Command Line Interface (CLI)
This chapter describes the VISM Command Line Interface (CLI) that is used to configure, manage, and troubleshoot the VISM 2.0 card.
Command Line Features
Commands can be entered either through:
•
An alphanumeric terminal (or PC emulating an alphanumeric terminal) connected to the control port on the shelf's PXM card.
•
Entering Commands
The CLI is a DOS-like interface in which each command has a mnemonic followed by a string of parameters (some commands have no parameters, some have one, and some have several). Commands are entered by typing the mnemonic followed by the value of each parameter in order and ending with the Enter key. Spaces are used to separate the mnemonic and all the parameters.
An example command is the command to add an endpoint in VISM which can be used to defined one end of a connection. The command is Add Endpoint and its mnemonic is addendpt. This command has three parameters, namely, an endpoint number (to identify the endpoint from other endpoints), the ds1 line to be associated with the endpoint, and the ds0 channel within the ds1 line to be associated with the endpoint. The format of this command is:
addendpt <endpoint_num> <ds1_num> <ds0_num>
where
:
Thus, for example, to add an endpoint with number 10 which defines ds1 number 4 and ds0 channel number 3, the command is:
addendpt 10 4 3 (Enter)
Some commands require a parameter identifier to be entered before the parameter value. The clear alarm is an example of such a command. The format of this command is:
clralm -ds1 <LineNum>
The parameter is LineNum but requires the identifier "-ds1" to be entered also. Thus to clear alarms on line 4, the command is:
clralm -ds1 4This chapter describes each command is detail including parameter identifiers where required.
General Command Items
Command Sequences
Many operations require several commands to be executed in a prescribed sequence. For example, configuring a line (such as addccs) requires the addln (addline) command to be executed before a configuration can take place. Likewise, the same principle applies when deleting an item in which the items are deleted in the reverse order in which they were added. Using the same example, if a line has CCS added through the addccs command, it must first be deleted (delccs) before the line can be deleted.
In most cases, if a user attempts to execute a command in the wrong sequence, a message indicating such is displayed.
Mandatory/Optional Commands
There are certain mandatory commands that must be executed before the VISM card is fully operational. The remaining commands are optional and, for these commands, VISM will assume default values for their parameters unless they are executed with other specific parameter values.
The mandatory commands (in order of execution) are shown in Table 7-1.
Logging In
Before commands can be entered, the user must first log onto the system. This process requires a valid user name and password that are known to the MGX 8850 (see the MGX 8850 Command Reference for details)
When a connection is made, either serial or through Telnet, the logging in process consists of:
1.
2.
3.
Login: ciscopassword:card number [7]:If the slot number of the VISM card to be configured is known, enter that number and press the Enter key.
If the VISM slot number is not known, enter the number 7 or 8 to logon to the active PXM card, which is in either slot 7 or 8, and then enter the dspcds (display cards) command. This displays the card installed in each slot in the shelf as shown below.

The following is an example of the command line prompt:
NODENAME.1.9.VISM8.aIn this example, the current card is an active VISM in slot 9, and the name of the node is "NODENAME".
When the VISM prompt is displayed, commands can be entered and executed by the selected VISM card.
Logging Out
To end a CLI session and log out of the system, enter either the bye command or the logout command.
VISM Commands
The VISM CLI Command set are listed in the following tables.
Table 7-2 lists all the VISM commands in alphabetical order.
Note
Table 7-3 lists VoIP mode commands in alphabetical order.
Table 7-4 lists VoIP mode commands by functional group. For example, the Card Group includes those commands that refer to the VISM card as a whole, the DSP Group includes those commands that refer to the Digital Signal Processors.
Table 7-5 lists AAL2 Trunking mode commands in alphabetical order.
Table 7-6 lists AAL2 Trunking mode commands by functional group.
A description of each VISM command, arranged in alphabetical order, follows the command tables. If the mnemonic of a command is known, the Index at the end of this document can be used to obtain the page number of the description of that command.
?
Use the ? command to view all commands associated with the current card, or to view a list of commands associated with a command entry. The entry may be omitted in which all commands are displayed or the entry may be complete, such as "dspendpt", or a partial character string. The complete list of command nmemonics is scanned and each one containing the character string is listed. For example a partial entry of "dspend" would result in "dspendpt" and dspendpts" being listed.

Use the addcasvar command to add a CAS variant to the VISM card. Before this command can be ecxecuted, a file containing the variant information must have already been downloaded to the MGX 8850 PXM card using a separate application (e.g. TFTP). Upon execution, this command downloads the specified file from the PXM and configures the CAS variant on the VISM card based upon the information in the file. This command can be executed at any time to add a new CAS variant.

addcid
Use the addcid command to add an AAL 2 channel identifier on the VISM card. This command establishes a relationship between and endpoint and a lcn/CID pair.
Use only in AAL2 Trunking mode. As the enpoint is bound to a ds0, the CID binds a ds0 to a logical channel thus nailing down an endpoint to endpoint trunk. To execute this command, the endpoint must be already added, the PVC must be of bearer type and already provisioned using addchan, and the current DSP template must contain the desired codec type.
This command can be used on an endpoint that has no associated CAS variant. However, if a CAS variant is specified for the endpoint, it must be Q.50 variant (file q50.o). Q.50 is the only CAS variant that is supported by the addcid command.

addcon
Use the addcon command to add a PVC connection between the VISM card and any SM or PXM card. The connection may be a slave or master connection. The addport and addrscprtn commands must have been executed before this command is executed. The local vci parameter that is entered is used as the lcn.
This command displays the local connection id in the nodename.slot.port.vpi.vci format. The local vci parameter that is entered is used as the lcn.
Note
When used in AAL2 Trunking mode, pvc type AAL5 is used for signaling and AAL2 is used for a bearer channel.

addendpt
The addendpt command is used to add an endpoint on the VISM card. The endpoint on VISM is a logical port that consists of one ds0. The parameters entered in this command are used to create the "endpoint ID" (or endpoint number)which is required by the call agent for sending the xGCP Create Connection command (CRCX) to the VISM card. Only bearer ds0s can be configured as endpoints and the line must have added. Note that the endpoint number is not equal to the ds0 number of the associated timeslot. For example, endpoint 1 could be associated with ds0 11.
In VoIP mode, the IP address for VISM must have added using the cnfvismip command before endpoints can be added.
This command causes an RSIP message to be sent to each associated Call Agent indicating that the endpoint is in-service.

addendpts
Use the addendpts command to add multiple sequential endpoints with a single command. This command adds a specified number of sequential endpoints starting at a specified endpoint number, line number, and ds0 number. As endpoints are added, the command uses the next available (not added) endpoint numbers and next availble ds0s. The command does not wrap around ds0 and endpoint numbers. Note that the endpoint number is not equal to the ds0 number of the associated timeslot. For example, endpoint 1 could be associated with ds0 11.
When adding endpoints, the user should ascertain that there are enough lines and ds0s to execute the request. If the user attempts to add more end points than are available, only the available endpoints are added. For example, if T1 line 1 is the only line enabled and the user attempts to add 25 endpoints, only 24 endpoints are actually added. However, the actual number of endpoints that are added is displayed.
This command causes an RSIP message to be sent to each associated Call Agent indicating that the endpoints are in-service.
