Introduction
Overview
The Signaling System 7 (SS7) Gateway Configuration Tool (SS7Cfg) provides the
interface to customize the SS7 gateway for a particular network installation. This
tool is provided as a separate utility from the Intelligent Contact Management
(ICM) setup since it requires specific knowledge of SS7 networks, nomenclature,
and concepts. Therefore, the gateway will be setup initially with the ICM setup,
but will require subsequent configuration utilizing SS7Cfg, usually performed by
a carrier network specialist.
An important feature of SS7Cfg is that you can remotely edit and maintain regedit
files (*.reg) that can then be imported to and exported from the NT Registry with
the Windows regedit utility, without involving the ICM gateway site.
Note Do not use files exported from Regedt32 because they use a different format for
exported registry files that is incompatible with the format for regedit files.
Upon opening or saving an SS7 configuration Registry file, any configuration
problems are flagged by displaying a dialog box which indicates what the problem
is, and asks if you want to continue loading/saving the new configuration file. In
this way, SS7Cfg attempts to enforce the use of consistent configuration
information.
SS7Cfg was designed as a Windows Explorer-type application providing
context-sensitive shortcut menus that display after right-clicking an option.
