Service and Link Interface Card (SLIC) Overview
 The Service and Link Interface Card or “SLIC” is the latest application
card for the EAGLE STP.
 The SLIC is the application card replacement for all Application cards in
the EAGLE STP except the E5-ATM card.
Service and Link Interface Card (SLIC) Overview
 The first Application Cards replaced by the SLIC were the E5-ENET B
card running the IPSG application for SIGTRAN M2PA and M3UA
Associations and the E5-IPSM running the IPS application in release
46.3.
 The E5-SM4G & E5-SM8G-B Service Module cards – for GTT and
application processing such as Number Portability (SCCP capability) with
the ability to achieve 10K TPS and E5-MCPM for Measurements were
phased into SLIC in release 46.4.
 The E5-E1/T1, E5-E1/T1-B & HC-MIM cards into SLIC in Release 46.5 to
support 128 Low Speed Links or 4 High Speed Links.

SLIC Functional Information
 The backplane adapter 830-1102-02 is required to support SLIC when

replacing E5-SM4G & E5-SM8G-B cards. This replaces the single RJ-45
adapter used with the above service modules.
 Backplane adapter 830-1102-02 is also used for SLIC for IPSG application.
 SLIC requires HIPR2 bus cards in the shelves where they are provisioned,
though the High Rate IMT feature is not required.
 Fans are required in the shelves where the SLIC is located.
 SLIC is inter-operable with E5-SM-4G and 8G-B cards in the same shelf.
 SLIC is not slot specific, so they work in both even and odd numbered slots.
 Air Management cards should be used with SLIC and all other application
cards where there are blank card slots.
Replacing the E5-ENET-B card with a SLIC
 There are no configuration changes required if an E5-ENET-B card with

the application of IPSG is replaced by a SLIC.
– The links on the card to be replaced must be de-activated and associations
closed.
– The E5-ENET-B card must be inhibited first using the inh-card command
– Replace the E5-ENET-B card with the SLIC
– Allow the SLIC card into service with the alw-card command
– UAM 0002 may be generated. If so, the new GPL for the SLIC card must be
flashed using the instructions in the UAM/UIM Reference Doc. (Important)
– Re-activate the links
– Open and allow the associations
Changing the E5-ENET-B card to a SLIC
 The chg-card command can be used to make configuration changes if the E5-ENET-B
card is replaced by a SLIC for increased capacity.
– The links on the card to be replaced must be de-activated
– The associations for the card location must be closed.
– The E5-ENET-B card must be inhibited first using the inh-card command
– Replace the E5-ENET-B card with the SLIC
– Use the chg-card command to change the type to SLIC. The card location and type
parameters must be used.
– Allow the SLIC card into service with the alw-card command
– UAM 0002 may be generated. If so, the new GPL for the SLIC card must be flashed
using the instructions in the UAM/UIM Reference Doc. (Important)
– Re-activate the links
– Open and allow the associations

EAGLE (ent-card) Command Example
EAGLE (chg-card) Command Example
Provisioning the SLIC for SIGRAN
 The SLIC is provisioned in the EAGLE STP using the following

command:
– ent-card:loc=xxxx:type=slic:appl=ipsg
 Note there is now a card type of “SLIC”, though it is only used for the
application=ipsg.
 The ent-card command “type” parameter states:
– enetb - E5-ENET-B or SLIC card is used to support the IP Signaling
Gateway. The application for this card type is IPSG.
– slic - SLIC card to support Service Module cards and IP Signaling Gateway.
The application for this card type is IPSG.
Changing ENET Cards to SLIC for SIGRAN
 The ENET cards may be replaced with SLIC using the following command:
– chg-card:loc=xxxx:type=slic
 The chg-card command “type” parameter states:
– enet – the IPSG configuration is supported on an E5-ENET card
– enetb – the IPSG configuration is supported on an E5-ENET-B or SLIC card
– slic – the IPSG configuration is supported on a SLIC card (with or without
GTT functionality)
 The “data” parameter determines the type of data that can be loaded:
– dn, epap, elap, gtt, imsi, nosccp
 The “nappl” parameter is used to select the new application for the card:
– ipsg, used to support the combined functionality of IPLIMx M2PA, IPGWx M3UA
Provisioning the SLIC for IPSM

command:
– ent-card:loc=xxxx:type=ipsm:appl=ips
 Note there is no card type of “SLIC” mentioned for this application.
– ipsm – IP Service module card to support the IP User Interface feature. The
application for this card type is IPS.
 SLIC card configuration or IPSM is exactly the same as the legacy
E5-IPSM card.
Provisioning the SLIC for SCCP (EGTT)

command:
– ent-card:loc=xxxx:type=dsm:appl=vsccp
 Note again there is no card type of “SLIC” for this application.
– dsm - E5-SM4G or E5-SM8G-B card to support EPAP-based features, LNP
features and the GTT feature. The application for this card type is VSCCP.
 SLIC card configuration or SCCP is exactly the same as the legacy
Service Module cards.
Adding GTT on SLIC IPSG Cards using chg-card
 There are couple of options for changing the GTT functionality to SLIC
IPSG cards. Note: the card, links and associations must be inhibited.
 The chg-card command is used to modify a currently configured
ENET/ENETB card to SLIC with the following command:
– chg-card:loc=1101:type=slic
Adding GTT on SLIC IPSG Cards using chg-card
 When using the chg-card command, only one optional parameter may
be used per command entry. Therefore two chg-card commands are
required to change a ENET/ENETB card to SLIC performing GTT:
– chg-card:loc=1101:data=gtt
 The card slot now indicates the new type=slic and data=GTT.
Rejected chg-card Command Example
 Below is the result of the chg-card command using more than one
optional parameter:
Provisioning new SLIC Cards with GTT
 New SLIC cards with IPSG & GTT are provisioned using the ent-card
command.
 The following command is used to provision a new SLIC card with
GTT:
– ent-card:loc=xxxx:type=slic:appl=ipsg:data=gtt
Provisioning the SLIC for E1 Links

command:
– ent-card:loc=xxxx:type=lime1:appl=ccs7itu
 Note again there is no card type of “SLIC” for this application.
– lime1 - HC-MIM, E5-E1T1, or E5-E1T1-B card used as an E1 card or an
SE-HSL card. Applications for this card type are SS7ANSI and CCS7ITU.
 E1/T1 card configuration is exactly the same as the legacy E5-E1/T1
cards.
rtrv-card Command after provisioning or swap
rept-stat-card command result for the SLIC
 Note the cards is slots 1101-05 indicate a type of SLIC though they were
entered as types lime1, e5-enet-b, dsm, ipsm
