Adjacent Server Groups

An Adjacent Server Group is a collection of Adjacent Servers that implements a distributed IP signaling function. The group represents a set of Adjacent Nodes that share a Point Code on the Signaling Gateway.

Note:

Adjacent Servers are configured as Adjacent Nodes on the Transport Manager > Configuration > Adjacent Node pages.

An adjacent Remote Signaling Point (RSP) is associated with one Adjacent Server Group.

On the Adjacent Server Groups page, Adjacent Servers can be grouped that belong to the same Signaling Gateway. For example, an Adjacent Server Group can refer to a Signaling Network Element with which this application is associated.

On the SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Adjacent Server Groups page, you can perform the following actions:

• The Filter allows the user to only display the row(s) that match specified criteria using the list that contains the field names. The right list contains all the matching operators (=, !=, >, >=, <, <=, Like and Is Null). The text box is the value selector used to enter the matching value. Click GO to enable the filter. The RESET button resets the filter.
• Sort the list entries in ascending or descending order by Signaling Network Element Name, Adjacent Server Group Identifier, and Adjacent Server Group Member(s) by clicking the column heading.
• Click Insert.

  You can add a new Adjacent Server Group and its values. See Inserting an Adjacent Server Group.

  If the maximum number of Adjacent Server Groups already exists in the system, the SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Adjacent Server Groups [Insert] page displays an error message.

• Select the Adjacent Server Group from the list and click Edit. You can edit the selected Adjacent Server Groups. See Editing an Adjacent Server Group.
• Select the Adjacent Server Group from the list and click Delete to remove the selected Adjacent Server Group Member(s). See Deleting an Adjacent Server Group.
