Figure 3 displays a screen shot of the IMA Group
Provisioning screen. Note the hotkeys described at
the bottom of the page – P for Previous group, N for
Next group, and E to Enter the group number.
NOTE
Any changes made in this menu must be made
while the group is provisioned to the Out of
Service – Unassigned Group Admin State.
The Group Admin State allows the user to place the
group In Service, Out of Service – Maintenance, or
Out of Service – Unassigned. While In Service, the
IMA group will pass data and send alarms to the SCU.
If the group is placed into Out of Service –
Maintenance, it will continue to pass data but will not
send alarms to the SCU. If the IMA Group is placed
in the Out of Service – Unassigned state, no data is
allowed to pass, and no alarms are sent to the SCU.
The Transmit Identifier is a number provisionable
between 1 and 255 that is transmitted in the ICP
Header and is IMA Group specific. The terminating
IMA device at the other end of the IMA circuit
accepts the Transmit Identifier that is initially
received. The accepted Transmit Identifier is stored,
and all other received transmit identifiers are validated
against the stored value. The stored value remains
until the IMA Group is disabled and re-enabled with a
different Transmit Identifier.
The Transmit Frame Length is the number of cells
transmitted in each IMA frame. This number is
provisionable on ADTRAN equipment but may not be
on other vendors’ equipment. The Transmit Frame
Length must match on both ends of the circuit. The
factory default frame length is set to 128 cells.
The Minimum Active IMA Links option corresponds
to the number of properly working IMA Links needed
for the IMA status to be Operational. This means that
if the Minimum Active Links option is set for three,
and two IMA links are up, the IMA Group will not
operate properly, and no data can be passed. This
option should only be set above one if the IMA Group
should fail after the loss of a certain number of IMA
links. This option may be provisionable on the
connected IMA equipment, but does not have to be set
to match the setting on the Total Access Quad IMA
Access Module.
The Maximum Link Delay refers to the maximum
amount of delay (in milliseconds) allowed between
the arrival of two consecutively numbered IMA
frames. The maximum link delay may be set between
25 and 100 ms. This option does not have to match
the connected IMA equipment.
