Welltech SPCI2S Intel NetStructure SS7 Boards - Manual (Page 41)

SS7 Programmer’s Manual for SPCI2, SPCI4 and CPM8 Issue 2 Page 41
Description:
This message must be the first message sent to the board once the SS7
software is running. It is used to configure all modules on the board for
operation. The message contains signalling point codes for this signalling point
and the adjacent signalling point(s), flags to permit various level 1, level 2 and
level 3 run-time options to be selected and the physical link parameters.
Once the board has been configured it must not be configured again without
first resetting it.
The confirmation message (if requested) will indicate success by a status of 0.
To ensure that configuration is complete before subsequent messages are
issued to the board, the user should always request a confirmation message
and check the status for success.
If the board is not licenced to run the requested software configuration a status
value of 0xfe is returned.
Parameter Description:
flags - Global flags
Bit 0 is set to 1 to indicate that the user does not wish to use any signalling
software. This allows operation of the board without a software licence button
providing the board is used only for E1 / T1 interface and switching purposes. If
signalling software is required then this bit must be set to zero.
Bit 9 is set to 1 to disable automatic MTP route configuration, in which case the
user must send individual MTP Route Configuration messages for each
destination. When set to zero the board will automatically configure an MTP
Route to each adjacent signalling point using the link set directly connected to
the signalling point.
Bit 10 is reserved for future use and should currently always be set to 1.
Bit 12 is set to 1 to cause all signalling links to be automatically activated.
Usually this bit is set to zero and the user sends individual MTP Link Activation
requests to activate each link.
Bit 15 is set to 1 for diagnostic purposes to cause the results of internal board
configuration to be passed to the host. When set, all confirmation messages
generated internally on the board during the configuration sequence are sent to
the module_id 0xdf on the host.
All other bits are reserved for future use and should be set to zero.
l1_flags - level 1 flags
Bit 0 controls the reference source used for on-board clocks when acting as CT
bus Primary Master. If set to 1 then the clock will be recovered from one of the
line interfaces. If set to zero then the on-board clock oscillator will be used.
