Introduction
Overview
The Signaling System 7 (SS7) Gateway Configuration Tool (SS7Cfg) provides the interface to
customize the SS7 gateway for a particular network installation. This tool is provided as a separate utility
from the Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management (Unified ICM) setup since it requires specific
knowledge of SS7 networks, nomenclature, and concepts. Therefore, the gateway will be setup initially
with the Unified ICM setup, but will require subsequent configuration utilizing SS7Cfg, usually
performed by a carrier network specialist.

An important feature of SS7Cfg is that you can remotely edit and maintain regedit files (*.reg) that can
then be imported to and exported from the NT Registry with the Windows regedit utility, without
involving the ICM gateway site.

Note
Do not use files exported from Regedt32 because they use a different format for exported registry files
that is incompatible with the format for regedit files.

Upon opening or saving an SS7 configuration Registry file, any configuration problems are flagged by
displaying a dialog box which indicates what the problem is, and asks if you want to continue
loading/saving the new configuration file. In this way, SS7Cfg attempts to enforce the use of consistent
configuration information.

SS7Cfg was designed as a Windows Explorer-type application providing context-sensitive shortcut
menus that display after right-clicking an option.

This tool supports several different gateway types, including AIN, INAP, and Concert, which are all very
similar. The only difference between these gateways is the way some of the parameters are configured
in the application layer.

Before Using SS7Cfg
Before working with SS7Cfg, you should familiarize yourself with the setup and configuration of
Unified ICM. You should also plan out the point codes, subsystem numbers, adjacent connection point
codes, and routing point codes for the gateways you want to configure.
