Signaling System Network Control (SSNC)

General Characteristics of the SSNC:

In the EWSD powernode the SSNC takes over the control of the SS7 network (instead of CCNC as was used in EWSD Classic). Here SSNC can be used as signaling end point (SEP) or signaling transfer point (STP) as was also done by CCNC.

Additionally the SSNC can also take over the tasks of a SCCP Relay Point SRP (Global Title Translation GTT for MTP users at non-user channel related SS7 signaling) and can function as a Local Number Portability Database Server.

In Contrast to the CCNC, the SSNC is equipped with its own O&M interface to the Netmanager NetM (Ethernet IP interface with Q3 protocol) and with back-up memories (magnetic disk / magneto-optic disk). Therefore with regard to the OAM, it is independent of the CP. Thus it is possible to also use the SSNC outside of EWSD as a stand-alone Signaling Transfer Point STP.
