Variant Entry

Topic Location: ClientView Pane Reference

Description:

This pane is used to customize an SS7 or CAS signaling variant. When configuring a Signaling Variant, the following happens:

 

A new variant is created and user then configures an SS7 stack or CAS Channel Group based on that variant. The appropriate messages will be sent to the physical IMG at the appropriate time in the configuration automatically. For example, if the user creates an SS7 variant and under that variant the SS7 Route components are modified, those modifications are sent to the physical IMG only when an SS7 route is configured under an SS7 stack based on the created variant.

 

NOTE: Once a custom variant is assigned to an SS7 stack or CAS Channel Group you cannot modify or delete an existing entry in the variant. The entry must be deleted and re-added

 

NOTE: If a variant is assigned to a CAS channel group or SS7 stack the variant cannot be deleted. The entry must be deleted and re-added

Field Descriptions (CAS)

ClientView Default Pane:

 

 

Base Variant:

This field indicates the base variant to be used. This field will be automatically populated based on the Variant Type field in the Signaling Variant object pane that this Variant Entry is being added to.

 

PPL Component ID:

The PPL component to be configured. This drop down menu will be different for each Variant. (CAS, SS7, SIP-T)

 

PPL Entity Type:

The PPL Entity to be configured.

 

PPL Entity ID:

The PPL table Entity ID is set by the Variant ID. Each Variant has a different set of ID's. See Below

 

PPL Entity Value:

 

PPL Entity File:

The PPL Entity File field is used to select the .cfg file which contains the PPL configuration messages to download for that component. This field is available when the PPL Entity type selected is PPL Tables or when the PPL Component ID is 0xFF – Generic File. All the .cfg files should be in the path:

 

/opt/cantata/IMG/config/Variant/”VariantName” (Software 10.3.3 to 10.5.0)

 

on the Linux host.

PPL Entity Type:

The PPL Entity to be configured are.

 

When the Component ID is 0xFF (Generic File) the PPL Entity Type field manages which point in the configuration the file set when the PPL Entity File field is sent to the node. The choices for the PPL Entity Type field are:

 

PPL Entity ID:

 

If the Component ID is 0xff Generic File then the Entity ID is "Not Used"

 

PPL Entity Value:

This field applies to PPL Config Bytes only. The Value for the Config Byte to be configured.

 

If the Component ID is 0xff Generic File then the Entity Value is "Not Used"

 

PPL Entity File:

The PPL Entity File field is used to select the .cfg file containing the PPL configuration messages to download for that component. This field is available when the PPL Entity type selected is PPL Tables or when The PPL Component ID is 0xFF – Generic File.

All the .cfg files should be in the path:

 

/opt/cantata/IMG/config/Variant/”VariantName”   (Software 10.3.3 to 10.5 0)
