Version 6.6 483 October 2014
Installation & Operation Manual 38. Configuring the PSTN Subsystem
38.6.3.4 Advanced Configuration
Additional parameters and timers of MTP2 signaling links may be configured via
MTP2 Profile. The default MTP2 Profile contains all default settings as specified in the
ITU standard. In a typical configuration, all SS7 Data Links are attached to the same
MTP2 Profile.
You can create additional MTP2 Profiles and attach them to specific SS7 Data Links.
Or, alternatively, you can modify the existing MTP2 Profile configuration.

A64kbps(64)
Online Defines the MTP2 Link Rate.
Error
Correction
Method
Enum
Basic(0), PCRC(1)

Retransmission. Refer to ITU-T Q.703
for details.
SUERM
Threshold (T)
Integer
0 – 255
Online Defines the Signal Unit Error Rate
Monitor (SUERM) Threshold (T) – the
number of consecutive signal units
received in error that will cause an error
rate high indication.
Refer to ITU-T Q.703 for details.
Lowest SU
Error Rate
(D)
Integer
0 – 256
Online Defines the D, where the lowest signal
unit error rate - which is 1/D (signal unit
errors/signal unit) - will ultimately cause
an error rate high indication. Refer to
ITU-T Q.703 for details.

Refer to ITU-T Q.703 for details.
Emergency
ER
Threshold
(Tie)
Integer
0 – 10
Online Defines the Emergency Threshold (Tie) -
that a specific proving period is aborted.
