1.1 SSNC as signaling network controller
To control the SS7 signaling system, the Signaling System Network Controller(SSNC) is used in D900
It provides the protocol functions of the message transfer part (MTP) and parts of thesignaling connection control part (SCCP). The open architecture of the SSNC isbased on Solution O.N.E (optimized network evolution) technology, i.e. messagetransfer within the SSNC is based on ATM.
Connection to the CP113 is done via a CP processor, the AMP. The signalingchannels are supplied by means of PCM30/24 via LTGs or directly by the network.Communication with users in the LTGs is provided directly via high-speed interfacesover the MBD.
The SSNC has its own OAM platform "Switch Commander". For operation, it isprovided with V24/LAN interfaces for the connection of NM systems.
Thanks to its own OAM platform, the SSNC can also be used as a standalonenetwork element (i.e. without D900 environment).
TIPThis document only describes the functionality of the SSNC as signaling networkcontroller. It does not describe special signaling interfaces like the signaling on the Iuinterface for UMTS or on the Gb interface for GPRS. These interfaces are discussedin the corresponding UMTS and GPRS courses.

1.2 Functions within the SSNC
The SSNC implements the functions of the message transfer part MTP and parts ofthe SCCP (SCCP global title translation and SCCP management). This is shown inthe following diagram, using a protocol stack.
Signaling System No.7 is divided into two main parts so that it can be adaptedoptimally to the diverse requirements of its various users:
the message transfer part MTP and the user parts UP.
Message Transfer PartThe message transfer part (MTP) is used in CCS7 by all user parts as a transportsystem for message exchange. Messages to be transferred from one user part toanother are given to the message transfer part which ensures that the messagesreach the addressed user part in the correct order, without information loss,duplication or sequence alteration and without any bit errors.
Functional levels of the MTP
Level 1 defines the physical, electrical and functional characteristics of a signalingdata link and the access units. Level 1 represents the bearer for a signaling link. In adigital network, 64-kbit/s channels are generally used as signaling data links.
Level 2 defines the functions and procedures for a correct exchange of usermessages via a signaling link. The following tasks must be carried out in level 2:
delimitation of the signal units by flags and elimination of superfluous flags error detection using check bits and error correction by retransmitting signal units restoration of fault-free operation, e.g. after disruption of the signaling data link.Level 3 defines the interworking of the individual signaling links. A distinction is madebetween the two following functional areas:
message routing and message distribution signaling network managementIn the SSNC these functional levels are mapped on the functional units MP:SLT(signaling link terminal) and MP:SM (signaling manager). The MP:SLT performsMTP-level 1 (message transfer), MTP-level 2 (error correction) and MTP-level 3(message handling incl. allocation). These SLT functions are logically combined andare performed by one or more MPs. Depending on system usage of the networknode, the SSNC can be provided with up to 47 MP:SLT. Per SLT up to 60 signalingchannels (64kbit/s) may be connected, but not more than 1500 links in total!
The MP:SM functional unit supports MTP-Level 3 network management and hoststhe routing database for the signaling network. Thus, each MP:SLT has an internalconnection to the MP:SM.

User Parts
The function, structure, format and coding of the messages as well as the connection
sequences and the procedures for cooperating with other signaling systems(interworking) are stipulated in the user parts. The user parts therefore control thesetup and release of circuit connections, the handling of service features as well asadministration and maintenance functions for the signaling channels (SCCPmanagement). The ISDN- and telephone user parts ( ISUP/TUP ) are located in theLTGs. The SCCP is located in the SSNC and is the only user part in case the SSNCis operated as Signaling Relay Point (SRP).

