What precautionary messages mean
The types of precautionary messages used in Nortel Networks documents
include attention boxes and danger, warning, and caution messages.
An attention box identifies information that is necessary for the proper
performance of a procedure or task or the correct interpretation of
information or data. Danger, warning, and caution messages indicate
possible risks.
Examples of the precautionary messages follow.
ATTENTION Information needed to perform a task
ATTENTION
If the unused DS-3 ports are not deprovisioned before a DS-1/VT
Mapper is installed, the DS-1 traffic will not be carried through the
DS-1/VT Mapper, even though the DS-1/VT Mapper is properly
provisioned.
DANGER Possibility of personal injury
DANGER
Risk of electrocution
Do not open the front panel of the inverter unless fuses
F1, F2, and F3 have been removed. The inverter contains
high-voltage lines. Until the fuses are removed, the
high-voltage lines are active, and you risk being
electrocuted.
WARNING Possibility of equipment damage
WARNING
Damage to the backplane connector pins
Align the card before seating it, to avoid bending the
backplane connector pins. Use light thumb pressure to
align the card with the connectors. Next, use the levers on
the card to seat the card into the connectors.

This extended peripheral module (XPM) translations reference manual
provides the following information:
•product overview
•translations datafill procedures
•description of basic and optional XPM feature abilities
•description of how specified tables activate, deactivate, or alter product
abilities for Remote Switching Center-SONET (Synchronous Optical
Network) (RSC-S) international systems
Section 3 describes translation table datafill for international systems.
Section 4 includes the specified differences for UK/Europe.

Introduction to data tables
The translations database contains many data tables. Each table has a
purpose and contains a specified type of data. When you enter datafill, you
enter specified data in a table. The following section describes the structure
of data tables.
Data associated with hardware and software systems of the Digital Multiplex
System (DMS) switch are stored in tables.
A table contains rows and columns. A row is a tuple. Columns represent
fields in a tuple. Refer to the following figure for examples of a table,
subtable and sub-subtable.
Each field has a different field name that contains a maximum of eight
characters. The field name is a prompt for data input.
A field is a single-element field or a multiple-element field with subfields.
A field or subfield contains data in the form of numbers or alphanumeric
strings.
Tuple properties
A different key identifies each tuple.
A key contains the first field. For most tables, the key forms one field. In
other tables, the key requires a minimum of one field of data to make the key
different. In this occurrence, the first field and one or more following fields
in the tuple form the key.
The key or the table editor (TE) cursor reference tuples. The cursor is an
internal pointer to a tuple of a table. Use TE commands like POSITION,
LIST, BOTTOM, and TOP to move the cursor. Refer to the Table editor
commands table in this section for a description of TE commands.
The tuple the cursor points to is the current tuple.

Using the table editor
The TE is a set of commands that modify the data in the DMS-100 control
tables. Enter the commands at the MAP terminal.
Note: Two subtable levels are supported.

Introduction to data tables 2-3
DMS-100 Family XPM International Translations Reference Manual XPM12 and up
The TE allows users to perform the following functions:
•add, delete or change tuples or fields in a table or subtable
•list one or more tuples of a table or subtable
•move the cursor to display a tuple in a table or subtable
•display specified valid field values
•search for tuples that contain specified field values
Procedures for datafilling any system
The datafill procedures in this section list the field and subfield names of the
key tables. You enter data into the key tables for any system. Explanations
of each field and subfield also available. Examples of field entries are
available for most fields and subfields. The examples correspond to the
example configuration in the earlier table. The examples correspond to
examples of tuples at the end of each procedure.
Input prompts and prompting mode
The system uses prompts to notify the user. The system prompts you when
the data you enter is not complete or is not in defined parameters. When a
prompt occurs, the system gives you the name of the required field or
parameter. You have the following options:
•input all correct data on the current line
•enter ABORT to exit the command and to exit the input and prompt
mode
•enter invalid data and cause the system to provide additional information
about the field or parameter
If the tuple you enter has many list items, a prompt appears. The prompt
continues until the tuple reaches the maximum list length or until you enter a
dollar sign ($).

2-4 Introduction to data tables
297-8331-815 Standard 10.01 August 1999
Nonprompt mode
WARNING
Possible loss of service if you use the NONPROMPT mode
In tables with fields with multiple entries, like
OPTCARD, EXECTAB, CSLINKTAB and PSLINKTAB,
do not use the NONPROMPT mode of datafill. When
you use the NONPROMPT mode, enter all datafill of a
field in one entry. The system deletes entries that you do
not enter in the NONPROMPT mode from the table. The
system does not prompt operating company personnel for
additional entries in a field unless the personnel are in the
PROMPT mode. The PROMPT mode steps through each
separate value. Use the PROMPT mode when you make
entry changes to multiple datafill fields.
The system first processes commands in the nonprompt mode. After the
system recognizes a valid command, the system processes one field value at
a time. The process continues until the system reaches the end of the input
line ($) or error detection occurs.
To add a tuple at one time, string following field values together. This
action leaves an empty space between each field value. Indicate the end of
the string with a dollar sign ($). If the information for one tuple exceeds one
input line, use a plus sign (+) as the last character on the line. This action
allows the system to process current line contents and the next line as a
single input.
Activating changes to tables
After the TE checks that input data is complete and valid, the system creates
a data modification order (DMO). The DMO is applied to change the
appropriate table data.
