An electrical shock, a fire or trouble can result. NEC PRACTICE Precautions ND-56981-327 (E) Issue 2, December 1999 PL 4 of 10 Alert category: Caution (continued) Precautions for Normal System Operation The Precautions for Normal System Operation provides precautions against possible troubles that can occur on the system. In order to maintain the normal operation of the system, you have to pay particular attention to each item of the precautions when performing operation and maintenance work SITE CONSIDERATION To maintain normal system operation, your site must always meet the requirements listed below. (1) Temperature and humidity CAUTION Safety instructions on handling cards: Wear thin cotton gloves when handling cards. Working with bare hands can lead to an injury or accident. While working with a drawer-type module pulled out form a frame, take care not to hit your head or back against the module. Such an accident can cause injury to you and/or damage to the system. Handle the card being tested, the test instrument, cables, and all other components properly in accordance with the instructions given in the relevant manuals. Safety instructions on high voltage and high current: Persons other than the maintenance personnel must not touch the direct current power distribution board (DC-PDB). The DC-PDB involves a high voltage and high current. Touching it can lead to an electrical shock or accident. Make sure that the switching system contains components with high voltage or current. An inadvertent contact with any of these components can cause injury, death, and/or damage to the system. Be sure to provide grounding where required. A failure to do so can lead to a system failure or electrical shock at the time of lightening. When measuring voltage or current, take adequate insulating measures, such as covering or winding the superfluous parts of the measuring terminal and tools with insulating tape. Allowing the measuring terminal to touch another terminal or a short-circuit caused by a tool can lead to an electrical shock or accident. Operate the test equipment and the call simulation equipment (CSE) on the specified voltage (100 or 200 V system). Operating them on an inadequate voltage can cause a fire. NEC PRACTICE ND-56981-327 (E) Precautions Issue 2, December 1999 PL 5 of 10 (2) Dust To prevent a short circuit due to dust buildup, make sure that the site is not a dusty place. (3) Vibration Since the system components are precision-engineered equipment and devices, make sure that the site is not subject to vibration.

SUMMARY When an exchange opens, all office data are prepared as parts of software files to fulfill initial office conditions such as numbering plan, tariff table, the number of line/trunk/equipment and location or attribute. However, as the office conditions change, along with events such as system expansion, trunk/line addition or numbering change, associated office data must also be changed to fulfill new conditions. Therefore maintenance personnel is required to set office data every time when office conditions change. This office data setting is called office data change. 2. TRIGGERS OF OFFICE DATA CHANGE Triggers for office data change are classified according to the kind of the changes of office conditions. Typical triggers for office data change as follows: (1) The associated office newly opens or closes Registration and deletion of the name of the associated office Registration and deletion of signaling group New establishment and deletion of signaling link Registration and deletion of signaling route Registration and deletion of route name New establishment and deletion of speech trunk Setup and change of route selection order (2) Trunks are added to or removed from the office New establishment and deletion of speech trunks (3) Signaling links are added to or deleted from the existing No.7 signaling line network Registration of signaling link group Registration of signaling route New establishment and deletion of signaling link NEC PRACTICE Office Data Change and Management INT-040-1300-10 (E) Issue 4, June 1998 INT-040-1300 2 of 4 (4) Routing is changed Setup and change of route selection order Routing method change (e.g., to route sharing) (5) Hardware units are added or removed Addition and removal of various types of hardware units 3. SYSTEM OPEARTION ALONG OFFICE DATA CHANGE The function of office data change involves addition, deletion, and change of office data without interruption of the switching service. The following process describes how the office data change should be performed. 3.1 Operation Stages for Office Data Change By using icons, office data change is carried out between operation terminal and switching system. The process consists of the following stages: (1) The current office data files are stored in Main Memory (MM) of Call Processor (CLP), Operation and Maintenance Processor (OMP) or DISK (DK). (2) Maintenance personnel enters new office data using office data icon. (3) New data, except translator data and charge data, are directly overwritten to current data. (4) When translator data and charge data change, new data (changed data) are stored in test area of MM so that the new data is tested. If the result is successful, the maintenance personnel changes over the current data to the new data. If system restart of PH1 (or higher level) occurs, the newly changed office data files in MM will be lost, and the system resumes its operation with backup files in the DK. Fig. 1 shows the structure of the office data change.

