6.1 Configuring Links on the Ater Interface

This topic describes how to configure links on the Ater interface for the signaling transmission
between the GMPS or the GEPS and the GTCS. The links on the Ater interface are the Ater
connection path, Ater OML, and Ater signaling link.

6.1.1 Configuring the Ater Connection Path

This topic describes how to configure the connection path between the GMPS and the GTCS
as well as between the GEPS and the GTCS on the Ater interface.
2.
6.1.2 Adding an Ater OML

When the GTCS is configured on the MSC side, you have to add an Ater OML between
the GMPS and the main GTCS. The Ater OML transmits the OM information to the GTCS.

When the GTCS is configured on the MSC side, the Ater connection path between the
GMPS or GEPS and the GTCS must be configured with an Ater signaling link. The Ater
signaling link transmits the signaling of service control, TC resource management, and Ater
transmission resource management.
