NMS SS7 provides a standard configuration program to read the SS7 (including TCAP) configuration from a set of text files and download the configuration to the SS7 tasks running on the TX board. Refer to the NMS SS7 Configuration Manual for information. The configuration program (tcapcfg) is distributed in both source and executable form. The executable can be used as a standalone configuration tool. The source can be used as a guide for developing a configuration utility using TCAP management functions.
The TCAP layer supports the following configuration entities:
Configuration |
Description |
General |
The general configuration defines the resource allocation for the TCAP layer:
The general configuration is loaded only once at system boot time and must be loaded before any other configuration entities. |
User SAPs |
One user SAP is defined for each application using the TCAP layer services. A user SAP is associated with a single subsystem number and protocol switch type (ANSI-88, ANSI-92, ITU-88, ITU-92, or ITU-97). The user SAP defines the default timer values for invokes issued on the SAP and identifies the SCCP user SAP to be used. Additional user SAPs can be added later, up to the maximum number specified in the general configuration. |
