Configuring Ss7 - Lucent Technologies PortMaster 4 Configuration Manual

Configuring SS7

Command> set view 1
Command 1> set line0 nfas secondary 4 5
Command 1> set line1 nfas slave 5 5
Command 1> set line2 nfas slave 6 5
Command 1> set line3 nfas slave 7 5
Command 1> save all
Command 1> reset slot1
To take full advantage of NFAS, you can configure three more Quad T1 boards as slave
interfaces for a maximum of 20 interfaces.
Standard NFAS
The convention, when configuring NFAS, is to set interface 0 as the primary D channel.
In this example, Line0 in slot 0 is set as the primary D channel for group 5. All other
interfaces are set as slave interfaces.

Configuring SS7
Signaling System 7 (SS7) is an out-of-band signaling system that provides fast call setup
by means of high-speed connections and transactions. SS7 uses physical out-or-band
signaling, which means that signaling is transmitted over a full-duplex, 64Kbps digital
transmission channel on an entirely separate network from the voice and/or data
information. Voice and/or data traffic flows over intermachine trunks (IMTs). SS7 makes
possible features such as caller ID, call forwarding, and call waiting. When you configure
SS7, you identify an SS7 gateway to the signaling network that does call management
for user traffic on IMTs.
Because modem pools are managed on a slot-by-slot basis, each slot in the PortMaster 4
configured for IMTs is an SS7 client and sets up an independent session with the SS7
gateway. A PortMaster 4 supports only one SS7 gateway and can dedicate only
96 modems on its installed Quad T1 or Tri E1 boards to SS7.
