Local Signaling Points

A Signaling Point is a set of signaling equipment represented by a unique point code within an SS7 domain (for example, ANSI, ITU-I, ITU-N, and ITU-N 24-bit Point Code). A Local Signaling Point (LSP) is a logical element representing an SS7 Signaling Point assigned to an MP Server Group.

A Point Code is a unique MTP3 (Message Transfer Part 3) address in a SS7 network. An LSP is uniquely identified by a point code and an SS7 domain.

The LSP assigns the SS7 identity to the MP Server Group. An LSP has an SS7 domain (ANSI, ITU-I, ITU-N, and ITU-N 24-bit Point Code) and a true point code. The LSP may optionally be assigned up to two CPCs (Capability Point Codes), which are point codes that can be shared with other LSPs. The LSP assigns a Server Group that hosts the point code.

The list of configured LSPs on the SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Local Signaling Points page contains a row for every point code that represents an MP Server Group.

On the SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Local Signaling Points 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 Local Signaling Point and SS7 Domain by clicking the column heading.
• Click Insert.

  You can add a new Local Signaling Point and its values. See Inserting a Local Signaling Point.

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

• Select the Local Signaling Point from the list and click Edit.

  You can edit the selected Local Signaling Points. See Editing a Local Signaling Point.

• Select the Local Signaling Point from the list and click Delete to remove the selected Server Group. See Deleting a Local Signaling Point.
• Select the Local Signaling Point from the list and click Report to generate a report of the configured Local Signaling Point. See Generating a Report on Local Signaling Points.
