DSI Development Package for Linux - Release Notes Release 6.3.8

5.8 MST – Management Events and Selective Tracing

MST generates a Selective Trace indication whenever a formatting error is

detected within the received packet. This release introduces additional, more

specific, reasons for the formatting error and generates an additional event

report to the management module when a formatting error occurs. The event

report uses a new message MST_MSG_EVENT_IND (0x0e4c)

Generation of Selective Tracing and Management Event Indications is, by

default, enabled however this release adds the ability to enable or disable

both on a per event basis using a new message which sets the selective trace

mask (MST_MSG_SELTRACE_MASK (0x5e50).

Both new messages are documented in the Sigtran Monitor Programmer’s

Manual - Issue 5.

5.9 MTR - AnyTimeInterrogation

The MTR example application in the User Part Development package has been

updated to include support for the MAP AnyTimeInterrogation service.

6 Other Changes

6.1 Software Installation

The example system and protocol configuration files supplied with the

Development Package have been renamed 'example_system.txt' and

'example_config.txt' respectively. This is intended to prevent customer

modified configuration files getting deleted when the package is updated.

6.2 GCTLIB - REDIRECT

The operation of the REDIRECT command has been corrected so that

redirection only applies when messages are being sent and does not impact

or modify the input queue that a receiving module reads from.

6.3 Device Drivers (IPY00093718)

The signaling board device drivers have been updated to remove a

dependency on the deprecated kernel header file ioc32.h when building

drivers for 2.6.15 kernels or later. This, for example, removes an issue

encountered when building with Debian 6.0.2 AMD64 containing kernel

2.6.32.

In the previous release on insertion of the SS7LD device driver some chassis

experienced PCI-e related NMI errors. This issue has also been resolved.

6.4 SS7MD – ssdm improvements

This release includes improvements to ssdm and the device driver for the

SS7MD board to prevent premature board shutdown or board failure

indications during periods of host congestion. The ssdm binary includes

additional diagnostic capabilities to assist with factory diagnosis of field

issues.
