Resolving SS7 Network Related Problems
Starting a Japanese SS7 Signaling Link Test
To start a signaling link test on a link that is configured for Japanese SS7, log in to the active Cisco PGW
2200 Softswitch, start an MML session, and enter the
sta-ss7-slt:
link
command.
Where link is the MML name of a link that is configured for Japanese SS7.
For example, to start a signaling link test on a link that is called ls1-link1, enter the
sta-ss7-slt:ls1-link1 command.
Retrieving Results for a Japanese SS7 Signaling Link Test
To retrieve the results of a Japanese SS7 signaling link test, log in to the active Cisco PGW 2200
Softswitch, start an MML session, and enter the
rtrv-ss7-slt:
link
command.
Where link is the MML name of a link that is configured for Japanese SS7.
For example, to retrieve the results of a signaling link test that is run on a link that is called ls1-link1,
enter the
rtrv-ss7-slt:ls1-link1 command.
The system returns a result that indicates the name of the link and the status of the signaling link test.
The following status responses are valid:
• TEST PASSED
• TEST FAILED—reasons for failure can be any of the following:
–
TEST TIMEOUT
–
LINK INACTIVE
–
LINKSET INACTIVE
–
ROUTE UNAVAILABLE
–
INVALID TEST PATTERN
–
INVALID SLC
–
FLOW CONTROL ON
–
UNKNOWN REASON
• COMPLETED hh:mm:ss
• TEST RUNNING
The following example shows a sample response to a signaling link test run on a link that is called
ls1-link1:
Media Gateway Controller - MGC-01 2000-01-12 15:18:41
M RTRV
"ls1link1:TEST PASSED; COMPLETED 15:18:34"
