Chapter 3 Licensing, Installation and Initial Configuration
3.1.2 Temporary Licenses
A temporary software license can be issued for a spare or backup signaling server in the event that an
existing server encounters a problem that requires the unit to be repaired or replaced. Alternatively, a new
permanent license, based on the licenses from the failed unit, can be issued for a spare signaling server.
The process for obtaining a temporary license file is almost identical to that of activating a new license. On
the web based activation form, the License IDs should be prefixed with the following 4 characters: BAK-.
For example, if the license ID on the certificate is G20-ISUP-785-9187, the license ID specified on the web
form for the corresponding temporary license would be BAK-G20-ISUP-785-9187. The Host ID entered on
the form is that of the replacement system on which the license will be installed.
A temporary license file will be sent to the email address you specify during license activation. A temporary
license will allow operation of a spare/backup unit for a period of 30 days from date of issue, after which it
will be impossible to restart the system software.
3.2 Installing the Signaling Gateway
Caution: The Signaling Gateway should only be installed by suitably qualified service personnel. Important
safety and technical details, required for installation, are given in the Dialogic
®
SS7G21 and
SS7G22 Signaling Servers Hardware Manual and the Dialogic
®
DSI SS7G31 and SS7G32
Signaling Servers Hardware Manual.
In order to complete the installation of the Signaling Gateway unit, follow the steps below:
1. Connect a VT100 terminal to the unit (see Section 3.2.1).
2. Set the IP addresses of the unit (see Section 3.2.2).
3. Download software from the Dialogic website (see Section 3.2.3).
4. Install any additional software option licenses that may have been purchased (see Section 3.2.4 and
Section 3.2.5).
5. Change the system type to act as a SIGTRAN Signaling Gateway (see Section 3.2.6).
6. Apply the configuration to the unit (see Section 3.2.7).
3.2.1 Connecting a VT100 Terminal
A VT100 compatible terminal can be connected, using a DKL29 cable, to the serial port (COM2) on the rear of
the unit. After pressing the carriage return (Enter) key, the Signaling Gateway interface prompt is displayed.
Default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bits and no parity bits.
The output on the VT100 screen is similar to one of the following:
