Signaling Points
The SPs are the sources (originating
points) and the sinks (destination points)
of signaling traffic. In a communication
network these are primarily the exchanges
All SPs in the signaling network are
identified by means of a code within the
framework of a corresponding numbering
plan and, therefore, can be directly
addressed in a signaling message.
Signalling Links
A signaling link consists of a signaling data
link (two data channels operating together
in opposite directions at the same data
rate) and its transfer control functions.
A channel of an existing transmission link
is used as the signaling data link
Signalling Links
Generally, more than one signaling link
exists between two SPs in order to
provide redundancy
In the case of failure of a signaling link,
signaling traffic is rerouted to fault-free
alternative routes.
All the signaling links between two SPs
are combined in a signaling link set.
Signalling Modes
Associated mode : The signaling link is
routed together with the circuit group
belonging to the link . The signaling link is
directly connected to SPs which are also
the terminal points of the circuit group.
This mode of signaling is recommended
when the capacity of the traffic between
the SPs is heavily utilized.

SIGNALING LINK
Quasi-associated Mode
The signaling link and the speech circuit
group run along different routes. The
signaling for the circuit group is carried out
via one or more defined STPs This
signaling mode is favourable for traffic
relations with low capacity utilization, as the
same signaling link can be used for several
destinations.
Quasi-associated Mode
Signalling Routes
The route defined for the signalling
between an originating point and a
destination point is called the signalling
route. The signalling traffic between two
SPs can be distributed over several
different signalling routes. All signalling
routes between two SPs are combined in
a signalling route set.
