SS7 Signaling Link Set Configure 0x005D

SwitchKit Name

SS7SignalingLinkSetConfig

Type

EXS API and SwitchKit API message

Description

SS7 Signaling Link Set Configure 0x005D

This message allows the host to define and subsequently deconfigure a signaling link set, which is a load-sharing collection of signaling links connected to an adjacent signaling node. The link set and stack must be configured before the signaling links.

You can also set this message to deconfigure a link set.

Example Message (Socket Log Output for SwitchKit)

The following example message defines a signaling link set with an OPC for a signaling stack that uses 24-bit point codes (ANSI).

: | APC (four bytes) SS7 network address of the adjacent signaling node. Every point code in the API messages will always be 4 bytes long with the first byte (MSB) as zero. See the SS7 section of the API Developer's Guide: CCS for an explanation of how to convert the 4 bytes into ITU and ANSI point codes. 0x00000000– 0x00FFFFFF The APC must be in this range for signaling stacks using a 24-bit point code (for example ANSI). 0x00000000– 0x00003FFF The APC must be in this range for signaling stacks using a 14-bit point code (for example, ITU). 0xFFFFFFFF Indicates deconfiguration of the specified link set. You can perform deconfiguration only after each link and route previously assigned to the link set has been deconfigured.
