Type

EXS API and SwitchKit API message

Description

SS7 Signaling Link Set Query 0x0064

This message allows the host to query information on a signaling link set.

NOTE: Every point code in API messages will always be 4 bytes long with the first byte MSB as zero. See Signaling System 7 in the API Developer’s Guide: CCS for an explanation of how to convert the 4 bytes for APC into ITU and ANSI point codes.
