Configuring Connection with
BSC/MSC/PSTN
Configuring TDM Time Slots (1)
Command: ADD TDMIU
This command is used to designate which VMGW the TID belongs
to as the UMG8900 supports VMGW functions and can allocate
TDM resources of one physical device to multiple VMGWs. It could
also designate the CMU that manages the TID.
An E32/T32 has 1024 physical time slots at most. Therefore, the
end TID minus the start TID must be less than 1024.

Configuring TDM Time Slots (2)
Command: ADD TDMIU
The start TID of a TDM interface board (E32/T32/S2L) must be an
integral multiple of 1024.
All time slots of one trunk (namely, one E1/T1 port) must be of the
same relay type.

Configure Local Office Information
Command: SET OFI/ADD OFI
MSOFTX3000 support 16 local office information
tables( numbered 0~15).
The local office data index added for the first time is "0". SET OFI
is used for the first time to add local office data.

Configuring M3UA Link
Add MTP2 Links:
Command: ADD MTP2LNK.
This command is to configure the link in MTP2 layer. The MTP2
link could transfer the M2UA signaling and bear the MTP3
signaling.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page25
Configuring MTP Link
Add Destination Point :
Command: ADD N7DSP.
These MTP3 destination signaling points form the topology of the signaling
network where the local office MTP3 signaling points are located.
Network indicator and local office SPC have been defined when we add
local office information.
HLR is directly connected with MSC, they are adjacent network entity in
SS7 signaling network, so this adjacent flag is True.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page26
Configuring MTP Link
Add MTP Link Set:
Command: ADD N7LKS.
An MTP3 link set is a group of signaling links between two
adjacent signaling points
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page27
Configuring MTP Link
Add MTP Route:
Command: ADD N7RT.
An MTP3 route is the path through which signaling messages are
transmitted between two signaling points.
The link set and DPC must be added in the two former tables.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page28
Configuring MTP Link
Add MTP Link:
Command: ADD N7LNK.
Module number is the module number of WCSU board (or SGU board).
Circuit number is the time slot number of E1 used by the link, usually use
16th time slot in E1 as the signaling link, need to consult with HLR
configuration.
Link Set Index indicates that which link set the link is belong to.
Choose 64k link, if need to use one E1 time slot as the signaling link.

Configuring M3UA Link
Add IP Address:
Command: ADD IPADDR.
This command is used to configure the IP address of a specified
interface on a specified board. In this chapter it is used to
configure the IP address of SPF board.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page30
Configuring M3UA Link
Add M3UA Local Entities:
Command: ADD M3LE.
An M3UA local entity corresponds to an originating signaling point
code (OPC) that is identified by network ID (NI) and OPC.
Usually the entity type is set to SG for the UMG8900 and AS for
MGC.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page31
Configuring M3UA Link
Add M3UA Destination Entities:
Command: ADD M3DE.
An M3UA destination entity defines a destination signaling point
and is identified by NI and DPC.
Network Mode is valid only when the destination entity type is AS.
It specifies whether the peer AS engrosses or shares a signaling
point code with others.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page32
Configuring M3UA Link
Add M3UA Link Sets:
Command: ADD M3LKS.
A group of M3UA links between the local entity and adjacent
destination entity constitute a M3UA link set.
An M3UA link set describes the static features of all the M3UA
links from the local entity to an M3UA adjacent destination entity.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page33
Configuring M3UA Link
Add M3UA Routes:

Configuring M3UA Link
Add M3UA Signaling Links:
Command: ADD M3LNK.
The link set up between the SGP and the ASP through SCTP is
called M3UA link.
Each end of an M3UA link can be either the SGP or the ASP
(IPSP is not applied in the UMG8900).

IID can be showed in Integer-type or Text-type, It uniquely
identifies this MTP link from others borne by the M2UA link. IID
must be negotiated with SG and MGC (MSOFTX3000).

Data Configuration Step (MGW
side)
Between the UMG8900 and MSC Server common channel
signaling can be transferred through semi-permanent connections
between TDM time slots. When a semi-permanent connection is
established between the TDM time slots that bear the signaling,
the two TDM time slots are always in the connected state. The
SS7 signaling is transparently transferred through this connection.

TDM Bearer
The UMG8900 can serve as an MGW in the core network, where
it can interwork with other MGWs over IP, TDM or ATM bearers.
The configuration of MGWs interconnection over TDM bearers is
the same with configuring connection with BSC/MSC/PSTN.

Configuring IP Gateway
Add IP Gateway Address:
Command: ADD GWADDR
The purpose of configuring gateway address is to forward IP
packets carrying services to the desired gateway. As an IP packet
is unaware of its destination when being configured, you are
unable to configure forward information of the IP packet with the
ADD ROUTE command, which requires destination address.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page51
Configuring IP Bearer Capability
Add IP resources for VMGW:
Command: ADD VMGWIP
For the UMG8900 supports VMGW functions, we use this
command to allocate the IP bearer capability for each VMGW. IP
bearer capability is the number of the combinations “IP address +
UDP port”.
The UDP ports of an IP address can be shared by multiple
VMGWs or be exclusively occupied by one VMGW; on the other
hand, one VMGW can occupy UDP port resources of multiple IP
addresses.

Exercise 1-M3UA SG Mode
The UMG8900 transfers SS7 signaling between the PSTN
switch and MSC Server in the MTP3-M3UA mode.
