Interconnect SS7 PSTN Switch to AS5350

[rushabhns]

Dear NetPros,

I want to connect the E1 coming out of an Alcatel 1000 S12 Switch into the Cisco AS5350. The Alcatel Switch has SS7 and V5.2 as the standard interfaces. The E1 is a Tx and Rx pair with BNC type terminators. Can anyone suggest me how I can achive this??

Only way to terminate SS7 to an AS5300/5400 is to use an external PGW 2200 SS7 controller. You can't connect and process the SS7 signalling traffic directly on the AS5300 gateway.

You can use a AS5350 or AS5400 as an integrated SLT. Here is more information -

Setting up a SS7 interconnect is a complex undertaking. You might want to do some research on the Cisco web site using the keywords 'PGW2200' 'VSC' 'SLT'
