Chapter 1 Overview 1.8 IP Security The Signaling Gateway offers a number of security features to protect it from unwarranted access on its IP interface. It is recommended that you always enable the optional password protection on the management interface port and on the FTP server port (if used). For additional security, the Signaling Gateway is also equipped to support telnet and FTP access using a Secure Shell (SSH).
PAGE 13
Dialogic® DSI Signaling Server SGW Mode User Manual Issue 5 1.9.2 Configuration Model MTP data messages are considered to arrive at either an MTP3 link set or an M3UA SIGTRAN link. The link set or M3UA SIGTRAN link identifies the network and SS7 format of the message. MTP3 link sets can exist above a TDM MTP2 signaling link or a signaling link utilizing a M2PA SIGTRAN link for communication over IP. The decision as to how to process the data message is performed by the incoming route.
PAGE 14
Chapter 1 Overview 1.9.6 Alarm Log The Signaling Server is able to detect a number of events or alarm conditions relating to either the hardware or the operation of the protocols. Each alarm condition is assigned a severity/class (3 = Critical, 4 = Major, 5 = Minor) and a category and ID, which give more detail about the alarm.

Dialogic® DSI Signaling Server SGW Mode User Manual Issue 5 3.2.2 IP Configuration The Signaling Gateway is configured with a default IP address of 192.168.0.1. If this address is not unique, or not suitable for the existing network configuration, it is necessary to change this value to a unique IP address in the Ethernet network to which it is connected. Instructions for making this change are given below.
PAGE 24
Chapter 3 Licensing, Installation and Initial Configuration An optional password can be set to control remote access to the MML.
PAGE 25
Dialogic® DSI Signaling Server SGW Mode User Manual Issue 5 3.2.4 Installing Software Licenses This section describes how additional licenses are installed on the Signaling Server. Each Signaling Server is licensed to run specific components of the protocol stack. The STLCP command provides a printout that shows which components are licensed on a particular unit. Each unit is uniquely identified by a unit identity value, which is displayed as the UNITID parameter in the CNSYP command output.
PAGE 26
Chapter 3 Licensing, Installation and Initial Configuration 3.2.6 Changing System Operation Mode By default, the Signaling Gateway is shipped configured to operate in TEST mode. Once an SGW license has been applied, the system must be restarted using the MNRSI MML command requesting that the unit operate in SGW mode. Connect a VT100 terminal to identify the mode of operation (See Section 3.2.1, “Connecting a VT100 Terminal” on page 22).

Dialogic® DSI Signaling Server SGW Mode User Manual Issue 5 Chapter 7: Configuration Overview This section provides an overview of the various components that are used in the configuration of a Signaling Gateway and how these components relate to each other. The Signaling Gateway configuration is described in the following categories: • System, Hardware and Signaling Configuration – The configuration of system Ethernet addresses, signaling boards and PCMs.
PAGE 136
Chapter 7 Configuration Overview 7.1.2 Boards and PCMs A Signaling Gateway contains a number of SS7 signaling boards located in individual board positions (BPOS). Signaling boards are managed using the CNBOx commands. A Dialogic® DSI SS7 Network Interface Board can terminate up to two PCM (PCM) trunks for connection to either a Signaling End Point (SEP) or Signaling Transfer Point (STP).
PAGE 137
Dialogic® DSI Signaling Server SGW Mode User Manual Issue 5 7.2 Signaling Configuration 7.2.1 SS7 Configuration A Link Set (LS) is the set of signaling links between an Originating Point Code (OPC) on the Signaling Gateway and an adjacent Destination Point Code (DPC). When specifying a link set the user can specify the MTP type and point code size (SS7MD), the SS7 Network Identifier (NI) and the logical network (NC) it belongs in. Link sets are managed using the C7LSx commands.
PAGE 138
Chapter 7 Configuration Overview 7.2.2 High Speed Signaling Links Configuration The Signaling Gateway supports HSL in accordance with ITU Q.703 Annex A. Two HSL links are configurable on a Dialogic® DSI SS7HDP Network Interface Board using processor (EQU) values of x-1 or x-33 (x is the board position). The timeslot on the C7SLx TS parameter must be set to 0 for a HSL link, that is the timeslot for a HSL link must be set to x-y-0 (x is the board position, y is the PCM value).
PAGE 139
Dialogic® DSI Signaling Server SGW Mode User Manual Issue 5 7.2.4 M3UA Configuration The Signaling Gateway employs M3UA to “backhaul” SS7 information to an SS7 resident application. The Signaling Gateway uses the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) to provide a reliable transport protocol operating on top of IP. The relationship between the SCTP node on the Signaling Gateway and a peer node is known as an “association”.
PAGE 140
Chapter 7 Configuration Overview Figure 8 demonstrates a Signaling Gateway communicating over SIGTRAN links with two ASPs. ASP 1 is running two AS instances, AS1 processes CICs 1 to 128 in PC 2, and AS2 processes CICs 129 to 256 also in PC 2. ASP 2 is also running two AS instances, AS3 processes CICs 1 to 128 in PC 3 and AS2 processes CICs 129 to 256 also in PC 2. Note that AS2 is running on ASP1 and ASP2.

Chapter 9 Remote Data Center Operation 9.5.3 Periodic Reports Periodic reports, once created, are periodically transferred to the RDC. The user can configure the transfer interval ranging from five minutes to 24 hours. Each report type should be collected in a different directory. A file is created on the RDC during the first transfer for each report type during any 24 hour period beginning at midnight. Filenames are unique, identifying the date of transfer in the form YYYYMMDD.

Dialogic® DSI Signaling Server SGW Mode User Manual Issue 5 Chapter 11: Worked Configuration Examples 11.1 Backhaul Configuration The following is an example of a Signaling Gateway working in a “backhaul” configuration. The Signaling Gateway is connected to a single Signaling End Point (SEP) on the TDM side. On the IP side there is a single Remote Application Server (RAS) that processes circuit-related messages. The RAS exists on two ASPs for resilience.

Chapter 11 Worked Configuration Examples 11.2 M2PA Longhaul Configuration The following is an example of a Signaling Gateway offering the longhaul of SS7 signaling over M2PA. The Signaling Gateway is connected to a Signaling End Point (SEP) on the TDM side and an SEP on the IP side. Each SEP treats the Signaling Gateway as an STP to reach its destination SEP. On the TDM side, board 1 is used to terminate two SS7 E1 PCMs with clock being taken from SEP 1.

Dialogic® DSI Signaling Server SGW Mode User Manual Issue 5 Glossary ASP Application Server Process. A process instance of an Remote Application Server (RAS). An ASP serves as an active or backup process of an Application Server (for example, part of a distributed virtual switch or database). Examples of ASPs are processes (or process instances) of MGCs, IP SCPs or IP HLRs. An ASP contains an SCTP endpoint and may be configured to process signaling traffic within more than one Application Server.
