3.3. Protocol Stack Configuration (config.txt)

The SS7 protocol stack is usually configured based on the config.txt configuration file. For Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 board systems, this file is used by the S7_MGT program, normally spawned by the GCTLOAD program. The S7_MGT program reads the config.txt file and sends corresponding configuration messages to the protocol stack modules.

The SIU is configured in two stages:

• Selection of protocol modules and assignment as either SIUA or SIUB is achieved using the CNSYS management console command.
• SS7 protocol parameters are set by editing the config.txt file.

The following sections describe only aspects of the protocol stack configuration that are important for operation with the Global Call SS7 software. See the DataKinetics documentation for detailed explanations of the all the commands in the config.txt file.