1.3 Multiple SS7 networks
The feature 'Multiple SS7 Networks' expands the range of network planning optionsin deregulated markets with many operating companies. With this feature, up to 32Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) routing domains (internal networks) can beadministered in one signaling network node with SSNC. This feature affects MTP,SCCP and the SS7 user parts.
This means that a node can be connected to up to 32 separate signaling networks,which are allocated to the ITU standard networks (NAT0/1, INAT0/1).
The 'Multiple SS7 Networks' feature is fully compatible with ITU-T SS7 standards, i.e.it is transparent to all SS7 protocols.
Each SS7 network can be individually administered; in this way up to 32 ownsignaling addresses can be set up in one node. Signaling point allocation iscompletely flexible.
The maximum capacity of the signaling network elements (1500 signaling links, 1024signaling trunk groups, 4096 DPC) remains unchanged. They can flexibly bedistributed over all internal networks.
The message format within the SS7 network remains unchanged. The SSNC internalformat contains the parameter 'Network Name' or 'Network ID' to identify therespective signaling network.
Operator benefits
Different operators can share one network node with SSNC Support of multiple point codes in one network node (e.g. for network
consolidation)
Incoming linkset-specific routing domains Enhanced interworking with other operators Internal separation of SS7 traffic belonging to different operators Separation of traffic for different applications (e.g. MTP user parts) Free assignment of the network indicator (NI) per internal MTP network Addressing of up to 4 million trunks between two nodes

1.4 Message flows
1.4.1 Signaling end point trafficSEP messages are either messages that are generated by a user- or application partof an exchange and sent to the SS7 network, or that are received from the SS7network and are evaluated by a user- or application part in the exchange.
TIPThe involvement of global title translation in the message flow is described in thechapter "Global Title Translation".
Signaling end point traffic, outgoing
An application part in either LTG or CP generates a signaling message that isforwarded to an idle MP:SLT automatically via a message channel. There level 3tasks are performed before the message is forwarded to another MP:SLT doing level2 and 1 tasks and that is connected to a trunk, transporting the message to it'sdestination (DPC in routing label of MSU). The latter connection has to be created byQ3 command. The routing database for outgoing links is hosted by the MP:SM, to
which all MP:SLTs have an internal connection.Since the SSNC internal message flow is based on ATM connections, a LIC convertsthe MSU format from ATM to STM (E1).

Signaling end point traffic, incoming
Any incoming signaling message will be converted from STM to ATM in a LIC before
it is forwarded to an MP:SLT by means of a 'nailed up connection', created by Q3command. There, message discrimination, allocation and distribution is beingperformed. In case the message is intended for one of the own user parts, it will beforwarded to the respective application part in an LTG or in the CP.

1.4.2 Signaling transfer point traffic
Signaling transfer points dont use level 4 functions for processing SS7 messages.They either just forward a message within the same signaling network or, in case of asignaling relay point, do global title translation with the received called party addressin order to forward the message to a signaling node in a different signaling network.
Signaling Transfer Point Traffic without GTT An MSU, coming from node A is forwarded to a LIC where the conversion from STMto ATM takes place. According to the created level 1 path, it will be processed by anMP:SLT.Message routing in that MP determines the link, leading to the next/final DPC for that
MSU and because a link is connected to a timeslot and the timeslot to anotherMP:SLT, this MSU will be sent to that MP.

Signaling Transfer Point Traffic with GTTThe message flow for an STP with GTT is very similar to the one described before.
The difference is another MP:SLT, especially created for doing global titletranslations. After the message has been received by the first MP:SLT, the need for GTT isdetected (routing indicator = 0) and the MSU will be forwarded to the GTT-MP. Fromthere, it is given to that MP:SLT, that is connected to the link, leading to the DPC thatwas calculated during GTT.

The creation of the database for the message transfer part comprises two steps:
Creation of the level 1 path through the SSNC Creation of level 3 objects
2.1 Level 1 path creationThe aim of the level 1 path through the SSNC is to create a nailed up connection,linking a timeslot of a PCM to an MP:SLT that performs level 2 and level 3 tasks forthat link.
This database is different, depending on whether the link is connected to the SSNC

