This chapter describes the general steps for configuring SG7000 data, principles and precautions.
The hardware data and local data must be configured first as they help in configuring other data.
Configure protocol data (including narrowband protocol data and broadband protocol data)
according to actual networking applications. Do not perform the protocol configuration steps
which are not involved. Figure 1-1 lists the procedures of the SG7000 data configuration.
l During the deployment, you must configure the global data of the SG7000 because the
database is empty.
l During operation, modify certain network environment data when, for instance, you add a
network element or modify link data.
1.1.1 Overview
The SG7000 data configuration consists of the hardware data, local office data, and protocol
data configuration. The hardware data and local data must be configured first as they help in
configuring other data. Configure protocol data according to actual networking applications. Do
not perform the protocol configuration steps which are not involved.
1.1.2 Configuration Tasks
In actual application, the contents configured in each step may be different.
1.1.1 Overview
The SG7000 data configuration consists of the hardware data, local office data, and protocol
data configuration. The hardware data and local data must be configured first as they help in

Step Operation
Step Operation
Table 1-2 lists the configuration tasks of each step in Table 1-1.
Hardware data configuration Adding work status of the trunk interface board
Adding the GT
SCTP data configuration Setting the SCTP initialization parameter data (optional)
l The cabinet, frame, and slot numbers of a board should not conflict with each other. The
data describing the same object cannot be configured repeatedly.
l All data should be configured within the corresponding ranges.
l The red parameters of the commands in the assistant command input window are
mandatory.
l Boards or frames configured with links or connections cannot be deleted; and links or
connections without boards or frames cannot be added, either.
l Data of originating point code (OPC), destination point code (DPC), link set or association
set that are being referenced cannot be deleted.
They can be configured optionally based on the actual situation. For example, if the SG7000
performs the signaling transfer between two narrowband signaling points (SPs), only the
configuration of the MTP management data is required.
l Some parameters of signaling management part can be configured only after the negotiation
with the peer end.
l Usually, the default values are adopted for setting the software configuration parameter
(SET SOFTCFG) and the SCTP initialization parameter (SET SCTPINIT). Modify them
carefully to avoid the adverse effect on the system operation.
l When configuring data for the first time, configure the data offline, load the data online
and reload the data through the steps in Table 1-3.
Configure data -
Power off the board and then power it on Power off to load data and then power on.
to load the data
l Usually, the data is configured online during daily maintenance. Most commands can be
set online but a few commands require loading.
l To learn more about parameters, press F1 to obtain the online help information of
commands.
l When the MML terminal is used to set the data, set the data in the offline mode, when you
configure the data in the office deployment for the first time, or when you configure large
volume of data. Run SET OPMODE, and set LN to LOFF. After the data is configured,
run SET OPMODE and set LN to LON to load the data. Data is usually configured online,
and the command prompt will instruct you how to proceed with the configuration.
l When you type a command in the assistant command input window, the parameters in red
are mandatory. The other parameters can remain as default values if they do not conflict
with other configurations.
l To set the data, select the appropriate command in the navigation tree on the operation and
maintenance interface of LMT, and then double click it to display the input window of the
command.
l Press F1 or click Help in the window to learn how to use the command in detail.
l If you are not familiar with the navigation tree, you can type the keyword of the command
in the Search interface to find the command.
You can perform the following steps to prepare the data configuration script on another BAM in advance.
Step 1 Select System > Save input command on the operation and maintenance interface of the LMT
to make the scripts. You can specify the name of file and path to store the scripts.
The script file is a CMD* TXT text file. The "*" stands for the time (year-month-date) when the
command is saved.
For example, CMD-0501251750 stands for the script saved at 2005-01-25 17:50.
Step 2 Then input a command in the assistant command input window to configure the data.
Step 3 Select System > Save on the menu bar after the configuration to save the script.
----End
Step 2 On the LMT, run SET OPMODE: LN=LOFF to set the data management module to offline
mode.
Step 3 Select System > Execute batch commands and choose the prepared data script in the pop-up
dialog box.
Step 5 On the LMT, run SET OPMODE: LN=LON to set the data management module to online
mode.
If the commands to be processed in batch are few, you can run the batch command without setting the data
management module to offline mode.
When the equipment is working normally, you can add or modify the data in an online mode.
----End
DSP It is used to display the data in the host, or the state of relevant equipment
and resources.
Database Category
The SG7000 database can be categorized as host database and BAM database by the storage
location as follows:
l Host database
The host database is stored on each board of the host. It stores the data which is closely
related to the operation of the host. These boards include HSYS, SBPU/SBPE, and SBPI.
l Background database
The background database is the SQL database stored in the BAM hard disk. It stores the
data which supports the operation of the host. It consists of the BAM database, alarm
database, and traffic measurement database. The BAM database is most related to the host
database because it contains all information about generating the host database.
Function
The command to set the online mode is SET OPMODE. It determines whether to set the data in
online or offline mode on the clients (including the general workstation, the emergency
workstation, and the BAM) of the SG7000 terminal system. When the BAM is reset, the system
sets the data online by default.
Parameter
Paramete Paramete Parameter Description
r ID r Name
Operation Example
Enter the online mode.
SET OPMODE: LN=LON;
Function
After setting the data offline, you must format all the data with the command FMT and load the
data to the corresponding board in the host.
Parameter
None.
Operation Example
Convert data format.
FMT:;
The equipment data in the host is classified into the backup data, static data, and dynamic data:
l The backup data is stored in the FLASH memory of a board and it is loaded by loading
module when the board is started, so backup data is also called FLASH data.
l The static data is generated based on the backup data during the data management
initialization and it is stored in the memory.
l The dynamic data is generated based on the static data after the data management
initialization and it adopts the structure defined by its own protocol and service module.
For data inconsistency, proceed as follows:
1. Inconsistency between the HSYS and BAM: You can run RST DBTBL to restore the data;
otherwise, you must re-load all boards.
2. Inconsistency between the HSYS and other boards: You can run RST TBL to restore the
data; otherwise, you must re-load this board.
3. Inconsistency between the active HSYS and standby HSYS: You can re-load the HSYS.
4. You can restore data only by re-loading.
ACT CNSCHK:;
TBLID Table ID It specifies the ID of the data table to be compared between the
host and the BAM. It is mandatory.
Function
The BAM database backup file includes the following:
l The host load data file is under the directory of D:\SGDATA on the BAM hard disk. The format of
the name of the file is db_? .STP, db_?.SV, or db_?$. STP. db_?$. SV. And the db_?$. SV. db_?$. SV
are the compressed file of the corresponding db_?$. STP. db_?$. SV.
l To decrease the communication flow between the BAM and the host, and to increase the loading speed,
save all the load data files sent from the BAM to the host by internal Ethernet in the format db_?$.STP
or db_?.SV.
After you run the command, a BAM database file with the name format
BamYYYYMMDD.dat and a BAM registry file with the name format BamReg.bak are auto
generated under the directory E:\MSSQL\SGDATA on the BAM hard disk. The two files
restore the BAM database when it fails.
Parameter
None.
Operation Example
Back up the BAM database and registry.
BKP DB:;
Hardware data is part of the basic data of the SG7000. It defines the physical hardware, physical
port and relevant information of the SG7000. This chapter tells the concept and steps of
configuring the hardware data of the SG7000.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 2-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
Cabinet Number
On the 16IP platform, the SG7000 can be installed with up to five cabinets numbered from 0 to
4.
Main control cabinet must be configured and its number is always 0. Expansion cabinets can be
configured according to different conditions of networking and capacity, and numbered serially
(from left to right or from right to left). See Figure 2-2.
Frame Number
Each frame is allocated with the following two numbers:
l Physical frame number: a number allocated within the cabinet
l Logical frame number: a number allocated in the whole system
NOTE
The parameter Frame number in the command ADD BRD is a physical number rather than a logical
number.
The system supports up to 16 frames. The numbering principle of the physical number is as
follows.
The frames in a cabinet are numbered from 0 from bottom to top. The main control cabinet can
hold two frames, of which the main control frame is always numbered 0. Expansion cabinets
1-3 can hold four frames respectively and the frames are numbered 0, 1, 2 and 3 from bottom
to top. Expansion cabinet 4 can hold up to two frames and the frames are numbered 0 and 1 from
bottom to top. See Figure 2-2.
The logical number of frame is set by the 8-bit DIP switch S3 on the high-level system board
back interface unit (HBIU) boards, which are the back boards inserted in slot 6 and slot 8. You
must set the same frame number for slots 6 and 8 in the same frame.
Table 2-1 shows the logical frame numbers set by the HBIU DIP switch S3.
Table 2-1 Relationship between switch bit and logical frame number
0 ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON
1 OFF ON ON ON ON ON ON ON
2 ON OFF ON ON ON ON ON ON
3 OFF OFF ON ON ON ON ON ON
4 ON ON OFF ON ON ON ON ON

6 ON OFF OFF ON ON ON ON ON
8 ON ON ON OFF ON ON ON ON
9 OFF ON ON OFF ON ON ON ON
10 ON OFF ON OFF ON ON ON ON
12 ON ON OFF OFF ON ON ON ON
Slot Number
The frame of the SG7000 can be inserted with front boards and back boards. The front boards
are numbered 0-20 from left to right, and the corresponding back boards are numbered 0-20
from right to left, so there are 21 pairs of slots in all.
An SG7000 board has its own place in a frame. Figure 2-3 shows the arrangement of boards in
the main control frame.
Clock Scheme
For the clock scheme of the SG7000, see the U-SYS SG7000 Operation Manual - System
Principle.
ADD CKISTAT and ADD LIP. The index numbers of the three commands are allocated by
system after the ADD commands are executed.
Before configuring the signaling E1 peripheral interface unit (SEPU), clock interface unit (CKII)
and signaling broadband processing interface (SBPI), pay attention to the following:
l Before adding the SEPU, configure the state of trunk interface board with ADD
TRUNKSTAT to obtain Board property indicator.
l Before adding the CKII, configure the state of clock board with ADD CKISTAT to obtain
Board property indicator.
l Before adding the SBPI, configure the local IP address with ADD LIP to obtain Board
property indicator.
l Add other types of boards with ADD BRD directly.
Clock reference Providing trunk board slot of Providing E1/T1 port of the
source of the CKII the CKII clock source CKII clock source
If the SG7000 is configured with the SBPI, the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway of
the FE interface must be configured. If no SBPI is configured, such parameters are not needed.
l Configure all types of boards according to the corresponding relationship between boards
and slots in Figure 2-3 (main service frame) and Figure 2-4 (slave service frame).
l Configure subboards (SLPU or SHPU) of the same type on the same SBPU. If two SLPUs
or SHPUs are configured, one can be the SLPU/SHPU-2M and the other one can be the
SLPU/SHPU-64K.
l You can configure subboards (SLPU, SHPU, or SHPE) of the same type on the same SBPU,
or one SHPU and one SHPE on the same SBPU. If two SLPUs or SHPUs are configured,
one can be the SLPU/SHPU-2M and the other one can be the SLPU/SHPU-64K.
l The SBPIs are configured in slots 5 and 10 in pairs, and they work in active/stand or load
sharing mode. The load sharing mode is recommended. The SBPIs can also be configured
in other symmetrical slots by taking slots 6 - 9 as the core, such as slots 5 and 10, slots 4
and 11 and slots 3 and 12. If only one SBPI is configured, neither of the front slot and back
slot of its symmetrical slot can be configured with other boards, such as SBPU and SEPU.
l If the clock source of the CKII is the line clock on the SEPU, it is recommended that the
two line clocks on the same CKII are from the SEPUs connecting different office directions
to achieve the backup of line 1 and line 2. If the clock source of the CKII is on the BITS,
it is recommended that the two BITS clocks on the same CKII are from different BITSs to
achieve the backup of BITS1 and BITS2.
l No configuration is needed for HBIU, HSCU, VIEB and UPWR. They can be put into use
after being powered on.

