SIGNALLING- Purpose
Transfer of meaningful Information
with a specific purpose.
The telecom network establishes and releases
connections based on the various information/
instructions sent/ received in the form of
signals.
The interchange of such information i.e. signals-
are in a well defined pattern and follows certain
syntax and protocols.

Line signalling -
• For interchanging the physical status of the
line.
• Operates throughout during the call.
Register signalling -
For exchanging digit information.
• This is used only while sending/ receiving
address information
• Only during the phase of setting up of a call.

CCS-7 Network
Signalling System-7 separates the information
required to set up and manage telephone calls
in the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN) onto a separate packet switched
network (The signalling Network) rather than
use the same circuit switched network that the
telephone call is made on (The Voice Network).

SP (Signalling Points)
The nodes in the SS7 network are called Signalling Points
(SPs). Each SP is identified by a unique address called a
point code. SPs have the ability to read a point code and
determine if the message is for that node and the ability to
route SS7 messages to another SP.
Originating Point (OP)
The signalling Point (SP) at which the signalling message is
generated. It is identified by an Originating Point Code
(OPC).
Destination Point (DP)
The signalling Point (SP) to which the signalling message is
destined. It is identified by a Destination Point Code (DPC).

MTP
The MTP ensures that the messages reach the
addressed UP in correct order without
information loss, duplication, sequence
alteration and without any errors.

Network Hierarchy
signalling network is divided in to 3 levels.
1. Local
2. National
3. Inter national
These levels are functionally independent of
each other. Each network has it’s own
numbering plans for the SPs.