2.1.1 Signaling links connected via D900
Like with the CCNC, links may be routed to the SSNC via a PCM line, connected to aDIU of an LTG ( 'outward LTG' ). Through the D900 switching network these links arerouted to a dedicated LTG ( 'inward LTG' , may be the same as the 'outward LTG' butdifferent LTU) that provides the connection to a LIC of the SSNC.
Both kinds of LTG are of load type 46.
Creation sequence:
CRLTGInward and outward LTGs have to be created and active.
CRLTULTU type D30 for inward and outward LTG is created.
ENTRPDCCHRThe PDC-characteristics of the INWARD LTGs have to be set to CRC4MF.
CRLICREDG A LIC redundancy group is necessary before a LIC pair is created.
CRLICCreation of the LICs connected to the inward LTGs

WARNINGAll interworking trunks need an interworking point! Creating more trunks than
interworking points or creating more interworking points than interworkingtrunks can cause problems! New signaling links might not get active!

2.1.1.1 SS7 trunks at outward LTG
Before setting up the Signaling Data Link (nailed up connection), the ports required
for the signaling links must be reserved by means of CRTGRP (GCOS=CCSLGRP)and CRTRUNK (LCOS=DIGSIG8) in the outward LTG.
2.1.1.2 Interworking trunks at inward LTG
The connection between D900 and SSNC is realized by one (min) or two (max)'interworking' trunk groups, at the inward LTGs.
1. 'Interworking' trunks (IWTR) are reserved via MML commands on the inwardLTG. Each IWTR is allocated to one of the two possible 'interworking' trunkgroups (IWTGRP).
2. All IWTRs of one inward LTG belong to the same IWTGRP.
3. Only 2 PCM lines per LTG are used for the LIC connection. The other two PCMlines may be used for speech connections.
4. When creating the links in a linkset, these links are automatically allocatedalternately to one of two existing IWTGRP. The operator only specifies the port ofa link on the outward LTG and the MP:SLT on which the link should terminate. (Ifthere are just link sets with one link only, these are always set up automatically inthe first IWTGRP).
This connection through the SN will be switched through as soon as the links areactivated.
TIPTrunks and trunk groups are still created in the D900 by MML commands.

2.1.1.4 Creation of LIC ports
Each LIC has 8 connectable ports. Depending on the connection (high speed/low
speed links, direct connection or via D900), the ports must be created accordingly. Inthe SSNC both, E1- (2Mb/s, PCM30) and DS1-connections (1.5 Mb/s, PCM24) maybe used.
CR LICPRTDS1 (for PCM 24 LIC ports)
CR LICPRTE1 (for PCM 30 LIC ports)
If the traffic type is 'STM' (for 64kb/s links), the port is created with 31 time slots of 64kb/s each. In case of 'ATM' (for high speed links) only one object with 2 Mb/s iscreated on a LIC port.
The timing source for the transmitted line signal may be the SSNC internal system
clock ACCG ('System Time') or may be derived from the incoming line ('Loop').The 'E1 frame format' describes the kind of error detection method of the PCM line.'CRC' stands for 'cyclic redundancy check' (CRC4) and will be used as default value.
If a LIC port is not created with the 'Administrative State = Unlocked', it has to beunlocked afterwards, using the task MODLICPRTE1.
TIPSince the LICs are created as a pair of one active and one redundant LIC, one mustmake sure, that the LIC-ports are created at the active LIC only (DISP LICREDG;).
Nevertheless, the redundant LIC has to be entered too.

2.1.1.5 Interworking points
For every 64kb/s link, virtual connection data must be created to translate the STM
connection parameters into ATM connection parameters that are used SSNCinternally. Virtual connections for narrow band links (64kb/s) have to be created asinterworking points (IWP).
The operator specifies only the physical location of each time slot (LIC, LIC-port, timeslot) for which a virtual connection should be created and the system generates allnecessary data for the ATM connection itself. Most of the ATM description data areinternally predefined and don't need to be specified by the operator.
The virtual connection is identified by an interworking point number (IWP ID), whichcan be entered by the operator or is assigned automatically by the system. It makessense to assign an IWP ID from which the relation between LIC-port and timeslot can
be derived:
Example:
IWP ID: "a b c" 1304
LIC: a 1
LIC Port: b 3
Time Slot: c 04
The task CRIWP has to be entered once for each single timeslot on the connectionbetween inward LTG and LIC. A parameter similar to "TRRANGE" in CRTRUNKdoes not exist.
TIPThe IWP-ID is used in the Signaling Data Link task (CRSIGDLLTG) for directlyconnected low speed links to set up a permanent virtual connection (PVC) from atime slot of a PCM to an MP:SLT.

