This is done from the M2PA SAP configuration window. To create an M2PA link: 1- Click **M2PA** in the navigation panel: ![CreateM2pa 0](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/b/b3/CreateM2pa_0.png) 2- Select an M2PA SAP: ![SelectM2paLink 0](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/0/09/SelectM2paLink_0.png) 3- Click **Create new M2pa link** in the M2PA SAP configuration window: ![Create M2PA Link 0](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/2/2b/Create_M2PA_Link_0.png) 4- Configure the new link: * Enter a **name** for the link * Select a **protocol type**: * [ITU](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/ss7-and-signalling/ss7/itu) * [ANSI](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/ss7-and-signalling/ss7/ansi) * [TTC](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/ss7-and-signalling/ss7/ttc) * Set other features, as needed: * **Destination port** (same value as the one configured on the destination side) * Number of **SCTP Streams** * Click **Create** ![Create M2PA Link 1](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/2/28/Create_M2PA_Link_1.png) 5- Enter a **destination address** in the appropriate box in the information panel: * Click the **"<<"** button to add the destination address to the address list ![Create M2PA Link 2](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/9/92/Create_M2PA_Link_2.png) 6- Verify that the address has been added to the list, and that the **"*****(your address)***** was successfully added"** message appears (ex.: here the address is 190.0.0.0) ![Create M2PA Link 3](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/2/27/Create_M2PA_Link_3.png) **Path** ``` /configurations/ @[configuration_name]/hardware_units/@[hardware_name]/m2pa_stacks@[m2pa_name]/m2pa_saps/@[m2pa_sap]/m2pa_links/@[m2pa_link] ``` **Parameters (text)** ``` /configurations/ @[configuration_name]/hardware_units/@[hardware_name]/m2pa_stacks@[m2pa_name]/m2pa_saps/@[m2pa_sap]/m2pa_links/@[m2pa_link] dst_port = 3565 ip_dsts = [ ] name = "@[m2pa_link]" nb_of_sctp_streams = 10 protocol_type = "ITU" /configurations/ @[configuration_name]/hardware_units/@[hardware_name]/m2pa_stacks/@[m2pa_name]/m2pa_saps/@[m2pa_sap]/m2pa_links/@[m2pa_link]/advanced_parameters flow_ctrl_end_msu_threshold = 512 flow_ctrl_start_msu_threshold = 1024 ip_header_tos = 0 lssu_length = 1 prov_emrgcy = "500 milliseconds" prov_interval = "1 second" prov_normal = "7 seconds" /configurations/ @[configuration_name]/hardware_units/@[hardware_name]/m2pa_stacks/@[m2pa_name]/m2pa_saps/@[m2pa_sap]/m2pa_links/@[m2pa_link]/state link_disabled = false local_proc_outage = false /configurations/ @[configuration_name]/hardware_units/@[hardware_name]/m2pa_stacks/@[m2pa_name]/m2pa_saps/@[m2pa_sap]/m2pa_links/@[m2pa_link]/timers t1_timer = "45 seconds" t2_timer = "30 seconds" t3_timer = "2 seconds" t6_timer = "4 seconds" t7_timer = "3 seconds" ``` **Parameters (json)** ``` { "advanced_parameters" : { "flow_ctrl_end_msu_threshold" : 512, "flow_ctrl_start_msu_threshold" : 1024, "ip_header_tos" : 0, "lssu_length" : 1, "prov_emrgcy" : "500 milliseconds", "prov_interval" : "1 second", "prov_normal" : "7 seconds" }, "dst_port" : 3565, "ip_dsts" : [ ], "name" : "m2pa_link", "nb_of_sctp_streams" : 10, "protocol_type" : "ITU", "state" : { "link_disabled" : false, "local_proc_outage" : false }, "timers" : { "t1_timer" : "45 seconds", "t2_timer" : "30 seconds", "t3_timer" : "2 seconds", "t6_timer" : "4 seconds", "t7_timer" : "3 seconds" } } ``` ### List of Parameters * [Name](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#n) * [Protocol Type](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#p) * [Number of SCTP Streams](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#n) * [IP Header TOS](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/packet-network-type-of-service) * [Destination Port](https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/parameter-reference/m3ua#d) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/configuration/web-portal-3-3/protocol-stack/ss7-isup/adding-m2pa-links.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
