TCAP configuration
Starting with version 2.3, Toolpack fully exposes SCCP and TCAP stack functionality in the Toolpack web portal, making it easier to access TCAP, as well as all new Toolpack features, programmatically.

Prerequisites
Fully implementing the revised Toolpack TCAP support will require that your telephony application interface via the Toolpack application programming interface (API). This will also require migrating settings from the configuration file and entering those settings via Toolpack Web portal. Please note that using the new TCAP functionality requires an existing TCAP-based application. While TelcoBridges does not provide a full sample application as with the TB Media Gateway application, there is a sample application that is available to learn how to use the TelcoBridges TCAP API.
Prior to configuring TCAP support, you should have configured all relevant MTP2 and MTP3 information. You should also have a good idea of how you are going to use TCAP functionality once it is activated. This includes information related to SSN, such as destination, origin point codes, etc.
Steps
- The first step is to configure SCCP and TCAP via the Toolpack web portal.
- You configure SCCP in Global > Configurations > Hardware > SS7 > SCCP.
- You configure TCAP support via Global > Configurations > Hardware > SS7 > TCAP.
- The next step is to Activate the new configuration, which is performed in the configuration in Global > Systems. There you select the system to which you want to apply the configuration, clicking Edit besides its name. In the new page that opens, click Activate in the Active Configuration section.
- Once SCCP and TCAP are configured, you can start your TCAP application using the tbx_ss7_ha_tcapctrl library.
- Please note that the application name must be the name in the TCAP user part configuration, preceded by “TCAP_CTRL_” . For example, the TCAP user part configuration name is TCAP_ITU_6, then your application name must be TCAP_CTRL_TCAP_ITU_6.For further information, please refer to the User Guide that is included with the core Toolpack installation as well as the TCAP sample code provided with Toolpack.
