Note

The following section is only applicable to the DSC 8000, the DSC SWe (on MA-RMS), the Signaling Platform 2000 (SP2000), and the virtual SP2000 (on MA-RMS).

Before you create and provision an Annex A Signaling Channel, make sure that the T1/E1/J1 interface (port) is set to one of the following:

  • T1_D4 - configurable for 24 TDM channels at 1.5 Mbp/s with no cyclic redundancy (CRC) error check

  • T1_ESF - configurable for 24 TDM channels at 1.5 Mbp/s with cyclic redundancy (CRC) error check

  • E1 - configurable for 31 TDM channels at 2.0 Mbp/s with no CRC error check

  • E1_CRC4 - configurable for 31 TDM channels at 2.0 Mbp/s with CRC error check

  • J1 - configurable for 24 TDM channels at 1.5 Mbp/s with cyclic redundancy (CRC) error check

For more information about configuring the T1/E1/J1 interface, refer to Configuring IO Cards and the SS7 Interfaces.

Caution

Make sure that the local and remote SS7 port is set to the same T1/E1/J1 interface type. Otherwise, the system does not function as expected.

After you created and configured the Annex A Signaling Channel, you can provision the Annex A links at MTP3 (refer to Configuring Annex A Links).

Creating an HSL Annex A Signaling Channel

Before you create HSL Annex A Signaling Channel, make sure that you selected the link combinations you want to have on your system (refer to Configuring Link Capabilities for I/O Cards ).

To create an HSL Annex A Signaling Channel

  1. Log onto the WebUI.

  2. Click Hardware.
         
  3. Click the required I/O card on the Hardware image.

  4. Click the required I/O card.
         

  5. Click LICENSED in the HSL AnnexA Selection screen.


     

  6. Click Create.


     

  7. Enter the channel number.

  8. Click Create.

Configuring an HSL Annex A Signaling Channel

After creating an Annex A Signaling Channel (see the preceding procedure),you must map this channel to a port on the I/O card.

The baud rate for the HSL Annex A Signaling Channel is automatically determined when you define whether the channel has a T1 or E1 interface. The T1_D4 and T1 ESF interfaces have a 1.5 Mbp/s baud rate and the E1 and E_CRC4 interfaces have a 2.0 Mbp/s baud rate.

To configure an HSL Annex A Signaling Channel

  1. Login to the WebUI.
       
  2. Click Hardware.
       
  3. Click the I/O card on the Hardware image.

  4. Click the required I/O card.

  5. Click LICENSED in HSL AnnexA Screen.

  6. Click the required HSL Annex A Channel.

                    
  7. Configure the attributes.

  8. Click Continue.

After you completed provisioning the HSL Annex A Signaling Channel, configure the required Annex A links (refer to Configuring Annex A Links).

Viewing Annex A Channel Logging

Logging attributes for HSL Annex A Signaling Channels and links are configured at MTP3 (refer to Configuring Annex A Links). However, you may view the logging setup for the HSL Annex A Signaling Channel using MTP2.

To view HSL Annex A Signaling Channel logging

  1. Login to the WebUI.
       
  2. Click Hardware.
      
  3. Click the I/O card on the Hardware image.

  4. Click the required I/O card.
       
  5. Click LICENSED in HSL AnnexA Selection Screen.

  6. Click the required HSL Annex A Link.

  7. Click HSL AnnexA Channel Logging.