It must be configured based on actual conditions.
CH110 TDM chip It specifies which clock source is chosen for the TDM chip, that
clock is, for the trunk board (the TDM chip is on the trunk board).
source It is mandatory and its value is of enumeration type. It can be set
selection to:
l LB (Crystal oscillation of the board): The clock is provided by
the board itself through free-run oscillation.
l CK1 (Clock 1 of CKII board): The clock is extracted from the
active CKII.
l CK0 (Clock 0 of CKII board): The clock is extracted from the
standby CKII.
Follow the principles below when choosing the clock source for
the TDM chip:
l Choose LB for all trunk boards in the main control frame.
l Choose CK1/CK0 for the boards connecting with 8 KHz clock
cables in the expansion service frames.
l Choose LB for all other trunk boards in the expansion service
frames.
CL2M 2M clock It specifies the number of the trunk link on which the clock signals
output are exported from the trunk board to the CKII. This parameter is
reference valid only when BT is set to EI.
source This parameter is optional and its value is of the enumeration type.
It is used to select an E1 port, through which the EPII sends the
clock signal to the CKII. The range P0-P7 stands for the E1 port
numbered 0-7 in the EPII. NONE means the port is not configured.
NOTE
The SEPU configures the clock signal output reference source through the
hardware DIP switch. Therefore, when the SEPU is selected, the parameter
is not needed. For the description of the DIP switch of the SEPU, see the
U-SYS SG7000 Hardware Description Manual.
EP0-EP15 Configura It is used to configure the frame format of the E1 port. Parameters
tion of EP0-EP7 are mandatory and EP8-EP15 are optional.
port 0-15 Parameters EP8-EP15 are valid only when BT is set to EU.
The value of the parameter is of enumeration type. It can be set to:
l DF (DOUBLE FRAME format)
l C4 (CRC4 format)
l SF (superframe format)
l ESF (extended superframe format)
l NONE (no configuration)
Make sure that the port frame format in the local office is the same
as that in the peer office.
To the EPII, EP0-EP7 are mandatory. To the SEPU, EP0-EP15 are
mandatory.
CM Balanced Configure the E1 balanced mode with this parameter when the EPII
mode is selected. The E1 balanced mode is determined by the DIP switch
S1 on the EPII. When all the eight switches of S1 are set to ON, it
means connecting with 75-ohm coaxial cable; when they are all set
to OFF, it means connecting with 120-ohm twisted pair. There are
two options.
l BM (balanced mode, connecting with 120-ohm E1 cable)
l UBM (unbalanced mode, connecting with 75-ohm E1 cable)
The parameter configuration is consistent with the DIP switch on
the EPII.
The E1 balanced mode of the SEPU is determined by the DIP
switch on the board. For the description of the DIP switch on the
SEPU, see the U-SYS SG7000 Hardware Description Manual.

----End
The local office data is mainly used to define certain basic information of the SG7000, which
acts as a signaling point (SP) in the SS7 network.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 3-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
3.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used during configuring the local office data.
Signaling Point
In the SS7, the SP includes the origination point code (OPC) and destination point code (DPC)
of the signaling messages. It can be a PSTN switching office, a data switching office, or an ISDN
switching office. It can also be service centers like the network management center, maintenance
center, and service control point (SCP). The OPC generates the signaling messages, while the
DPC receives the signaling messages.
l International network
l International reserved network
l National network
l National reserved network
A signaling point can locate in the four signaling networks and be coded separately.
The SPC can be in 24-bit or 14-bit form, according to the specifications of International
Telecommunications Union (ITU). The coding principles are as follows:
l Coding modes of the international and national reserved networks are decided by the
operators.
Multi-Signaling Points
In the SS7, a physical node can be logically divided into multiple signaling points. Each point
can communicate with other signaling points. The maximum number of signaling links between
two signaling points is 16. Through the mode of multiple signaling points, however, the links
between two signaling points can exceed 16. At the same time, the signaling load can be
balanced.
Function of SCCP
Signaling connection and control part (SCCP) of the SS7 provides additional function for the
MTP. The SCCP and third level of the MTP implements packet switch function of the virtual
circuits and datagram. Through the SS7 network, the circuit-related and non-circuit-related
signaling information and other information can be transferred among switching offices, or
between office and specialized centers (like SCP, network management center). In this case, the
SCCP can establish non-connection and connection-oriented services in the telecom network.
Logical Network
Logical network divides a physical STP into multiple logical STPs, which can serve several
operators at the same time.
The index number in ADD LN must be defined before the logical network index in ADD
OPC and the logical network index in SET OFI are referenced. See Figure 3-2 for the parameter
index between local office data commands.

RSF Restart It indicates whether the logical network uses the restart function.
function The parameter is set based on actual conditions of the logical
flag network. For example, the national network of China is
recommended to set the Restart function flag to False.
Signaling point restarting is a sub-function of MTP signaling
service management. Signaling point can be isolated from the
entire signaling network beyond a certain time. In this case, it
cannot decide whether the previous route data remains effective
after recovering. Services transmission recovery may generate
wrong route data. It may cause the missing of some user services.
Signaling point restarting aims to protect the restarted signaling
points and the entire network, so enough restarting time is needed
to activate signaling links and exchange route data. Then services
will be recovered.
The core of the signaling point restarting is exchanges of network
status information between the restarted signaling point and its
adjacency. To ensure validity of the data, the network status must
have no major change during information exchange. In this case,
an entire restarting time must be defined. The entire time can serve
the restarted signaling point and its adjacency. All activities
required for the restart must be implemented within the time limit.
RCT Route The flag indicates whether the logical network needs to use this
congestio function. To prevent problems led by protocols disagreement, it is
n test flag recommended not to adopt route set congestion test.
TFR Transmiss The flag indicates whether the logical network needs to use this
ion function. To prevent problems led by protocols disagreement,
restricted recommend to avoid setting this function.

This chapter describes how to configure the data when the SG interworks with the STP or local
switch (LS) over the MTP3. Before configuring the MTP3 data on the SG, make sure that the
hardware data and local office data are configured.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 4-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.

When the SS7 is used in the SG, only the configuration of the MTP3 protocol data (referred to as the MTP
data in this document) and SCCP data is required. See 6 Configuring SCCP Data for details.
The STP performs the signaling transfer. It is a signaling point that transfers a signaling message
from one signaling link to another, as shown in Figure 4-4.
Signaling Link
Signaling links include the signaling data link to connect two SPs (or STPs) and the transmission
tool with the transmission and control function. Each running signaling link is assigned with a
signaling data link and two signaling terminals at both ends of the signaling data link, as shown
in Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4.
Signaling Route
In the SS7, signaling route refers to the local direction for signaling transmission. That is, a
signaling message can be transmitted from the local signaling point (SP) to the designated DSP
through a specified link set. It is irrelevant to the subsequent channel of message transmission,
which is determined by the subsequent SP.
Here, A = 1, and the first four bits of the route selection field are also 1. So B = 2. The route
number is 2, and the reminder is obtained by 2%2. Thus, the route number obtained is 0.
The result value of the calculation of SLS and the mask is of a 4-bit binary number, and the value
range is determined by the mask. In principle, if the decimal value of the mask equals that getting
by taking 1 from the total link number of a certain link set, the signaling unit can directly use
this result value to select the link.
For example:
There are four links in a link set and the link selection code is 0011. Even if the SLS varies, the
calculation result of the SLS and the mask remains in the range of 0-3. And this result can be
directly or indirectly used to select the link.
Overlapping
When the route selection field and the link selection field are both used for selecting the link,
overlapping may occur. The signaling unit always selects the same link set number and signaling
link number.
For example:
Suppose there are two MTP link sets (numbered 0 and 1) in one office direction, each MTP link
set has two links (numbered 0 and 1), and the value of both the link set selection mask and the
link selection mask are 0010. The link set selection mask and the link selection mask share the
same algorithm; therefore, when the system originates calls, link 0 of link set 0 and link 1 of
link set 1 are always occupied; while link 1 of link set 0 and link 0 of link set 1 are idle all the
time.
To prevent overlapping of bits when the system selects the link and the link set, do not set the
"route selection field" and the "link selection field" with the same value. It is recommended to
set "1" in the two masks to different positions. For example, if the link set selection mask is
0110, you can set the link selection mask to 1001.
SHPE) of the SBPE through the H.110 bus (that is, TDM bus), to construct a physical path for
message transmission. This path is constructed through the commands, so it is called TDM semi-
permanent connection.
Figure 4-5 shows that the SEPU can construct semi-permanent connection with the SLPU/SHPU
through the internal HW in the same slot. The broken line in the figure indicates the signaling
message transmission path in the same slot.
NOTE
This section takes the configuration of the SBPU for an example. The configuration of the SBPE is the same as
that of the SBPU.
As shown in Figure 4-6, the SEPU can also establish the TDM semi-permanent connection with
the SLPU/SHPU/SBPE in other slots of the same frame through the H.110 bus.
The SEPU in slot 0 is connected to the SEPU in slot 3 through the H.110 bus, and the SEPU in
slot 3 is connected to the SLPU/SHPU/SBPE in slot 3 through the internal HW to construct a
signaling transmission path. The broken line in the figure indicates the signaling message
transmission path in different slots.

ATM
ATM is the short for asynchronous transfer mode. It takes cell as the unit for message
transmitting, multiplexing, and switching. The ATM cell has the fixed length of 53 bytes, in
which 5 bytes are the header, and the other 48 bytes are the payload. In this case, asynchronous
transfer means each cell is transmitted solely without interworking with other cells. The cell is
short, and thus the transmission has short delay.
VP/VC
The ATM is connection-oriented and the ATM header requires an identifier to indicate the
connection to which each cell belongs. Therefore, the concept of virtual connection is introduced.
Virtual connection means that a physical channel is divided into multiple logic channels. When
a connection is established, the corresponding logic channel is designated to connect two users,
and after the connection is removed, this logic channel can be assigned to other users. Virtual
connection can be established at two levels: virtual path (VP) level and virtual channel (VC)
level, which are identified by the virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI)
respectively in the header.
The VP is the collection of many VCs with the same VPI value. The VPs take different VPI
values, and the VCs in the same VP take different VCIs, but the VCs of different VPs can have
the same VCI. The relationship between the VP, VC, and physical path is as shown in Figure
4-7.
Figure 4-7 Relations between the VP, VC, and physical channel
AAL
The ATM adaptation layer (AAL) is the interface between the upper protocol and the ATM
layer, and it transfers the messages between them. Currently, there are four kinds of AAL: AAL1,
AAL2, AAL3/4, and AAL5. Each type of AAL supports a specific service in the ATM network.
Commonly, the ATM equipment providers adopt AAL5 to support the data communication
services.
The load sharing on partial SLS missing is a solution developed to solve such kind of problem,
that is, load sharing problem in the case of incomplete SLSs and link failure. The system finds
out an available link which contains the least valid SLSs and allocates an SLS contained in the
faulty link to this available link. Then, the system performs this operation again and allocates
another SLS till all SLSs contained in the faulty link are allocated to the available links. Thus,
the load is evenly shared among the links of a route.
For example: There are three links with the highest priority. The mask code of these links is
1111 (binary). When all SLSs (SLS0-SLS15) are received by the SG, the SLSs are shared among
all these three links, as shown in Table 4-1.
If only SLS0, SLS1, SLS2, SLS6, SLS7, and SLS8 are received by the SG and at the same time
link2 is faulty, as shown in Table 4-2, the system implements the load sharing by following the
steps below:
1. The system finds out an available link which contains the least valid SLSs. The number of
the valid SLSs in link0 is the same as that in link1, that is, 2. In this case, the system allocates
SLS2 contained in link2 to link0 based on the minimum matching rule of the signaling link
code (SLC).
2. The system performs step 1 and finds that the number of valid SLSs in link1 is 2, which is
smaller than that in link0, that is, 3. In this case, the system allocates SLS5 to link1.
3. The system performs step 1 and allocates SLS8 to link1.
4. The system performs step 1 and finds that the number of the valid SLSs in link0 is the same
as that in link1, that is, 3. In this case, the system allocates SLS11 contained in link2 to
link0 based on the minimum matching rule of the signaling link code (SLC).
5. The system performs step 1 and allocates SLS14 to link0.
NOTE
SLS11 is a invalid SLS, so the number of the valid SLSs in link0 is also the same as that in link1, that is,
3. In this case, the system still allocates SLS14 to link0 based on the SLC rule.
6. All SLSs contained in link2 are allocated to link0 and link1. Link0 and link1 separately
contain three valid SLSs, as shown in Table 4-3. Thus, the load sharing on partial SLS
missing is implemented.