OFFICE DATA MANAGEMENT FUNCTION This switching system provides GUI operation with maintenance personnel. Table 1 shows office data management function and icon operations. 5. NOTICE FOR OFFICE DATA CHANGE The data exchanging process may be seriously affected if an entry error occurs during the work. To prevent this, it is necessary to understand the basic flow of operations and remember the following remarks: Prepare Magnetic Tape (MT) to save backup data during the work. The latest current data should be saved in MT before changing office data. After the office data is changed, create a backup data apart from the backup data prepared during the work. Office data change should be performed during the lowest traffic time. Table 1 Office Data Management Function FUNCTION DESCRIPTION Office Data Change Adds, changes, or deletes office data. The change functions are: Create, Delete, Modify, Block, Unblock, In Service, Out of Service, etc. Error Message Displays an error message when an illegal operation has been done. From the message, maintenance personnel decide how to deal with the error. Office Data Test Verifies that running office data or changed office data is correct. Display Displays current office data and new data using View operation in the window.

SUMMARY Changes in network configuration and service provision raise the need for changing office data at each switching office existing in the network. Even changes in own office may require the changing office data. The procedures to change office data differ and involve different types of office data, depending on the purpose of the change. The terms, task and sub-task, used in this manual, represent the procedures to achieve a specific purpose. The task refers to the procedures fundamental to the switching office, addition of an outgoing route, for instance. The tasks, at some steps of their procedures, provide choices of optional procedures. The sub-task refers to those optional procedures. Practical implementation of office data change is often a combination of tasks and sub-tasks. This module gives a list of tasks/sub-tasks to perform at the switching office. In this module, tasks/sub- tasks are listed by category, with reference to the Procedure (PRC) module where step-by-step procedures are explained. 2.

SUMMARY When an network plan changes, an office may need reform of routing: Add direct routes to a destination Only transit routes can exist between an office and a destination. As a result of the reform, traffic to the destination is routed via direct routes. This reform comprises of addition of Outgoing (OG) and Incoming (IC) routes. Delete direct routes to a destination Direct routes can exist between an office and a destination. As a result of the reform, traffic to the destination is routed via transit routes. This reform comprises of deletion of OG and IC routes. Change route selection This reform comprises of addition/deletion of alternative routes, change of route selection order, or diversion of traffic to other route indexes. This module provides step-by-step procedures for adding direct routes to an existing destination. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show the examples. Procedures for other reforms are provided in PRC-040-2150 Delete Direct Routes to Existing Destination, and PRC-040-2160 Change Route Selection.

SUMMARY According to the change of network plan, an office may also need to change routing data as follows: Add direct routes to a destination Outgoing (OG) and Incoming (IC) routes are to be added so that calls to the destination can be routed via direct routes. Delete direct routes to a destination The OG and IC routes are to be deleted so that calls to the destination can be routed via transit routes. Change route selection Alternate routes are to be added/deleted, route selection order is to be changed, or calls are to be diverted to other routes. This module provides step-by-step procedures for some practical cases of changing route selection. Figs. 1 to 4 show examples. Procedures for other changes relating routing are provided in PRC-040-2140 Add Direct Routes to Existing Destination, and PRC-040-2150 Delete Direct Routes to Existing Destination.

SUMMARY When a signaling node opens in the network of Common Channel Signaling No.7 (CCS7), direct connections and transmit messages should be set directly to the signaling node. For an adjacent node, the messages must be transmitted via signaling transfer points. Note: The signaling nodes that have direct connections are called adjacent nodes, and those without direct connections are called non-adjacent nodes. Connections with adjacent nodes are set with the following data: (1) Own node data: New node name, network indicator and point code. (2) Signaling link data: Signaling links and link groups are within the scope. Connections among signalling nodes are physically the numbers of signaling links. Those signaling links that have the same link attributes are regarded as a signaling group. (3) Signaling route data: Signaling routes are transmission paths which is set over signaling links for sending messages to their destinations. When the destination is an adjacent node, direct signaling routes are to be set. This task provides step-by-step procedures for setting up connections with an adjacent node. If the destination is a non-adjacent node, refer to PRC-040-2600, Non-Adjacent Node Opens.
