Lucent Technologies 7820-0802-003 manual Parameter, Specifies

Signaling System 7 (SS7)

Configuring an SS7 signaling gateway

Settings in the SS7-Gateway profile configure the signaling interface. The TAOS unit resets the signaling link whenever changes are written to the profile.

Following are the parameters (shown with default settings) for configuring the signaling interface:

[in SS7-GATEWAY] enabled = no control-protocol = asgcp primary-ip-address = 0.0.0.0 primary-tcp-port = 0 secondary-ip-address = 0.0.0.0 secondary-tcp-port = 0 bay-id = ""

system-type = IASCTNT1B

transport-options = { 0 1000 3000 30000 7 6 no } use-system-ip-address-as-source = yes

Parameter

Enabled

Control-Protocol

Primary-IP-Address Primary-TCP-Port

Secondary-IP-Address Secondary-TCP-Port

Bay-ID

Specifies

Enable/disable the interface. When this parameter is set to no (the default), the interface is disabled. When it is set to yes, the interface is enabled if the Primary-IP-Address and Primary-TCP-Port also have valid values. Changing the setting from yes to no closes the signaling links but does not disconnect active SS7 calls.

Control protocol. The asgcp setting enables the unit to terminate data calls by using ASGCP. The ipdc-0.x(XCOM/Level 3 IPDC) setting enables the unit to terminate voice and data using IPDC. If only one SS7 license is enabled, the parameter defaults to that control protocol (asgcp or ipdc-0.x) and cannot be modified. If both licenses are enabled, the parameter defaults to asgcp. See “Specifying the SS7 control protocol” on page 18-6for more information about this parameter.

IP address and TCP port to use for communication with the primary signaling gateway. These settings are required for SS7 operations.

IP address and TCP port to use for communication with a secondary signaling gateway. These settings are optional. If specified, the secondary signaling gateway is used only when the primary gateway is unavailable. The primary and secondary address and port configurations can point to two Ethernet interfaces of the same signaling gateway.

This parameter does not apply when Control-Protocol is set to asgcp. When Control-Protocol is set to ipdc-0.x, the system sends its value as an ASCII string to the media gateway controller in the device registration message. The TAOS unit does not interpret the value. Interpretation on the signaling gateway is gateway dependent.
