Dialogic® DSI SS7MD Programmer’s Manual Issue 3
Chapter 6: Message Reference
This section describes the individual messages that may be sent to or received from a Dialogic® DSI SS7MD Board. Some messages are sent by the user's application software, while others are sent by utility programs such as the s7_mgt protocol configuration utility.
Prior to sending any message to the board, the application should call the GCT_set_instance( ) library function to select which board the message will be sent to. After receiving a message from the board, the application should call the GCT_get_instance( ) library function to determine which board the message came from. These library functions are described in the Software Environment Programmer's Manual.
The various messages used are grouped in the following categories:
•

Q.SAAL Module
Event Indication Messages

Table 7, “Message Summary” on page 115 provides a summary of all messages. The message header for all messages has the same general format. See the Message Format appendix in the Software Environment Programmer’s Manual for more information.
