The information necessary to support this process comes from alarms measurements and indicators of operational (including congestion) status. 3.77 non-associated mode of signalling: The signalling mode in which messages involving two

27、(nonadjacent) signalling points are communicated between them over two or more signalling links in tandem passing through one or more signalling transfer points other than those which are the origin and destination of the messages. See also mode of signalling and quasi-associated mode of signalling.

Error correction is effected by preventive cyclic retransmission of the message signal units already sent, though not yet acknowledged. Preventive cyclic re

34、transmission takes place whenever there are no new message signal units or link status signal units available to be sent. 3.87 primary point code (PPC): Refers to the point code identification of the primary destination of the SCCP Routing Verification Test (SRVT) message. 3.88 processor outage: A s

35、ituation in which a signalling link becomes unavailable due to factors at a functional level higher than level 2. This may be because of, for example, a central processor failure. It may also be due to a manually initiated blocking of an individual signalling link. 3.89 provisioning: Service provisi

36、oning refers to processes that arrange and connect equipment and facilities, create their associated software and data base translations in response to service demands and forecasts. Provisioning does not include equipment installations, but the state of the equipment (i.e., in service, out of servi

38、de of signalling in which the path taken by a message through the signalling network is predetermined and fixed at a given point in time. 3.92 random errors: Errors distributed over the signal in time so that they can be considered statistically independent from each other. 3.93 redundancy; standby:

39、 That redundancy wherein one means for performing a required function is intended to operate while the alternative means are inoperative until needed. ATIS-0300226.2001 10 3.94 reliability (performance): The ability of an item to perform a required function under given conditions for a given time pe

43、mit a signalling point to determine the accuracy and consistency of its routing data by sending a test message and analyzing the response message to determine whether the sent message traversed the expected route. 3.100 routine or periodic testing: Items are tested periodically, initiated either by

44、the system or by the maintenance staff. The frequency of the test depends on the importance of the item, the failure rate, and the number of items of that type present in the element. 3.101 routing label: The part of the message label that is used for message routing in the signalling network. It in

45、cludes the destination point code, the originating point code, and the signalling link selection field. 3.102 SCCP relay node: See translation signalling point. 3.103 sequence-controlled diversion procedure: A signalling traffic management procedure used to divert a given traffic flow (towards one o

46、r more destinations) from an alternative signalling link to the signalling link that has become available. The signalling point initiating Changeback performs the following actions: a) It stops transmitting the concerned traffic on the alternative signalling link. This traffic is stored in a Changeb

47、ack buffer; and b) It sends a Changeback declaration to the remote signalling point via the concerned alternative signalling link. This message indicates that no more MSUs pertaining to the traffic being diverted will be sent on the alternative signalling link. Traffic is diverted to the link made a

48、vailable after receipt of a Changeback acknowledgment message from the distant end. 3.104 secondary point code (SPC): Refers to the point code identification of the secondary destination of the SRVT message. 3.105 service: A set of functions offered to a user by an organization. 3.106 service, beare
