The Signaling Gateway object is a child of the MetaSwitch object.
The Signaling Gateway object contains information about the local signaling point. There is only a single Signaling Gateway object, which is created before delivery of the MetaSwitch NE and cannot be deleted.
For initial configuration of the Signaling Gateway, set the following parameters:
Parameter |
Access |

Point code | Change Inactive | Point code of the local signaling point. Specify this as three decimal numbers in the range 0 - 255, separated by hyphens: for example 123-45-67. |
Signaling point type | Change Inactive | Specifies the role of the MetaSwitch NE in the signaling network. Values:
|
Signaling Gateway name | Change | Unique user-friendly name identifying the local signaling point. Specify a name of up to 30 characters. If a name is not specified, the EMS displays a default. |
Signaling Point Timer Profile | Change | Signaling Point Timer Profile to associate with the local signaling point. Select from the displayed list of profiles. This field defaults to the default signaling point timer profile. |
