An E-Learning Course Which Provides a Detailed Treatment of the Principles and Operation of C7 Signalling Systems in Both Fixed and Mobile Telephony Networks.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c39120) has announced the addition of E-Learning Course: C7 Signalling Systems to their offering. "C7 Signalling Systems" provides a detailed treatment of the principles and operation of C7 signalling systems. Individual chapters explore the various aspects of this inter-exchange signalling system including use of C7 in the ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. , the provision of advanced services and the use of C7 in mobile radio networks. Introduction: C7 signalling conforms to an international standard and is used throughout the world in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network. Once only an analog system, the heart of most telephone networks today is all digital. In the U.S. ) and the Integrated Services Digital Network Integrated services digital network (ISDN) A generic term referring to the integration of communications services transported over digital facilities such as wire pairs, coaxial cables, optical fibers, microwave radio, and satellites. (ISDN). C7 is used in conjunction with the Intelligent Network (IN) to provide enhanced call facilities and also has an important role in the operation of mobile telephony services. C7 is also used over the interface between the PSTN and Voice over IP systems. Course aim: This course provides a detailed treatment of the principles and operation of C7 signalling systems in both fixed and mobile telephony networks. Pre-requisites: Understanding of issues relating to the provision of a public telephone service including numbering, switching and the role of signalling in a telephony system. It is recommended that MediaNet course A: "Voice switching" is studied before attempting this course. "C7 Signalling Systems" forms part of the MediaNet suite of courses. MediaNet --is a suite of interactive, multimedia e-learning courses designed to run under Windows(TM) 2000 Professional or XP. --provides training in the technical aspects of delivering voice and video services. --consists of three separate but integrated courses: A Voice switching B Voice over IP C C7 signalling Each MediaNet course: --provides several hours of in-depth, authoritative technical training --employs interactive simulations, hypertext links and question sessions to fully involve the trainee in the learning experience. --provides personalised training with each trainee able to make his/her on notes and place bookmarks. A record of progress and level of achievement is recorded for each trainee. --provides a structured assessed course and can also be used to browse for revision or reference. --can be studied in isolation or as an integrated suite; each chapter of a course includes revision links to relevant subjects covered in the other MediaNet courses. Target audience: MediaNet is designed for: --Those studying for a career in telecommunications and who require a detailed knowledge of telephony and video systems. --Technical staff involved in the operation, installation or maintenance of systems that deliver telephony and/or video-based services. Course Content Introduction to C7 signalling: review of the advantages of Common Channel Signalling (CCS (1) (Common Channel Signaling) A communications system in which one channel is used for signaling and different channels are used for voice/data transmission. Signaling System 7 (SS7) is a CCS system, also known as CCS7. See SS7. ) modes of operation of CCS systems role of the various components of a CCS signalling network inc. Service Switching Point In telephony, a Service Switching Point (SSP) is the telephone exchange that initially responds, when a telephone caller dials a number, by sending a query to a central database called a Service Control Point (SCP) so that the call can be handled. (SSP (1) (Service Switching Point) The local exchange node in an SS7 telephone network. The SSP can be part of the voice switch or in a separate computer connected to it. ). Signalling Transfer Point (STP STP or standard temperature and pressure, standard conditions for measurement of the properties of matter. The standard temperature is the freezing point of pure water, 0°C; or 273.15°K;. ) and Service Switching Point (SSP) and Service Control Point (SCP) signalling network structure relationship between the protocols used in C7 systems and their roles. Message transfer: Introduction to the concept of MTP signal units structure of the different types of signal unit significance and role of a message routing label error correction mechanisms. MTP signalling link and route management: Operation and role of link changeover and forced rerouting structure of a management signal unit significance of the various management messages. The Telephony User Part (TUP (Telephone User Part) See SS7. ) of C7: Role of the TUP format of TUP signalling messages sequence of events for call set-up and release TUP supplementary services disadvantages of TUP. The ISDN User Part The ISDN User Part or ISUP is part of the Signaling System #7 which is used to set up telephone calls in Public Switched Telephone Networks. It is specified by the ITU-T as part of the Q.76x series, ANSI (T1.113-YEAR) and Telcordia former Bellcore GR-246 series. ISUP (ISDN User Part) See SS7. ) of C7: Advantages and features of ISUP format of ISUP signalling messages basic call set-up and provision of supplementary services using ISUP end-to-end and user-to-user signalling. The Signalling Connection Control Part (SCCP (Signaling Connection Control Point) A layer 3 protocol in an SS7 network that routes a message to the appropriate database. SCCP is used in conjunction with the TCAP protocol for sending queries to databases. See SS7 and TCAP. See also SSCP. ) of C7: The role of SCCP SCCP classes of operation the structure of SCCP messages global title translation information retrieval from remote databases. The Intelligent Network Application Part (INAP (Intelligent Network Application Part) An IN (Intelligent Network) protocol used in a European SS7 network to query databases for a variety of functions not related to call setup and tear down. INAP uses the ASN.1 standard for defining message content. See SS7 and ASN.1. ) of C7: The functional and physical elements of an Intelligent Network the role of the INAP Application Service Elements (ASE (Adaptive Server Enterprise) A relational DBMS from Sybase that runs on Windows NT/2000, Linux and a variety of Unix platforms. ASE is a comprehensive and robust data management product with a long history dating back to the late 1980s. ), operation and parameters demonstrations of typical INAP operations. The Mobile Application Part (MAP) of C7: Review of the functional and physical elements of a GSM network and GSM network numbering the role of the MAP MAP services, dialogues and parameters demonstrations of the use of MAP in locating a mobile, setting up incoming and outgoing mobile calls, and call handover. As a communications service provider A Communications Service Provider or CSP is a company that transports information electronically. The term encompasses public and private companies in the wireline, wireless, Internet, cable, satellite, and managed services businesses. based "off shore" we have found that the e-learning courses provide high quality and excellent content training to our engineers without the need to arrange expensive flights out of the island truly cost effective" - Bill Barker, training and development manager, Jersey Telecom For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c39120 |
