7.9.1TCAP_CONFIG – Configure TCAP
Synopsis
The TCAP_CONFIG command provides the TCAP operating parameters and, when used, must appear after the SCCP_SSR or DTC_SSR commands. This command should only be used when an SCCP_CONFIG or DTC_CONFIG command is present. The use of the TCAP_CONFIG command is not required and TCAP is configured with default values if the TCAP_CONFIG command is not present.
By default, TCAP is configured with 32k incoming and 32k outgoing dialogs. The TCAP_CONFIG command must be used to change these parameters for systems requiring a different number of dialogs.
Syntax
TCAP_CONFIG <base_ogdlg_id> <nog_dialogues> <base_icdlg_id> <nic_dialogues> <options> <dlg_hunt> [<addr_format>]
