mistake and it must be corrected. In order for you to change a parameter at any level of the PRI hierarchy, the operational mode must be out of service and the administrative state must be disabled. One way is to use the Disable Hierarchy command and the other way is to use the GSX Navigator commands. We will use the second method. 7. Follow the steps to change the direction of the B channels using the GSX Navigator. a. Highlight the B Channel level of your PRI b. Select the Configure Mode Action command to force the 30 (1-15, 1730) B channels out of service. c. Select the Configure State command to disable the 30 B (1-15, 17-30) channels. d. Next you must take the D channel out of service. To do this you must highlight the service level of your trunk group. e. Select the Configure... command and take the Primary D Channel Mode out of service. f. Next you must change the interface state to disabled on your PRI. g. Now the direction parameter of the 30 B channels can be changed to twoway. Highlight the B Channels level and select the Configure command. Change the direction to twoway but do not change anything else.
