Link Sets

A Link Set represents a logical signaling connection from one Local Point Code (LSP) to one adjacent Remote Point Code of the Adjacent Remote Signaling Point (RSP).

Each site can be configured with up to 96 Link Sets. A Link Set may be assigned up to 16 links.

A Link Set can span Associations. For example, an STP point code can be distributed across multiple Servers. A Link Set cannot span MP Servers because each MP Server has its own point code.

A Link Set is typically configured for each combination of LSPs and adjacent RSPs with these parameters specified:

• The point code (the True Point Code or Capability Point Code) from the LSP that this Link Set serves
• The adjacent RSP
• (Optional) the Routing Context

The SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Link Sets page lists Link Sets for each combination of Local Signaling Point and Adjacent Remote Signaling Point.

On the SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Link Sets 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 next right list ontains 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, Link Set Name, Mode, Local Signaling Point, SS7 Domain, LSP Point Code, Adjacent Remote Point Code, or Routing Context by clicking the column heading.
• Click Insert.

  You can add a new Link Set and its values. See Inserting a Link Set.

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

• Select the Link Set from the list and click Delete to remove the selected Link Set. See Deleting a Link Set.
• Select the Link Set from the list and click Status to view the status of the configured Link Set on the SS7/Sigtran > Configuration > Link Sets page. See Status of a Link Set.
• Select the Link Set from the list and click Report to generate a report of the configured Link Set. See Generating a Report on Link Sets.
