Creating the TCAP configuration

SS7 provides sample TCAP files for ANSI standalone and redundant configurations and ITU standalone and redundant configurations that you can modify for your specifications. To learn the location of the sample configuration files, refer to the Sample SS7 TDM configurations.

The tcapcfg configuration utility runs as part of the initial board configuration with ss7load. tcapcfg reads the text configuration file and downloads the specified configuration to the TCAP task on the TX board. tcapcfg can also be run after initial configuration to dynamically update some configuration parameters. For more information on running tcapcfg after initial download, refer to the Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ TCAP Layer Developer's Reference Manual.

Note: Most configurable parameters default to reasonable values if not specified.
