| Element (* indicates required field) | Description | Data Input Notes |
|---|---|---|
| * Signaling Network Element Name | Identifies the Signaling Network Element to which the Link Set is being added. | View-only |
| * Link Set Name | A name that uniquely identifies this Link Set. The Link Set name is case-sensitive. |
Format: Text box; valid characters are alphanumeric and underscore (_). Must contain at least one alpha and must not start with a digit. Range: A 32-character string. |
| * Mode | Defines the desired relationship between the local and remote peer for this Link Set. The mode specifies whether the Message Processor implements client or server procedures for session management. One mode is supported: AS (Application Server) to SG (Signaling Gateway). The local side is the client; the remote side is the server. The local side has LMU and LSP; the remote side has RSP and optionally RMU. |
Format: Pulldown list Range: Select AS->SG if the local side of the connection is an Application Server and the remote side is a Signaling Gateway. Default: AS->AG |
| * Local Signaling Point | Specifies the LSP served by this Link Set. Each Local Signaling Point entry is a hyperlink to the Local Signaling Point table filtered by this LSP. |
Format: Pulldown list Range: All configured LSPs. |
| SS7 Domain | The SS7 domain of the selected Local Signaling Point. | Format: This is a display-only field populated when a Local Signaling Point is selected. |
| * LSP Point Code | The point code of the selected Local Signaling Point to be served by this Link Set. A selection of All means that the Link Set will accept signaling destined for the selected Local Signaling Point's True Point Code or Capability Point Code, if one is assigned. |
Format: Pulldown list Range: All Default: All |
| * Adjacent Remote Point Code | The point code of the Adjacent Remote Signaling Point representing the Adjacent Signaling Gateway to be served by this Link Set. Each entry is a hyperlink to the Remote Signaling Point table filtered by this Adjacent Remote Point Code. |
Format: Pulldown list Range: The list is based on the domain of the selected Local Signaling Point. |
| Assign Routing Context (appears on Insert Link Set page only) | Indicates whether a Routing Context applies to this Link Set. A Routing Context must be specified if links from this Link Set will share an Association with links from at least one other Link Set. |
Format: Pulldown list Range: Yes, No Select Yes if a Routing Context Applies. If you select No, the Routing Context field is cleared and disabled. Default: No |
| Routing Context | Message parameter used to uniquely identify the application context. This value is used only if Assign Routing Context is set to Yes. This Routing Context must be configured to match the Routing Context value configured for this Link Set at the Signaling Gateway. |
Format: Text box; numeric Range: 32-bit unsigned Default: First unused integer value greater than zero. |
