3.7. Starting an SIU-based System

When you start an SIU-based system, the Intel® Dialogic system service downloads the required firmware to Intel® Dialogic boards, starts all Intel® Dialogic device drivers, and assigns time slots.

CAUTION

At least one SIU must be up and running when you start the service. This is required because the configuration is read from the SIU.

Starting the system involves two steps:

1. Start the DataKinetics environment. This involves starting the gctload program, which sets up the IPC (Inter Process Communication) and messaging system.

   If the system.txt file is correctly configured, the GCTLOAD program loads the RSI module responsible for communicating with the server(s). However, the actual connection to the server(s) is made by the Intel® Dialogic SS7 server.

2. Start the Intel® Dialogic SS7 server. The Intel® Dialogic system service can be started from the Dialogic Configuration Manager (DCM) and it automatically performs all initialization steps required by the Global Call SS7 system (excluding the preceding step 1).
