3.4. Using DCM to Configure Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 Boards

For Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 board configuration, you must consider whether you want to use the CT Bus for time slot routing on the SS7 board:

• If you need to have circuits from a trunk of the Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 board available on the CT Bus, or if an SS7 signaling link has been routed over the CT Bus between a Intel® Dialogic network interface board and the Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 board, you must configure the SS7 board as described earlier in Section 3.3.1, TDM Bus Configuration of an Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 Board and refer to Section 3.4.1, Using the Third Party Tech Option in DCM to Manage the CT Bus in order to reserve the correct range of timeslots on the CT Bus.
• If you do not need to use the CT Bus for time slot routing on the SS7 board, you can skip the procedure referenced above and refer directly to Section 3.4.2, Using DCM for General Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 Board Configuration.
