If a cell is too small to show all of its data, place the cursor over the cell to see the
full data in a mouse over help popup.
You can resize each column, or sort the table based on the information in one of
the columns. See the “Resizing, Sorting, and Hiding Table Columns” section on
page 3-279 for more details.
By default, SGM displays all of the columns in the Signaling Point Table except
Internal ID, Instance ID, and Last Status Change. To display these columns, or
to hide other columns, see the procedures in the “Modifying Node Table Column
Settings” section on page5-16.
The Signaling Point Table displays the following information about signaling
points that are associated with the selected node:
•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.
