Sample Programs

The following sections briefly describe the sample applications provided with the ISUP API distribution.

The isupcfg program is a utility used to download configuration information to the ISUP layer task running on a TX Series communication processor. This sample demonstrates management API calls. The source code resides in \tektx\samples\isupcfg on Windows NT systems, and in /usr/src/cmd/txn/isupcfg on UnixWare and Solaris systems. For a description of the configuration file format, refer to the Signaling System 7 (SS7) Installation and Configuration Manual.

The isupmgr program is a utility for performing management operations on the ISUP layer. This sample demonstrates management API calls. The source code resides in \tektx\samples\isupcfg on Windows NT systems, and in /usr/src/cmd/txn/isupmgr on UnixWare and Solaris systems.
A related utility, txtrace, can be used to trace ISUP protocol messages. To trace messages, perform the following steps: Run the isupmgr application by typing: isupmgr. Use the BOARD command to change to the desired board. Enter the command: TRACE DATA ON . Exit isupmgr with the Q command. Run txtrace by typing: txtrace.
All ISUP protocol messages sent to and received by ISUP on the board will now be dumped in hex to the display. Note: The tracing functionality of ISUP is supplied for application debugging during development, and is not intended to be used to monitor traffic under load.

The term application sample manages incoming calls. The source resides in \tektx\samples\isup on Windows NT systems, and in /usr/src/cmd/txn/isup on UnixWare and Solaris systems.

The orig application sample originates an outgoing call. The source resides in \tektx\samples\isup on Windows NT systems, and in /usr/src/cmd/txn/isup on UnixWare and Solaris systems.
