Once the physical connection object and logical application server are configured, you bring them into service. You must perform the procedures in the order presented in this section.

Bringing the Physical Connection In Service

Use the NGA Service Configure (0x0160) to bring the connection identified by Object ID into service. Bringing the connection into service also brings the connected Application Server Process and Signaling Gateway Process in service.
