EXS API and SwitchKit API message

Description

SS7 Signaling Stack Configure 0x005C

Use this message to define a signaling stack, which includes assigning an OPC and a variant. You can also use this message to deconfigure a signaling stack.

NOTE: PCM encoding for CICs controlled by the signaling stack is defaulted based on the network signaling variant. ANSI stacks default to u-law regardless of the physical link type. ITU stacks default to A-law. To change the encoding format see the PCM Encoding Format message.

8 :	AIB Address Method 0x00 - Individual AEs	8, 9	Status (MSB, LSB) The meaning of these fields depends upon the value of the Entity field in the message. Product License Data The following value can be received: 0x007F Software module still locked. This value is returned when attempting to configure a locked module for which no product license key has been downloaded.

:	OPC (four bytes) The address assigned to the CSP by the network. Every point code in the API messages will always be 4 bytes long, with the first byte (MSB) as zero. See the SS7 section of the API Developer's Guide: CCS for an explanation of how to convert the 4 bytes into ITU and ANSI point codes. 0x00000000–0x00FFFFFF: The OPC must be in this range for signaling stacks using 24-bit point codes, for example ANSI. 0x00000000–0x00003FFF: The OPC must be in this range for signaling stacks using 14-bit point codes, for example ITU. If using the BT IUP protocol, the maximum range for OPC is 14 bits. 0xFFFFFFFF: This value indicates deconfiguration of the specified signaling stack. All link sets, links, destinations, and routes previously configured to this signaling stack must be deconfigured before you deconfigure the signaling stack.
13	Number of Modules (n)
11	Module 1: Type 0x01 MTP (Message Transfer Part) Required for any SS7 configuration or for BT IUP 0x02 ISUP (ISDN User Part) Required if you are using the ISUP Call Control User Part 0x03 L3P (Layer 3 Plus) Required for any SS7 configuration 0x04 TUP (Telephone User Part) Required if you are using the TUP Call Control User Part 0x05 L3P TUP/BT IUP (Layer 3 Plus for Telephone User Part/BT IUP) Required if you are using the TUP or BT IUP Call Control User Part 0x06 SCCP 0x07 TCAP 0x08 M3UA When using BT IUP, you must configure MTP. For example, if you are configuring the ISUP Call Control User Part, then you would send this message with three sets of module Type and Variant fields: MTP, L3P, and ISUP. When using the BT IUP variant, the Module Variant is 0x02. You must also configure module types 0x01and 0x03. For example, in an E1 configuration, you would specify Module Type 0x01 with a variant of 0x01, Module 3 with a variant of 0x01, Module 4 with a variant of 0x02, and Module 5 with a variant of 0x02.
