Definition
Signaling System Number 7 (SS#7) is the protocol used by the telephone companies for interoffice signaling. In the past, in-band signaling techniques were used on interoffice trunks. This method of signaling used the same physical path for both the call-control signaling and the actual connected call. This method of signaling is inefficient and is rapidly being replaced by out-of-band or common-channel signaling techniques

The DATA-link level provides a reliable transfer of signaling messages between two directly connected signaling points over one individual signaling data link. The link-level functions include: Delimiting of frames. Alignment of frames. Error detection.(Basic & PCR) Error correction by retransmission. Initial alignment of data link.

USAGE OF CBA
In message signal units (MSUs), the service information octet (SIO) is used to perform message distribution. This octet is divided into a four-bit service indicator (SI) and a four-bit subservice field. This subservice field is further divided into a two-bit network-indicator code and two bits that are spare if the indicator code is 00 or 01, or are available for national use if the indicator code is 10 or 11.

Answer Message (ANM). Sent in the backward direction to indicate that the call has been answered and that metering or measurement of call duration can start. Call Progress Message (CPG). Sent in either direction during the setup or active phase of the call, indicating that an event has occurred which is of significance and which should be relayed to the originating or terminating access.
Release Message (REL). Sent to indicate that the circuit is being released.
Charge Information Message (CIM). Sent for accounting and/or charging purposes. Confusion Message (CFN). Sent in response to any message the exchange does not recognise.
