Example Configurations and TCAP API Messaging

Overview

Four sample configuration files are included with the release software showing the steps required for basic and SCCP/TCAP-specific configuration. These files are shown further on in this section.

Descriptions of Sample *.cfg Files

The sample configuration is for one node with two SS7 stacks in loop-back mode. Each stack simulates an SS7 node. The sample configuration files are summarized below:

• "itumtp.cfg" includes the configuration for the two SS7 stacks (including the SCCP/TCAP module) and MTP configuration. The following configuration is performed:

• SS7 spans

• signaling stacks, link sets, links, and routes

• bring spans, channels, and links in service

• "sccp.cfg" includes SCCP-related configuration information. There are two subsystems configured for each stack. The following configuration is performed:

• SCCP local SSN

• Adjacent translators

• Other Concerned Point Codes (optional)

• Bring SSNs in service with N_STATE Request in PPL Event Request message.

• Network DPC/SSN (for direct routing to a network SSN)

• "unitdata.cfg" is an example of using SCCP N-UNITDATA service.

• "begin.cfg" is an example of using TCAP service by invoking the ITU TC_INVOKE and TC_BEGIN primitives. ITUMTP.CFG -- Sample Configuration File

TCAP primitive #1

This example along with the next one, TCAP Primitive #2, show how to map the TCAP Primitive Interface to the TCAP Primitive Set Interface.

-- TC_INVOKE request

TCAP primitive #2

TC_BEGIN request

TCAP Primitive Set

It may be helpful to compare this example to the previous examples, TCAP Primitive #1 and TCAP Primitive #2.

TC_BEGIN primitive set request (with TC_Invoke component)

Range of channels provided by T1 or E1 transmission service. A physical span is a group of channels taking up a single physical wire. A logical span is a group of channels taking up less than a single logical wire, or carried over more than one physical wire.
The condition of a component at a given instant. The current "context" of a PPL object, such as Idle, Seizing, Answered. In PPL files, a State is represented by a circle.