In the above figure, SG_A, serving as the ISTP, uses different linksets to interwork with
Network1 (GSM network), Network2 (CDMA network), and the STP in the peer network.
(Assume linksets 1 and 2 are used for transmitting GSM messages and linksets 4 and 5 are used
for transmitting CDMA messages. Linksets 3 and 6 are C links between SG_A and SG_B.
Linkset 3 is used for transmitting GSM messages while linkset 6 is used for transmitting CDMA
messages.)
Take SG_A and GSM network as an example to describe the implementation of the binding-
based linkset load sharing function, which is similar for SG_B and CDMA network.
Between SG_A and another signaling point (for example, NE1), there are several available
linksets:
l GSM messages can be transmitted over linksets 1, 2, and 3. The priorities of linksets 1 and

and 5 are the same and the highest, and then the linkset 6.
After receiving a GSM message, SG_A forwards the message over linksets 1 and 2 in load
sharing mode. If linksets 1 and 2 are unavailable, SG_A forwards the message over linkset 3.
If linksets 1, 2, and 3 are unavailable simultaneously, SG_A forwards the message over linksets
4 and 5 in load sharing mode. If linksets 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are unavailable simultaneously,
SG_A forwards the message over linkset 6.
The data configuration of the binding-based linkset load sharing function must meet the
following requirements:
l Linksets 1 and 2 must bind with linkset 3 and all linksets in the GSM network, and linkset
3 must bind with all linksets in the GSM networks.
l Linksets 4 and 5 must bind with linkset 6 and all linksets in the CDMA network, and linkset
6 must bind with all linksets in the CDMA networks.

Figure 4-11 Relations between the timer, threshold, and MTP data tables
Figure 4-12 shows the parameter relation between the MTP initial shielding table and the MTP
link set table. The link set table references index from the MTP initial shielding table, thus the
system can control the MTP message shielding. See 5 Configuring MTP Shielding Data for
details.

As listed above, half of 16 messages will be sent in route 0, and the other half will be sent
in route 1, and the load can be shard evenly by each link of each route. This is a kind of
ideal setting.
l To prevent overlapping, you can set the least four bits of Route Selection Field and all bits
of Link Selection Field to 0, but do not set them to 1 at the same time.
Suppose there are two routes with the same priority to a DSP, that is, there are two link
sets, and each link set has 8 links. Suppose Route Selection Field is set to 12 ("00001100"
in binary) and Link Selection Field is set to 7 ("0111" in binary), then,

Eight messages will be sent to route 0, and the other half will be sent to route 1, but in route
0, only links 0-3 are occupied and in route 1, only links 4-7 are occupied. The load sharing
is not implemented because the load is not shared evenly by the 8 links of each link set.
This is not an ideal setting. Therefore, do not set the Route Selection Field to 12 because
the second bits of the Route Selection Field and the Link Selection Field are set to the
same value.
l Try to use the first four bits of the Route selection field, and thus all the link sets sent to
different non-adjacent signaling points can be selected to share all the SLSs.
Suppose there are two routes with the same priority to a DSP, that is, there are two link
sets, and each link set has 16 links, if Route Selection Field is set to 8 and Link Selection

Load sharing can be implemented. In route 0, however, only links 0-7 are occupied and in
route 1, only links 8-15 are occupied. The load is not evenly shared by each link of each
link set. Assign the first four bits of the route mask to share the load evenly.
Suppose there are two routes with the same priority to a DSP, that is, there are two link
sets, and each link set has 16 links. The two link sets are also used for the second DSP.
Then, configure as follows: The route mask of the first DSP is the shown in the above table.
The route mask of the second DSP is 24 (00011000). The routing of the second DSP is
shown in the following table:

With the above two tables, all the 32 links can be used for routing.
Start/End Index
The link set binding policy table must be configured (ADD N7LKSPL) to implement the load
sharing of signaling traffic when the SG is configured with multiple SPCs. When Type is set to
MTP, the index is used by incoming SS7 link sets; When Type is set to M3UA, the index is
used by incoming M3UA link sets.
For example:
As shown in Figure 4-13, the SG has three OPCs. Link set six is to be configured between the
SG and SP4. The problem is, how to implement the load sharing from SP1-SP3 and AS1-AS2
to SP4.
Note: [1, 4] indicates that the first link of the link set is 1, and the last link is 4.
If we can know the quantities of the signaling messages sent from SP1-SP3 and AS1-AS2 to
SP4 through the SG, the traffic to SP4 can be grouped based on the number of outgoing link
sets. That is, all incoming link sets to SP4 through the SG are grouped so that the messages
transmitted by all the link sets of each group to SP4 through the SG will be transferred by an
outgoing link set. In this way, the traffic to a certain office direction is evenly shared by each
link set. According to the traffic changes of various office directions in the network, this
calculation method can be modified by resetting the packet data to implement even load sharing.
As shown in Figure 4-13, the following data must be configured before adding link set six:
l Incoming link set binding data, in which Type is MTP, Start index is 1, End index is 3,
and Binding reference is 1.
l Outgoing link set binding data, in which Type is M3UA, Start index is 4, End index is
4, and Binding reference is 1.
When adding link set six, set Binding reference to 1. That means, all signaling messages sent
from SP1-SP3 and AS1 to SP4 through the SG are transmitted over link set 6. The signaling
traffic of the AS2 to SP4 can be configured when link set seven is added.
When configuring the alarm threshold (ADD N7ALMT), congestion threshold (ADD
N7CGT), and timer (ADD TIMER), use the default value. If necessary, the data configuration
should be implemented before configuring the MTP data. Generally, the enhanced route policy
is configured only when the load sharing function of multiple SPCs is to be implemented. Before
configuring the enhanced route policy, you must well plan and configure the start index and end
index.
The procedures of configuring the MTP data are as listed in Table 4-5. This chapter specifies
data configuration from step 4.

transfer to True, otherwise, it is set to False. If the DSP has the signaling transfer
point function, it must be set to STP, or the transferred signaling route cannot
be added.
APF Adjacent It indicates if the DSP is adjacent to the local office SP, that is, if there
flag is a direct signaling link between the DSP and the local office SP. If there
is a direct signaling link to the local office SP, it is set to True, otherwise,
it is set to False.
SLS Route It specifies ways to implement load sharing of the signaling traffic
selection between multiple signaling routes to the DSP. See section 4.1.1 Terms
field for details. The value of the route selection field is an 8-bit binary number
ranging 0-255. By default, it is set to null.
The configuration principles of the parameters are as follows:
l When there is only one link set between the SG and the DSP, set the
Route Selection Field to 0, which is the default value.
l When there are two or more MTP link sets, the decimal value of the
Route Selection Field should not be smaller than the number of total
link sets minus 1.
l Use the first four bits of the route selection field, and thus all the MTP
links in the same link set sent to different non-adjacent signaling points
can be selected to share the signaling load. See 4.1.5 Configuration
Principles for examples.
l To prevent overlapping, you cannot set the last four bits of the Route
selection field and the Route selection field in each link with the same
value. It is recommended to set 1 in the two fields at different positions.
For example, if the link set selection field is 0110 (first four bits are
0), you can set the link selection mask to 1001.

SBPU/SBPE are as follows:
l The time slot connections can be configured between any two
slots among slots 0 - 3 in the main service frame.
l The time slot connections can be configured between any two
slots among slots 0 - 3 in the slave service frame.
l The time slot connections can be configured between any two
slots among slots 12 - 15 in the slave service frame.
E1P Port It indicates the E1/T1 port. It determines which E1/T1 ports on the
number SEPU are selected to provide time slots for implementation of
semi-permanent connection. The value range is 0-15.
It is mandatory. Its value is of numeral type and ranges 0-16. It can
be set to different values based different hardware platforms:
l When the back board is the SEPU, its value range is 0-15.
l When the back board is the EPII, its value range is 0-7.
TS Start time This parameter selects the start time slot on E1/T1 port. It is used
slot together with Count of occupied time slot to select the time slot
for semi-permanent connection. One E1 has 32 time slots with the
value range 0-31, in which time slot 0 is used to transmit
synchronization information. One T1 has 24 time slots with the
value range 0-23.
TSN Count of On E1/T1 port, the numbers of the time slots used by the semi-
occupied permanent connection are as follows: for E1, the value range is
time slot 1-31; for T1, the value range is 1-24.
The 64-kbit/s normal link and the 64-kbit/s satellite link take only
one time slot.
When connecting 2-Mbit/s link, the time slots occupied must be
between 1 and 31 (E1 uses time slots 1-31).
When connecting 1.5-Mbit/s link, the time slot occupied must be
between 1 and 24 (T1 uses the time slots 0-23).
NTN Net time This parameter is required when the time slot resource is used, for
slot example, by semi-permanent connection of the SEPU in different
number slots of the same frame in the same shelf. If the semi-permanent
connection in the same slots of the same frame in the same shelf
does not use the net time slot resource, the net time slot resource
is not configured.
Before entering the net time slot number, use LST
FREENETTS to query the utilization of the net time slot resource.
Enter free time slot number only. The value range of the net time
slot resource is 0-255. The value 65535 indicates that the net time
slot resource is not required. By default, it is set to 65535.

M2PA link. The value range is 0-7.
The configuration complies with the following principles:
l When only 64-kbit/s links are configured on the SLPU_64K
board, the port numbers can be set to 0-15.
l When only 64-kbit/s links are configured on the SHPU_64K
board, the port numbers can be set to 0-31.
l When only the HSL link is configured on the SLPU_2M board,
only one link is allowed and the port number is always set to 0.
l When only the ATM 2-Mbit/s link is configured on the
SHPU_2M board, only one link is allowed and the port number
is always set to 0. Other links are not allowed on this board.
l When two HSL links are configured on the SHPU_2M board,
the port numbers are always set to 0 and 1.
l When one HSL link and 64-kbit/s links are configured on the
SHPU_2M board, port 0 is configured with the HSL link, ports
1-15 are idle, and ports 16-31 are configured with 64-kbit/s
links.
l The SHPE can only be configured with HSLs. A maximum of
four HSLs can be configured on ports 0, 1, 2, 3 of the SHPE.
LSX Link set The index number of the signaling link in the link set. It
index corresponds to the index of the link set.
LST Link set It specifies the name of the MTP link set to which this MTP link
title belongs.
It is optional. Its value is of the character type and can contain up
to 40 English characters.
SLC Signaling Set the code of a signaling link at an SP to be same as that at the
link code peer SP.
PR Intra-set It indicates the priority of the signaling link in the link set. The
priority available signaling links with higher priorities in the link set are
used first for carrying signaling traffic. The links with lower
priorities are used only after all signaling links with higher
priorities are unavailable. Therefore, it is the same as the priority
field in the MTP route table. The higher the priority is, the lower
the value will be. The value 255 is invalid.
CT Link type It indicates the type of a link. It must be set based on actual
conditions.
If any option is selected, the system will pop up the description
parameters related to this link type.
If the link type is M2PALNK, see 13 Configuring M2PA Data
for details.
If the link type is M264K or M22M, see 14 Configuring M2UA
Data for details.
The parameter items and setting methods of SAT64 kbit/s, NOR64
kbit/s, and HSL are the same. See Table 4-10 for details.
For the satellite links, the delay is rather long. In this case, the
preventive cyclic retransmission/error control method is adopted
in the MTP layer 2. It must be used to transmit signaling correctly
and fast. Therefore, set the data for the MTP.
When the link type is ATM, see Table 4-11 for parameter
description. For other parameter settings, see Table 4-10.
Timer index It indicates the index number of the timer value used by the local link. The
timer parameter value corresponding to this index is listed in the timer table.
The value of this parameter must be valid; otherwise, the related MTP
management processes cannot be carried out successfully.
Semi- It is the number of the semi-permanent connection mapping the link. The
permanent value is the returned index after the execution of the command ADD
connection TDMCONN. Before configuring the MTP link, you should configure the
number semi-permanent connection corresponding to the MTP link.
Bit reverse By default, it is set to No. When set to Yes, the high level and the low level
on the signaling link will be reversed.
Virtual path This parameter defines the virtual path for data transmission. Value
identifier range is 0¨C3 and by default it is set to 0.
Virtual channel One virtual path contains multiple virtual channels which are used for
identifier data transmission. VCI defines the virtual channel in which the data is
transmitted. The identifier for each channel must be unique. The value
range of the channels is 0¨C255. By default, it is set to 1.
Parameter ATM 2M
Flow type The flow type and the volume must be described at the source and
destination ends of each virtual connection. This parameter defines the
level of the data flow. By default, it is set to CBR.
AAL type AAL, used to transmit and receive data in the ATM, may be of different
kinds. This parameter defines the AAL type of the ATM 2-Mbit/s link.
By default, it is set to AAL5.

