5 Program Execution

5.3Program Execution under Solaris

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 optionally specifying the system configuration file.

To run the system in the foreground enter:

gctload -csystem.txt

To run it in the background 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

To shutdown the host software run gctload using the –xparameter:

gctload –x

Any modules that have been started by gctload are terminated automatically.

5.4Developing a User Application

The development package, with the User Part Development Package, contains the files to allow the user to develop applications. These consist of makefile definitions, C header files (.h), and libraries.

A single definitions file is supplied (for each operating system) containing the definitions relating to the user's own development environment. This file is then included in the make files for all other processes. The user may need to modify this definitions file to ensure correct paths etc are set up.

The definitions file is called one of the following depending on the operating system:

makdefs.mnt (Windows®)

makdefs.mlx (Linux)

makdefs.ms2 (Solaris)

The following library files must be linked with the users application code:

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.
