difference
between the pointcode the adjacent point code and the defaultdpc. I am
trying to obtain these infos from my carrier but he is only giving a single

<pre wrap="">Hi
Thnks for the reply...So say if i want 120 channels over ss7
signalling...will the telco give me 4 E1s and 1 separate E1 for ss7
signalling or will the ss7 be in one of the 4 E1s
itself..?
</pre></blockquote>
<pre wrap="">Sometimes. It depends on what you negotiate with the telco
you're
interconnecting with. Some of them like to waste an E1 on a single
signalling link though. And even stupider ones waste a single E1 on
two signalling links. It seems ridiculous to mandate redundant
signalling links and have them running over the same E1 (Don't
ask,
I had somebody come to me having to deal with
that).
But in any case, you can negotiate with them how you would like to
set it up
typically.

<pre wrap="">Yes :-) And configure

<pre wrap="">If you need answers to that question, you probably need to
research
more into what SS7
is.
Typically, you have a more reliable link since you can have
redundant signalling channels. The protocol also supports a lot
more bearers per signalling link than you can do in PRI (or even
NFAS
PRI).
