Provisioning a Cisco MGC Node Using Cisco VSPT

Introduction

This chapter provides references for how to use the Cisco Voice Services Provisioning Tool (VSPT) , Release 1.6 and Release 2.2, to provision Cisco Media Gateway Controller (MGC) nodes, such as a Cisco SC2200 Signaling Controller, to support SS7 signaling. Release 1.6 supports the Cisco ASAP Solution and Release 1.3 of the Cisco SS7 Interconnect for Voice Gateways Solution, and Release 2.2 supports Release 2.0 of the Cisco SS7 Interconnect for Voice Gateways Solution.

The Cisco VSPT provides a GUI for the creation, modification, and execution of signaling connections, trunk groups, trunks, routes, and dial plans. It also allows users to import existing configurations for modification and then download the modified configurations to the same or different devices. To simplify operator tasks, such as trunk group provisioning, Cisco VSPT employs a series of wizard-style templates combined with a user interface tailored for provisioning. Cisco VSPT automatically generates the Man Machine Language (MML) or command-line interface (CLI) scripts used to configure the network elements.

Note The Cisco PGW 2200 configured for signaling is also referred to in a variety of documents as the Cisco SC2200, the earlier term.

Target Platforms

The tasks in this chapter address the following components of the Cisco ASAP Solution and the Cisco SS7 Interconnect for Voice Gateways Solution: components of the Cisco MGC node.
