Prerequisites
Before configuration can begin you must acquire the Originating Point Code (OPC) and Adjacent Point Code (APC) for the stack being configured. Once these Point Codes have been acquired the configuration can begin.
In order to create links and CIC's the IMG must have spans configured on it. Assign and configure spans on the IMG.
...
See the Topics Below on how to configure Spans on the IMG

Procedure
Creating an SS7 Signaling Entry
Create an SS7 signaling entry under the Physical IMG object. Right-click on the Physical IMG object and select New Signaling. A Signaling object will get created. Commit the current object.
Right-click on the Signaling object created and select New SS7. An SS7 Standalone object will get created. Commit the current object.
The Redundancy Configuration Field in this object is defaulted to Standalone.
If not configuring redundant SS7 nodes leave the Redundancy Configuration field at Standalone. The Peer Logical Node ID field does not apply in this situation.
If you are configuring redundant SS7 nodes set the Redundancy Configuration field to Primary and in the Peer Logical Node ID field select the Secondary SS7 node. If you are configuring redundant SS7 nodes see the IMG 1010 - Configuring SS7 Redundancy - 10.5.0 topic for more information before moving to "Configuring SS7 Signaling Stacks" below.
...
Under the SS7 Standalone object is where the SS7 signaling stack objects will be created. Right-click the SS7 Standalone object and select New SS7.
The SS7 Stack object will appear.
The Stack ID field is automatically populated with the next available number (0-3).
...
Information on the individual fields in the SS7 Stack 0 pane are explained in the IMG 1010 - SS7 Stack document.
Configuring multiple signaling stacks allows the IMG to interface with multiple SS7 networks. Signaling stacks are automatically assigned to SS7 objects (links, link sets, routes) as each object is configured.
...
Right-click the desired SS7 Stack entry and select New Link Set. The SS7 Link Set pane appears
The Link Set ID field is automatically populated with the next available number.
In the APC (Adjacent Point Code) field, enter the point code of the adjacent node to which this link set will be connected.
...
For more information on the individual fields of the link set pane see the IMG 1010 - SS7 Link Set topic
Configuring SS7 Signaling Links
...
Right-click the desired SS7 Link Set and select New SS7 Link. The SS7 Link pane appears
The Primary/Secondary field is set to Primary by default. If this is a redundant IMG and you are configuring links on a secondary IMG for redundancy, select Secondary from the drop down menu
The Link ID field is automatically populated with the next available number.
...
The signaling link will need to be configured on a Span/Channel. The Interface - Offset field drop-down menu will include all spans configured on the IMG. By default the first available span is displayed. Select which span to configure the signaling link on
The Channel field has a drop down menu with all available channels on that Interface - Offset. Select a channel.
For more information on the individual fields in the SS7 Link pane see the IMG 1010 - SS7 Link topic
Configure Signaling Routes
...
Right-click SS7 Stack and select New SS7 Route.
The SS7 Route pane appears.
The Route ID field is automatically populated with the next available number. A drop down menu will allow Route ID's from 0 to 511.
The Route Type field is automatically populated with New Route. This field has a drop down menu with other selections for when configuring combined link sets. Use the default if not configuring combined link sets.
In the New DPC field, enter the DPC for this network.
For ITU, the point codes range from 0-0-0 to 7-255-7.
For ANSI, the point codes range from 0-0-0 to 255-255-255.
The Existing DPC field is automatically populated with the same value as you entered in the New DPC field unless combined Link Sets are being configured. If combined link sets are being configured then the option of entering a DPC is allowed.
In the Priority field, select the priority to assign to the route when there are multiple routes to the same destination (valid range:0-35).
Use the Comments field to enter a meaningful name to identify the route.
