4.3 Program execution under Solaris
Ensure the device driver has been installed and the system configuration file
(system.txt) has been modified in accordance with system requirements to select
the correct protocols etc.
Ensure that the correct code file has been copied into the directory containing all
the SS7 binaries.
If using s7_mgt, ensure that the protocol configuration file config.txt has been
edited to provide correct protocol configuration.
To start the software running, change to the directory containing all the binaries and
run gctload optionally specifying the system configuration file.
To run the system in the foreground:
gctload -csystem.txt
To run it in the background enter:
gctload -csystem.txt &
The gctload program will initialise the system environment and start up other
processes. The s7_mgt process will configure all the protocol modules. A banner
will confirm that the system is running.
The example utility mtpsl may be used to activate and deactivate signalling links as
follows:
mtpsl { act | deact }
mtpsl act 0 0
mtpsl deact 0 0
To shutdown the host software run gctload using the ’–x' parameter
gctload –x
Any modules that have been started by gctload will be terminated automatically.
