Overview
This section introduces the following three standard M3UA configurations:
• Standalone Configuration - One SS7 Card
• Redundant Configuration- two Application Servers and two Application Server Processes
• Full Configuration - four Application Servers
The standalone configuration typically uses one SS7 card. The following figure includes two Application Servers, one Signaling Gateway and one Signaling Gateway Process but you can configure the following:
• Up to four Application Servers
• Up to 10 Signaling Gateways each with one or two Signaling Gateways
• Up to 64 Route Sets
Figure 15-5 Standalone Configuration - One SS7 Card
A redundant configuration typically uses two SS7 cards in redundant mode. The figure below includes two Application Servers and one Signaling Gateway with two Signaling Gateway Processes. You can configure the following:
• Up to four Application Servers
• Up to 10 Signaling Gateways each with one or two Signaling Gateways
• Up to 64 Route Sets
Figure 15-6 Standard Configuration Redundancy
The full configuration typically uses two SS7 cards in a redundant mode with the maximum number of objects of all types configured.
The following figure contains four Application Servers, 19 Signaling Gateway Processes, 10 Signaling Gateways, and 64 Point Codes.
