Working with Signaling Points
Editing Signaling Point Properties
To edit a signaling point’s properties, such as its name or associated icon,
right-click the signaling point in a window, select Edit>Properties in the
right-click menu. SGM displays the Edit Properties Dialog for a Signaling Point
(Figure 3-33).
Figure3-33 Edit Properties Dialog for a Signaling Point
By default, the Name field displays the signaling point’s point code and network
name, as discovered by SGM (for example, 1.22.0:net0). However, you can use
this field to specify a new, more meaningful name for the signaling point, keeping
in mind the following considerations:
•The new name can be from 1 to 30 characters, and can contain any letters,
numbers, or special characters. If you enter a name that is longer than 30
characters, SGM beeps and retains the current name.
•If you leave the Name field blank, SGM reverts to the signaling point’s point
code, without the network name.
The Icon Name drop-down list box displays the name of the graphic icon to
assign to this signaling point in topology maps. SGM automatically assigns an
appropriate icon to each discovered Cisco ITP, and to Unknown signaling points,
but you can use this field to assign a different icon (for example, if you know that
a given Unknown signaling point is a mobile switching center).
When SGM discovers a single-instance node, it assigns the icon that corresponds
to the node. When SGM discovers a multi-instance node, it assigns a separate icon
for each unique signaling point instance.
