You configure the CGIN RA frontend for the ITU TCAP stack by managing resource adaptor entity properties.

Tip
Manage like any other resource adaptor entity

You can manage the CGIN RA configuration the same as you would any other resource adaptor entity configuration — for example, using rhino-console’s createraentity command.

The teleSys MACH7 TCAP stack supports the following configuration properties:

Property
What it does

How to configure it

 
stack

Controls which TCAP stack the CGIN RA entity should use.

To use the teleSys MACH7 TCAP stack, set stack=mach7.

Warning Changes to this property will only take effect when the RA entity is next activated. 
mach7.backends

Configures which backend processes to connect to.

Must be specified when the teleSys MACH7 TCAP stack is used. The property is a comma-separated list of ip:port values identifying the backend TCP/SCTP ports to connect to. The IP and port should correspond to the configured backend process IP address and port values. Because the comma character has special meaning when entering configuration properties, the entire value should be quoted when more than one backend is configured.

 
mach7.slee-cluster-id

Uniquely identifies the cluster that this RA entity belongs to.

Must be specified when the teleSys MACH7 TCAP stack is used. The property is an integer value that uniquely identifies the cluster that this RA entity belongs to. It does not need to match the SLEE’s cluster ID, but should be distinct from the value used by RA entities belonging to another cluster.

 
mach7.sccp-bind-address

Configures the SCCP bind address to be used.

This configuration property may be used to specify the SCCP bind address. If PC and SSN fields are present in the local-sccp-address property, then they do not need to be present in the mach7.sccp-bind-address property.

Tip You can still provide network appearance (nwApp) information.

Any PC or SSN setting in mach7.sccp-bind-address must match that used in
local-sccp-address. For example:

mach7.sccp-bind-address="pc=2057,ssn=2,nwApp=0"
mach7.sccp-bind-address="nwApp=1"
 
mach7.corr-cluster-id

Used for advanced routing through the AN for correlated messages.

This configuration property is used by the ASC process to register with the AN as part of a cluster. This value is used for advanced routing through the AN for correlated messages.

 
mach7.comm-mode

Configures the frontend↔backend communication protocol.

This configuration property controls the protocol used for communication between the frontend and backend processes. Possible values are "SCTP" and "TCP". The default value is "SCTP".

Warning You need to adjust Rhino’s configuration to use SCTP communication mode — see Using SCTP. 
mach7.node-id

Configures the Scenario Simulator node ID.

This configuration property can only be set when using the Scenario Simulator. It is used to distinguish between multiple scenario simulator instances belonging to the same mach7.slee-cluster-id. In the CGIN RA, the teleSys MACH7 stack uses the Rhino Node ID instead; and this property cannot be set.
