Creating an MTP3 Linkset
After you have created an MTP3 network, you are ready to
create an MTP3 linkset. This can be done through
the MTP3 network configuration window. A linkset is used to logically combine multiple MTP3 links going
to the same DPC into a single entity. One linkset could be the links between a point code identifying the
Smart Media SS7 node and a point code identifying the adjacent SS7 equipment.
To create an MTP3 linkset:
1. Cl
