DSI SS7G41 Signaling Server – SIU Mode Release Notes
Release 2.2.3

2.6
IP Port Bonding
IP Port bonding has been enhanced to support more than 2 ports in a single
bond. Previously a Port Bond was created using the IPEPS MMI command
and setting the IP address of a particular IP port to be the ‘standby port’ of
another IP Port. The mechanism has changed and a BOND is considered a
distinct Network Interface that Ethernet Port Network Interfaces can be
attached to. To configure a Port Bond a BOND Network Interface should first
be added using the IPNII command. Individual Ethernet Port Network
Interfaces can then be added to the bond using the IPNIC command. The
bond will use the MAC address of the lowest numbered Ethernet Port.
2.7
IP Firewall
Operation of the IP Firewall has been enhanced to support more sophisticated
IP rules. In addition to being able to limit traffic for a particular service based
on a source network/address the command now supports specification of a
destination network/address. The parameters NETWORK and MASK have
been replaced with IPSRC and IPDEST where IP Network Addresses and
associated network masks should be entered in CIDR notation.
Previously the IPEPx command could be used to limit access to the Web
management interface for particular Ethernet ports. This functionality has
been removed. If required the IP firewall should instead be used to limit
access from particular IP addresses.
2.8
IP Ping and Route Tracing
The STIPP command has been enhanced to support the ability to trace the
route to an IP Address providing indications of the best, worst and average
ping times to the destination and each way point.
2.9
New and changed config.txt Commands
The new command SIU_DUAL replaces the old command SIU_REM_ADDR.
The ability to specify the Network Context (NC) in the commands
MTP_CONFIG, SCCP_CONFIG and STN_CONFIG means that the commands
MTP_NC_CONFIG, SCCP_NC_CONFIG and STN_NC_CONFIG are no longer
required.
The SCCP_RSS command (whilst still available for backwards compatibility)
has been replaced by three new commands SCCP_LSS, SCCP_RSP and
SCCP_RSS to configure SCCP Local Sub-System, SCCP Remote Signaling
Point and SCCP Remote Sub-System resources respectively.
2.10
New MML Commands
New MML commands allow the user to read the current configured values for
MTP and SIGTRAN protocol timers. The commands CNM2P, CNM3P, CNQSP,
CNG2P, CNG3P and CNGSP are documented in the
SS7G41 Operator’s
Manual
.
2.11
Browser Interface
Several small changes and enhancements have been made to the browser
interface to improve ease of use. Changes include a new color scheme,
addition of status information at the top of each page, the ability to connect
to the partner unit and some layout changes affecting SCCP and TCAP
configurations.