2.1.1.6 Create a signaling data link
Signaling Data Links form the connection between the SS7 links from the network
and the MP:SLT. This involves nailed up connections, which are connected on theD900 side as STM-NUC and on the SSNC side as ATM-NUC (PVC).
Specifying both end points, i.e. network (time slot of the outward LTG) and MP setsup data links between them automatically. Depending on the kind of signalingconnection (Low Speed/High Speed, direct or via EWSD to the LIC port), differenttasks with different parameters have to be used.
In the CRSIGDLLTG task, the end points are defined by the time slot location of theoutward LTG and the MP:SLT.
The time slots between D900 (LTG- inward port) and SSNC (LIC) are selected by thesystem automatically.
It is sufficient if the signaling network and the data link are identified by their givennames. The identification number (ID) is then found/allocated automatically.
The parameter 'Bit inversion' indicates whether the level 1 bit stream is inverted for asignaling data link or not.
The bandwidth of the internal through connection will always be 64kb/s in case of lowspeed links.

2.1.2 Signaling links directly connected to a LIC
In opposite to the CCNC, a PCM line with signaling links may also be connected tothe SSNC directly without an LTG. In that case, each timeslot of the PCM representsone 64kb/s signaling link.
Since no trunk groups and no trunks are needed here, the necessary database issimpler than in the case described before.

2.1.2.1 Creation of LIC ports
Each LIC has 8 connectable ports. Depending on the connection (high speed/low
speed links, direct connection or via D900), the ports must be created accordingly. Inthe SSNC both, E1- (2Mb/s, PCM30) and DS1-connections (1.5 Mb/s, PCM24) maybe used.
TIPThe LIC ports have to be created in the same manner as for low speed links,connected via LTG, described before:
2.1.2.2 Interworking pointsFor every 64kb/s link, virtual connection data must be created to translate the STMconnection parameters into ATM connection parameters that are used SSNCinternally. Virtual connections for narrow band links (64kb/s) have to be created asinterworking points (IWP).
TIPThe interworking points have to be created in the same manner as for low speedlinks connected via LTG and described before.
2.1.2.3 Create a signaling data link
Signaling Data Links form the connection between the SS7 links from the networkand the MP:SLT. This involves nailed up connections, which are connected on theD900 side as STM-NUC and on the SSNC side as ATM-NUC (PVC).
In the CRSIGDLLIC task, the endpoints are defined by the interworking point (i.e. theLIC-port, defined in CRIWPSS7) and the MP:SLT.
It is sufficient if the signaling network and the data link are identified by their given
names. The identification number (ID) is then found/allocated automatically.The parameter 'Bit inversion' indicates whether the level 1 bit stream is inverted for asignaling data link or not.
The bandwidth of the internal through connection will always be 64kBit in case of lowspeed links.

2.1.3 High-speed (ATM) signaling links
High-speed links are ATM connections between an SSNC and another ATM node onwhich signaling messages are transmitted as payload. The bandwidth of the high-speed connection is fixed to the bandwidth of the physical carrier (2Mbit/sec forPCM30).
2.1.3.1 ATM terminology
Transmitting information in ATM is done by a continuous stream of "ATM cells" offixed length (48 byte payload and 5 byte header). User information, as e.g. signalingmessages, is divided into portions of 48 byte, packed into the cells and sent through
the ATM network light freight in a container on a truck. ATM divides each physical transmission into logical connections ( virtualconnections ) that are assigned to the services that require transportation. Such avirtual connection consists of a virtual path (similar to a TGRP), an administrativegroup of one or more virtual channels (similar to a trunk in a TGRP). Theinformation, to which virtual connection a specific cell belongs, is contained in theheader of each cell as virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI).
The different tasks like packing the user information into the payload of an ATM celland inserting these cells into the continuous cell-stream, are described by a four-layer ATM model:
The higher layers (layer 4) represent the users that provide information to betransmitted.
The ATM Adaptation Layer AAL (layer 3) is responsible for segmentation, i.e.cutting the user information into portions that fit into the ATM cells and stuff themwith security information because ATM does not care for the error freetransmission of the payload inside the cells.
The ATM Layer (layer 2) forms the ATM cells by adding header information likeVPI and VCI to each payload.
The Physical Layer (layer 1) is subdivided into a Transmission ConvergenceSublayer that fits the ATM cells into the physical transmission medium (PCM) anda Physical Medium Sublayer that is responsible for the electrical adaptations to thetransmission medium.
TIPVPI, VCI and the transmission convergence sublayer have to be created in the SSNCdatabase for each LIC port at which a high-speed link terminates.

