Adjacent Node

An Adjacent Node is a Server acting as a signaling peer on a network. An Adjacent Node connects to one or more MP (message processing) Servers using reliable IP transport sessions, such as SCTP associations. In short, the Adjacent Node represents the far-end of an SCTP association. (There must be a connection from every MP to every Adjacent Node.)

Note: In SS7/Sigtran, an Adjacent Node is referred to as an Adjacent Server, which can be assigned as a member of an Adjacent Server Group.

The Transport Manager > Configuration > Adjacent Node page lists all Servers configured for direct connection to this SS7 node. An Adjacent Node is associated with the IP address on which the Adjacent Node will listen for M3UA signaling.

On the Transport Manager > Configuration > Adjacent Node page, you can perform the following actions:

Filter the list of Adjacent Nodes, to display only the desired Adjacent Nodes.
Sort the list by a column in ascending or descending order, by clicking the column heading
Click Insert.
The Transport Manager > Configuration > Adjacent Node [Insert] page appears. You can add a new Adjacent Node.
Select an Adjacent Node in the list, and click Delete. You can delete the selected Adjacent Node.
Note: An Adjacent Node that is referenced by an Adjacent Server Group cannot be deleted from the list until it is removed form the Adjacent Server Group. Refer to the "Editing an Adjacent Server Group" procedure in the SS7/Sigtran User's Guide and Help.
Prevent the page from automatically refreshing by clicking the Pause updates check box.
