SS7 PQ Card - See Model Numbers
The SS7 PQ card provides Signaling System 7 services for the CSP fully integrating switching and advanced signaling applications. The SS7 PQ card enables the CSP to act as a Signaling Point (SP) in the SS7 network architecture. The SS7 PQ card is available in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16-link versions.
The SS7 PQ is a Power QUICC-based SS7 controller card.
You achieve redundancy by installing, connecting and configuring a pair of SS7 PQ cards. See the API Developer’s Guide: Common Channel Signaling for information about SS7 software configuration. See also the "CCS I/O Redundancy Cable Installation" in the Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Each CSP 2090, CSP 2110 or CSP 2040 chassis can accommodate SS7 PQ cards which reside in the front slots.
The part number, serial number, model number, and revision are located on the back of the board.
The SS7 PQ card is designed to the following electrical, physical and environmental specifications.
