Deleting a Transport

Use this task to delete a configured Transport.

Deleting a Transport removes the Transport from the configuration.

A Transport cannot be deleted unless:

• It is in the Disabled Administrative State. To disable the Transport, see Disabling a Transport.
• It is not referenced by any Link. Refer to "Links" in the SS7/Sigtran User's Guide and Help.

1. Select Transport Manager > Configuration > Transport.
2. Select the Transport you want to remove.
3. Click Delete.
   A delete confirmation message appears.

   If the Transport is not in the Disabled Admin State, the following message appears:

   "The transport state reported by the MP server is not Disabled. Please disable the transport from Main Menu: Transport Manager > Maintenance > Transport before deleting the transport. Deletion of a transport that is not disabled may result in loss of signaling data. If you wish to force deletion of the transport even though the transport may not be disabled, click OK, otherwise click Cancel."

   If the Transport Admin State could not be determined, the following message appears:

   "The Transport state on the MP server could not be determined. Please refer to Main Menu: Status & Manage > Servers for the cause of the problem. Deletion of a transport that is not disabled may result in loss of signaling data. If you wish to force deletion of the transport even though the transport may not be disabled, click OK, otherwise click Cancel."

4. Click OK to confirm the deletion, or Cancel to stop the delete.
   When OK is clicked and the selected Transport no longer exists (has been deleted by another user), an error message appears.

The Transport is deleted from the list.
