Working with Signaling Points
The Signaling Point Window displays the following information for all
discovered signaling points:
•Internal ID—Internal ID of the signaling point. The internal ID is a unique
ID for every event, link, linkset, node, and signaling point, assigned by SGM
for its own internal use. It can also be useful when the TAC is debugging
problems.
•Name—Name of the signaling point.
•Node—Name of the node associated with this signaling point.
•Instance ID—ID of the instance associated with the signaling point.
•Instance Name—Name of the instance associated with the signaling point.
•Point Code—Primary point code of the signaling point.
•Vari ant —SS7 protocol variant. Valid variants are:
–
ANSI
–
China
–
ITU
•Network Indicator—Determines the type of call that is being placed. Valid
values are:
–
National—National-bound call. SGM routes national calls through the
national network.
–
NationalSpare—National-bound call, used in countries in which more
than one carrier can share a point code. In those countries, networks are
differentiated by the Network Indicator.
–
International—International-bound call. SGM forwards
international-bound calls to an STP pair that acts as an international
gateway.
–
InternationalSpare—International-bound call, used in countries in
which more than one carrier can share a point code. In those countries,
networks are differentiated by the Network Indicator.
•Notes—Indicates whether there is a note associated with the signaling point.
