5.4.2. Time Slot Assignment for Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 Boards

The SS7 server automatically assigns CT Bus transmit time slots for telephony circuits located on an Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 board. The SS7 server also performs the full-duplex routing required for the signaling connection, when the signaling links are routed over the CT Bus between an Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 board and a network interface (DTI) board. The configuration required for this to happen is described in Section 3.3.1, TDM Bus Configuration of an Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 Board.

In both cases, the number of time slots used by the an Intel® NetStructure™ SS7 board to transmit data and signaling over the CT Bus must be reserved using the Third Party Tech option in DCM as described in Section 3.4.1, Using the Third Party Tech Option in DCM to Manage the CT Bus. The Intel® Dialogic SS7 server checks that a sufficient number of timeslots has been specified. If not enough timeslots are reserved, the SS7 server will not start and will generate an error.
