Chapter 1: Introduction
Dialogic
®
DSI SS7MD Network Interface Boards
are specialized T1/E1/J1 SS7 signaling boards suitable for
use in PCI Express form factor systems. The boards use the common Dialogic
®
DSI software API to the
application that enables applications to be easily ported.
The boards provide a hardware platform to enable running Dialogic
®
DSI Protocol Stacks for the realization
of Signaling System Number 7 signaling nodes. In addition, the
DSI SS7MD Boards can be used to build high
performance monitoring applications. The boards can be used under the Linux and Solaris operating
systems.
This manual is the Programmer’s Manual for the Dialogic
®
DSI SS7MD range of network interface boards. It
is targeted for system developers who are integrating the boards and who have chosen to develop
applications that use the underlying DSI Protocol Stack. The manual includes information on:
•
software installation
•
system configuration
•
protocol configuration
•
operation of the boards and the SS7 software stack
The manual should be used in conjunction with the appropriate Installation Guide and Regulatory Notice for
the board. These and other supporting documentation, including the Programmer’s Manuals for the individual
protocol modules, are listed in