NOTE
To modify an important parameter, you must first disconnect the link to be modified and then modify this
parameter. After the modification, connect the disconnected link. You can directly modify parameters that
are less important.
Networking Structure
As shown in Figure 4-14, the DSP is adjacent to the local SP and has no SCCP function, so the
signaling is uncharged.
Only one link set is required between the two offices, set Route selection field to 0. The link
set includes one 64-kbit/s normal link and one 2-Mbit/s HSL link, set Link selection field to
2.
Data Collection
The hardware description here specifies only the service boards and interface boards related to
the data in this example.
l Configure back slot 0 and back slot 1 with one SEPU each. Through the TDM semi-
permanent connection between different slots, all the links on the SEPUs are processed by
the SHPU.
l Configure the front slot 0 and front slot 1 with one SEPU each. The SBPU in slot 0 is
configured with a lower pinch card SHPU_2M. In this example, one 64-kbit/s normal link
and one 2-Mbit/s HSL link are configured on the same SHPU_2M card.
Retain the default values of the timer, alarm threshold and congestion threshold.
The records with the logic network index 0 are consistent with the DSP conditions, so the logic
network index uses the default value 0.

----End
This chapter describes how to configure the MTP shielding data. Before configuring the MTP
shielding data, make sure that the hardware data, local office data, and MTP data are configured.
Configure the data when it is required. If you do not require the MTP shielding function, you
can proceed to the next chapter.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 5-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
5.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used during configuring the MTP shielding data.
MTP shielding is a function of the MTP, which is used to discard the specific messages that
must not be transmitted. The specific message indicates that the message contents and related
information have some prescriptive features. Such information includes the following:
l Link set of the received message
l Link set of the message to be sent
l OPC in the message
l DPC in the message
l SIO in the message
l H0H1 in the message
l Information of related signaling point in the message
One or more items of these features can be combined together to control the object which has
multiple features.
In the SG7000, the MTP shielding is implemented by searching and matching the specified
message. The searching process compares the designated message with a serial of shielding
conditions (shielding links). If the conditions match, the operation specified in this table item is
executed; otherwise, the default operation is executed.
l Part a in Figure 5-3 shows that the parameter Shielding reference of the N7DTFM table
and N7DSIO table can be indexed only by the shielding table above them, but cannot be
indexed by the shielding table under them.
l Part b in Figure 5-3 shows that the parameter Shielding reference of the N7ED table and
N7EO table can be indexed only by the shielding table above them, but cannot be indexed
by the shielding table under them.
l Part c in Figure 5-3 shows that the parameter Shielding reference of the N7DD table,
N7DO table and N7LSM table can be indexed only by the shielding table above them, but
cannot be indexed by the shielding table under them.
The eight shielding tables from top to bottom in the figure comprise different shielding chains.
For example:
l Initial shielding table (N7IM) → link set shielding table (N7LSM) → prohibited OPC table
(N7DO) → prohibited SIO table (N7DSIO) comprise a shielding chain.
l Initial shielding table (N7IM) → link set shielding table (N7LSM) → prohibited OPC table
(N7DO) → prohibited DPC table (N7DD) → prohibited TFM table (N7DTFM) comprise
a shielding chain.
It is recommended to add a shielding chain from bottom to top, that is, add the shielding table
(as shown in Figure 5-3) at the bottom first, and then add the shielding table above it. When
deleting a shielding chain, delete the shielding table at the top of the shielding chain, and then
delete the shielding table below it, because the referenced shielding table cannot be deleted.

Configure the MTP shielding data from step 1 to step 8 in order, as shown in Table 5-2. The
last step is mandatory. The last step in each table is mandatory. Each table except for the last
refers to a shielding condition and thus they are optional. During configuration, configure one
or more required shielding tables according to the sequences as listed in Table 5-2.
Step Operation
NOTE
After configuring the MTP shielding data, you complete the setting of shielding conditions only. You must
reference the index in the initial shielding table of the command ADD N7IM to Outgoing shielding table
index or Incoming shielding table index of the command ADD N7LKS to implement the MTP shielding

This chapter describes how to configure the SCCP data. The SCCP data is used to set the
information relevant to the SCCP message route addressing when the SG7000 interconnects
with the STP or LS. The information includes the SCCP destination signaling point, SCCP
subsystem, global title, and GT work mode. Before configuring the SCCP data, ensure that the
hardware data, local office data, and MTP data are configured.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 6-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
6.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used during configuring the SCCP data.
SCCP
The SS7 meets the requirements for communicating and transmitting the information relevant
to the connection, according to the proposal issued in 1980. Therefore, only the requirements of
four function levels are put forward. With the development of the ISDN and intelligent network,
however, it is necessary to transmit the information relevant to the circuit connection and some
other information. For example, the end-to-end information is used in maintenance management
for ISDN users. Thus, the original MTP function cannot meet the demands. Under this condition,
the SCCP is added in the revision made in 1984, to enhance the MTP function without modifying
the MTP, so that the requirements for transmitting end-to-end information oriented to the
connection or non-connection can be met. In this case, the SS7 must meet the requirements of
the four function levels and thus MTP, and SCCP are together called the network service part
(NSP).
The subsystem number (SSN) is used to identify different SCCP users of the same node, such
as the ISDN user part (ISUP), mobile application part (MAP), and transaction capability
application part (TCAP). The requirements for new services can be met by adding more users
and the expanding the addressing scope.
On receiving an SCCP message, a destination SCCP point cannot send the message to a user
until it gets the SSN of the message. Therefore, if the SCCP message includes no SSN, the SCCP
must refer the GT translation table to get the SSN according to the GT (see below for its
definition) in the message.
GT
The global title (GT) codes, for example international telephone number, national telephone
number, and ISDN number, do not indicate the route information in its signaling network, so
the route information can be obtained only through GT translation.
DPC is significant only in the national or international SS7 network where it is defined, but not
globally significant. The GT has global significance and its address scope is much larger than
that of DPC. It facilitates the transmission of messages irrelevant to circuit between any two
signaling points in the world. The powerful addressing ability of GT is an important characteristic
of SCCP.
There are four formats for using GTs. At present, GT4 is commonly used. Table 6-1 illustrates
the structure of GT4.
8-5 4-1
The first byte indicates the format of the GT. This type is called the GT indicator. The valid
values of the GT indicator are 1, 2, 3, and 4. Other values are invalid.
l If the GT indicator is 1, the global title consists of the Nature of address indicator and
Global title address information. It is type-1 GT.
l If the GT indicator is 2, the global title consists of the Translation type and Global title
address information. It is type-2 GT.
l If the GT indicator is 3, the global title consists of the Translation type, Numbering
plan, Encoding scheme, and Global title address information. It is type-3 GT.
l If the GT indicator is 4, the global title consists of the Translation type, Numbering
plan, Encoding scheme, Nature of address indicator, and Global title address
information. It is type-4 GT.
The second byte indicates the translation type.
Bit8-Bit5 of the third byte indicate the numbering plan. That is, the way in which the address
information is numbered.
Bit4-Bit1 of the third byte indicate the encoding scheme. They indicate whether the address
information length is odd or even. 1 stands for an odd number and 2 stands for an even number.
The fourth byte indicates the address information indicator, that is, the attribute of address
information.
The fifth byte and the subsequent ones indicate the address information, that is, the telephone
number. Write 1111 for the higher four bits of the last byte at the end of the address information,
if the address information length is odd.
Example:
GT: 04006101214365F7
It means that the GT indicator is 4 and translation type is 0 (only 0 is allowed at present). The
code plan is the land move code plan (code 6). The encoding scheme is 0001 (that is, 1) because
the address information length is odd. The nature of address indicator is the subscriber number
(code 1). The global title address information is 1234567.
The address type indicator in the SCCP global title address information indicates the SCCP
addressing mode. The two SCCP addressing modes are as follows:
l Addressing by DPC: The message is sent to the SCCP user message destination and requires
no transfer through the SCCP.
l Addressing by GT: The message is sent to the SCCP transfer point, but not to the user
message destination directly.
The SCCP connectionless service is used in the intelligent network application protocol (INAP),
CAP, and MAP. The SCCP routing principle under non-connection condition; therefore is
described in this manual.
The routing principles for connectionless SCCP messages sent by the local SCCP users are as
follows:
l If the SCCP address includes the DPC, and the DPC is not a local node, the MTP sends the
signaling message to the destination signaling point according to the type of DPC. If the
DPC is the local node, the message is returned to the local SSN.
l If the SCCP address does not include the DPC, the system refers the GT translation table
to get the DPC, and then takes measures as mentioned above.
l The routing principles for connectionless SCCP messages received by the MTP are as
follows:
– If the routing indicator is 1 (addressing by DPC), it means that the local node is the
destination of the message. The signaling message is sent to the local node SSN in this
case.
– If the routing indicator is 0 (addressing by GT), the system refers the GT translation
table to get the DPC. If the DPC is a local node, the message is sent to the local SSN;
if the DPC is not a local node, the system flags an SIF route notation to the signaling
message and the MTP sends it to the destination signaling point according to the type
of DPC.
When the SCCP requests the MTP to send messages, the SCCP users must provide the DPC of
the next network node. If not, the SCCP must translate the callee's GT into the information with
the DPC, and then transfers it to the MTP.
The GT translation result indicator indicates the format of the translation result after a GT is
translated by the local SCCP. There are four types of GT formats:
l DPC + SSN: Indicating that the translation result is of "DPC + SSN" form.
l DPC + GT: Indicating that the translation result is of "DPC + GT" form.
l DPC + new GT index: Indicating that the translation result is of "DPC + new GT index"
form.
l DPC: Indicating that the translation result is of "DPC" form.
SCCP multipoint load sharing means that a maximum of sixteen points (including active and
standby points) share the load in GT addressing mode, according to different policies. Load
sharing can be achieved according to the message SLS, incoming link index, message OPC,
message caller number, and TID message.
Address Information
The address information can also be expressed by characters A - E, where, A, B, C, and D indicate
the actual values. The value of E is defined by the Wildcard function in GTT parameter in the
SET SOFTCFG2 command. When Wildcard function in GTT is set to close, E is an ordinary
character; when Wildcard function in GTT is set to open, E is a wildcard and can be used only
in the last second, third, or fourth bit. For example, when address Information is set to
86755289EAEEC, it indicates all numbers with the prefix "86755289E" and trailer "C".
As shown in Figure 6-2, the SG7000 connects the STP or LS through the SCCP. When PSTN
users are the ISDN users, the equipment can be connected through the SCCP.
For the referencing relationship between parameters of the SCCP data tables, see Figure 6-3.
The figure shows the GT added with ADD SCCPGT. Under this condition, if the SCCP's work
mode is configured to the single point, reference the DPC index, SSN code, and New GT
index. If the SCCP's work mode is configured to the multipoint work mode, reference the Index
of SCCP addressing policy and New GT index.

