Setting The Intermachine Trunk - Lucent Technologies PortMaster 4 Configuration Manual

You configure the PortMaster 4 for SS7 by setting the SS7 gateway address and TCP
port, the TCP port on the PortMaster 4 and, occasionally, the switch type. You must
configure each slot independently. The SS7 gateway address and target TCP port are
provided by the SS7 gateway administrator. The TCP port of the PortMaster 4 is the base
value that is used to generate the source TCP port number for the Quad T1 or Tri E1
board in each slot that has active IMTs. The actual port number is the base value plus
the board's slot number.

Setting the Intermachine Trunk

To specify the SS7 gateway that does call management (signaling) for intermachine
trunks (IMTs), use the following command:
Command> set imt-parms Ipaddress Tport1 Tport1 [1a|default]
See the PortMaster 4 Command Line Reference for syntax information.
How you configure the IMT depends on whether you use the default 5ESS switch type
or the optional 1A switch type.
Using a Default Switch Type
To configure the PortMaster 4 to communicate with an SS7 gateway using the default
IMT switch type, you set only the IP address and port number of the gateway, and the
PortMaster 4 base port number. You do not need to set the switch type—if it is not
specified, the default is assumed.
For example, to set an SS7 gateway with IP address 192.168.10.10 and TCP port
number 10000 to communicate with a line board in slot 0 on TCP port 7000, enter the
following commands:
Command> set view 0
Command 0> set imt-parms 192.168.10.10 10000 7000
Changed gateway IP address from 0.0.0.0 to 192.168.10.10
Changed gateway port from 0 to 10000
Changed local port from 7000 to 7000
The local port number (7000) is the TCP socket address the PortMaster 4 uses to
communicate with the SS7 gateway. Because each Quad T1 or Tri E1 line board you
configure for SS7 automatically adds its own slot number to the base port number, you
use the same IMT base port number for each slot you configure. Always configure slot 0
first.
You must then save the configuration and reboot the PortMaster for the changes to take
effect.
Command 0> save all
Command 0> reset slot0
