Default CAMEL Gateway Configuration

You can use configuration parameters in create_config.py to define default configuration for CAMEL Gateway.

Sample CAMEL Gateway Defaults Configuration

CAMEL Gateway Defaults Configuration describes default CAMEL Gateway configuration parameters and lists their default values. MATRIXX Support recommends you accept the default values.
Table 1. CAMEL Gateway Defaults Configuration
Parameter Description Default Value
Advanced Link Configuration Accept the default value: n. Answer y to only answer additional questions on advanced link configuration between Network Enabler and CAMEL Gateway.
Note: Advanced link configuration is not required for most deployments.

create_config.info question: Do you want to prompt for advanced link configuration (y/n)?

 n
Transport Protocol The protocol to use for links between Network Enablers and CAMEL Gateway. You can use SCTP instead of TCP, if required.

create_config.info question: What is the transport protocol?

 TCP
Remote Port The Network Enabler port number. Enter '.' to specify a port number for each link. Otherwise, the specified port number is used for all links.

If you do not specify a port number or you enter 0, the outward connection uses the standard M3UA port number: 2905.

create_config.info question: What is the remote port?

 29050
Link Initiation Type Determines how connections between CAMEL Gateway and Network Enablers are initiated. Enter:
  • connect to enable CAMEL Gateway to initiate connections.
  • listen to enable CAMEL Gateway to listen for connection requests.
  • both to enable CAMEL Gateway to initiate connections and to accept connection requests.
  • . to specify link initiation per link.

create_config.info question: What is the link initiation?

 .
SIGTRAN Network Role Whether CAMEL Gateway is acting as an application server process (ASP) or a signaling server process (SGP). Enter '.' to specify the network role per link.

create_config.info question: What is the SIGTRAN network role?

 .
SIGTRAN Traffic Mode Determines how traffic is distributed across ASPs:
  • In loadshare mode traffic is distributed across all active ASPs.
  • In override mode, the ASP handles all traffic in an Application Server and overrides any active ASPs.

create_config.info question: What is the SIGTRAN traffic-mode to use?

 loadshare
M3UA Link State Management Accept the default value: n. Answer y to only actively manage M3UA link states.
Note: It is not necessary to actively manage M3UA link states in most deployments.

create_config.info question: Do you want the M3UA link state to be actively managed (y/n)?

 n
Advanced Route

Configuration

Accept the default value: n. Answer y to only answer additional questions on advanced route configuration.
Note: Advanced route configuration is not required for most deployments.

create_config.info question: Do you want to prompt for advanced route configuration (y/n)?

 n
Route Priority A value between 0 and 4292967295 that determines the routing priority for incoming sessions. Routes with a priority of 0 (zero) have the highest priority.
Accept the default value: 0 if SIGTRAN Traffic Mode is set to loadshare. Specify a routing priority only if there is more than one available route.
Note: Route priority configuration applies to all routes. Enter '.' to set the priority per route.

create_config.info question: What is the priority of this route?

 0
Originating Point Code

The originating point code. Enter '.' to specify per route.

create_config.info question: What is the originating point-code?

 .
Routing Context A value between –1 and 4292967295. If you set the routing context, the specified value is sent in M3UA messages. To accept the default, leave blank.

create_config.info question: What is the routing-context?
SCMG Messages Whether CAMEL Gateway sends SCCP management messages on this route. Enter '.' to specify per route.

create_config.info question: Do you want SCCP SCMG messages sent on this route (y/n)?

 n
Maximum SCCP Segment Size The maximum size of segments sent in messages. Specify a value in the range 0 to 3952:
  • 0 for UDT messages. This is the default value.
  • 1 to 272 for XUDT messages. The specified value is the maximum segment size.
  • >272 for LUDT messages. LUDT messages are not segmented and the specified value is the maximum LUDT payload data size.
Note: The SCCP segment size configuration applies to all routes. Enter '.' to configure SCCP segment size per route.

create_config.info question: What is the maximum SCCP segment size?

 0
