    DCOSS SS7

The following are available protocols for the DCOSS system. Within each protocol, the DCOSS user interface allows all protocol parameters, protocol setup parameters as well as call setup parameters to be configured by the user. Thus, a user may completely change the configuration for a given protocol, induce protocol errors or protocol violations, as well as create a completely new configuration for a given protocol. This allows great flexibility within a specified protocol. It should be noted, however, that the protocol configurations delivered with the DCOSS system are certified for a specific network/country and may not be modified. However, the certified configurations may be copied.

Additional Protocol Information

Go to SS7 Page

SS7 is a very flexible, yet complex signaling protocol. Establishing a working link(s) as well as placing simple and complex calls is not always easily accomplished. DCOSS SS7 provides the required flexibility to handle all your SS7 requirements.

Screenshot of SS7 Protocol Parameter Configuration

The DCOSS SS7 may be configured as either an SSP, STP (allows SSP as well as STP operation simultaneously), or SCP. From 4 to 16 SS7 signaling links may be defined by the user per SS7 board. These signaling links may either be user-defined timeslot/trunk associated with any of the DCOSS digital trunks, timeslots associated with the optional SS7 Dual T1/E1 trunk interface, or up to three links with the optional V.35 interface. If either the optional SS7 T1/E1 trunk interface or the optional V.35 interface is used, all other digital trunks associated with DCOSS (up to 16 trunks) will be capable of handling the SS7 voice channels.

Each user-defined SS7 signaling link also has a linkset association. Multiple SS7 signaling links may share a single linkset, thus providing SS7 link redundancy.

SS7 calls are identified using a Circuit Identification Code (CIC). The CIC may be an arbitrary value. DCOSS SS7 allows the user to custom associate a CIC to a timeslot/trunk and thus create a circuit to timeslot mapping table.

In addition to the link parameters and CIC mapping (as described above), all parameters, required for SS7 messages, may be modified within DCOSS.

MFC-R2

The following are all parameters associated with the MFC-R2 protocol. These parameters may be modified and saved, within the DCOSS database, under a user-defined configuration.
