IMG 1010 - Configuring Control of Remote CICs
You can configure an IMG with SS7 Links to control CICs on other nodes in the same Logical IMG.
This procedure assumes you are not configuring SS7 Signaling Redundancy.
Steps:
Configure an IMG as an SS7 Server node.
Configure SS7 Signaling on the Server Node
Add SS7 Client IMGs
Configuring an IMG as an SS7 Server Node
On the IMG to be the SS7 server, create an SS7 Signaling Entry and configure signaling.
Right-click on the Physical IMG entry and select New Signaling.
Right-click Signaling and select New SS7 Signaling. The SS7 Signaling pane appears.
Automatically Populated Field:
Redundancy Configuration = Standalone. Keep this setting.
Peer Logical Node ID = does not apply.
See the IMG 1010 - SS7 Signaling Object for more details.
Configure Signaling on the Server Node
See IMG 1010 - Configuring SS7 Signaling - 10.5.0
Add SS7 Client IMGs
Any Physical IMG's you add to the same Logical IMG as the Server Node are automatically considered Remote SS7 nodes. SS7 Signaling for their CICs is automatically handled by the SS7 Server node. You do not need to perform any SS7 Signaling configuration on these IMG's.
Right-click the Logical IMG entry select New Physical IMG. The Physical IMG pane appears.
Complete the fields as described in IMG 1010 - Physical IMG.
Configure SS7 CICs on the node.
Repeat steps 1-3 for any other IMG in the Logical IMG.
To view the status of a remote SS7 node, right-click on the Physical IMG entry and select SS7 Remote Node Info.
