Location Status Information - Installation Guide Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction
This guide provides specific field entries that need to be made in the process of 
installing and configuring Location Status Information.  In addition to this guide, 
use the following manuals for this installation:
•Applications Manager (APM) Installation Manual – Contains step-by-step 
instructions for installing the software from the release media.
Applications Manager (APM) Operations Manual – Explains how applications 
like Location Status Information are configured in the APM environment, 
using the entries and values provided in this guide.
 NEAX System Manuals - Give very detailed explanations about the 
assignments that need to be made with the NEAX2400 Maintenance 
Administration Terminal (MAT) commands, the NEAX2000 Customer 
Administration Terminal (CAT), or the NEAX2000 Maintenance Operations 
Console (MOC).
Briefly, the installation and set up of Location Status Information involves the 
following processes:  
Software Installation - Location Status Information software must first be 
loaded from the release media.  Log in to the APM Platform Management 
Menu, select the Installation of Applications/Packages option, and follow the 
instructions provided in the APM Installation Manual to complete this part of 
the installation. 
Application Configuration - Location Status Information is internally 
supported by the APM and must be configured in the APM environment. 
Application Configuration of this guide provides the information that must be 
entered into this APM configuration file.  Use the instructions provided in the 
APM Operations Manual to make the entries provided in this section.
Database Requirements - Location Status Information requires two 
application databases which are constructed and maintained through the APM 
Database Administration option.  Database Requirements of this guide defines 
the information which must be included in these database files.  Use the 
instructions provided in the APM Operations Manual to make the entries 
contained in this section.
Control Options - If the AMS_to_LSI utility is running with AMS, 
AMS_to_LSI must be set up to run nightly.
NEAX Command Assignments - Before Location Status Information will 
function, specific data settings must be assigned at the NEAX2400 
Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT), the NEAX2000 Customer 
Administration Terminal (CAT), or the NEAX2000 Maintenance Operations 
Console (MOC). NEAX Command Assignments specifies the necessary 
commands and the values at which they are to be set. Use the instructions 
provided in the appropriate NEAX System Manuals to make the entries 
contained in this section.
The installation process, including its presentation in this manual and reference to 
other required manuals, is illustrated below:

Location Status Information - Installation Guide Application Configuration
Chapter 2 Application Configuration
Location Status Information is set up in the APM system using the Add function 
of the Application Configuration option on the APM System Administration menu:
1. Enter the APM option from the APM Platform Management Menu.
2. Enter the System Administrator password at the APM password screen.  
3. Enter the Application Configuration option from the System Administration 
menu.
This section contains the information that should be entered to the configuration 
file for Location Status Information.  For specific instructions on what these 
parameters mean and how to make these entries, refer to the APM Operations 
Manual.
Note:Configure AMS_to_LSI only if  the Attendant Management System (AMS) is  in-
stalled on the same  UAP as Location Status Information (LSI) and the LSI data-
base will be generated from the AMS database.  This option is only available on 
the NEAX2400 System.
Step 1 – Application Characteristics
In the APM Application Configuration option, choose the Add command to display 
the Define Application Characteristics screen.  Then make the entries exactly as 
shown below:
Parameter LSI EntryAMS_to_LSI
EntryDefinition
OAI Application Y NWhether (Yes or No) the application communi-
cates with the NEAX2400 using OAI processes.
CRT Application N NWhether (Yes or No) the application requires a 
terminal screen of the same type as the one used 
by the APM.
Communication 
QueueNNWhether (Yes or No) the application needs an 
IPC queue to communicate with other process-
es.

Step 2 – Primary Configuration Parameters
On the APM Configuration Entry screen, make the following entries  for  the 
parameters shown below:
 
Step 3 – Facilities
According to instructions in the APM Operations Manual, designate the following  
facilities for Location Status Information using the Facilities command on the 
APM Configuration Entry screen:
MRFI Mode Release Facility (I) SCF Switch Control Facility
MRFR Mode Release Facility(R) TCFD Terminal Control Facility (D)
MSF OAI Mode Set Facility TCFI Terminal Control Facility (I)
NTF Number Transfer Facility
Note:The same MSF identification number (i.e., from 128 to 192) that is selected in the 
APM during Step 3 must be assigned to 
Location Status Information with the ap-
propriate NEAX commands.  See NEAX Command Assignments for more infor-
mation. Parameter LSI  Entry AMS_to_LSI
  Entry Definition
Application
NameLocation_Status AMS_to_LSIThe name to be displayed in the 
APM menus.  This name is
