This article applies to: Product Version
Tmedia 2.9, 2.10, 3.0, 3.2

After you create an M2PA service access point (SAP), you must create a new M2PA link. This is done from the M2PA SAP configuration window.

To create an M2PA link:

1- Click M2PA in the navigation panel:

4- Configure the new link:

  • Enter a name for the link
  • Select a protocol type:
  • Set other features, as needed:
    • Destination port (same value as the one configured on the destination side)
    • Number of SCTP Streams
  • Click Create

6- Verify that the address has been added to the list, and that the "(your address) was successfully added" message appears (ex.: here the address is 190.0.0.0)
