Pack information

The vpackTable section of the MIB is a table containing one entry for each XPACK. The index for this table is the pack slot number (1 to 16) as used in the Blueworx Voice Response user interface. Entries only exist for slots where a card is installed.

The number of instances of vpackType, vpackStatus, and so on tell you how many packs are attached to a system.

vpackTable
 
 
 
vpackEntry
 
 
   
vpackIndex
None
INTEGER
Pack number (1 through 16).
   
vpackType
Read-only
INTEGER
Shows the type of each of the packs installed. This value is not set if the pack is in the Defined or Equipped state. Possible values (of vpackEntry 2) are:
  • 0 - Unassigned (pack is in 'Defined' or 'Equipped' state)
  • 1 VPACK T1 (no longer returned)
  • 2 VPACK E1 (no longer returned)
  • 3 RPACK (no longer returned)
  • 4 SPACK E1 (no longer returned)
  • 5 Wrap Plug
  • 6 VPACK (no longer returned)
  • 7 SPACK T1 (no longer returned)
  • 8 XPACK E1 (no longer returned)
  • 9 XPACK T1 (no longer returned)
  • 10 - XPACK OTHER (no longer returned)
  • 11 - TPACK E1 (DTTA)
  • 12 - TPACK T1 (DTTA)
  • 13 - EPACK E1 (DTEA)
  • 14 - EPACK T1 (DTEA)
  • 15 - NPACK E1 (DTNA)
  • 16 - NPACK T1 (DTNA)
   
vpackStatus
Read-only
INTEGER
The current operating status of the pack. Possible values are:
  • 0 Unknown
  • 1 Defined
  • 2 Equipped
  • 3 Available
  • 4 Quiescing
  • 5 InService
  • 6 Diagnostics
   
vpackAction
Write-only
INTEGER
This variable is used to alter the state of the pack. Possible values are:
  • 0 Enable
  • 1 Put ChannelsInService
  • 2 Put ChannelsOutService
  • 3 Quiesce
  • 4 Disable
  • 5 Remove
  • 6 Make available
   
vpackSigUse
Read-only
INTEGER
Shows whether this pack is carrying telephony signaling for itself and maybe other packs controlled by the same signaling process.

All CAS protocols have primary signaling. For CCS protocols that are configured for non facility associated signaling (NFAS), one pack carries signaling for all packs controlled by the same signaling process. Take care when disabling packs configured for primary or backup signaling in an NFAS group, because this could cause traffic on other packs to be lost. The variable vpackNFAS can be used to determine if this pack is part of an NFAS group.

Possible values are:
  • 0 None
  • 1 Primary (pack carries the primary signaling link)
  • 2 Backup (pack carries the backup signaling link)
   
vpackCCSSigProc
Read-only
INTEGER
For packs using common channel signalling (CCS) or session initiated protocol (SIP) this shows the signaling process that is being used, using values from the SL_PROC_TYPE enumeration in the slcommon.h header file. For non-CCS and non-SIP it will be 0 .
   
vpackNFAS
Read-only
INTEGER
This variable indicates whether this pack is part of a non facility associated signaling (NFAS) trunk group. If it is, the group consists of all packs controlled by the signaling process for this pack: see vpackCCSSigProc. Possible values are:
  • 0 Not part of NFAS group: always true for CAS protocols
  • 1 Part of NFAS group
   
vpackChanStatus
Read-only
OCTET-STRING
This variable gives the status of all channels on this pack. It contains one octet for each channel configured for the pack, starting with channel-1 in the first octet. This variable is available only for packs that are Inservice or Quiescing, and for packs that have channels configured. The possible values for each channel status are the same as for the channelStatus variable in channelTable (see Channel information).
   
vpackDTQAloading
Read-only
INTEGER

This variable gives a percentage relating to how heavily the DTTA subsystem is loaded. If the percentage exceeds 95%, it is likely that telephony problems will occur.

Because this percentage applies to one DTTA, the same value is returned for all TPACKs attached to the adapter.