l "DPC + GT"
This translation type is used when an SCCP message transfer point is required between the
local point and the SCCP message destination point. Figure 6-4 shows the networking
structure.
+GT" when setting the GT translation table on the SG A. The DPC is the signaling point
code of the SG B.
Thus, the SCCP message contains the original GT when it is sent to the SG B. After it is
configured with the SCCP translation data, the SG B transfers the SCCP message from
SG A to SP B.
l "DPC + new GT"
This translation type is used when an SCCP message transfer point is required between a
local signaling point and a destination signaling point, and the GT requires translation.
In structure 1, as shown in Figure 6-4, if the GT of a user of the SP B is changed (for
example, GT type is changed) for SG B, set the changed GT in the message at SG A. In
this way, the message can be translated correctly at the SG B and transferred to the user of
the SP B. In such a condition, the translation type of "DPC + new GT" must be used in the
GT translation table of the SG A and the new GT must be replaced with that required by
the SG B.
l "DPC + SSN"
This translation type is used when no SCCP message transfer is required between the local
point and SCCP message destination, but the SCCP message does not include the SSN.
Figure 6-5 shows the structure.
In structure 2, assume that the SG A knows the DPC of the SP A and the MTP route reaching
the SP A exists, but the SCCP message sent by the SP A does not include the SSN
information. Under this condition, the GT translation type of the SP A can be set as "DPC
+ SSN" on the SG A. After receiving the DPC of the SP A, the SG A sends the message to
the MTP, which transfers it to the SP A. Then the SP A sends the message to the appropriate
SCCP user according to the SSN.
l "DPC"
This translation type is used when no SCCP message transfer is required between the local
point and the SCCP message destination, and the SCCP message includes the SSN. The
structure is shown in Figure 6-5.
In structure 2, assume that the SG A identifies the DPC of the SP A and the MTP route
reaching the SP A exists, but the SCCP message includes the SSN information. The GT
translation type of the SP A can be set to "DPC" on the SG A. Thus the message can be
sent to the SP A through the MTP. The SCCP of the SP A sends the message to the
appropriate SCCP user according to the SSN.
GT Compression
The SG7000 utilizes the "front" matching method for the translation of GT, which greatly
increases the quantity of global titles actually processed and simplifies the process of adding the
GT translation table.
To configure a group of GTs in the SG7000 at a time, you can compress a group of relevant GTs
according to some rules. By this way, you need only to configure a GT record to the GT
translation table, but not to add each GT to the GT translation table.
The SCCP can support a maximum of 16 load sharing signaling points. Load-share select
mask is an important parameter used in addressing to share the load evenly among multiple
signaling points that support the SCCP.
Different parameters can be used together with Load-share select mask in addressing
calculation based on the different load sharing types.
l If the type of load sharing is "message SLS load sharing", you can obtain the destination
load sharing signaling point by calculating Load-share select mask and the SLS in the
signaling message.
l If the type of load sharing is "incoming link index load sharing", you can obtain the
destination load sharing signaling point by calculating Load-share select mask and the
incoming link index in the signaling message.
l If the type of load sharing is "caller load sharing", you can obtain the destination load
sharing signaling point by calculating Load-share select mask and the caller GT in the
signaling message. The use of the caller GT is determined by the configuration made
through the command ADD SCCPCGGTSEG.
l If the type of load sharing is "OPC load sharing", you can obtain the destination load sharing
signaling point by calculating Load-share select mask and the OPC in the signaling
message. The use of the OPC is determined by the command ADD SCCPOPCRANGE.
l When TID (TID load-share of message) is selected for the load sharing mode, the TID
contained in the signaling message is used together with the number of reachable load-
sharing signaling points to calculate the destination load-sharing signaling points.
A is the load sharing select mask, B is the parameter used based on different load sharing types,
and D is the reachable load sharing signaling point.
1. AND is the binary value of A and B. Delete 0 (related to the mask) from the result, thus
getting the result C.
2. If D is the number of reachable load sharing signaling points, divide the decimal value of
the result C by D and get the remainder. If the value of C is lesser than D, the last result is
C.
3. The value last obtained is the index of the DSP in the SCCP addressing policy table.
Example:
If the load sharing select mask is 5 (0101), and B is 12 (1100), the load sharing signaling point
is 4.
1. As shown in Figure 6-6, calculate AND for 0101 and 1100 to obtain 0100. Delete 0 from
the result and arrange 1 from the last bit to first bit, thus getting a binary value 10.
1100
AND algorithm 0101
Obtain the bits 0100
corresponding to "1"
in the mask code 0101
Arrange from 1 0
the last bit
0010
2. The decimal value of the result 0010 obtained is 2, that is, 2%4 = 2.
Therefore, the reachable signaling point, which has an index of 3, is the DSP obtained by
calculating the signaling message in the load sharing algorithm.
The load sharing addressing algorithm for "TID load-share of message" is as follows:
l For 4-byte TID:
1. Obtain the most significant bit of every byte of the TID and sum up the bits to get A.
Perform modulo operation on A and the number of reachable load-sharing signaling
points B to get C.
2. C is the index of the destination signaling point in the SCCP addressing policy table.
l For 8-byte TID:
1. Obtain the most significant bit of every byte of the TID and sum up the bits to get A.
Perform modulo operation on A and the number of reachable load-sharing signaling
points, and then calculate the switchover between 4 bits and 8 bits through dummy
messages to get C.
2. C is the index of the destination signaling point in the SCCP addressing policy table.
Example: Assume that the TID is 12345678 and the number of reachable load-sharing signaling
points is 16.
1. Obtain the most significant bit of every byte of the TID and sum up the bits: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
+ 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 36. Then, perform modulo operation on A and the number of reachable
load-sharing signaling points: 36%16=4.
2. Through the load-sharing algorithm, the calculated destination signaling point is the
reachable signaling point with index 4.
The SCCP supports the single point mode and multipoint load sharing mode. The multipoint
load sharing mode is divided into four types of work modes according to the differences of load
sharing select modes. Table 6-3, Table 6-4, Table 6-5, and Table 6-6 describe the steps for
configuring the SCCP data in different work modes. Refer to 3 Configuring Local Office
Data for the configuration of local information table, and refer to 4 Configuring MTP Data
for the configuration of destination signaling point table. This chapter describes the configuration
from step 3.
NOTE
During the configuration of SCCP data, if you configure the local office information with the command
SET OFI or ADD OPC, you must set SCCP FUNCTION to TRUE.
Based on the situations of the SCCP data configuration, the following configuration steps are
optional:
l The step "adding the SCCP subsystem" (ADD SCCPSSN) is optional. If GT translation
result type in the step "adding the global GT" is set to DPC or DPC+SSN, the step "adding
the SCCP subsystem" must be performed; otherwise, it is unnecessary.
l The step "adding the new GT" (ADD SCCPNGT) is optional. If GT translation result
type in the step "adding the global GT" is set to DPC+NEWGT, the step "adding the new
GT" must be performed; otherwise, it is unnecessary.

Assumption
In Figure 6-7, if SP A requires to send messages to SP C, the SP A must know the DPC of the
SP C. Here, the SP A knows the DPC of the SP B, and the SP B knows the DPC of the SP C.
Since SP A does not know the DPC of SP C, it has to address the SCCP users of SP C through
GT. It translates GT and then the signaling initiated from the SP A is forwarded by SP B.
Therefore, the GT translation type of the SP C must be set to "DPC + GT" at SP A. The DPC is
the signaling point code of the SP B.
When the SP B knows the DPC of the SP C and has an MTP route reaching it, the SP B can send
messages to the SP C directly without the SCCP transfer and set the GT translation type to "DPC
+ SSN". The DPC is the signaling point code of the SP C.
The following examples are about the single point work mode of the SCCP. The description
starts from the configuration of local data related to the SCCP. The configuration of the hardware
data and MTP data is not described here.
Procedure
Step 1 Configure SP A.
1. To add a local signaling point, set SCCP function to True, and run the following command:
SET OFI: SN1=NM, SN2=NS, SN3=IM, SN4=IS, NPC="A1111A", SCCP=TRUE;
2. To add destination signaling point SP B, set SCCP function to NOBAK, SHARE,
MST, EVENSH or ODDSH, STP to True, keep the default values for other parameters,
and run the following command:
ADD N7DSP: NPC="B1111B";
Step 2 Configure SP B.
1. To add local signaling point, set SCCP function to True, and run the following command:
SET OFI: SN1=NM, SN2=NS, SN3=IM, SN4=IS, NPC="B1111B", SCCP=TRUE;
2. To add destination signaling point SP C, set SCCP function to NOBAK, SHARE,
MST, EVENSH or ODDSH, STP to False, keep the default values for other parameters,
and run the following command:
ADD N7DSP: NPC="C1111C", STP=FALSE;
----End
Assumption
In Figure 6-8, SP A-SP B indicate the original signaling points generating the SCCP message,
that is, the signaling points where the callers are located. SP 0-SP 2 indicates the load sharing
signaling points. In the following examples, the MTP connection is created between the local
office signaling point and SP 0-SP 2.
The example introduces only the load sharing mode of the SCCP message configured on SG to
signaling points SP 0-SP 2. The configurations on SP A-SP D and SP 0-SP 2 are not included.

This chapter describes how to configure the SCCP shielding data. Before configuring the SCCP
shielding data, you must have completed configuring the hardware data, local office data, MTP
data, and SCCP data.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 7-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
7.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used during configuring the SCCP shielding data.
The SCCP shielding function is used to discard a message that has the following features:
l DPC + SSN.
l GT code.
l GT translation type.
These features can be combined to form a feature set to control objects that have multiple
features.
Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4 indicate the parameter referencing relationship between the SCCP
shielding data tables in this chapter. Parameter reference of every table in the figures can be
referenced only by any shielding table above it.
Add a shielding chain in Figure 7-3 or Figure 7-4 from bottom to top. In other words, add the
shielding table at the bottom first, and then add the shielding table above it. When deleting a
shielding chain, delete the shielding table at the top of the shielding chain, and then delete the
shielding table below it, because the referenced shielding table cannot be deleted.

The chapter describes how to configure the SCTP data. The SCTP data is required when the
SG7000 connects with the softswitch device through the SCTP, which is used as the transport
layer. Configure the SCTP data after configuring the hardware data and local office data, but
before configuring the M2PA data, M3UA data, M2UA data, and IUA data.
It is recommended to use the default SCTP data in the system.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 8-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
8.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used during configuring the SCTP data.
SCTP
Before SCTP was used, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP) were used to transport the PSTN signaling over the IP network. The UDP and TCP
however, could not meet the needs on transmission quality, and therefore, they were replaced
by the SCTP. The SCTP is connection-oriented and is based on packet. It enables higher
reliability for signaling transmission. The SCTP can control congestion, prevent flood and spoof
attack, and support the real-time use and multi-homing.
The SCTP is the transport layer protocol. The upper layer is the SCTP user application layer and
the lower layer is the packet network layer. For SIGTRAN, the upper layer user of the SCTP is
the adaptation module of the SCN signaling (like M2UA, M3UA, IUA, and M2PA), while the
lower layer is the IP network.
NOTE
SCTP Association
An association is a logical connection or path for data transmission between two SCTP endpoints.
It is created by the four-step handshaking mechanism by the SCTP. It is defined in the SCTP
that only one association can be created between two endpoints anytime. An association is
defined by the transmission addresses of the two endpoints. Therefore, you can uniquely denote
an SCTP association by configuring the four parameters: local IP address, local SCTP port
number, peer IP address, and peer SCTP port number. In the SG7000, an association can be
regarded as an M2UA link, M3UA link, or IUA link.
Stream
A stream indicates a sequence of messages to be sent in an order to the upper layer protocols.
Messages in the same stream must be sent according to their sequence. A stream is a logical path
from one endpoint to another in an SCTP association. An association consists of multiple one-
way streams. Streams are independent and identified by stream IDs. Each stream can send data
without being affected by other streams.
Messages that belong to the same sequence must be sent in the same stream.
NOTE
An association can contain multiple streams. The number of available streams is negotiated by the two
endpoints when an association is created. One stream can belong to one association only. At the same time,
amount of outgoing and incoming streams can be different.
SCTP Multi-Homing
Both the endpoints of an SCTP association can be configured with multiple IP addresses, and
thus there are multiple paths between them. That is SCTP multi-homed, which is distinguishes
the SCTP from the TCP.
Heartbeat
When a path is idle, the local SCTP user requires SCTP to generate heartbeat messages and send
them to the peer endpoint through the path. Then the peer endpoint must respond with messages
for confirming the receipt of the heartbeat messages. The mechanism is used to measure the
Round Trip Time (RTT), monitor the associations and keep them active.
Step Operation
NOTE
l If there is no special requirement, adopt the system default value instead of setting the SCTP initialized
parameters. Be careful when setting the parameters because it may affect normal running of the system.
l After running the command, you must reset all boards to re-load data to validate the settings.

