STATE (ST)

Qualifiers:

<unit>

<unit> <shelf>

<unit> <shelf> <slot>

<unit> <shelf> <slot> <circuit or hybrid>

<unit> <shelf> <slot> <circuit or hybrid> <channel>

EXTENSION <extension number>

MLS <unit> <shelf> <slot> <circuit or hybrid>

TRUNK GROUP <group number>

TRUNK GROUP <group number> TRAFFIC

TRUNK GROUP <group number> VIRTUAL

TRUNK GROUP <group number> ALL

XNET ICP <ICP number>

XNET ALL

XNET ALL IP

XNET ALL ISDN

XNET TRUNK <trunk number>

XNET LINK <link number>

Purpose:

Provides information on the current call-processing or maintenance state of the specified device or group of devices.

Details:

The STATE command cannot be invoked on a FIM or PRC cards.

If the <circuit> qualifier is omitted, the display for the specified card will be given.

If the card qualifier is omitted, the display for the specified shelf will be given.

The <channel> qualifier allows the state of a specific channel on a Dual T1 card to be displayed.

If the extension is a Hot Desk user's DN, the command will result in one of the following messages: "Hot Desk: <Hot Desk user's DN> Currently Not Logged in" or "Hot Desk: Login active at <registration DN>". If the Hot Desk user's DN is logged in, the command may be reissued using the registration DN.

The TRAFFIC qualifier specifies traffic circuits. The ALL qualifier provides information on traffic and virtual circuits. When the ALL qualifier is not accompanied by any other qualifiers, a STATE report for the whole system is provided.

The VIRTUAL qualifier is used to specify MSDN/DPNSS virtual channels. Virtual channels do not exist in ISDN; however, the switch sees ISDN links as DPNSS links and reports the presence of virtual channels.

The MLS qualifier displays the states of the line appearances on multiline sets that are connected to DNIC line cards.

The XNET qualifier is used to request the status of XNET trunks.

You can use the XNET qualifier to find resilient calls across IP trunks. A healthy controller with calls that are in a survival state is indicated by a link handle of zero. For example:

Entry: state xnet ICP 44

System Response:

On the SUPERCONSOLE 1000, this command is found under the REPORTS group of commands.

State Command Printout Headings

Heading

Description

Location

Physical location (cabinet, shelf, slot etc.) at which the device is located.

Device

Device type associated with the specified location. If the device type is a card, and no card is installed, "no card present" is displayed.

State

Current state of the specified device. See Circuit States table for a list of states.

Owner

The process which is using (or 'owns') the circuit at the time the STATE command is entered. See Owner Types table for a list of owner processes. This field will be blank if the specified circuit is not being used by a process.

ID

Internal ID allocated upon Call Process creation. It is not maintenance related and differs between active and inactive planes. This field will be blank if the specified circuit is not being used by a process.

Status

Status of the process that currently owns the specified circuit, one of:

WAIT: Process is waiting for an event such as a time delay or a message.

READY: Process is ready for execution.

UNPR: Cannot be ed since the process owns the CPU.

IDLE NOT ST: Not started, the process has just been created. This is a rare event.

STOP: The process is dying. This is a rare event.

DEAD: The process is dead. The device can be reused at any time.

RUN: Process is currently active.

BLANK: This field will be blank if the specified circuit is not being used by a process.

 

Circuit States

State

Definition

Busy

Busy due to Call Process, Maintenance or other application.

Callwait

This can only occur on a line waiting for the Attendant console to answer (same as 'waiting for answer', but party is specifically waiting for the Attendant to answer.

Hard Hold

Party is on hold via a 'call hold dial' feature.

Idle

Device is in a seizable state.

Locked Out

Off-hook (but not involved in Call Process) or a Hot Desk user's DN (regardless of status).

Manbusy

"Busied-out" by BUSY command.

MCD

Maintenance Courtesy Down indicates that the circuit is scheduled to be put into the MANBUSY state when current application is completed.

Mtce Busy

Circuit has background or directed diagnostics being run on it.

Mtce Only

Circuit has background or directed diagnostics being run on it, and was in one of SUSPECT, OUT OF SERVICE or MANBUSY states immediately beforehand.

Not Seize

Device not available for use by call processing.

Out of Service

Taken out of service.

Releasing

In the process of going from busy to idle.

Reserved

Specified line is reserved for use as a dataline.

Resiliency Call Waiting

Indicates that the console is in the process of failing back from its secondary controller to its primary controller.

While in this state, if there is no other console with the same LDNs available on the primary, new calls queue to the secondary. Once the console has become idle on the primary, the state on the secondary is changed from Resilient Call Waiting to Out of Service, and any queued calls are routed to the primary.

The text displayed in the state command output is:

"Res Call Wtg"

Ringing

Ringing signal is being applied to device.

Seizing

In the process of going from idle to busy.

Soft Hold

Party is on hold via a 'flash hook'.

Suspect

Failed diagnostic, taken out of service.

Unassigned

The circuit has not been assigned.
