24
1.2 Resolved Customer Issues
Updates to resolve the following customer issues are included in this release:
IPY00099225, IPY00093617, IPY00094357 and IPY00099532.
2 New Functionality
2.1 Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
This release includes support for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 distribution
including device drivers for the SS7MD, SS7LD, SS7HD and SPCI boards.
2.2 SS7LD – 8 link support
A new 8 link license for the SS7LD board allows up to 8 links to be supported
(up to 4 per board) in an SS7LD board installation. This functionality requires
use of the SSDL and s7_mgt binaries from this release and the appropriate
license.
2.3 SS7MD – Support for up to 8 Boards in a Server
This release extends the number of SS7MD boards which can be supported in
any individual server from four to eight.
2.4 GCTLOAD – Enhanced Status reports
This release includes updates to gctload to provide additional information
when run with the –t option to provide status reports. All status reports now
include the date and time in the output.
The gctload –t1 output now includes additional measurements which may
optionally be reset by the user using the command “gctload –t1r” which will
display the current values and then reset the new measurements. The new
measurements are the maximum number of messages allocated in each
partition since reset and the number of congestion events since the last reset.
In addition the time of the last congestion onset and the time of maximum
message allocation (since reset) are both displayed.
The gctload –t1 output now also indicates whether there are time limited
licenses in use within the system.
The gctload –t3 output has been modified and now includes the process id of
the last process to read from the message queue.
A new gctload –t4 option has been added to list all host software licenses
current in use and in the event that the license is time limited it shows the
expiry date for the license.
2.5 SCCP – Per-RSP Configuration of SIO/SSF
To allow use of different Sub Service Field (SSF) values across a network,
SCCP now allows optional configuration of the Service Indicator Octet (SIO)
on a per RSP basis. When using s7_mgt for configuration, this is achieved
using the new optional parameter <ssf> in the SCCP_SSR command:
SCCP_SSR <ssr_id> RSP <remote_spc> <flags> <pc_mask> [<ssf>]
