2.3. Intel® Dialogic SS7 Server

The Intel® Dialogic SS7 Server is started with all other Intel® Dialogic system components and is responsible for performing the following tasks:

• Assigning module IDs to application processes
• Dispatching messages to application processes
• Automatic handling of dual resilient operations (circuit groups activation and transfer to partner SIU)
• Performing start-up tasks, such as CT Bus transmit time slot assignments for Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 CompactPCI and PCI board systems or SCbus transmit time slot assignments for Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 ISA (PCCS6) board systems)

Module IDs that the SS7 server automatically assigns to applications are taken from a configurable list, allowing maximum flexibility in the use of the DataKinetics software architecture.

The messages dispatched by the SS7 server are handled by Libgcs7, eventually generating standard Global Call events to the application.

In Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 board systems, time slots that are used for voice circuits on trunks connected to the Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 board are automatically assigned a transmit time slot on the CT Bus for Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 CompactPCI or PCI boards, or SCbus for Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 ISA (PCCS6) boards, allowing the application to perform routing of these time slots by using the standard set of bus routing functions, without having to care about special aspects of interconnecting Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 boards with Intel® Dialogic hardware in the system.
