SS7 CIC Configure 0x006A

SwitchKit Name

SS7CICConfig

Type

EXS API and SwitchKit API message

Description

This message allows the host to define an association between channels on logical spans and SS7 CICs. CICs in a CIC group must be on the same span and in contiguous timeslots. You can also use this message to deconfigure CIC group.

You must use this message for one CIC group at a time. You cannot use this message on multiple CIC groups.

To deconfigure a CIC group, use this message but substitute the value 0xFFFFFFFF for the DPC. If the CICs are in-service, the host receives DS0 status messages for the CICs with a status of out-of-service.

EXS API Hex Format

CIC Assignment over E1

For CIC assignments over E1, the base channel refers to the Excel channel shown in the table below. The number of CICs defines the CIC range using the contiguous timeslots as the range. In the example table below there is no signaling link on the span. There is a base CIC of 0x00 and 31 CICs that can be configured as one group. If there is a signaling link on the span on a timeslot other than timeslot 1 (Excel channel 0x00) then the CIC configure has to be split in two groups.

Note that this table is an example and reflects one way to assign CICs over E1.

Call Control User Part

Japanese ISUP CIC Mapping Options

If you select ISUP/Japanese ISUP CIC Mapping (0x02), you must map CICs according to one of the following three options:

• Full span

• Last channel not used as CIC

• First channel not used as CIC

The values of the channels based for each option above are shown in the table below.

Response Data

The meaning of these fields depends upon the value of the Entity field in the message. The following value can be received:

0x7F Software module still locked.
This value is returned when attempting to configure a locked module for which no product license has been downloaded.

0xFD Node ID Not Configured

This response is a result of an SS7 server node configuration. Assignment of spans failed because node is not yet assigned. When sending the SS7 CIC Configure message (0x006A) over the EXNET ring, this response value indicates the Ethernet connection is not available to the SS7 I/O card and you should check the connection.
