Appendix A Protocol Configuration Using Discrete Messages
A.2 | Monitoring Configuration Using Individual Messages |
To configure the board for monitoring it using individual messages, proceed as follows:
1.Build and send an SSD Reset Request to the SSD module. This contains the parameters to initialize the SSD module.
2.Build and send a Board Reset Request for each board in the system. This message contains the address (or identifier) of the board and the name of the codefile. It causes the board to be reset and the codefile downloaded. For each board, the application should wait until a Board Status Indication is received and inspect the status field to determine if the reset operation was successful. On failure, the user should check carefully the parameters and try again. On success, the user should continue with the next step.
3.Build and send a Board Configuration Request (MGT_MSG_CONFIG0) to the onboard management task (MGMT_TASK_ID) to configure the basic board parameters. When using DSI SS7MD Boards, the value of the config_type parameter in the Board Configuration Request must be set to 3. For this version of the message, the automatic configuration of MTP parameters is not supported. Wait for the confirmation message and check the status.
4.To set up the LIU and port for the T1/E1 ports, the LIU Configuration Request (LIU_MSG_CONFIG) should be used. For monitoring, the high_Z parameter must be set to 2. Wait for the confirmation message for each LIU and check the status.
For each link in the system:
5.Build and send a Layer 1 Configuration Request (MGT_MSG_L1_CONFIG) to set up the physical configuration parameters for the link. This message should be sent to the onboard management module. Wait for the confirmation message and check the status.
6.Build and send an MTP2 Link Configuration Request (SS7_MSG_CONFIG) to set up the MTP2 configuration parameters for monitoring operation. See the MTP2 Programmer’s Manual for the message definition. Wait for the confirmation message and check the status.
7.Build and send a Network Time Configuration (MGT_MSG_NTP_CONFIG) message to each Signaling Processor Management Module present.
