DSI SS7MD Programmer’s Manual Issue 3
2.3 Software Licenses
The DSI SS7MDL4 codefile supports different MTP2 link densities on the board. These are enabled using a
Host Software License that is to be ordered at the same time as the hardware. The Host Software License
licenses a specific number of link resources on the host that may be shared between boards in the same
chassis.
For details on how to activate the host license please refer to Dialogic® DSI Protocol Stacks - Host Licensing
User Guide U32SSS at http://www.dialogic.com/support/helpweb/signaling.
A combination of link types (provided they are supported by the board’s run mode) may be configured by the
host (on any board) provided the required link resources are available. A configured link’s resources are
freed when either the link is unconfigured or the board on which the link is currently active is reset.
The following table shows the available licenses:
The number of link resources required for each link type is shown below:
Note: IMA bundles are licensed based on the number of ATM cell streams they contain.
2.3.1 Run Modes
The run mode of a board determines the combination of protocols (LSL/HSL/ATM/IMA) available to the host.