This chapter describes how to configure the SUA data. The SUA data is used for the interworking
between this system and other equipment through the SUA protocol. Before configuring the
SUA data, ensure that the hardware data, local office data, and SCTP data is already configured.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 9-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
9.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used when you configure the SUA data.
SCTP
IP
MAC
NOTE
The SG7000, at present, only supports 5 adaptation protocols, such as SUA, M2UA, M3UA, IUA, and
M2PA.
SUA Protocol
The SUA protocol is defined by the RFC3868 specifications and is the SCCP User Adaptation
protocol. Throuth the SUA protocol, the signaling messages of the upper-layer protocol (such
as TCAP/MAP) of the original SCCP can be transmitted over the IP network in seamless mode,
regardless of the lower protocol.
Through the SUA protocol, the SCCP protocol and its upper-layer protocol can run
independently on different network elements. For example, the SCCP protocol runs on the SG
and its upper-layer protocol (such as TCAP/MAP) runs on the MGC, which enables the MGC
to better implement its control function in the core network.
Figure 9-3 shows the SUA protocol stack.
NOTE
Q.931 and Q.921 are standard protocols of the ITU-T organization and they are applied in the data link
layer and network layer. For details, refer to the relevant protocols.
l IPSP-IPSP application mode: In the entire IP network, the SUA protocol implements the
seamless transmission of the upper-layer protocol messages of the original SCCP. This
enables the upper-layer protocol of the original SCCP to be smoothly applied in the IP
network without being changed. Figure 9-5 shows IPSP-IPSP application mode.
SCN
It is the switch signaling network.
Routing Key
A routing key describes a set of SS7 parameters and parameter values, such as DPC, SIO + DPC,
SIO + DPC + OPC, SIO + DPC + OPC + CIC, and SIO + DPC + OPC + SSN. It defines the
range of signaling traffic to be handled by a particular application server.
Routing Context
It is an identification index value that identifies a routing key. It corresponds to the routing key.
SUA link
An SUA link is a link that connects two SCTP endpoints through the SUA protocol.
NOTE
The SUA protocol is applied in two networking modes: SG-ASP application mode and IPSP application
mode. The two modes are similar except for the belonging-to application network. This document takes
SG-ASP application mode for an example.
l For example, add a DSP and all its related information (the SUA AS, SUA link set, and
SUA link).
Correct steps: Add the DSP -> Add the SUA AS -> Add the SUA link set -> Add the SUA
link.
l For another example, remove a DSP and all its related information (the SUA AS, SUA link
set, and SUA link).
Correct steps: Remove the SUA link -> Remove SUA link set -> Remove the the SUA AS
-> Remove the DSP.
NOTE
l Note: Data of any table can be removed only when the data is in unavailable state.
l Before removing a configuration table, make sure that this table is not referenced by other tables.
l If the broadband links configured on the same SBPU/SBPE cannot reference the same local
IP address combination index, you must ensure that no identical IP address index exists in
different IP address combinations.
l The broadband links on the same board are configured based on the following conditions:
– If the local network ports are different, the local IP address combination index can be
chosen freely; however, you must avoid the situation of inter-frame message transfer.
– If the local network ports are the same, you are recommended to choose the same local
IP address combination index. If the local IP address combinations are different, you
must judge whether the identical local IP address exists in different local IP address
combination. If yes, the broadband link cannot be added.
NOTE
The destination signaling point table and local office information table are used by all protocol data.
The local IP address must be configured when you configure the hardware data, that is, before
you add the SBPIs. See 2.2.3 Adding Local IP Address for the method of adding the local IP
address.
The local IP address combination table contains up to 16 local IP address indexes. Different IP
address sequences represent different IP address combinations. The sequence of the IP address
indexes from 1 to 16 indicates different priorities (from higher to lower). If the FE interface
corresponding to an IP address with higher priority becomes faulty, the FE interface
corresponding to the IP address priority with lower priority will replace the faulty one and ensures
the reliability of the broadband link.
FE indexes 1-16 are the indexes of the local IP addresses that are already defined in the local IP
address table. The index of a local IP address can be queried through LST RIP.

This chapter describes how to configure the SUA shielding data. Before configuring the SUA
shielding data, you must ensure that the hardware data, local office data, and SCTP data is already
configured.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 10-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
10.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used when you configure the SUA shielding data.
The SUA shielding function is used to shield the received messages that have some special
features. The features can be classified into the following types:
l Message class and message type of the SUA messages
l DPC+SSN
l GT code
l GT translation type
One or more of the preceding items can be combined to form a shielding condition to filter the
specific messages.
The reference relations between the SUA message type screen table and other tables are not
specified here. As shown in Figure 10-4, the parameter Shielding reference in a table can be
referenced only by the shielding tables above.
It is recommended to add a shielding chain from bottom to top, that is, add the shielding table
(as shown in Figure 10-3 or Figure 10-4) at the bottom first, and then add the shielding table
above it. When deleting a shielding chain, delete the shielding table at the top of the shielding
chain, and then delete the shielding table below it, because the referenced shielding table cannot
be deleted.

The M3UA data is required when the SG7000 connects to a softswitch device over the M3UA
protocol. Before configuring the M3UA data, make sure that the hardware data, local data, and
SCTP data are configured.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 11-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
11.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used during configuring the M3UA data.
SCTP
IP
MAC
NOTE
The SG7000, at present, only supports 5 adaptation protocols, such as SUA, M2UA, M3UA, IUA, and
M2PA.
M3UA Protocol
The M3UA, which is defined by RFC3332, is the No.7 MTP3-user adaptation protocol. It uses
the stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) to transmit user signaling messages such as
ISUP, TUP, and SCCP of the No.7 MTP3 layer through the IP to achieve the seamless operation
of the MTP3 peer users in the SS7 and IP field. In the SG, the M3UA is used to transmit signaling
between the SG and media gateway controller (MGC).
SCN
It is the switch signaling network.
Routing Key
A routing key describes a set of SS7 parameters and parameter values, such as DPC, SIO + DPC,
SIO + DPC + OPC, SIO + DPC + OPC + CIC, and SIO + DPC + OPC + SSN. It defines the
range of signaling traffic to be handled by a particular application server.
Routing Context
It is an identification index value that identifies a routing key. It corresponds to the routing key.
M3UA Route
It refers to the path to a specific M3UA entity.
M3UA Association
It is a logical connection between two SCTP endpoints and it bears the M3UA.
In Figure 11-3, the SG7000 connects with a softswitch, for example, the Softx3000 of Huawei
Technologies Co. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Huawei), over the M3UA protocol during the
configuration of the M3UA data. With the M3UA protocol, the SG7000 can occupy an
independent signaling point code and share the same signaling point code with the softswitch.
The softswitch does not require to support the MTP3 and its lower-layer narrowband
protocols.
Figure 11-4 shows the relationship between parameters and indices of the M3UA data tables.
Configure the M3UA data from the upper table to the lower table in the figure. Add the upper
tables first then the lower tables. Delete lower tables first, then the upper tables.
Example 1:
Add a destination signaling point and all its information, such as the M3UA application server,
M3UA route, M3UA link set, and M3UA link.
The correct order is: add destination signaling point -> add M3UA application server -> add
M3UA link set -> add M3UA route -> add M3UA link.
Example 2:
Delete a destination signaling point and all its information, such as the M3UA application server,
M3UA route, M3UA link set, and M3UA link.
The right order is: delete M3UA link -> delete M3UA route -> delete M3UA link set -> delete
M3UA application server -> delete destination signaling point.

board in the same frame as possible as the message should be.
l To add a new record of local IP address combination, the IP address index should be
configured from 1 to 16 consecutively, and there must not be an empty index not configured
between two IP address indices.
M3UA Link
When configuring broadband links, you must ensure that the combination of "local IP address
+ local port number + remote port number + remote IP address" is unique on one SG7000.
Otherwise, the first broadband link added with this combination can work normally, and other
links cannot be successfully configured.
Configure the hardware data, local office data, and SCTP data before configuring the M3UA
data. Refer to Table 11-2 for details.
You need not perform step 8 ADD M3CR if the SG7000 works in the signaling transfer point
mode.

signaling point code, which is different from that of the AS; while
in the agent mode, their signaling point codes are the same.
DPCX Destinatio In the SG7000, the local office information table (OFI) and
n point destination signaling point table (N7DSP) are shared by both
code index M3UA and MTP3. The M3UA has no individual OFI and N7DSP.
If the SG7000 works in the transfer mode, the Destination point
code index is obtained from the destination signaling point table.
If it works in the agent mode, the Destination point code index is
obtained from the local office information table or local office OPC
information table.
DPCT Destinatio It specifies the name of a record in the local information (OFI) table
n point or DSP (N7DSP) table.
code title It is optional. Its value is of the character type and can contain up

the command ADD M3AS.
OFX Original It is the original point code index generating the service messages
point code and specifies the scope of the M3UA messages forwarded by the
index SG7000. That is, under the condition that the SG7000 receives all
signaling messages, it forwards the message whose OPC field
matches with that in the Original point code index configured
here; otherwise, the message is discarded.
The value is ALL by default, indicating that the application server
can process the messages from all the signaling points instead of
only one signaling point.
ECIC End CIC Start CIC and End CIC according to the value of Service
identify.
For example, if the parameter Service identify is set to TUP (TUP
message), the mark part of the MSU contains such fields as DPC,
OPC, CIC, and so on. Of them, the CIC filed uniquely determines
to which voice channel this TUP message belongs.
If several application servers share one signaling point code,
routing cannot be implemented by the OPC and DPC. In this case,
you can define a range by specifying Start CIC and End CIC.
Under the condition that the SG7000 receives all the signaling
messages, it forwards the message whose CIC value is within the
range defined here; otherwise, the message is discarded.

ion The value field is the decimal value of a 4-bit binary number. For example, for
sele the link select mask code 1001, the corresponding decimal value is 9. It is set
ct to 0 by default.
mas The configuration principle of the parameter is as follows:
k
code l Set all the four bits to 0 if there is only one M3UA link.
l Set one bit to 1 if there are two M3UA links.
l Set two bits to 1 if there are three or four M3UA links.
l Set three bits to 1 if there are five or eight M3UA links.
l Set all the four bits to 1 if there are more than eight links.
l To avoid the system always choosing the same link, do not set the link set
select mask code and this parameter to the same value. It is recommended
to stagger the places of "1" of the two mask codes. For example, if the link
set select mask code is 0110, the link select mask code can be set to 1001.
TM Traf It identifies the traffic mode of the M3UA links in the M3UA link set. The two
fic ends of the interconnected link sets must be in the same transmission mode,
mod otherwise the M3UA link cannot work. It is recommended to use the load
e sharing mode. The two options of traffic mode are as follows:
l OVERRIDE (Over-ride mode): It is the N+1 backup mode. In this mode,
only one M3UA link in the link set is active, and the others are in the standby
state. When the active link fails, a standby link is activated and it begins to
transmit the traffic.

