Working with Signaling Points
The Signaling Point Window displays the following information for all
discovered signaling points:
• Internal ID—Internal ID of the signaling point. The internal ID is a unique
ID for every event, link, linkset, node, and signaling point, assigned by SGM
for its own internal use. It can also be useful when the TAC is debugging
problems.
• Name—Name of the signaling point.
• Node—Name of the node associated with this signaling point.
• Instance ID—ID of the instance associated with the signaling point.
• Instance Name—Name of the instance associated with the signaling point.
• Point Code—Primary point code of the signaling point.
• Varian t — SS7 protocol variant. Valid variants are:
– ANSI
– China
– ITU
• Network Indicator—Determines the type of call that is being placed. Valid
values are:
– National—National-bound call. SGM routes national calls through the
national network.
– NationalSpare—National-bound call, used in countries in which more
than one carrier can share a point code. In those countries, networks are
differentiated by the Network Indicator.
– International—International-bound call. SGM forwards
international-bound calls to an STP pair that acts as an international
gateway.
– InternationalSpare—International-bound call, used in countries in
which more than one carrier can share a point code. In those countries,
networks are differentiated by the Network Indicator.
• Notes—Indicates whether there is a note associated with the signaling point.
