Application development for the DSI SS7MDL4 is accelerated by a comprehensive suite of test utilities, sample code, and user-part programming guides. The DSI SS7MDL4 delivers the high-capacity message-signaling-units-per-second performance required for demanding value- added services such as messaging, call completion/prepaid calling, roaming, and intelligent network applications. Flexible Licensing The DSI SS7MDL4 can be licensed and deployed with a number of different link capacities and network protocols to allow scaled pricing to match the levels of throughput required. See the table of order codes at the end of this datasheet for a list of options. Easy Migration for Existing Signaling Applications ® ® Existing signaling-only applications using Dialogic DSI APIs or the Dialogic Global Call API for SS7 and currently deployed with DSI SS7HDP or DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards can be executed on systems configured with the DSI SS7MDL4 without programming changes in the service logic. Applications using the CT bus functionality of the DSI SS7HD or DSI SPCI Boards will ® require modification to use the drop-and-insert feature of the DSI SS7MDL4. Alternatively, other Dialogic products that support the CT bus or combined signaling and media may be used. Contact your Dialogic sales representative for information on other Dialogic products and capabilities. 2 ® Datasheet Dialogic DSI SS7MDL4 Network Interface Board ® Dialogic DSI Network Interface Boards Technical Specifications Digital interfaces 4 T1, E1, J1 (software selectable on a per trunk basis) High impedance selectable for monitoring Selectable synchronization source from any line interface Telecom clock management Configurable LT (clock slave) or NT (clock master) mode Internal and external loop back capability Pulse mask T-1 ANSI T1.403 E-1 ITU-T G.703 Data rate T-1 1544 Kb/s ± 50 ppm E-1 2048 Kb/s ± 50 ppm Frame format T-1 D4, ESF, and ESF-CRC6 E-1 E1 and E1-CRC4 Line codes HDB3, B8ZS Connector type RJ-48C Maximum boards/system 4 Host interface PCI Express compatible as a 4-lane (x4) physical form factor with a single lane connected that can be installed in 4, 8, or 16 lane PCI Express slots Bus speed 1 x PCI-Express lane (2.5 Gb/s, full-duplex) Capacity Channelized links 16 to 124 channelized 64 Kb/s MTP low-speed links (LSL) High-speed links 2 or 4 high-speed, Q.703 Annex A links (HSL), framed T1/E1 2 or 4 ATM links, AAL5 with IMA capability Link configuration Selection between low-speed links and high-speed links is made via software on a per trunk basis Protocol execution MTP2 on board, higher levels on host Network protocol execution Q.SAAL/GR-2878 SS7 (MTP1 & MTP2) HDLC monitoring Passive monitoring of HDLC format data links including, SS7, LAPB, LAPD, ISDN, and DPNSS Performance MSUs per second: 30,000 MTP calls per second: 7,800 MTP transactions per second: 5,600 ATM calls per second: 4,100 ATM transactions per second: 5,200 Stated performance achieved using a single board in a multi-core computer (8 x 1.6 GHz) 3 ® Datasheet Dialogic DSI SS7MDL4 Network Interface Board ® Dialogic DSI Network Interface Boards Technical Specifications (continued) Platform Form factor Low-profile Dimensions 2.7 in.

Contact your ® Dialogic sales representative for status of Windows support. See the application note at www.dialogic.com/systemreleases for details about the operating systems currently supported. DevPaks contain device drivers and the tools necessary for developing complex multichannel applications, including a native SS7 API that allows full access to the SS7 messages. Hardware System Requirements The DSI SS7MDL4 can be installed in workstations or rack-mount servers with low-profile or full-height PCI Express 4, 8, or 16 lane slots. The DSI SS7MDL4 is a high performance board capable of delivering over 30,000 MTP2 packets per second. To achieve this level of performance, state-of-the-art processors operating at high clock frequencies are used. At the same time, to address the requirements of current server designs, the board is presented in a low profile, PCI Express form factor, with less than 1/3 of the surface area of a full PCI or PCI Express board. When high power components are combined in a board with a small area, heat dissipation becomes an important design consideration.
