Description: The SS7 Protocols course provides an in-depth look at the structure and supporting documents of this widely-deployed signaling protocol. A thorough understanding of its structure, use and deployment is essential to anyone operating, managing or maintaining today’s complex telephony network. Emphasis is placed on underlying documentation that supports the protocol’s structure and use in trunk setup and application services.

Many exercises are provided throughout the course, re-enforcing a practical understanding of the material. This gives the student practice in analyzing the SS7 protocol and understanding how the data being sent and received is used.
What You Will Learn: This course will give the
student the structure of the protocol down to the binary level. Emphasis is placed on giving the student the
ability to isolate and sectionalize troubleshooting in the Common Channel
Signaling (CCS) network. There is also a
thorough examination of the feature services that are deployed today and how
the network and the SS7 protocol support those services.
Who Will Benefit From This Course: This course will be an
invaluable tool for those individuals responsible for maintenance and surveillance
of the voice or signaling network. This
is especially true for personnel working in a control center environment such
as the NOC, INAC, ESAC, etc. Anyone
responsible for maintaining services on the intelligent network platform would
also benefit. Others would include network
or traffic engineers, technical support and interconnection specialists.
Course Prerequisites: A basic knowledge of
telephony and signaling would be helpful, but not essential.
