 | NOTE: This chapter assumes that the HP OpenCall SS7 software and
hardware have been installed, and that the platform and hardware
have been configured. If you are installing a new platform from
scratch, please refer to “First Time Installation
Overview” for guidance. |

The first time you start your SS7 stack, the network configuration
file is empty. Use the SS7 Monitor to create and save your network configuration.
You can also use it to monitor the network.
The SS7 Monitor starts automatically when you start the platform management
tools using ss7MgrStart.
SS7 Monitor can run in two modes:
Administrator—allowing
both configuration and monitoring
(the ss7MgrStart command starts SS7 Monitor in this mode)
Operator—allowing
monitoring only
The procedures described in this chapter must be carried out
in Administrator mode. For information on changing between modes,
see “Changing
the SS7 Monitor Mode”.

| NOTE: You can quit the SS7 Monitor at any time by pressing
(Q)uit. |

SS7
Monitor Interface |

The Administrator’s
Monitor Main Menu provides these options:
Configure Entities
Monitor Entities
Single Entity Statistics
Moving between Parameters
Use the following keys to move between parameters:
| key | function |
|---|
+ | move down one parameter |
- | move up one parameter |
spacebar | move down one window |
backspace | move up one window |
Selecting a choice from the menu displays a window for that
choice. Each window has a corresponding help window, which gives
information about the data requested. All windows have a common
format.
You can enter commands using the function keys or a mouse.
Commands and error messages are displayed on the window.
Commands
To enter commands, enter the first letter, that is shown between parentheses
in the display. For example, to (c)heckpoint, enter c. To choose a menu item, enter the number that appears
next to it.
Refresh rate
For some windows there is at least a 2 second delay in refreshing.
The SS7 Monitor polls the state of the signaling units every 15
seconds.
Information
for 2-Host Platforms |
|
On a 2-host platform, network configuration is not possible while
the stack processes are synchronizing. The configuration must not
be changed while the platform is executing this process. Use the ocftstatus command to determine the state of the stack.
