Downloading to the boards

After modifying the configuration files and starting txalarm, download the configurations to the TX boards using ss7load. ss7load is located in the following directories:

Operating system

Directory

Windows

\Program Files\dialogic\tx\bin\ss7load.bat

UNIX

/opt/dialogic/tx/bin/ss7load


ss7load contains commands to download and configure all the SS7 layers, but only the MTP layer is activated by default. To enable the optional SS7 layers, edit ss7load to remove the comment symbols from the desired layers. To choose SIGTRAN instead of MTP as the transport layer, change TXTRANSPORT=mtp to TXTRANSPORT=sigtran. You can also modify the script to change the file names, the path names, or both as you modify the sample configuration files to meet your system needs.

Note: Superuser permissions are required to edit ss7load on UNIX systems.

Run ss7load according to the following syntax:

ss7load board number

where board number specifies the board to which you are downloading configurations.

The following examples show the output of ss7load. User input is shown in bold type.
