Set E1/T1 Port Attributes
Command: SET E1PORT

You can choose to set attributes of all ports on a board or only
one port on a board. To set attributes of one port, set Start Port
No. and End Port No. to the same value.
When we configure the frame structure, keeps consistent with
the frame structure of the device interconnected.
Page15

BSC/MSC/PSTN
Configuring TDM Time Slots (1)
Command: ADD TDMIU

This command is used to designate which VMGW the TID belongs
to as the UMG8900 supports VMGW functions and can allocate

TDM resources of one physical device to multiple VMGWs. It could
also designate the CMU that manages the TID.
An E32/T32 has 1024 physical time slots at most. Therefore, the
end TID minus the start TID must be less than 1024.
The start TID of a TDM interface board (E32/T32/S2L) must be an
integral multiple of 1024.
Page16

BSC/MSC/PSTN
Configuring TDM Time Slots (2)
Command: ADD TDMIU

The start TID of a TDM interface board (E32/T32/S2L) must be an
integral multiple of 1024.

All time slots of one TDM interface board (E32/T32/S2L) must be of
the same load type.

All time slots of one trunk (namely, one E1/T1 port) must be of the
same relay type.

An entity refers to a logical unit that completes the specific function

(AS,SP,SG), an M3UA local entity defines a local signaling point.
M3UA link is the SCTP association between SGP and ASP

Configuring MTP Link
Configure Local Office Information
Command: SET OFI/ADD OFI
MSOFTX3000 support 16 local office information

tables( numbered 015).
The local office data index added for the first time is "0". SET OFI
is used for the first time to add local office data.
Currently, MSOFTX3000 supports multi-SP configuration at the

local office, so we could use the command ADD OFI to add SPs to
break the number limitation of 16 signaling links.
Page24
Configuring M3UA Link
Add MTP2 Links:
Command: ADD MTP2LNK.
This command is to configure the link in MTP2 layer. The MTP2

link could transfer the M2UA signaling and bear the MTP3
signaling.
The MTP2 link can be applied to the M2UA or MTP3 layer, to

configure an SG based on M2UA, select the MTP2 link type for
M2UA; to configure an SG based on M3UA, select the MTP2 link
type for MTP3.
Page25
Add Destination Point :
Command: ADD N7DSP.
These MTP3 destination signaling points form the topology of the signaling
network where the local office MTP3 signaling points are located.
Network indicator and local office SPC have been defined when we add
local office information.
STP flag is to configure whether HLR have STP function, it is up to network

and operator.
HLR is directly connected with MSC, they are adjacent network entity in
SS7 signaling network, so this adjacent flag is True.
Page26
Add MTP Link Set:
Command: ADD N7LKS.
An MTP3 link set is a group of signaling links between two

adjacent signaling points
Adjacent DSP index is a index of associated DPC to define the

destination of the link set. This index must be set in the former
table.
Page27
Add MTP Route:
Command: ADD N7RT.
An MTP3 route is the path through which signaling messages are

transmitted between two signaling points.
This command defines routes used by a link set.
The link set and DPC must be added in the two former tables.
Page28
Add MTP Link:
Command: ADD N7LNK.
Module number is the module number of WCSU board (or SGU board).
Circuit number is the time slot number of E1 used by the link, usually use
16th time slot in E1 as the signaling link, need to consult with HLR
configuration.
Link Set Index indicates that which link set the link is belong to.
SLC is a appointed value, it is a interface parameter, need to consult with

HLR configuration.
Choose 64k link, if need to use one E1 time slot as the signaling link.
Page29
Add IP Address:
Command: ADD IPADDR.
This command is used to configure the IP address of a specified

interface on a specified board. In this chapter it is used to
configure the IP address of SPF board.
It could be used to configure master, slave, and test IP addresses.
To configure multiple addresses for an IP interface, configure the

master IP address first before a slave IP address. otherwise,
configuring a slave IP address will fail.
Page30
Add M3UA Local Entities:
Command: ADD M3LE.
An M3UA local entity corresponds to an originating signaling point

code (OPC) that is identified by network ID (NI) and OPC.
Local entity type specifies the application mode of the UMG8900 in

the M3UA link. For the two peer devices, if the entity type is
Application Server (AS) for one device, the entity type is SG for the
other.
Usually the entity type is set to SG for the UMG8900 and AS for
MGC.
Page31
Add M3UA Destination Entities:
Command: ADD M3DE.
An M3UA destination entity defines a destination signaling point

and is identified by NI and DPC.
Network Mode is valid only when the destination entity type is AS.
It specifies whether the peer AS engrosses or shares a signaling
point code with others.
Page32
Add M3UA Link Sets:
Command: ADD M3LKS.
A group of M3UA links between the local entity and adjacent

destination entity constitute a M3UA link set.
An M3UA link set describes the static features of all the M3UA
links from the local entity to an M3UA adjacent destination entity.
Page33
Add M3UA Routes:
Command: ADD M3RT.
M3UA route is the path from the local entity to the destination
entity is called.
There can be multiple routes to a M3UA destination entity, but the

routes to the same M3UA destination entity must use different
M3UA link sets.
Page34
Add M3UA Signaling Links:
Command: ADD M3LNK.
The link set up between the SGP and the ASP through SCTP is
called M3UA link.
Each end of an M3UA link can be either the SGP or the ASP
(IPSP is not applied in the UMG8900).
First IP address is a mandatory parameter, and if second address

is also specified, this configuration shall support the dual homing
function.

IID can be showed in Integer-type or Text-type, It uniquely

identifies this MTP link from others borne by the M2UA link. IID
must be negotiated with SG and MGC (MSOFTX3000).

L2UA link sets refer to the collection of SCTP links between the
UMG8900 and MSC Server.
In this command we could specify the L2UA link interface ID type

borne by this L2UA link set, it could be integer-type interface ID or
text-type interface ID.
Page41
Add L2UA Links:
Command: ADD L2UALNK.
L2UA signaling is processed in SPF boards.

Data Configuration Step (MGW

side)
Between the UMG8900 and MSC Server common channel

signaling can be transferred through semi-permanent connections
between TDM time slots. When a semi-permanent connection is
established between the TDM time slots that bear the signaling,
the two TDM time slots are always in the connected state. The
SS7 signaling is transparently transferred through this connection.

TDM Bearer
The UMG8900 can serve as an MGW in the core network, where

it can interwork with other MGWs over IP, TDM or ATM bearers.
The configuration of MGWs interconnection over TDM bearers is
the same with configuring connection with BSC/MSC/PSTN.

Page50
Configuring IP Gateway
Add IP Gateway Address:
Command: ADD GWADDR
The purpose of configuring gateway address is to forward IP

packets carrying services to the desired gateway. As an IP packet
is unaware of its destination when being configured, you are
unable to configure forward information of the IP packet with the
ADD ROUTE command, which requires destination address.
An IP interface can be configured with two gateway addresses at

most.
Page51
Configuring IP Bearer Capability
Add IP resources for VMGW:
Command: ADD VMGWIP
For the UMG8900 supports VMGW functions, we use this

command to allocate the IP bearer capability for each VMGW. IP
bearer capability is the number of the combinations IP address +
UDP port.
The UDP ports of an IP address can be shared by multiple

VMGWs or be exclusively occupied by one VMGW; on the other
hand, one VMGW can occupy UDP port resources of multiple IP
addresses.
