Dialogic SS7G22, SS7G21 manual Product Environmental Information

Dialogic® SS7G21 and SS7G22 Signaling Servers Hardware Manual Issue 7

Note that for some geographic regions, and subject to limitations, the T1/E1 ports of SS7HDP boards in SS7G22 products may be connected to “outside plant” signal conductors, and therefore become TNV-1 circuits. If your application needs to use these TNV-1 capabilities, then you must consult the Installation Guide and Regulatory Notices of the SS7HDP for detailed information, including SAFETY WARNINGS, and service instructions. In summary, these are the subjects to which attention must be paid:

•Direct connection to “outside plant” signal conductors (metallic) is not approved in USA.

•Direct connection to “outside plant” signal conductors (metallic) in Finland, Sweden, Norway, is conditional on meeting “Additional Safety Requirements”.

•The Top Cover of the product must be securely fastened at all times. For service operations, by Qualified Service Technician, requiring removal of the Top Cover, all interface cords must be disconnected from the telecommunications network.

•Segregation of TNV and SELV cables.

The telecommunication interfaces of these products are described in Section 3.4, “PCM Interface” on page 16 and Section 6.4, “PCM Interface Ports” on page 35. The interfaces are primary rate telecommunications (PCM) interfaces, configurable as T1 or E1 interfaces, with selectable line code and frame format. For information on setting the product configuration, see the appropriate SS7G2x <Operating Mode> User Manual. Section 2.10, “Related Information” on page 13 lists the various user manuals. The installer or developer must ensure that the products are configured to give an implementation that complies with the services offered by the local Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) operator. Application developers implementing supplementary services at the application level must ensure that their implementation complies with the services offered by the local Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) operator. In case of doubt, network specifications must be consulted. In the European Union, the R&TTE Directive imposes that each PSTN operator makes such specifications available.

The telecommunication (PCM) interfaces of the SS7 Signaling Boards have been successfully tested against TBR12 and TBR13 when configured for E1 operation.
