Dialogic® Distributed Signaling Interface (DSI) - Signaling and SS7 Products

Routing voice bearer timeslots through the Dialogic DSI Signalling Cards

Requirement

An E1 or T1 is required to transmit both signaling and voice timeslots to the line interface of the Dialogic® Distributed Signaling Interface (DSI) SS7 board. The signaling is processed locally with the voice timeslots cabled to another piece of equipment via a second line interface.

Configuration

The LIU_SC_DRIVE is used to set up a switch path through the board between the receive path of the Line Interface Unit (LIU) and the CT bus, and the SCBUS_LISTEN command establishes a connection from the CT bus to the transmit path of an outgoing timeslot on the Line Interface Unit (LIU).

An example configuration is shown below.

The commands and other parameters are described in the programmer's manual for each board type.

Config.txt based configuration:

Syntax for LIU_SC_DRIVE:

LIU_SC_DRIVE <board_id> <liu_id> <sc_channel> <ts_mask> [<mode>]

These LIU_SC_DRIVE commands drive the receive path of the voice bearer timeslots from the LIUs to the CT bus:

LIU_SC_DRIVE 0 0 512 0xfffefffe
LIU_SC_DRIVE 0 1 542 0xfffefffe

The above commands mean: on Board 0, LIU 0, drive the receive path of 'voice' timeslots up onto the CT bus from channel 512, and on Board 0, LIU 1, drive the receive path of 'voice' time slots up onto the CT bus from channel 542.

In this example the mask used does not drive timeslot 0 and timeslot 16 to the CT bus. Timeslot 16 (assuming that signaling is being carried) can be connected to the signaling processor as normal using the MTP_LINK command. You should not attempt to drive timeslot 0 to the CT bus.

To set the transmit path of the timeslots to listen to the CT bus requires a separate command for each timeslot on each LIU using the SCBUS_LISTEN command.

Syntax for SCBUS_LISTEN: 

SCBUS_LISTEN <board_id> <liu_id> <timeslot> <sc_channel>

Message-based configuration:

You can also use message-based scripts.

When using config.txt, S7_Mgt generates MVD_MSG_SC_DRIVE_LIU from the LIU_SC_DRIVE and MVD_MSG_SC_LISTEN from the LIU_SC_LISTEN commands.

Here is an example of message-based script:

*MVD_MSG_SC_DRIVE_LIU for LIU 0 and LIU1
M-I0000-t7e18-i0000-fef-d10-r8000-p00000200fffefffe0001
M-I0000-t7e18-i0000-fef-d10-r8000-p0001021efffefffe0001

* MVD_MSG_SC_LISTEN on 6 timeslots. (Only 6 shown)
M-I0000-t7e17-i0000-fef-d10-r8000-p000100010200
M-I0000-t7e17-i0000-fef-d10-r8000-p000100020201
