Signaling System 7 (SS7)
Configuring an SS7 signaling gateway
For some sites, administrative policy or other constraints introduce a requirement to use the system address for some purposes, but to use a separate source address for communication with the signaling gateway. For example, although a site might require a certain system address for compatibility with other routers, this requirement might cause an address space conflict, or might cause delays and
To enable sites to integrate TAOS units into their infrastructure and at the same time communicate efficiently with signaling gateways, the following parameter (shown with its default value) was introduced:
[in
When this parameter is set to no, the TAOS unit does not use the system address as its source address for signaling packets. Instead, it uses the IP address of the Ethernet interface on which the signaling packets are sent. When the parameter is set to yes, the TAOS unit uses the same system address for signaling packets as for all other packets generated by the system.
Example of a basic configuration
The following commands configure an
admin> read
admin> set enabled = yes
admin> set
admin> write
Note: For the link to become active, the signaling gateway must have a matching entry for the TAOS unit. For information about configuring the signaling gateway, see the documentation that came with the unit.
