The first link defined in the NA SS7 Monitor Software configuration file is always half link 0 (zero), the second is always link 1, and so on.
The following table lists general configuration parameters and values:
Parameter |
Value |
Default |
Description |
RECV_FISU |
TRUE|FALSE |
FALSE |
When TRUE, FISUs are forwarded to the host application. |
RECV_LSSU |
TRUE|FALSE |
FALSE |
When TRUE, LSSUs are forwarded to the host application. |
MTP2HDR |
TRUE|FALSE |
FALSE |
When TRUE, MTP2 headers are forwarded to the host application. |
NUM_BUFS |
50 - 1000 |
500 |
Count of the buffers to use to send data indications to the host. |
SIZE_BUFS |
300 - 1900 |
1000 |
Size of the buffers to use to send data indications to the host. |
TIMER_TIND |
0 - 60 |
5 |
Number of seconds to wait until forwarding a data indication to the host. If zero, send one packet per buffer immediately. |
The following table lists the monitoring link parameters and values. All parameters are optional (default values are shown) except the LINK port assignment and the terminating END statement.
Parameter |
Value |
Default |
Description |
DATA_ENC |
NRZ or NRZI |
NRZ |
Data encoding (NRZ or NRZ inverted). |
LINK |
T1-T128 |
None |
Link index. |
LINK_TYPE |
ANSI, ITU, ANSI_EXT, or ITU_EXT |

None |
Maps to TDM port parameter. Note: The maximum port number for TX 5000 Series boards is determined by licensing options with a maximum of 128 ports available. |
PORT_TYPE |
TDM |
TDM |
Port type. Serial ports are no longer supported. |
SIZE_BUFFER |
300 - 500 |
400 |
Size of buffer in pool (Dialogic does not recommend changing this parameter.) |
