Creating Routes

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.
  1. Select SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Routes.

    The SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Routes page appears.

  2. Click Insert .

    TheSS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Routes [Insert] page appears.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Select the Link Set for this Route from the Link Set pulldown menu.

    Selecting a Link Set automatically populates the Adjacent Point Code field.

  6. 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.

  7. Click OK to save the Route and exit this page.
  8. Repeat this process as necessary to create additional Links.

The Routes are created.