Assumption
The M3UA data configuration networking is shown in Figure 11-5. This section describes the
data configuration when the SG7000 works in the transfer mode and agent mode respectively.
Data Collection
In example 1 in Figure 11-5, the SG7000 works in the transfer mode and has independent
signaling code.
There are two M3UA links between the SoftX3000A and the SG7000. Each M3UA link bears
SS7 services in load sharing mode. The slots 5 and 10 of the SG7000 are configured with two
SBPIs to provide the local IP address. Refer to Table 11-12 for the data collection.
Procedure
Step 1 To set the local office information, set National network code to A1111A, SCCP function to
False, Logic network index to 0, and run the following command:
SET OFI: SN1=NM, SN2=NS, SN3=IM, SN4=IS, NPC="A1111A", SCCP=FALSE;
Step 3 To add the SBPI in slots 5 and 10, set Board property indicator to 2. That is, the IP address
allocated to the SBPI is 211.169.150.70, and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Run the following
command:
ADD BRD: FN=0, SHN=0, FT=MAIN, SN=5, LOC=FPB, BT=SBPI, PI=2;
ADD BRD: FN=0, SHN=0, FT=MAIN, SN=10, LOC=FPB, BT=SBPI, PI=2;
Step 4 To add the local IP combination, set FE index 1 to the IP address of the SBPI of the local frame.
The index number of the address is 2. The local IP combination index 0 is obtained after running
the command.
ADD LIPC: FEX1=2;
Step 5 Add the remote IP address and obtain the index 0 of the remote IP address.
ADD RIP: RIP="11.11.11.1";
Step 6 To add the remote IP combination, set Remote IP address index 1 to 0. The index 0 of the
remote IP combination is obtained after running the command.
ADD RIPC: RIPX1=0;
Step 7 Add the IP address of the SoftX3000A into the IPDACL table.
ADD IPDACL: IP="11.11.11.1";
Step 8 Set DSP title to HW-A, National network code to B1111B, STP to False, Route selection
field to 0, and SCCP function to False. For the other parameters, keep the default values. The
DSP index 1 is obtained after running the command.
ADD N7DSP: DESC="HW-A", NPC="B1111B", STP=FALSE, SLS=0, SCCPUSED=NONE;
Step 9 To add the M3UA application server, set Destination point code index to 1, Network
indication to National network, Association set select mask code to 0 because there is only
one link set. The index 0 of the application server is obtained after running the command.
ADD M3AS: NI=NM, SWM=TM, DPCX=1, RC=1166;
Step 10 To add the M3UA link set, set Association select mask code to 1 because there are two M3UA
links. The link set index 0 is obtained after running the command.
ADD M3ASSOS: ASX=1, ASC=1, WM=SGP;
Step 12 To add the first M3UA link, set Board assoc. number to 0, Remote port to 2905, Priority to
0, SCTP index to 0, and Active_standby flag to any value because Traffic mode is set to
LOADSHARE in the command ADD M3ASSOS. Keep the default values for other parameters.
ADD M3ASSO: FN=0, SN=0, BN=0, PLNO=0, LIPCX=0, RIPCX=0, CS=S, ASSI=0,
ASF=YES, SCTPIDX=0;
Step 13 To add the second M3UA link, set Board assoc. number to 1, Remote port to 2911,
Priority to 1, SCTP index to 1, and Active_standby flag to any value because Traffic mode
is set to LOADSHARE in the command ADD M3ASSOS, and keep the default values for other
parameters, run the following command:
ADD M3ASSO: FN=0, SN=0, BN=0, PLNO=1, LIPCX=0, RIPCX=0, RP=2911, CS=S,
ASSI=0, ASF=YES, PRI=1, SCTPIDX=1;

Data Collection
In example 2 in Figure 11-5, the SG7000 connects to the SoftX3000C through the M3UA
protocol. The SG7000 works in the agent mode and shares a signaling point code with the
SoftX3000. The LS is the DSP of the SG7000 and SoftX3000C.
There are two M3UA links between the SoftX3000C and the SG7000. Each M3UA link bears
SS7 signaling services in load sharing mode. Slots 5 and 10 of the SG7000 are configured with
two SBPIs to provide the local IP address. Refer to Table 11-13 for the data collection.
Local office
SG work signaling Remote IP Remote SCTP port
mode DSP code point code address number
NOTE
In agent mode, the processing of GT translation varies depending on the setting of Parameter 1 in the
SET SOFTCFG command:
l When Parameter 1 is set to 0, the STP agent function is disabled and the GT translation is performed
on the SoftX3000.
l When Parameter 1 is set to 8, the STP agent function is enabled and the GT translation is performed
on the SG7000.
Procedure
Step 1 To add the local office OPC information, set National network code to C1111C and Logic
network index to 0. The signaling point index 1 is obtained after running the command.
ADD OPC: NPC="C1111C";
NOTE
l In example 1, use the command SET OFI to add the local office information of the SG7000 and the
SoftX3000 whose signaling point code is B1111B. Therefore, use the command ADD OPC to add the
other local office signaling point code of the SG7000.
l The local IP and local IP combination is configured in example 1. Thus, it is not required to configure
them again.
Step 2 Add the IP address of the SoftX3000C into the IPDACL table.
ADD IPDACL: IP="22.22.22.1";
Step 3 Add the remote IP address to obtain the index 1 of the remote IP address.
ADD RIP: RIP="22.22.22.1";
Step 4 To add the remote IP combination, set Remote IP address index 1 to 1. The index 1 of the
remote IP combination is obtained after running the command.
ADD RIPC: RIPX1=1;
Step 5 To add the M3UA application server, set Network indication to National network,
Destination point code index to the local office signaling point index 1 of the SG7000, and
Association set select mask code to 0 because there is only one link set. The index 1 of the
application server is obtained after running the command.
ADD M3AS: NI=NM, SWM=AM, DPCX=1, RC=2266;
Step 6 To add the complementary routing, set Application server index and Original point code
index to 1 because the original signaling point generating the M3UA messages is the application
server. Set the default values for other parameters.
ADD M3CR: ASX=1, OFX=1;
Step 7 To add the M3UA link set, set Association select mask code to 2 because there are two M3UA
links. The link set index 1 is obtained after running the command.
ADD M3ASSOS: ASX=0, ASC=2, WM=SGP;
Step 9 To add the first M3UA link, set Board assoc. number to 2, Remote port to 2905, Priority to
0, SCTP index to 0, and Active_standby flag to any value because the Traffic mode is set to
LOADSHARE in the command ADD M3ASSOS, and keep the default values for other
parameters, run the following command:
ADD M3ASSO: FN=0, SN=0, BN=0, PLNO=2, LIPCX=0, RIPCX=1, CS=S, ASSI=1,
ASF=YES, SCTPIDX=0;
Step 10 To add the second M3UA link, set Board assoc. number to 3, Remote port to 2911,
Priority to 1, SCTP index to 1, and Active_standby flag to any value because the Traffic
mode is set to LOADSHARE in the command ADD M3ASSOS, and keep the default values
for other parameters, run the following command:
ADD M3ASSO: FN=0, SN=0, BN=0, PLNO=3, LIPCX=0, RIPCX=1, RP=2911, CS=S,
ASSI=1, ASF=YES, PRI=1, SCTPIDX=1;

This chapter describes how to configure the M3UA shielding data. Before configuring the
M3UA shielding data, you must ensure that the hardware data, local office data, MTP data, and
M3UA data are already configured. This chapter is optional. When the M3UA shielding data is
not required, you can skip this chapter.
The M3UA and MTP shielding data references the same data table. The difference is that the
M3UA shielding data cannot reference the forbidden TFM shielding condition; however, the
message type and route context are added as the shielding conditions to the M3UA shielding
data. The reference relations are describes as follows:
l If two M3UA-specific shielding conditions are not used by the shielding chain when you
configure the shielding data, the configured shielding chain data can be referenced by both
the MTP and M3UA shielding. You only need to reference the corresponding index of the
initial shielding table when you configure Incoming shielding table index and Outgoing
shielding table index of a link set.
l If two M3UA-specific shielding conditions are used by the shielding chain when you
configure the shielding data, the configured shielding chain data can be referenced only by
the M3UA link set.
l If the forbidden TFM shielding conditions are used by the shielding chain when you
configure the shielding data, the configured shielding chain data can be referenced only by
the MTP link.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 12-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
12.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used when you configure the M3UA shielding data.
With the M3UA shielding function, the system can filter the specific messages based on message
types. The filtered messages are transferrable; however, they should be discarded. When the
message content or the related information of a message contains a certain specified feature, the
message is called a specific message. The message content or the related information is classified
into the following types:
l The link set that receives the message
l The link set that sends the message
l The OPC in the message
l The DPC in the message
l The SIO in the message
l The route context in the message
l The related signaling point information in the message
l The message type in the message
One or more of the preceding items can be combined to form a shielding condition to filter the
specific messages. For example, you can filter an M3UA message by combining the following
filter conditions:
l The message is sent from signaling point AAAAAA.
l The message class is 0.
l The message type is 0.
The difference between the M3UA message shielding and the MTP message shielding is that,
M3UA messages can be shielded based on the message type and the route context.
The system shields the specific M3UA messages in searching and matching mode. That is, the
system compares the contents of the specific M3UA message with a series of sequential shielding
conditions (shielding chain) to check whether the shielding conditions are met. If yes, the system
performs the operation specified by the table item. If not, the system performs the default
operation.
This network structure demonstrates only the interconnection between the SG7000 and the
softswitch device. Any device that interconnects with the SG7000 through the M3UA protocol
can implement the M3UA shielding function. The SG7000 can shield the M3UA messages
between other networks and the softswitch device based on the configured shielding conditions.
After the M3UA shielding data that is configured on the SG7000 is referenced by a configured
M3UA link, the M3UA link can shield the M3UA messages based on the referenced shielding
chain. For example, after the shielding chain "shielding OPC is AAAAAA" configured on the
SG7000 is referenced by Outgoing shielding table index of the M3UA link set between the
SG7000 and the softswitch device, all messages sent from the signaling point AAAAAA to the
softswitch device through the SG7000 are discarded. In this example, the type of signaling point
AAAAAA is irrelevant to this service.
Figure 12-3 Reference relation between M3UA shielding conditions and link set
l As shown by part a in Figure 12-4, the parameter Shielding reference in the prohibited
M3UA message type table and the prohibited RC table can be referenced only by the
shielding tables above them except the prohibited TFM table.
l As shown by part b in Figure 12-4, the parameter Shielding reference in the prohibited
TFM table can be referenced only by the shielding tables above the table. The prohibited
TFM table can only be an end shielding condition in the MTP shielding.
l The reference relations in other tables are similar as those in the prohibited RC table,
prohibited M3UA message type table, and prohibited TFM table. That is, the parameter
Shielding reference in a table can be referenced only by the shielding tables above.
Ten shielding tables in the figure can form different shielding chains from top to bottom. For
example:
l Initial shielding table (N7IM) -> Link set shielding table (N7LSM) -> Prohibited OPC table
(N7DO) -> prohibited SIO table (N7DSIO)
l Initial shielding table (N7IM) -> link set shielding table (N7LSM) -> prohibited OPC table
(N7DO) -> prohibited DPC table (N7DD) -> prohibited TFM table (N7DTFM)
l Initial shielding table (N7IM) -> link set shielding table (N7LSM) -> prohibited OPC table
(N7DO) -> prohibited DPC table (N7DD) -> allowed OPC table (N7EO) -> allowed DPC
table (N7ED) -> prohibited SIO table (N7DSIO) -> prohibited M3UA message type table
-> prohibited RC table (M3RC)
NOTE
The prohibited TFM table and prohibited RC table can only be the end of the shielding chain, that is, they
cannot reference other shielding tables. The prohibited TFM table can only be referenced in the MTP
shielding, and the prohibited RC table and prohibited M3UA message type table can only be referenced in
the M3UA shielding.
It is recommended to add a shielding chain from bottom to top, that is, add the shielding table
(as shown in Figure 12-4) at the bottom first, and then add the shielding table above it. When
deleting a shielding chain, delete the shielding table at the top of the shielding chain, and then
delete the shielding table below it, because the referenced shielding table cannot be deleted.

The M2PA data is required when the SG7000 connects with the softswitch device that supports
the MTP3 over M2PA. Before configuring the M2PA data, make sure that the hardware data,
local office data, and SCTP data are configured.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 13-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
13.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used during configuring the M2PA data.
M2PA is the peer-to-peer adaptation layer of No.7 MTP2 in the SIGTRAN protocol. The M2PA,
together with the SCTP, simulates functions of the MTP2 to provide an IP No.7 signaling link
and the primitive access of the MTP2 for its upper layer. In this way, MTP3 can operate the IP-
based links.
For parameter referencing relationship between the tables shared by the MTP and M2PA, see
chapter 4 Configuring MTP Data.
The parameter referencing relation between the M2PA link and the local IP address combination,
and the M2PA data and the remote IP address combination are shown in Figure 13-3.
Before configuring the M2PA data, collect the data listed in Table 13-1.

