Note Each link is identified by its signaling link code ID (SLC). An asterisk indicates
that a link is not configured, or that a poll could not get data for the link. For
example, SLC (*)3 means there is no link associated with the selected linkset for
SLC 3, and SLC 3(*) means there is no link associated with the adjacent linkset
for SLC 3.
Select one of the SLCs. SGM displays the Statistics Details Window for a Link
for that link.
Note This window polls your network periodically. To prevent unnecessary traffic on
your network, close this window when you no longer need to refer to it.
Configuration Data Tab: General Information
To view general information for the selected link, select the Configuration Data
tab.
The General Information sub-section displays the following information for the
selected link:
•Type— Type of link. Possible link types are:
–
HSL—The link uses the SS7-over-ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
high-speed protocol.
–
SCTPIP—The link uses the Stream Control Transmission Protocol
(SCTP) IP transport protocol.
–
Serial—The link uses the serial SS7 signaling protocol.
–
Virtual—The link is a virtual link, which connects signaling point
instances running on the same device. SGM does not poll virtual links,
nor does it display real-time data or accounting statistics for virtual links.
•Is Ignored—Indicates whether the link is Ignored (that is, whether the link
is to be included when aggregating and displaying SGM status information).
•Association ID—For a link of type HSL, Serial, or Virtual, this field has a
value of 0. For a link of type SCTP, the index into the SNMP SCTP
association table.
