IMG 1010 - Variant Entry

 

 

Description:

The Variant Entry pane is used to customize an SS7 or CAS signaling variants. When configuring a Signaling Variant, the following happens:

When a new variant is created; the user can then configure an SS7 stack based on that variant. The appropriate messages will be sent to the physical IMG at the appropriate time in the configuration automatically.

For example: An SS7 variant is created and under that variant the SS7 Route components are modified. The routing modifications are sent to the Physical IMG so when an SS7 route is configured under the SS7 stack just created and modified, the routing components will use specifications/routing based on the created variant.

Once a custom variant is assigned to an SS7 stack or CAS Channel Group it cannot modified or deleted. To modify an existing entry in the variant, the entry must be first deleted and re-added

Accessing this Pane:

Dialogic IMG EMS -> Signaling Variants -> Signaling Variant -> Variant Entry

Field Descriptions (CAS):

ClientView Default Pane:

Base Variant:

The Base Variant field indicates the base variant to be used. This field will be automatically populated based on the 'Base Variant' and 'Variant Type' fields that were initially configured in the 'Signaling Variant' object pane.

PPL Component ID:

The PPL component to be configured. This drop down menu will be different for each Variant. (CAS, SS7, SIP-T)

0x01 E1 PPL Component- Automatically populated if system is configured as E1.

0x03 T1 PPL Component- Automatically populated if system is configured as T1.

PPL Entity Type:

The PPL Entity is selected from drop down menu. Below are the selections:

PPL Tables

PPL Timers (10ms increments)

PPL Config Bytes

PPL Entity ID:

The PPL table Entity ID is set by the Variant ID. Each Variant has a different set of ID's. See Below

If the PPL Entity is PPL Tables the ID = 2

If the PPL Entity is PPL Timers the ID = 0-255

If the PPL Entity is PPL Config Bytes the ID = 1-1000

PPL Entity Value:

If the PPL Entity Type is PPL Tables, field is "Not Used"

If the PPL Entity Type is PPL Timers the ID = 0-255 and the PPL Value field becomes PPL Timer Value. 0-65535 (0 to 655 sec)

If the PPL Entity Type is PPL Config Bytes the ID = 1-1000

PPL Entity File:

The PPL Entity File field is used to select the .cfg file which contains the PPL configuration messages to download for that component. This field is available when the PPL Entity type selected is PPL Tables or when the PPL Component ID is 0xFF – Generic File. All the .cfg files should loaded into the following directory on the GCEMS server:

/opt/dialogic/IMG/config/Variant/”VariantName” (Software 10.5.1 +)

/opt/cantata/IMG/config/Variant/”VariantName” (Software 10.3.3 to 10.5.0)

0xff Generic File

PPL Entity Type:

The PPL Entity is selected from drop down menu. Below are the selections:

PPL Tables

PPL Timers (10ms increments)

PPL Config Bytes

 

When the Component ID is 0xFF (Generic File) the PPL Entity Type field manages where and when in the configuration file being sent that the Variant Entry information is sent to the node. The choices for the PPL Entity Type field are:

Stack

Link

Route

Destination

E1

T1

PPL Entity ID:

The PPL table Entity ID is set by the Variant ID. Each Variant has a different set of ID's. See Below

If the PPL Entity is PPL Tables the ID = The ID of the signaling variant. 1-10

If the PPL Entity is PPL Timers the ID = 0-255 and the PPL Value field is PPL Timer Value. 0-65535 (0 to 655.35 sec)

If the PPL Entity is PPL ConfigBytes the ID = 1-1000

 

If the Component ID is 0xff Generic File then the Entity ID is "Not Used"

PPL Entity Value:

This field applies to PPL Config Bytes only. The Value for the Config Byte to be configured.

If the PPL Entity is PPL Tables the PPL Entity Value is "Not Used"

If the PPL Entity is PPL Timers the ID = 0-255

If the PPL Entity is PPL ConfigBytes the ID = 1-1000

 

If the Component ID is 0xff Generic File then the Entity Value is "Not Used"

PPL Entity File:

The PPL Entity File field is used to select the .cfg file which contains the PPL configuration messages to download for that component. This field is available when the PPL Entity type selected is PPL Tables or when the PPL Component ID is 0xFF – Generic File. All the .cfg files should loaded into the following directory on the GCEMS server:
