4 Message Reference
28
Description
This message must be the first message sent to the DSI SPCI Board once the SS7
software is running. It is used to configure all modules on the board for operation. The
message contains signaling point codes for this signaling point and the adjacent
signaling point(s), flags to permit various level 1, level 2, and level 3 run-time options
to be selected and the physical link parameters.
Once the DSI SPCI Board has been configured, you must reset it before configuring it
again.
The confirmation message (if requested) indicates success by status of zero. To
ensure configuration is complete before subsequent messages are issued to the board,
the user should always request a confirmation message and check the status for
success.
If the board is not licensed to run the requested software configuration, status value of
0xfe is returned.
Parameters
flags - Global flags
Bit 0 is set to 1 to indicate that the user does not wish to use signaling software. This
allows operation of the board without a software license button providing the board is
used only for T1/E1 interface and switching purposes. If signaling software is required,
then this bit must be set to zero.
Bit 9 is set to 1 to disable automatic MTP route configuration, in which case the user
must send individual MTP Route Configuration messages for each destination. When
set to zero, the board automatically configures an MTP route to each adjacent signaling
point using the link set directly connected to the signaling point.
Bit 12 is set to 1 to cause all signaling links to be automatically activated. Usually, this
bit is set to zero and the user sends individual MTP Link Activation requests to activate
each link.
Bit 15 is set to 1 for diagnostic purposes to cause the results of internal board
configuration to be passed to the host. When set, all confirmation messages generated
internally on the board during the configuration sequence are sent to the module_id
0xdf on the host.
All other bits are reserved for future use and must be set to zero.
l1_flags - level 1 flags
Bit 0 controls the reference source used for on-board clocks when acting as CT bus
Primary Master. If set to 1, the clock is recovered from one of the line interfaces. If set
to zero, the on-board clock oscillator is used.
Bit 6 and 7 together select the initial CT bus clocking mode as shown in the following
table. The clocking mode can be modified subsequently and dynamically using the
MVD_MSG_CNFCLOCK message.
Bit 7
Bit 6
CT bus clocking mode
0
0
The CT bus interface is disabled - The board is electrically
isolated from the other boards using the CT bus. The CT bus
connection commands may still be used, but the connections made
are only visible to this board. The on-board clocks are synchronized
to the source selected by bit 0 of this flags parameter.
