Introduction

The articles in this page are geared to describe the setup and configuration of SIGTRAN protocol on a Tdev system consisting of TMP6400 devices and TMS1600 switches, or a Tmedia TMG3200 system using the Web Portal component of Toolpack. If you require other Web Portal information refer to Web Portal Tutorial Guide v2.3.

Please note that most of the information panels of the Web Portal provide you with configuration and status information. All the Web Portal articles of this page are designed to show you how to configure your Tmedia or Tdev system; therefore, they do not describe how to navigate and interpret system status. To learn about system status information, refer to Interpreting Status Menus.

Finally, it is recommended that you follow the order of the tasks listed on this page to successfully configure a Tmedia or Tdev system, particularly if you want to configure signaling stacks or line interfaces.

Before you begin

This article assumes that the Tmedia or Tdev devices are installed as described in their Quick Reference Guides and that communication has been established with the control network.

(Note: The TMG3200 is shipped with the Tmedia Web Portal preinstalled, while the TMP6400 requires that Toolpack be installed as described in the TMP6400 Installation Guide.)

Furthermore, in the case of the TMP6400 and the initial configuration of the Toolpack application server, the following will have been provided:

  • The TMP6400 to which the Web Portal will first connect.
  • The TMP6400 will have been pre-configured with its physical TDM interface.
  • The serial number of the TMP6400 will have been entered into the configuration file.
  • The application software for the TMP6400 devices will have been pre-installed on the Toolpack application server, as described in the TMP6400 Installation Guide.

This article also assumes familiarity with topics, such as ISDN signaling, SIP signaling, and SS7 signaling.

Key concepts

  • System: A system is defined as the complete solution that is designed for a network. If a system solution is comprised of 4 TMP6400’s and a TMS1600, then the combination of these TelcoBridges devices is termed a system.
  • Hardware: The TMP6400, TMG3200, or TMS1600 are referred to as a hardware device or hardware adapter.
  • Line Interface: The physical TDM module installed on the TelcoBridges device is referred to as a line interface.


SIGTRAN Configuration Scenarios

Toolpack version 2.4 enables you to configure SIGTRAN and extend SS7 signalling functionality to the IP network. Toolpack enables you to configure a number of SIGTRAN configurations based upon your application. They applications are listed below as follows:

  • M2PA system: In this configuration the SS7 network extends between two signalling gateways.
  • M2UA system on a signalling gateway: In this configuration...
  • M2UA system on a media gateway controller: In this configuration...
  • M3UA on an IP signalling point: In this configuration...
  • M3UA on a signalling gatweway: In this configuration...
  • M3UA on an application server: In this configuration...


A walkthrough configuration is provided for each SIGTRAN scenario, in the table below, to illustrate the order that must be followed when configuring SIGTRAN.
