1. PURPOSE
Controls the following:
(a) The printing of the CA02 immediate-error message and the associated
TW02 messages (end code 20000002).
Note: The printing of the CA02 message is turned on by Pident CAMA
for error categories PRG and TDA once a day at 2:30 a.m.
Effectively prints CAMA-PRINT-ON3 PRG/ONO TDA. COPE requests from
the CAMA positions are inhibited at 2:30 a.m. Effectively prints
CAMA-PRINT-INH,PEX.
(b) The taking of TGN counts (CAMA incoming trunk groups) that are
printed in the CA03 CAMA ERROR SUMMARY message and the CA04 CAMA
TRAFFIC SUMMARY message.
(c) The printing of the CA03 and CA04 summary messages upon demand.
(d) The printing of the CA04 CAMA TRAFFIC SUMMARY message either daily
or hourly.
(e) The allowing or inhibiting CAMA operator position exercise (COPE)
requests from the operator position.
2. FORMAT
CAMA-PRINT- aaa bbb.
3. EXPLANATION OF MESSAGE
The following is a list of the valid parameters for 'a' and 'b'. Within
a group, any parameter 'a' can be used with any parameter 'b'. By using
a slash (/) at the end of the input message instead of a period (.),
more than one set of 'a' and 'b' parameters can be specified; however,
more than one TTY request may be required to accomplish what is desired.
There are no restrictions as to the order in which TTY requests are
made.
Group I Parameters
a = ON0 - Turn on printing of the CA02 message.
= ON1 - Turn on printing of the CA02 message and one TW02
message. This TW02 will be a dump of the register most
closely related to the error.
= ON3 - Turn on printing of the CA02 message and up to three
TW02 messages. The registers that can be dumped are CR0,
CR1 , IR, ISR.
= OFF - Turn off printing of CA02 and TW02 (end code
20000002) messages.
b = PRG - Do the above for program error category.
= TDA - Do the above for translation error category.
= DIG - Do the above for digit error category.
= OPR - Do the above for operator error category.
= HDW - Do the above for hardware error category.
= ALL - Do the above for all error categories.
EXAMPLE (1)
A good initial state for CA02 printing is all error categories printing,
category "program" with up to three register dumps, and the other
categories with no register dumps:
CAMA-PRINT-ON0 ALL/
ON3 PRG.
Assume that trouble develops in an ANI supplying CAMA traffic to the
office and the result is a large number of CA02 messages of category
"digit." After using the messages to determine the AN1 problems, it may
be desirable to turn off the printing of these messages temporarily
until the ANI is fixed:
CAMA-PRINT-OFF DIG.
Then, to restore printing:
CAMA-PRINT-ON0 DIG.
Group II Parameters
a = TGN - TGN information is to follow.
b = SUM - Apply the specified TGN only to the CAMA summary
messages - CA03 and CA04. Error and traffic counts will
be taken for the specified CAMA incoming trunk group.
= ALL - Apply the specified TGN to the CAMA immediate error
message CA02, in addition to the CAMA summary messages
explained directly above. Printing of CA02 messages will
be restricted to only those that are associated with the
specified TGN.
= ( ) - The parentheses represent any 3-digit CAMA incoming
trunk group number. This specifies a TGN: it will be used
according to 'b' parameters SUM or ALL. Only the last TGN
specified can be in effect at any given time. If a TGN is
already in effect and another one is specified, CA03 and
CA04 messages are printed and then the TGN counts are
zeroed to initialize for the new TGN.
= 000 - Remove the influence of the TGN, stop taking TGN
error and traffic counts, and stop restricting the
printing of CA02 messages to those associated with a
particular TGN. CA03 and CA04 messages are printed and
then the TGN counts are zeroed.
EXAMPLE (2)
Assume that several ANIs develop trouble at one time. Large numbers of
CA02 messages from each office may make it hard to see patterns of
errors for a particular office. Restricting the printing of the CA02
messages to those associated with a particular CAMA incoming trunk group
will allow one ANI at a time to be inspected:
CAMA-PRINT-TGN XXX/
TGN ALL.
where XXX = Three-digit CAMA incoming trunk group number.
To change to another CAMA TGN:
CAMA-PRINT-TGN XXX.
Group III Parameters
ab = SUM NOW - Print immediately the CA03 CAMA ERROR SUMMARY
message and the CA04 CAMA TRAFFIC SUMMARY message.
Current counts are printed which cover a period of time
starting at the last hourly or daily printout. The TGN
counts may cover a period of time if a TGN was specified
after the last scheduled printout. The counts are not
zeroed.
EXAMPLE (3)
To check the present error and traffic counts without waiting for the
scheduled printout of the summary messages, the following message is
typed:
CAMA-PRINT-SUM NOW.
To stop taking TGN counts, the following message is typed:
CAMA-PRINT-TGN 000.
Group IV Parameters
a = TRF - Traffic information is to follow.
b = HLY - Print the CA04 CAMA TRAFFIC SUMMARY message every
hour on the half hour. This message is not printed if all
traffic counts were zero for the past hour.
= DLY - Print the CA04 CAMA TRAFFIC SUMMARY message once a
day at 2:30 a.m. This message is not printed if all
traffic counts were zero for the past day.
EXAMPLE (4)
Each office supplying CAMA traffic can be checked to see whether
performance standards are being met by looking at hourly printouts of
the CA03 CAMA ERROR SUMMARY and CA04 CAMA TRAFFIC SUMMARY messages. The
TGN counts of these messages provide the ability to gather data on
an individual office. For this application, the TGNs that are specified
should only affect the summary messages and not restrict the printing of
the CA02 messages. This can be accomplished with the following:
CAMA-PRINT-TGN xxx/
TGN SUM/
TRF HLY.
Group V Parameters
a = ALW or INH - Allow or inhibit.
b = PEX - COPE requests from the CAMA operator position. When
the system is in the ALW mode any digits received within 1
second after position is occupied will be interpreted as a
COPE request.
4. SYSTEM RESPONSE
This message is designed for automatic paper tape operation. Each
message on paper tape should be followed by X-OFF (ASCII DC3) and 5 or
more RUB (ASCII DEL) characters.
OK = Indicates that the request is done.
PF = Indicates that the requested printout is forthcoming.
NO = Indicates that the request cannot be done because there is
no CAMA in this office; or the requested printouts did not
fit into the TTY buffer; or the requested printouts are
not necessary because all the data is zero.
NG = Indicates that the input parameters are invalid.
NA = Indicates that this response should not be received: there
is a program error in the CAMA-PRINT- code.
