8 Host Utilities

8.6s7_mgt

Description

The s7_mgt utility performs one-time protocol configuration for all protocol modules, deriving the configuration parameters from a text file (config.txt by default). This process is optional. As an alternative, the user may elect to perform protocol configuration by sending messages directly to the other modules in the system. See Appendix A, “Protocol Configuration Using Discrete Messages” for more information.

Syntax

s7_mgt [-v -k<config_file> -m<module_id> -i<notify_id> -d]

Command Line Options

The s7_mgt utility supports the following command line options:

-v

Show version information.

-k<config file>

Specifies the SS7 configuration file. The default is config.txt.

-m<module id>

Specifies the unique module ID that is assigned to s7_mgt for the Inter Process Communication (IPC) environment. The module ID may be entered in decimal or hexadecimal (prefixed by 0x) format. If the module ID is not specified, the utility uses a module ID of 0xcf. The module ID assigned must have a corresponding LOCAL entry in the system.txt file and must not be in use by any other process on the host.

-i<notify module id>

The module to which an indication is sent when the configuration is complete.

-d

Enable diagnostic tracing.

Example

To run the s7_mgt utility as module ID 0xdf with the file my_config.txt as its configuration file and notifying the module 0xef on completion, the command is:

s7_mgt -m0xdf -kmy_config.txt -i0xef
