Chapter 7 Configuration Overview
7.1.2 Boards and PCMs
A Signaling Gateway contains a number of SS7 signaling boards located in individual board positions (BPOS).
Signaling boards are managed using the CNBOx commands.
A Dialogic
®
DSI SS7 Network Interface Board can terminate up to two PCM (PCM) trunks for connection to
either a Signaling End Point (SEP) or Signaling Transfer Point (STP). When configuring the PCM, the user can
specify whether it should act as E1 or T1 as well as its frame format (FF) and line code (LC). The
configuration of a PCM also determines whether the port signal is to be used as the external clock
synchronization source of the Signaling Gateway. Each PCM can be assigned a synchronization priority
(SYNCPRI) specifying the priority it has within the Signaling Gateway to receive the external clock for the
system. The PCM in the system with the lowest numbered synchronization priority that is active and in
service provides the clocking source for the Signaling Gateway. If the current PCM providing clock for the
system goes out of service, the PCM with the next highest clock priority that is in service provides clock for
the Signaling Gateway. If a PCM’s synchronization priority is set to 0, that PCM never provides clock for the
system.
PCMs are managed using the CNPCx commands.
Figure 5. Physical Configuration
Figure 5 demonstrates a Signaling Gateway configured with three boards and six PCMs, four E1 and two T1
connect to primary, secondary and tertiary clock sources. Example MML for the above configuration is:
CNBOI:BPOS=1,BRDTYPE=SPCI2S-4-2,SIGTYPE=SS7;
CNBOI:BPOS=2,BRDTYPE=SPCI2S-4-2,SIGTYPE=SS7;
CNBOI:BPOS=3,BRDTYPE=SPCI2S-4-2,SIGTYPE=SS7;
CNPCI:PCM=1-3,PCMTYPE=E1,SYNCPRI=1;
CNPCI:PCM=2-3,PCMTYPE=E1,SYNCPRI=1;
CNPCI:PCM=1-4,PCMTYPE=E1,SYNCPRI=2;
CNPCI:PCM=2-4,PCMTYPE=E1,SYNCPRI=2;
CNPCI:PCM=3-3,PCMTYPE=T1,SYNCPRI=3;
CNPCI:PCM=3-4,PCMTYPE=T1,SYNCPRI=3;
