Cisco ICM Enterprise Edition SS7 Gateway Configuration Tool User Guide Release 6.0(0)
This tool supports several different gateway types, including AIN, INAP, and
Concert, which are all very similar. The only difference between these gateways
is the way some of the parameters are configured in the application layer.
Before Using SS7Cfg
Before working with SS7Cfg, you should familiarize yourself with the setup and
configuration of Cisco ICM software. You should also plan out the point codes,
subsystem numbers, adjacent connection point codes, and routing point codes for
the gateways you want to configure.
Note Important! A gateway must be installed before using SS7Cfg. Configure the
gateway by running ICM Setup and click the Network Gateway button in the
ICM Component Selection window.
For more information about ICM setup and configuration, see the Cisco ICM
Software Installation Guide and the Cisco ICM Software Configuration Guide.
