About resetting the subsystem and point code status

The Reset action enables the network operator to reset the MP's SCCP view of the SSN status to allowed and the point code status to available.

Reset should be used only if the network operator suspects that an SSA or MTP-Resume management message may have been lost, resulting in the MP Server having a stale view of the true network status. If Reset is used and the network status was correct (was really Unavailable), then response method signaling sets the network status back to the correct value.

Reset can also be used to reset the MP's view of the point code's congestion status. In other words, Reset makes the MP Server SCCP think the point code is no longer congested. Again, if the point code really is congested, response method signaling may set it back to Congested. Reset has no effect on an RMU for which both SSN Reason and PC Reason are Normal.
