Chapter 2 Using SS7Cfg to Configure Your Gateway

Using SS7Cfg to Directly Manipulate the Registry

Step 3 Select a gateway for export by either selecting the gateway instance in the tree and clicking the OK button, or by double-clicking the gateway name in the tree control.

The SS7Cfg application determines the selected gateway’s type and verifies that the current configuration matches. If an attempt is made to export a configuration to a Registry hierarchy of the wrong type, a dialog box displays a message about this inconsistency.

If a previously configured gateway location is selected, the SS7Cfg application creates a backup of the pre-existing configuration in a key that lies in parallel to the exported “CurrentVersion” sub-key of the gateway. This backup key is created using a name which is a combination of the word “backupVersion” and a string representing the current date and time. The backup key can be kept indefinitely or deleted from the Registry once the new configuration is verified to be functionally correct.

A shortcut is also provided from the main window. If the Customer and Node names have been set from the main configuration window (this information is part of the “Node” layer), then right-clicking on either name displays a context menu with the Export to this node option.
