5.2 Program Execution Under Linux and Solaris
Proceed as follows:
1. Ensure the device driver has been installed and the system.txt configuration file has been modified in
accordance with system requirements to select the correct protocols etc.
2. Ensure that the correct codefile has been copied into the directory containing all the SS7 binaries.
3. If using the s7_mgt protocol configuration utility, ensure that the config.txt protocol configuration file has
been edited to provide the correct protocol configuration.
4. Start the software by changing to the directory containing all the SS7 binaries and running the gctload
program optionally specifying the system configuration file with the -c option
a. To run the system in the foreground, enter:
gctload -csystem.txt
b. To run the system in the background, enter:
gctload -csystem.txt &
The gctload program initializes the system environment and starts other processes. The s7_mgt process
configures all the protocol modules. A banner confirms that the system is running.
5. Activate and deactivate signaling links, if required, using the mtpsl example utility as follows:
mtpsl {act | deact} <linkset_id> <link_ref>
mtpsl act 0 0
mtpsl deact 0 0
6. Shutdown the host software by running the gctload program using the –x option
gctload –x
Any modules that have been started by the gctload program are terminated automatically.
