Eicon Announces SS7 Signaling Support for Diva Server Line

Eicon Networks Corporation has announced new software to provide SS7 signaling protocol support for its Diva Server product line. The new Diva Server SoftSS7 software enables all existing or new applications written to any of the Diva Server APIs, including CAPI, to operate seamlessly in both ISDN and SS7/ISUP carrier environments.

With the new Diva Server SoftSS7 software, only SS7-relevant parameters need to be configured when installing an application with Diva Server PRI/E1 adapters to operate unchanged in a PSTN using SS7 signaling. Diva Server SoftSS7 is suited for call routing, messaging and 3G video telephony. It can also be used with any application that is directly linked to a carrier network.

The new software supports from 0 to 247 channels or Circuit Identification Codes (CICs) per server. Like all other Diva Server products, all supported applications and connection types can be used in parallel (e.g. fax, analog, VoIP, V.90). In addition, line testers or protocol converters for SIP, Q-SIG, ETSI and SS7 can be implemented on a single multi-PRI adapter. SoftSS7 gives application developers more flexibility. For example, SS7 links and CICs can be operated on single or multiple E1 interfaces. This means that smaller installations can be operated cost effectively with fewer Diva Server adapters.

Diva Server SoftSS7 is downloadable fromhttp://www.eicon.comwith software licenses available for purchase under the following product codes:

Code(s) - Product Name(s):
* 316-050 Diva Server SoftSS7, Base product, (MTP1-3, ISUP), 1 E1 trunk
* M01-050 Diva Server SoftSS7, Software License SS7 signaling, per SS7 link
* M02-050 Diva Server SoftSS7, Software License SS7 trunk, per E1 trunk

In the public telephone network, the SS7 protocol handles tasks including call control, exchange of control data, routing, fee calculation and value-added services (Custom Local Area Signaling Services - CLASS). SS7 is based on packet-mode signaling and a packet-switched transfer of the signaling message via channels with a bandwidth of up to 64 kbit/s.
