MTP3 parameters
MTP3 signalling links, point codes and routing. 50 parameters.
A
Adjacent Point Code
The Origin Point Code parameter is used to associate an object with an adjacent point code.
B
Bind Confirmation Timer
Timeout for connection between an SS7 service access point.
Broadcast
The Broadcast parameter is used when the MTP3 is configured as an STP and you want to forward the MTP3 management messages TFA/TFP/TFR.
BSN Request Timer
As part of the changeover procedure on a link, MTP3 sends a status request to layer 2 to return the BSN for that link (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
D
Desired State
The Desired State parameter indicates whether an object is to be active or inactive upon creation.
Discard Priority
In networks supporting multiple levels of congestion, if a message is received by MTP3 with a priority less than the current congestion priority of the link (in case the link is congested), then the message is dropped.
F
False Congestion Detect Timer
This is the same as timer T31 in ANSI specification (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
Flow Control Request Timer
MTP3 link polling timer to MTP2 link about flow control status.
Flush Continue Flags
Specifies whether FLUSH BUFFER and CONTINUE requests are required to be sent to layer 2 on processor outage recovery.
L
Layer 2 Connect Timer
Used by MTP3 to periodically send a connect request to layer 2, if layer 2 is not responding.
Link Referral Craft Timer
This is the same as timer T19 in the ANSI specification.
Link Type
The Link Type parameter is used to set a protocol type for signaling links.
M
Messages Priority
Specifies the priority when sending MTP3 management messages.
Msg Q Len Prio0
Priority 0 message queue length (ratio from 0 to 100)
Msg Q Len Prio1
Priority 1 message queue length (ratio from 0 to 100)
Msg Q Len Prio2
Priority 2 message queue length (ratio from 0 to 100)
Msg Q Len Prio3
Priority 3 message queue length (ratio from 0 to 100)
MTP3 C Link
Indicates whether the link is a C link (links between the mated STPs are C links)
MTP3 SLTA Timer
Supervision timer for signalling the link test acknowledgement message (SLTA).
MTP3 Ssf Validation
Determines whether every message is verified against the Ssf mask.
MTP3 T1 Timer
Delay to avoid mis-sequencing on changeover timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T12 Timer
Waiting for uninhibit ack timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T13 Timer
Waiting for force uninhibit timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T14 Timer
Waiting for inhibition ack timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T15 Timer
Waiting to start signalling route set congestion test timer.
MTP3 T16 Timer
Waiting for route set congestion status update timer.
MTP3 T17 Timer
Delay to avoid an oscillation of the initial alignment failure timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T18 Timer
Waiting for links to become available during restart timer.
MTP3 T19 Timer
Waiting to receive all traffic restart timers.
MTP3 T2 Timer
Waiting for changeover ack timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T21 Timer
Waiting to restart traffic routed through an adjacent SP timer.
MTP3 T22 Timer
Local inhibit test timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T23 Timer
Remote inhibit test timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T26 Timer
Waiting to repeat the "traffic restart waiting" message timer.
MTP3 T3 Timer
Delay to avoid mis-sequencing on changeback timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T4 Timer
Waiting for change-back ack (first) timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T5 Timer
Waiting for change-back ack (second) timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 T7 Timer
Waiting for link connection ack timer (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
MTP3 Transfer Restricted required
Route management procedure for national networks.
P
Periodic SLTM timer
Interval timer for sending signalling link test messages (SLTM).
Priority
Priority for the link inside the linkset.
Probation Link Oscillation Timer
This is the same as timer T33 in ANSI specification (Allowed values are from 100ms to 6500000ms.
R
Restart Procedure
The Restart Procedure parameter is used to indicate the standard by which a configuration will carry out a restart process.
Route to Adjacent
The Route to Adjacent parameter is used when an MTP3 route is directed toward an adjacent network.
S
Second Concerned Point Code
Service Point Code
Destination point code of the remote service node.
Signaling Point Type
The Signaling Point Type parameter indicates the intended purpose of an SS7 MTP3 layer object.
SLTM Maximum Retry
Maximum number of SLTM message to retry before declaring the link DOWN
SSf Validation
The SSf Validation parameter allows the activation of sub-service field validation for an MTP3 configuration.
Suspension Link Oscillation Timer
This is the same as timer T34 in ANSI specification.
