Release Notes for V6.01
1 Overview
This release of the Dialogic
®
SS7 Development Package for Linux adds
support for the Dialogic
®
DSI SS7MD Network Interface Board. This board is
a low profile PCI Express form factor with 4 T1/E1/J1 interfaces and support
for up to 124 SS7 low speed links or four HSL (High Speed Links). It uses the
same API as other Dialogic
®
DSI Network Interface Boards.
The release also adds support for a new config.txt command STREAM_XCON,
which simplifies routing between LIU’s on the board products, and enhanced
