Installation & Operation Manual 32. V5.2 Access Gateway
32.1.1.2 V5.2 Link Status and Maintenance Actions
The V5.2 Interface uses an additional attribute – Link Operational State – to indicate
its precise status. The valid values are:

Operational – link is "in service"

Failed – service is not provided due to some communication error with the far-end

Blocked – service is not provided due to Block maintenance request by local
user

Blocked and Failed – service is not provided due to both Block maintenance
request by local user and a communication error with the far-end
The following maintenance actions are supported on V5.2 Links:

Add / Remove – adds/removes V5.2 Link

Unlock / Lock – adds/removes the configuration of the corresponding V5.2
Interface to/from the corresponding Media Gateway board (note that it's not
enough to Unlock the V5.2 Link to bring it to service – you must also use In
Service action on the corresponding V5.2 Interface)

Block / Unblock – temporarily stops/starts the service on the corresponding V5.2
Link; if user port is busy (in call), the Block action is deferred until the port goes
on-hook; block/unblock actions may also be performed by the soft-switch

Link ID Check – initiates the link identification check that ensures that there is no
mismatch between the ends of the link; the link's Link ID Check Status attribute
is updated accordingly. In addition to the manual initiation (by user), the
identification check is automatically performed on a V5.2 link by either peer at
startup time or after the link recovers from a physical failure.
32.1.1.3 V5.2 User Ports Status
The Mediant 8000 maintains the current V5.2 User Ports configuration in an auxiliary
file named SlotX_V52_FILE.csv. The file can be found in auxiliary files repository
