MSC
BLOCK
BLOCK ACK
Through circuit block, the circuit at the BSS and that at the MSC are blocked at the same time. The
procedure for circuit block can be triggered by running the BLK ACIC command and setting Operation
Mode to BYCICVALUE in the case of circuit assignment, handover, or device fault.
The BSC sends BLOCK ACK messages to the MSC repeatedly at an interval until the BSC receives a
BLOCK ACK message from the MSC. The interval can be set by setting T1 in the SET BSCTMR
command.
The circuit at the BSC is blocked even if the BSC does not receive any BLOCK ACK message from the
MSC. The circuit is blocked after a call ends. Therefore, circuit block does not affect the circuit on call.

UNBLOCK
UNBLOCK ACK
Through circuit unblock, the blocked circuit at the BSC becomes idle. The procedure for circuit unblock
can be triggered by running the UBL ACIC command and setting Operation Mode to BYCICVALUE on
the LMT.
The BSC sends UNBLOCK messages to the MSC repeatedly at an interval until the BSC receives an
UNBLOCK ACK message from the MSC. The interval can be set by setting T1 in the SET BSCTMR
command.
The circuit at the BSC is idle even if the BSC does not receive any UNBLOCK ACK message from the
MSC.

MSC
GROUP BLOCK
Through group circuit block, multiple A interface circuits can be blocked at the same time. The procedure
for group circuit unblock can be triggered by running the BLK ACIC command and setting Operation
Mode to BYCICRANGE on the LMT. Group circuit block applies to only GSM Phase II and GSM Phase
II Plus.
The BSC sends GROUP BLOCK messages to the MSC repeatedly at an interval until the BSC receives
a GROUP BLOCK ACK message from the MSC. The interval can be set by setting T20 in the SET
BSCTMR command.
The circuits at the BSC are blocked even if the BSC does not receive any GROUP BLOCK ACK
message from the MSC. The circuits are blocked after a call ends. Therefore, group circuit block does
not affect the circuits on call.

GROUP UNBLOCK
Through group circuit unblock, multiple A interface circuits can be unblocked at the same time. The
procedure for group circuit unblock can be triggered by running the UBL ACIC command and setting

UNEQUIPPED CIRCUIT
Through the circuit unequipped procedure, the BSC informs the MSC that the indicated circuit does not
exist and requires the MSC not to use the circuit. The BSC triggers the circuit unequipped procedure in
any circuit-associated procedure as long as the BSC receives a message that carries the information
element (IE) about unequipped circuit from the MSC. Circuit unequipped applies to only GSM Phase II
and GSM Phase II Plus.
There is no acknowledgement message in response to the UNEQUIPPED CIRCUIT message in the
circuit unequipped procedure. In addition, the BSC sends the UNEQUIPPED CIRCUIT message to the
MSC only once.

MSC
RESET CIRCUIT
After receiving a RESET CIRCUIT message from the BSC, the MSC removes all the calls on the circuit
and sets the circuit to idle, and then sends a RESET CIRCUIT ACK message to the BSC.
If the BSC does not receive the RESET CIRCUIT ACK message from the MSC, it re-sends a RESET
CIRCUIT message to the MSC only once at an interval. The interval can be set by setting T19 in the SET
BSCTMR command.
The circuit at the BSC is idle even if the BSC does not receive any RESET CIRCUIT ACK message from
the MSC. The procedure for circuit reset can be triggered by running the RST ACIC command on the
LMT.
