Configuring MTP3-to-Host

Download License

Before you can configure this feature, you must download the license as follows:

Send the Product License Download (0x0079) message with the Product License (0x24) ICB containing key type 0x3134. This key type enables the MTP3-to-Host feature.

Configure

Follow the steps below to configure the MTP3-to-Host feature.

1. Ensure that the SS7 stack is configured with local ISUP.

2. Send the PPL Configure (0x00D7) message to the CSP with configuration byte 0x19 set to 0x02 (Remote Host) on component 0x002B (MTP3 HMDT).
Refer to PPL Configuration Bytes for HMDT Component (0x002B).

3. (Optional Step). You can force the routing of the messages to a particular port. Configure byte 0x29 on component 0x002B.
For example, a value of 0x02 forces the PPL Transfer Indication message to be sent to port 0x3144 (no indication received on any other port). The host can still send the Transfer Request messages from any port.
