5.1.4 Remote Signaling Point

A Remote Signaling Point represents an SS7 network node (point code) with which a VSTP Local Node (/vstp/localhosts) communicates. A Remote Signaling Point resource encapsulates the characteristics required to route the signaling to the Remote Host (/vstp/remotehosts).

Select the VSTP, and then Configuration, and then Remote Signaling Points page. The page displays the elements on the Remote Signaling Points View, Insert, and Edit pages.

Note:

Data Input Notes apply to the Insert and Edit pages only; the View page is read-only.

This is a mandatory field.

Format: Input text box

Range = 1024 - 65535 characters

Domain Type This defines the type of SS7 domain.

This is a mandatory field.

Format: Drop down menu

Range = Ansi, Itui, Itun, Itun24, Itun_s, Itui_s

Group Code The ITUN group code for duplicate point code feature.

This is an optional field.

Format: Input Text Box

Range = aa, zz

Default Value: aa
Alias Point Code 1 Alias Point Code1.

Alias Point 1 Group Code This defines ITUN group code for duplicate point code feature.  
Alias Point Code 1 Domain This defines the type of Alias Point Code1 domain.

Format: Drop down menu

Range = Ansi, Itui, Itun, Itun24, Itun_s, Itui_s

Alias Point Code 2 Domain Alias Point Code 2 Domain  
Broadcast Exception Indicator When set to true, the VSTP does not broadcast TFP/TFA to the adjacent node whenever the Linksets (/vstp/linksets) status is changed. Typical value is false.
Release Cause Release cause. The condition that triggers the sending of a Release message. If the rlcopc parameter is specified and a value of 0-127 is specified for the rcause parameter, then the rcause parameter value overrides the values specified for the TIFOPTS rcausenp and rcausepfx parameters. Default='None'

Range=0-127
Split IAM This parameter specifies when and how to split an ITU IAM message into 1 IAM message + 1 SAM message. This parameter applies only to ITU IAM messages. Default='None' Range=15-31
NM bits reset NM bits reset. This parameter specifies whether the NM bits should be set to 00. Default='Off'

Range=Off, On
