Configuring wanpipes for ss7box 0.1

This page shows how to configure Sangoma wanpipe1 for ss7box 0.1 which uses the full T1/E1 bitstream from the Sangoma port. ss7box 0.1 has a software channelizer. Explanations for choices are given at each point in this presentation. This procedure is used to configure wanpipe2-n as well.

These instructions are for AFT series cards only (A101, A102, A104).

The screen captures where done on a Windows system using putty to ssh to a Linux system. The system being configured is a Linux system - not a Windows system.

To get started, log in with root priveledges and start the wanpipe configuration tool:


	# wancfg


This should bring up the screen shown in Screen 1 below.

Timeslot Group 1 Configuration

A timeslot group is logical entity that allows a group of contiguous timeslots in a facility to be treated an a single stream of bits. This logical entity is then available for delivery to a user application through a socket subscription. For ss7box 0.1 we define a single timeslot group with all slots included. This enables ss7box 0.1 to manage the channelization of the facility.

The Sangoma HDLC engine is turned off. ss7box 0.1 provides the DAED function which is the SS7 version of HDLC.

The MTU/MRU parameters define how many octets are included in each packet that passes through the Sangoma socket interface. MTU is the user to driver direction and MRU is the driver to user direction. MTU must equal MRU in ss7box 0.1 applications. MTU/MRU is recommended to be 1200 for T1 and 1240 for E1. These values are reflected in the /etc/ss7box/ss7box.conf file.
