HP OpenCall SS7 Developer’s Environment

The HP OpenCall SS7 software is available as a runtime environment or as a developer’s environment. The HP OpenCall SS7 developer’s environment allows the development and testing of applications on top of the SS7 stack. These applications can be deployed on the HP OpenCall SS7 environment software while remaining independent of the platform configuration.

Development Software

In the development environment, the SS7 Stack and management libraries are accessible via the HP OpenCall SS7 Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), thus allowing the development of C/C++ applications. The APIs provide a transparent interface, shielding applications from the underlying network procedures and the platform architecture.

Loopback Testing

Once an application has been developed, it can be tested on the development platform using loopback testing. The advantage of loopback testing is that SS7 network access connections are not necessary.

However, for applications that use the lower MTP levels, a limited number of network access links must be used.




	NOTE: ISUP loopback can only be used when CIC-based distribution is disabled.
