Chapter 7 Configuration Overview
Use the C7LSI command to initiate a link set with the same values for the OPC and DPC parameters and the value of the DUAL parameter set to zero.
7.6.2.3M2PA Inter Unit Signaling Links
The Signaling Gateway supports the use of M2PA SIGTRAN links for inter Signaling Gateway communication. M2PA SS7 links use the SCTP IP protocol to transmit signaling data. Use of IP links between the units rather than TDM SS7 links allow the systems to be able to present a greater number of TDM links and PCMs to face the SS7 network. In addition, since the Signaling Gateway supports two IP ports and M2PA supports IP multihoming, resilience between the units can be gained using redundant IP networks rather than the two SS7 boards that would be required to offer the same level of resilience.
7.6.2.4Example
Figure 11 is an example of a DUAL resilient configuration using M2PA links for the resilient links between units.
