M3UA Software Configuration

Overview

This section describes how to configure the M3UA software and then bring it into service.

The configuration procedures are presented in the order that you must complete them.

Dependencies

The figure below shows the dependencies of the M3UA objects which determines the sequence of configuration steps. This sequence is further explained in the Overview of Configuration (1-12).

Figure 15-3 Dependencies between M3UA Objects

How to interpret this Figure

The object at the tail of the arrow depends on the object at the head of it. You cannot add an object before all of the objects that it depends on exist in the system.

You cannot remove an object before all of the objects depending on it are no longer configured in the system.

For example, Object Z depends on Object A. So Object A must exist in the system before you can add Object Z. If you need to remove these objects, you must remove Object Z before you remove Object A.

The objects contain the following information:

• Application Servers contain a list of Application Server Processes that the Application Server uses. Application Servers also contain a list of Signaling Gateways that the Application Server is communicating with.

• Signaling Gateways contain a list of Signaling Gateway Processes that the Signaling Gateway is using.

• The connection object points to the Application Server Process and Signaling Gateway Process that the connection object is connecting.
