Routes represents a signaling path from a local signaling points to a remote signaling point codes using a given link set. Routes are needed for adjacent remote signaling points to route network management signaling. You can only perform this task when logged into an SOAM.
- Select .
The SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Routes page appears.
- Click Insert .
TheSS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Routes [Insert] page appears.
- Enter a unique name in the Route Name field.
The Route Name must start with a letter and can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Underscores are also allowed.
- Select the Remote Signaling Point that identifies the destination of this Route from the Remote Signaling Point pulldown menu.
Selecting a Remote Signaling Point automatically populates the Remote Point Code field.
- Select the Link Set for this Route from the Link Set pulldown menu.
Selecting a Link Set automatically populates the Adjacent Point Code field.
- Enter a relative cost in the Relative Cost field.
The cost can be set between 0 and 99. The application attempts to route signaling over the routes that have the lowest cost. If two routes have the same cost, signaling is load-shared across both routes.
- Click OK to save the Route and exit this page.
- Repeat this process as necessary to create additional Links.