----End
The No.7 MTP2-User Adaptation layer protocol (M2UA) data is required when the SG7000
connects with NGN equipment such as the trunk media gateway (TMG) over M2UA. Before
configuring the M2UA data, make sure that the hardware data, local office data, and SCTP data
are configured.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 14-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
14.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used during configuring the M2UA data.
M2UA
M2UA is defined by RFC 3331. It transmits Message Transfer Part Level 3 (MTP3) messages
through IP, using Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) or other proper transmission
protocols. In the SG7000, functions of M2UA are realized at the application server (AS) side.
Figure 14-2 shows the protocol stack.
For instance, the media gateway controller (MGC) processes calls on MTP3 and those on SS7
links terminated at the SG7000. An MTP2 link over an M2UA link set is regarded as an AS in
the NGN.
ASP
An ASP is an instance of the AS process. It corresponds to an SCTP endpoint and can serve
multiple ASs. It works in the active/standby mode in the M2UA application. Only the active
ASP processes services.
Interface ID
It is used to communicate between the two ends of M2UA. It can be in the text coding scheme
or the integer coding scheme. An interface ID corresponds to an actual physical link and is locally
effective. It is negotiated by equipment (such as the SG and the TMG) connecting the two ends.
See Figure 14-3.
Figure 14-3 Relationship between the SS7 link, interface ID, and AS and ASP
Layer Management
It is the node function of the SG or the ASP, which processes input and output between the
M2UA layer and the local management entities.
M2UA Link
It is the logical connection between the SG and the MGC/TMG ASP. An M2UA link contains
SCTP associations of the SG and the ASP and those between the SG and the ASP. Its state
corresponds to the states of the ASP and the SCTP association.
Figure 14-4 shows the M2UA network structure. The structure can be simplified after the M2UA
links are introduced, as shown in Figure 14-5.
The M2UA link provides channels for one or multiple MTP2 links, to communicate with the
MTP3 users. Each MTP2 link is mapped to a specific M2UA link through an M2UA interface
ID. You must run commands to configure the relationship. Therefore, data from the MTP2 links
can be transparently transmitted through the M2UA links.
Client/Server Model
Both, the SGP and the ASP can support operations on the server and the client. If there are two
endpoints using the M2UA, configure one endpoint as the client and the other as the server.
Figure 14-6 shows the networking structure of the M2UA application. The SG7000 terminates
the M2UA link coming from the TMG, and then sends signaling messages to the SoftX3000
through the M3UA link.
NOTE
l You can delete data in the tables only when the data is unavailable.
l You can delete a configuration table only when it is not referenced by other tables.
configure the link on the board in frame 3, use combination 3. Thus, messages can be sent
from the SBPI board in the located frame.
l When adding a new record of the local IP address combination, consecutively configure
the IP address index from 1 to 16. Make sure that all indices between two IP address indices
are configured.
M2UA Link
l Select the same local IP address combination index for links on one SBPU/SBPE. Set the
first IP address of the combination index to the IP address index of the SBPI board in the
same frame with the SBPU/SBPE.
l If the same IP address combination index is unavailable for links on one SBPU/SBPE,
ensure that there are no repeated IP address indices in different IP address combinations.
l Configure M2UA links belonging to one M2UA link set on the same board.
l Configure the M2UA link and the M2UA link that carries its services on the same board.
l Configure the M2UA data in the sequence of IP address and IP address combination →

TMODE Traffic It identifies the traffic mode of the M2UA links in an M2UA link
manage set. The two ends of the interconnected link sets must be in the
mode same transmission mode; otherwise, the M2UA link cannot work
normally. The load sharing mode is recommended. There are two
options:
l MB (Primary-standby): It is the N+1 backup mode. In this mode,
only one M2UA link in the link set is active, and the others are
in the standby state. When the active link fails, a standby link is
activated and begins to transmit the traffic.
l SHARE (Charge-shared): All links in the M2UA link set are
active. The traffic is shared by all the links in the set.
By default, it is set to SHARE.
USETXT Whether It identifies the working mode of an M2UA link set. There are two
use text options:
interface l UNUSED (Unused): integer interface ID of the local M2UA
index link set
l USE (Use): text interface ID of the local M2UA link set
By default, it is set to UNUSED, indicating the integer interface

SHPU_2M board, the port number is always set to 0. Other links
are not allowed on this board.
l When two HSL links are configured on the SHPU_2M board,
the port numbers are always set to 0 and 1.
l When one HSL link and 64-kbit/s links are configured on the
SHPU_2M board, port 0 is configured with the HSL link, ports
1-15 are idle, and ports 16-31 are configured with 64-kbit/s
links.

----End
The IUA data is required when the SG7000 connects with the softswitch device and the IAD
over the ISDN Q.921-User Adaptation (IUA) protocol. Before configuring the IUA data, make
sure that the hardware data, local office data, and SCTP data are configured.
To configure the SG7000 data, follow the procedure as shown in Figure 15-1. In this way, the
key fields are defined before they are referenced by other data tables and no junk data is
generated.
15.1.1 Terms
This section describes the terms used during configuring the IUA data.
IUA Protocol
The IUA protocol is defined by RFC 3057. IUA transmits the user signaling message (Q.931)
of the Q.921 layer of DSS1 through the stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) or other
proper protocols and IP. The ISDN interface supporting the IUA protocol is ISDN basic rate
access (BRA) interface and primary rate access (PRA) interface. Figure 15-2 shows the protocol
stack.
The SG7000 supports the convergence and forwarding functions provided in the standard IUA
protocol. The communication process can be as follows:
l Point-to-point
l Point-to-multipoint
Interface
The IUA protocol supports the interface related to the ISDN signaling channel. The ISDN
signaling channel can be the channel D with the speed of 16 kbit/s, which is used for ISDN BRI,
and the basic or backup signaling channel with the speed of 64 kbit/s, which is used for ISDN
PRI.
Layer Management
Layer management is the function of a local node. It processes the transmission of messages
between the IUA layer and the local management entity.
The networking structure for configuring the IUA data is as shown in Figure 15-4.
In the IUA connection between one or more IADs and the SG7000 , the IAD serves as an SGP,
and the SG7000 serves as an ASP. In the IUA connection between the SG7000 and the
Softswtich, the SG7000 is located at the SGP side, and the softswtich at the ASP side.
NOTE
l All data in the tables can be deleted only when they are unavailable.
l A configuration table can be deleted only when it is not referenced by other tables.
Table 15-1 lists the data required when configuring the IUA data.
Remote port number Maximum number of IUA Maximum number of IUA links
link sets
CAUTION
When configuring the IUA data, do not configure any other data.
IUA link
l In initial state, you cannot configure the IUA link directly. Set MAX NUMBERS OF IUA
LINKSET, MAX NUMBERS OF IUA LINK, and MAX USERS OF IAD to a value
(except 0) in the command SET SOFTCFG before configuring the IUA link.
l When the connection between the SG7000 and the IAD is configured, the IUA links need
configuring. It is recommended to configure the data offline, and then load all the
configured data to the host.
l When you create the link from the IAD to the MGC through the SG7000 converging, add
the IUA link set from the SG7000 to the IAD because the IUA link set from the SG7000
to the MGC already exists by default.
NOTE
The system provides 256 IUA link sets between the SG7000 and the MGC by default. In this case, when
you use the command ADD IUALKS to add the IUA link set, it is the link set between the IAD and the
SG7000. The index of the link set starts from 256.
Interface
The IUA feature of the SG7000 only implements the convergence and forwarding functions of
the IUA link. When the interface of an IUA link is globally unique, the interface configured on
the SG to connect the IAD cannot be the same as the one configured to connect the softswitch.
An IAD interface must correspond to a softswitch interface so that the SG7000 can transparently
transfer the IUA message. In the SG7000, the interface between the SG7000 and the IAD (or
the softswitch) is configured by the system. You do not require to configure them manually at
the background. The calculation principle inside the system is as follows:
The value of the interface between the SG7000 and each IAD is the value between 0 and the
value generated by subtracting 1 from the maximum number of users of the IAD. The value of
the interface between the SG7000 and the softswitch is generated like this: Multiply the IAD
index with 256 (eighth power of 2) to obtain a value, and then add the obtained value to the value
of the IAD interface.
According to the above calculation principle, the IAD interfaces and softswitch interfaces are
configured. At the same time, the corresponding relationship between every IAD interface and
every softswitch interface is formed.
Configure the IUA data after configuring the hardware data, local office data, and SCTP data.
For details of configuration steps, see Table 15-2.

COT Congestio This is the start threshold when congestion occurs to this IUA link.
n onset It specifies the threshold of the signaling load of the SG7000 on
threshold the IUA link, above which the congestion control is started. The
unit is "%".
CDT Congestio This is the threshold value to discard the congestion occurring to
n discard this IUA link. It specifies the threshold of the signaling load of the
threshold SG7000 on the IUA link, below which the congestion control is
discarded after the SG7000 starts the congestion control and
restricts the transmission signaling load of an IUA link. The unit
is "%". The IUA link can transmit the traffic again after the
congestion control is discarded.

Procedure
Step 1 To add the local IP address 10.10.10.1/255.255.0.0, run the following command:
ADD LIP: LIP="10.10.10.1", MSK="255.255.0.0", DGW="10.10.1.1";
This section takes the configuration on the SBPU for an example. The configuration on the SBPE is the same
as that on the SBPU.
1. Set Board property indicator to 1, indicating that the IUA on the local board is connected
with the IAD.
ADD BRD: FN=4, SHN=1, FT=MAIN, SN=3, LOC=FPB, BT=SBPU, PI=1;
2. To add the front board SBPU in slot 4, service frame 1, and shelf 4, set Board property
indicator to 0, indicating that the IUA on the local board is connected with the MGC.
ADD BRD: FN=4, SHN=1, FT=MAIN, SN=4, LOC=FPB, BT=SBPU, PI=0;
Step 3 To add the local IP address combination table, set FE index 1 to the IP address of the SBPU of
the local frame, the index number of the address to 0, and run the following command:
After running the command, the local IP address combination index 0 is returned.
Step 4 To add the IP address of the IAD, run the following command:
ADD EXRIP: RIP="11.11.11.1";
After running the command, the extended remote IP address index 0 is returned.
Step 5 To add the extended remote IP address combination table, set Remote IP address index 1 to
0, and run the following command:
ADD EXRIPC: RIPX1=0;
After running the command, the extended remote IP address combination index 0 is returned.
Step 6 To add the extended access control information, set Extended IP address to 11.11.11.1, and
run the following command:
ADD EXIPDACL: IP="11.11.11.1";
Step 7 To add the IP address of the MGC, run the following command:
ADD EXRIP: RIP="12.12.12.1";
After running the command, the extended remote IP address index 1 is returned.
Step 8 To add the extended remote IP address combination table, set Remote IP address index 2 to
1, and run the following command:
ADD EXRIPC: RIPX2=1;
After running the command, the extended remote IP address combination index 1 is returned.
Step 9 To add the extended access control information, set Extended IP address to 12.12.12.1, and
run the following command:
ADD EXIPDACL: IP="12.12.12.1";
To set the software configuration parameter, set MAX numbers of IUA linkset to 10000, MAX
numbers of IUA link to 20000, MAX users of IAD to 4, and run the following command:
SET SOFTCFG: MXLNKS=10000, MXLNK=20000, MXUSER=4;
Step 12 Stop all the service processes on the BAM and then restart them.
To set the board software DIP switch, set Set mode to ALL, DIP switch value to 224, and run
the following command:
SET SFTSWT: MODE=ALL, VAL=224;
Step 14 To add the IUA link set, set Link Set title to To IAD, Traffic mode to LOADSHARE, IAD
index to 2, MGC linkset index to 1, and run the following command:
ADD IUALKS: SDESC="TO IAD", TRAFMODE=LOADSHARE, IADIDX=2, MGCIDX=1;
After running the command, the link set index 256 is returned.
Step 15 To add the IUA links, set Association title to To IAD, Shelf number to 4, Frame number to
1, Slot number to 3, Board assoc. number to 0, Local IP combination index to 0, Remote
IP combination index to 0, Local port to 1025, Remote port to 1025, C/S mode to Client
side, Association set index to 256, and use the default values for the other parameters. Now,
run the following command:
ADD IUALNK: SDESC="TO IAD", SHN=4, FN=1, SN=3, PLNO=0, LIPCX=0, LP=1025,
RIPCX=0, RP=1025, CS=C, ASSI=256;
Step 16 To add the IUA links, set Association title to To MGC, Shelf number to 4, Frame number
to 1, Slot number to 4, Board assoc. number to 1, Local IP combination index to 1, Remote
IP combination index to 1, Local port to 1025, Remote port to 1025, C/S mode to Server
side, Association set index to 1, and use the default values for the other parameters. Now, run
the following command:
ADD IUALNK: SDESC="TO MGC", SHN=4, FN=1, SN=4, PLNO=1, LIPCX=1, LP=1025,
RIPCX=1, RP=1025, CS=C, ASSI=1;
