Provisioning
Type
Description
SS7 Node Name String
Up to 20 chars.
Offline_create The textual, user-defined name for the
SS7 Node, enabling it to be identified
intuitively and easily.
Network Type Enum
Narrowband,
Broadband
Offline Defines the SS7 network type.
For the MTP3/M3UA application,
define the Network Type as
narrowband
For the Broadband SS7 (UMTS)
configuration, define the Network Type
as broadband.
For narrowband SS7 Node only, the
MTP2 signaling links are supported. For
broadband SS7 Node only, the SAAL
signaling links are supported.
Variant Enum
Itu, Ansi, China
Offline Defines the international or national MTP3
variant.
Originating PC String
Up to 20 chars.
Offline
Defines the signaling point code of the
SS7 Node. It can be specified in numeric
(e.g., 15) or X-Y-Z (e.g., 0-1-1) formats.
The ANSI point code uses 24-bits. It
consists of three octets – network, cluster
and member. An octet is an 8-bit byte
which can contain any value between 0
and 255.
The ITU point code uses 14 bits. It is a
pure binary number that may be stated in
terms of zone (3 bits), area/network (8
bits) and signaling point identification (3
bits) numbers.
The China point code uses 24-bits and is
incompatible with both ANSI and ITU
networks.
Network
Indicator
Enum
International,
InternationalSpare,
National,
NationalSpare
Offline Defines the network indicator.
Routing
Functionality
Enum
Sp, Stp
Offline Defines the routing functionality of the
SS7 Node – Signaling Point (SP) or
Signal Transfer Point (STP).
