An Overview of New Features in 10.3.3. ER 3

 

Cross Connect

This feature allows you to pass SS7 Links through the IMG by establishing a cross connection between two TDM channels.  These Channels can be on any spans in the same IMG that do not have an ISDN channel configured on them. These channels will not appear in any channel group.

Configuration

Cross Connections pane

 

Enhanced Channel Group Statistics

The IMG now reports the following channel group information in the Status Panel of the Channel Groups pane:

 

Sending TNS  (Transit Network Selection) Parameter for ANSI

You enable the passing of the TNS in the SS7 Parameter Filter pane. If TNS is set to Pass and there is a Carrier ID (either in the incoming IAM or configured in the Translation Entry), both Carrier Identification and TNS will be included in the outgoing message.

The Type of Network, Network ID Plan and Circuit Code sent in the TNS can be configured using the Advanced Carrier Number Translation pane. If a Carrier ID is entered in the Translation Entry but Advanced Carrier parameters are not configured. The Type of Network is set to National Network, Circuit Code is set to 0, and Network ID Plan depends on the number of Carrier ID digits.
