Smart Media Software Configuration Guide 5 • Configuring SIGTRAN Applications
Overview
The Smart Media system enables you to configure SIGTRAN and extend SS7 signaling functionality to the IP
network. Smart Media enables you to configure a number of SIGTRAN applications based upon your require-
ments. Refer to the following sections for configuring SIGTRAN applications:
• M2
PA System: See “Configuring an M2PA System” on page 116.
In this configuration, the SS7 MTP2 layer is replaced by the SIGTRAN M2PA layer which extends MTP2
si
gnalling functionality into the IP network. This application is typically used between a Signalling Gateway
and an IP Signalling Point, or between two IP Signalling Points.
• M2
UA System: See “Configuring an M2UA System on a Signaling Gateway” on page 148, and “Configur-
ing an M2UA System on a Media Gateway Controller” on
page 158.
An M2UA system on a Signalling Gateway Controller i
nterfaces with an M2UA system on a Media Gate-
way Controller. In this configuration, M2UA bridges the SS7 MTP2 layer of a Signalling Gateway, across
an IP net
work, with the SS7 MTP3 layer of a Media Gateway Controller.
• IU
A System: See “Configuring an IUA System on a Signaling Gateway” on page 160.
An IUA system on a Signalling Gateway Controller interfaces with an IUA system on a Media Gateway
C
ontroller. In this configuration, IUA bridges the SS7 MTP2 layer of a Signalling Gateway, across an IP
network, with the SS7 MTP3 layer of a Media Gateway Controller.
• M
3UA System on two IP signaling points: See “Configuring an M3UA System on IP Signaling Points”
on page 166.
In this configuration, the SS7 MTP2 and MTP3 laye
rs are replaced entirely by the SIGTRAN M3UA
layer. This application is typically used between two IP Signalling Points.
• M3
UA System: See “Configuring an M3UA System on a Signaling Gateway” on page 177, and “Configur-
ing an M3UA System on an Application Server” on
page 185.
An M3UA system on a Signalling Gateway Process inter
faces with an M3UA system on an Application
Server Process. In this configuration, the MTP3 links are extended across the IP network.
