Chapter 2 Using SS7Cfg to Configure Your Gateway
Using SS7Cfg to Directly Manipulate the Registry
Step 3 Select a gateway for export by either selecting the gateway instance in the tree and
clicking the OK button, or by double-clicking the gateway name in the tree
control.
The SS7Cfg application determines the selected gateway’s type and verifies that
the current configuration matches. If an attempt is made to export a configuration
to a Registry hierarchy of the wrong type, a dialog box displays a message about
this inconsistency.
If a previously configured gateway location is selected, the SS7Cfg application
creates a backup of the pre-existing configuration in a key that lies in parallel to
the exported “CurrentVersion” sub-key of the gateway. This backup key is created
using a name which is a combination of the word “backupVersion” and a string
representing the current date and time. The backup key can be kept indefinitely or
deleted from the Registry once the new configuration is verified to be functionally
correct.
A shortcut is also provided from the main window. If the Customer and Node
names have been set from the main configuration window (this information is part
of the “Node” layer), then right-clicking on either name displays a context menu
with the Export to this node option.
