7 Configuration Command Reference
7.9 TCAP Configuration Commands
The TCAP configuration commands are:
• TCAP_CONFIG - Configure TCAP
• TCAP_CFG_DGRP - TCAP Dialog Group Configure
• TCAP_TRACE - TCAP Trace
7.9.1 TCAP_CONFIG – Configure TCAP
Synopsis
The TCAP_CONFIG command provides the TCAP operating parameters and, when used, must appear after
the SCCP_SSR or DTC_SSR commands. This command should only be used when an SCCP_CONFIG or
DTC_CONFIG command is present. The use of the TCAP_CONFIG command is not required and TCAP is
configured with default values if the TCAP_CONFIG command is not present.
By default, TCAP is configured with 32k incoming and 32k outgoing dialogs. The TCAP_CONFIG command
must be used to change these parameters for systems requiring a different number of dialogs.
Syntax
TCAP_CONFIG <base_ogdlg_id> <nog_dialogues> <base_icdlg_id> <nic_dialogues> <options> <dlg_hunt>
[<addr_format>]
Example
TCAP_CONFIG 0x0000 8192 0x8000 8192 0x0000 0
Parameters
The TCAP_CONFIG command includes the following parameters:
• <base_ogdlg_id>
The dialogue_id for the first outgoing dialog.
• <nog_dialogues>
The number of outgoing dialogs to support. The valid range is 0 to 65535.
• <base_icdlg_id>
The dialogue_id for the first incoming dialog.
• <nic_dialogues>
The number of incoming dialogs to support. The valid range is 0 to 65535.
Note: The total number of dialogs (<nog_dialogues> + <nic_dialogues>) must not exceed 65535.
• <options>
Specifies TCAP protocol options as defined for the TCAP Configuration Request message in the TCAP
Programmer’s Manual.
• <dlg_hunt>
The hunt mode used in the case of multiple TCAP hosts to determine which TCAP group is selected
whenever a new incoming dialog arrives. It should be set to 0, 1 or 2 for the following hunt modes:
Option Function
0 Cyclic Selection. Each new incoming dialog is allocated to the next TCAP group.
1
Load Balanced Selection. Each new incoming dialog is allocated to the group with
the least number of active incoming dialogs.
2
Sequential Selection. Each new incoming dialog is allocated to the group containing
the first inactive incoming dialogue_id.
