Dialogic® DSI SS7MD Programmer’s Manual Issue 3
Chapter 1: Introduction
Dialogic→ DSI SS7MD Network Interface Boards are specialized T1/E1/J1 SS7 signaling boards suitable for use in PCI Express form factor systems. The boards use the common Dialogic→ DSI software API to the application that enables applications to be easily ported.
The boards provide a hardware platform to enable running Dialogic→ DSI Protocol Stacks for the realization of Signaling System Number 7 signaling nodes. In addition, the DSI SS7MD Boards can be used to build high performance monitoring applications. The boards can be used under the Linux and Solaris operating systems.