2.1.4 SS7 high speed link (STM)
In cases where links with high data rates are required, but the ATM standard is notdesired, the SS7 High Speed Links (HSL) offer a possibility to connect a 1,5 or 2Mb/ssignaling connection, based on STM technology, directly to a LIC-port.
For this purpose all timeslots of a PCM carrier (PCM 24/30), and thus of a LIC port,are bundled, thus representing the mentioned, high data rates for one single link.
The new data rates are transparent to the higher layers of CCS7; adaptation is doneon layer 2 level only.
TIP
This is NOT the ATM link that may be connected to an ATM port of a LIC, offeringsimilar data rates!
WARNINGAlthough the software to realize SS7 HSL with 1,5 Mb/s over a PCM 24 line isavailable and administration is possible, this software is neither tested norreleased for the world market. If requested, this software has to be tested andreleased for the concerned project.

2.1.4.1 Differences to narrow-band links
The only differences between a 64kb/s link and the new 1,5/2Mb/s HSL are, apart
from the transmission rate, the length of some fields in the MSU header and theapplied error rate monitoring method.
Signal unit format
When link data rates of 1.5 Mb/s and 2.0 Mb/s are used, the format of the sequencenumbers changes from 7 bits to 12 bits. In this case, the forward sequence numberFSN and backward sequence number BSN are in binary code from a cyclicsequence from 0 to 4095.
If the extended sequence number format as described above is used, the lengthindicator format changes from 6 to 9 bit.

2.1.4.2 Administration of SS7 HSL
The administration of SS7 HSL is very similar to the administration of narrowband
links. But: HSL must not be connected via LTG.Two new Q3 tasks are available for HSL and the layer-2 profile of these links must beselected according to their transmission rate and network type.
CR HSIWPSS7
'Create high speed interworking point' is very much like creating a narrow band IWP.Difference to CR IWP, which is used for LIC NB links: no parameter "Time Slot"because not a single timeslot is carrying the signaling information but the whole PCMline. Thus all ts of a LIC port are grouped together to form one interworking point.
CR SIGDLLICDifference to CR SIGDLLIC, which is used for narrow band links: parameter "Transmission rate supports 2Mb/s (and 1,5Mb/s but not released).
CR SIGLINK - DISP MTPL2PF
The layer-2 profile for high-speed links acc. ITU Q703 is predefined in the SSNC anddoes not need to be defined manually. Nevertheless, it has to be entered in the link-definition (parameter: 'Profile name').
Depending on the network type, ITU or ANSI, and the applied error correction
method, four different profiles are available: ITU BAS2.0_H: ITU network, basic error correction, 2Mbit/s, high-speed link ITU PCR2.0_H: ITU network, preventive cyclic retransmission, 2Mbit/s, high-speed
link
ANS BAS2.0_H: ANSI network, basic error correction, 2Mbit/s, high-speed link ANS PCR2.0_H: ANSI network, preventive cyclic retransmission, 2Mbit/s, high-

2.1.4.3 Required hardware
The MPs to which the SS7 HSL are connected via a signaling data link must have a
MPUE+ as processing units. MPUD will not work.The MPUE+ has a modified ASIC 'ATM230 V2.4' on board to offer the requiredfunctionality:

2.2.1 Own signaling point code
Every signaling point must have an own signaling address, consisting of SPC andnetwork indicator that is unique in the signaling networks this node belongs to.Depending on the project specific structure, this SPC has to be entered as a decimalvalue or structured (see chapter "Introduction to CCS7"). Furthermore, it must bedefined how the SP shall handle signaling- and status messages (TFA, TFP).
Due to the feature 'Multiple SS7 Networks', up to 32 different signaling networks canbe handled by a single SSNC. Thus, an own signaling address must be assigned foreach of the handled networks. It is sufficient to specify their 'Net Name', the 'NetID'will be assigned automatically.
If a different MSU length than 272 octets is required, the parameter 'Supported data
length' has to be set accordingly.The 'Signaling point type' determines the usage of the own SP:
STP Signaling point functions purely as a signaling transfer point, i.e. level 4 ofCCS7 will not be used to evaluate the message, not even SCCP for GTT.
SEP Signaling point functions purely as signaling end point, i.e. it candistribute a received message to its own users only. Should the routinglabel of an MSU indicate that a transfer to another signaling point isrequired, the message is discarded and the discarded-message counteris incremented.
STEP Signaling point functions as signaling transfer point and signaling endpoint.
In case the own node is a standalone signaling relay point with GTT, it has to be setup as STEP.
The parameter 'TFP TFA broadcast' determines, whether a received TFA-/TFPmessage shall be broadcasted to no, all, or just a limited number of neighboringsignaling points.
'TFR compatibility' determines where message rerouting will be done in case a TFR-msg from an STP is received.
TIPCRSIGPOINT is the task in which all the handled signaling networks for 'Multiple SS7Networks' are defined by creating an own signaling address on these networks.

2.2.2 Signaling destination point
In every signaling point of a network, all other signaling points of the same signalingnetwork, to which messages can be sent and received respectively, must be createdas destination points. Destination points are uniquely identified by a signaling network'Net Name/ID' and an SPC, which has to be unambiguous in that signaling network.Depending on the project specific structure, this DPC has to be entered as a decimalvalue or structured (see chapter "Introduction to CCS7").
The destination points can be reached from the own signaling point either via a directsignaling link set (i.e. destination point is adjacent) or via one or more intermediatesignaling points, so called signaling transfer points.
A loadsharing key defines, how the signaling messages towards that destination
point are offered to the possible linksets. All linksets, leading to one other signaling point of the own network are known assignaling routes. Loadsharing can be set for the first two active linksets of a signalingroute at most. Loadsharing is only effective if at least two linksets are created for thesame destination, which are entered in the routing table with the same priority using'CR SIGROUTE' (see below).
Loadsharing is carried out by evaluation of one of the SLS-bits (Signaling LinkSelection), found in the routing label of each MSU. The operator determines the bitby entering a 'Loadsharing key' between 0 and 4:
Loadsharingkey =
Loadsharing algorithm
none 0 No loadsharing. All MSUs are offered to the linkset with the highestpriority
SLS1...SLS4 Loadsharing between the first two linksets having the same highestpriority
LSK = SLS1...SLS4 defines a bit position within the SLS field of an MSU. A binary '0'
at this position routes the MSU to the first linkset, a binary '1' routes it to the secondlinkset.

By means of the task MOD SIGDP, the administrative state of a destination pointhas to be set to 'UNLOCKED' before it can be reached. As a prerequisite at least onesignaling linkset must be contained in the signaling route, leading to that destination
point.The administrative state attribute describes whether it is administratively permitted toroute SS7 MSUs towards the respective destination point. The possible valuessupported in the NE are LOCKED' and UNLOCKED.
The operational state attribute describes whether the respective destinationsignaling point is accessible (ENABLED) or not (DISABLED). If the operational statesof all signaling linksets leading to the signaling destination point are DISABLED,then the operational state of the signaling destination point is DISABLED, in anyother case it remains ENABLED. If the administrative state is 'LOCKED', theoperational state is 'DISABLED'.
