This means checking that alignment is possible at MTP2 and MTP3 levels and that it is possible to connect at MTP3 level.

Prerequisite

Connect the TSC cables to the SS7 network.

Aligning at MTP2 Level

To align up to MTP2 level, you can use the hardware diagnostic tool.
This tool is described in the HP OpenCall SS7 Troubleshooting Guide.

Aligning at MTP3 Levels

Start the SS7 stack(s) using the ss7Start command.
Start SS7 Monitor using the ss7MgrStart command.
Configure the destinations, linksets, and links.
To align at MTP3 level, activate MTP using the SS7 Monitor.
1. In SS7 Monitor (which you started in Step 2), select “Monitor entities”, select MTP, and if the MTP state is INACTIVE, select “Activate MTP”.
2. After a while, the MTP state should change to ACTIVE.
In the monitor entities/lk/lkset menu, check that all links become active.
In case of problem, refer to the section on traffic problems in the HP OpenCall SS7 Troubleshooting Guide.

Connecting an Application at MTP3 Level

You can check that it is possible to connect at MTP3 level in either of the following ways:

Generate traffic using trafgen. Use the /opt/OC/bin/trafgen command.
Generate traffic using the MTP tutorials.
MtpClient and MtpServer are the names of the MTP tutorials. They are located in the /opt/OC/tutorial directory.

If MTP traffic is generated, then the connection was successful.
