SS7 Signaling Network Monitoring and Traffic Analysis System (SGA-7TA) |
Download PDF brochure
The SGA-7TA monitoring system was designed expressly for monitoring fixed networks of any size. It monitors SS7 signaling links directly without using the operator's system resources. Signaling information is captured bit-by-bit for analysis, including message statistics, detailed call data records and real time call tracing. It is an ideal tool for operators to locate faults and frauds in fixed networks.
Main features
Monitors SS7 signaling links to record all ISUP messages;
Generates call records (CDR) from the collected messages;
Generates periodical call statistics;
Generates comprehensive message statistics;
Centralized remote administration.
Operating principles
The system is connected to the operator's SS7 network;
Collects ISUP messages;
Stores ISUP messages in a circular buffer;
Provides periodic and ad hoc statistical information (general, signaling link, message statistics - based on ITU-T recommendations);
Remote access to statistical, event and call records as well as bit-by-bit message data.
Miscellaneous functions
Adjustable logging levels ('Off', 'Normal', 'Detailed', 'Debug');
System wide alarm handling.
Hardware
The basic hardware components of the SGA-7TA system are
- The Monitoring units (containing the SGA cards), simply referred to as "Monitors", which are connected to the:
- Operator's bi-directional SS7 links;
- SGA-7TA server;
- SGA-7TA clients.
- The SGA-7TA server, which is connected to the:
