Switch Setup
The following steps are required to setup a new carrier
1. Decide on the physical connections that will be used for voice connections.
The following are supported: a) E1/T1 b) IP
2. Decide on the type of signaling that will be used and configure it. (Click on the links for more information on configuration, manuals etc.)
The following are supported: a) SS7 - ITU/ANSI ISUP b) ISDN c) SIP/SIP-T
3. For E1/T1 connections, Sky Dance uses IP gateways to convert the PSTN signaling to SIP.
Skynet offers the following fully integrated gateways
For SS7 to SIP/SIP-T based on hardware from the following vendors:
a) Audiocodes Mediant series gateways (Mediant 2000 - Mediant 8000) b) Sangoma A10x series cards.
For ISDN to SIP
a) Based on Audiocodes Mediant series gateways (Mediant 2000-Mediant 8000) b) Sangoma A10x series based cards.
4. To configure SS7 for Audiocodes gateways, there are several steps:
1. Physical layer configuration of the links and voice channels on the gateway is done via the Audiocodes element management system (EMS) or the Web GUI (M3K only). 2. Setting up the E1/T1 originating point code, links, linksets and routes must be also done via the EMS or Web GUI. 3. Next the links, linksets and routes must also be setup on the Sky Dance GUI. This will allow Sky Dance to control the gateway using M3UA and MGCP.
5. To configure other gateways - see their respective manuals.
