5 Program Execution

This chapter describes how to start the software running. It assumes that the software has already been installed and the configuration files system.txt and config.txt have been modified accordingly. Refer to previous sections if unsure.

There are three main stages to get a new application up and running although the procedure may vary slightly depending on the operating system.

1)The device driver must be installed and running.

2)The protocol software running on the host must be run up.

3)Write your application (making use of the examples supplied), compile it (using the header files supplied), and link it with the supplied libraries to generate a finished application program.

The details of how these steps are achieved for each operating system are given below.

5.1Program Execution under Windows®

Ensure the device driver has been installed and the system configuration file (system.txt) has been modified according to the system requirements to select the correct protocols etc.

Ensure the code file has been copied to the directory containing the SS7 binaries.

If using s7_mgt, ensure the protocol configuration file config.txt has been edited to provide protocol configuration.

To start the software running, change to the directory containing the binaries and run gctload in the background, optionally specify the system configuration file.

To run the system in a separate console, enter:

start gctload -csystem.txt

To run the system within the current console, enter:

gctload -csystem.txt

The gctload program initializes the system environment and starts up other processes. The s7_mgt process configures all the protocol modules. A banner confirms that the system is running.

The example utility mtpsl may be used to activate and deactivate signaling links as follows:

mtpsl { act deact } <linkset_id> <link_ref>

mtpsl act 0 0 mtpsl deact 0 0

The host software can be shutdown by running gctload from the command line using the –x command line option as follows:

gctload -x

DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards specifications

Dialogic DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards are highly advanced and versatile communication solutions tailored for the demands of modern telephony and multimedia applications. These boards are designed to efficiently process voice, data, and signaling, making them an essential component for businesses looking to enhance their communication capabilities.

One of the standout features of the Dialogic DSI SPCI boards is their ability to handle multiple telephony protocols. This flexibility allows users to connect to various network types, whether PSTN, VoIP, or legacy systems, ensuring seamless interoperability. The boards support industry-standard protocols such as ISDN, SS7, and SIP, enabling integrated communication across diverse platforms.

The technology behind the Dialogic DSI SPCI boards incorporates state-of-the-art digital signal processing (DSP). This powerful DSP architecture provides efficient encoding and decoding of voice and video signals, leading to enhanced call quality and reduced latency. Moreover, the DSP technology supports advanced codecs, ensuring that voice communication is clear and intelligible, even over bandwidth-limited connections.

Another significant characteristic of these boards is their scalability. Organizations can start with a single board and expand their telecommunication capabilities as their needs grow. This scalability makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from small businesses to large enterprises, allowing for easy integration into existing infrastructures.

In addition to their powerful processing capabilities, Dialogic DSI SPCI boards also prioritize reliability and robustness. They are designed with a focus on fault tolerance, ensuring that telephony services remain uninterrupted even in the event of hardware failure. This resilience is critical for mission-critical applications where downtime can lead to significant revenue loss.

Furthermore, the boards feature extensive application development support. Developers can leverage the Dialogic API and various development kits to create custom telephony applications that meet specific business requirements. This programmability opens the door to innovative solutions, such as interactive voice response (IVR) systems, automated call distribution (ACD), and customer relationship management (CRM) integration.

In summary, Dialogic DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards are a cornerstone for organizations looking to innovate their telecommunication systems. With their support for multiple protocols, advanced DSP technology, scalability, reliability, and development support, these boards empower businesses to optimize their communication strategies and adapt to the evolving landscape of digital interaction.
