1 Overview

This is the first release of the Linux Development Pack since V6.04.

The release introduces three new command line management utilities to

simplify control of, and status gathering from, protocol modules and

activation of trace masks

It includes enhancements to s7_mgt for configuration of the latest M3UA

release and a TXA binary to allow Dialogic

DSI User Part software to be used

in conjunction with Dialogic

TX Series SS7 Boards.

This release includes further enhancements as detailed below including the

ability for s7_log to create multiple rolling log files when configured to create

PCAP format logs.

The release is fully backwards compatible with the previous release.

This release is of particular use for M3UA users.

1.2 Resolved Customer Issues

2 New Functionality

2.1 s7_mgt - M3UA Configuration - Default Routes

The SNRTI command which is used to configure SIGTRAN routes now has a

new optional OPTIONS parameter to allow existing and future per-route

options to be selected within config.txt at run-time.

The content of the OPTIONS parameter is used to populate the <options>

field in the M3UA Route Configuration message M3U_MSG_CNF_ROUTE.

Initially the main use of this parameter is to designate the route as a ‘Default

Route’.

Bit

Mnemonic

Meaning

M3UOP_ROUTE_ASSUME_AVAIL

M3UOP_ROUTE_LOADSHARE

the route

M3UOP_ROUTE_DEFAULT

Default Route

If the OPTIONS parameter is omitted then s7_mgt will default to using the

value 0x0002 to provide full backwards compatibility with the previous

release.
