3.1. Configuration Overview

The software configuration of a Global Call SS7 system requires two separate tasks:

• Configuration of the DataKinetics environment
• Configuration of Intel® Dialogic system software to operate with the DataKinetics environment

The first task is to configure the DataKinetics system environment and protocol stack. This is fully described in the DataKinetics documentation, therefore only the basic topics and the topics that are directly important for the Global Call SS7 software are covered in this chapter. Some sample configuration files for various types of configurations are also provided in Appendix C, "Sample Configuration Files".

Configuration of the DataKinetics environment involves the following general activities:

• Configuration of the DataKinetics system environment, which is achieved by editing the system.txt file
• Configuration of the SS7 protocol stack, which is achieved by editing the config.txt file
• Configuration of the Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 board and optional CT Bus time slot reservation and clocking using DCM.
• Configuration of the Intel® NetStructure™ SIU.
• Alignment of the module IDs in the Intel® Dialogic Configuration Manager (DCM) with the ones defined in config.txt.

Figure 11 shows the general activities in sequence.
