Release 6.4.0
1 Introduction
This is a feature release which adds support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
and provides increased capacity support for the SS7MD board (up to 8 boards
in a server) and the SS7LD board (up to 8 links in a system over multiple
boards).
The release also includes protocol updates to SCCP, MAP, M2PA and MST and
enhanced status reporting through gctload. Further changes and corrections
are includes as detailed below.
This is the first full release of the Dialogic
®
DSI Development Package for
Linux since 6.3.8 and it is fully backwards compatible with that release.
NOTE: Dialogic recommends that the complete Development Package
is used when upgrading from a previous release. If this is not
possible users should note that licensed protocol binaries from the
6.4.0 (and later) releases will not work with versions of the gctlib
shared object library prior to the 6.4.0 release. If a user needs to use
a 6.4.0 (or later) licensed binary in conjunction with an earlier
release of the Development Package then it is essential to also install
and use the gctlib shared library from the 6.4.0 (or later)
Development Package.
