To allow for the communication using
the ATM-based control plane, the following SS7 signalling parts must be defined in both elements: MTP3 SCCP Application protocols
(RANAP/RNSAP)

Configuring IP and SCTP for IP Control Plane

Only if implementing the new
feature, IP Control Plane To define the IP configuration, the following must be defined: IP address of ICSU Static route to next hop Internal routing over ATM To define the SCTP, the following must be defined: Association set Association Source IP addresses

One signalling link consists of one association set

One association set consists of max 16 associations for ordered messages Signalling link is active when at least 1 association is active Signalling linkset is active when at least 1 signalling link is active SLS field is used to select the appropriate association One signalling unit can be connected to multiple association sets but inside one association set the unit is only connected to one association.

Integration steps SIGTRAN

Create an association set Add associations to the association set

Check the associations

Give IP addresses to own signalling units Create source IP addresses for SCTP Create IP type SS7 signalling link and link set Create the SS7 signalling route set
