1 Introduction
Dialogic
®
DSI SS7MD Network Interface Boards are specialized T1/E1/J1 SS7 signaling
boards suitable for use in PCI Express form factor systems. The boards use the
common Dialogic
®
DSI software API to the application that enables applications to be
easily ported.
The boards provide a hardware platform to enable running Dialogic
®
DSI Protocol
Stacks for the realization of Signaling System Number 7 signaling nodes. In addition,
the DSI SS7MD Boards can be used to build high performance monitoring applications.
The boards can be used under the Linux, Solaris SPARC and Solaris x86 operating
systems.
