Creating the TUP configuration

SS7 provides sample TUP files for both ITU-T and China configurations that you can modify for your specifications. To learn the location of the sample configuration files, refer to Sample SS7 TDM configurations.

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

Sample TUP configuration file

The following example configures board 1 for ITU-T:
