Methods, apparatuses and systems for transitioning from a signaling system 7 network to a data network at a signaling system 7 gateway

摘要

The present invention provides a method of transitioning messages from a Signaling System 7 Network to a data network at a Signaling System 7 Gateway. The method is accomplished by receiving one or more Signaling System 7 messages at the Signaling System 7 Gateway, determining states of accessability of one or more extended capability codes listed within the Signaling System 7 gateway, where each extended capability code corresponds to one or more signaling end points within the data network, terminating the Signaling System 7 messages at the Signaling System 7 Gateway, determining the accessability of the signaling end points associated with the Signaling System 7 messages, and routing the Signaling System 7 messages based upon the accessability of the signaling end points.
