Configure Signaling Communication Network (SCN)

Use this procedure to configure/provision the Signaling Communication Network (SCN) parameters. The SCN configuration consists of static IP routing parameters, and line DCC and LAN-3 parameters.

The SCN is a data communications network for transport of control plane signaling and routing messages between network elements (NEs). The SCN is an IP-based network which provides control channels between the upstream and downstream E-NNI nodes either over DCC or over LAN through an external IP network. Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend supports both LAN (LAN-3 [J18 DLAN]) and DCC (Line DCC) as the physical interfaces of SCN control channels.

The IP forwarding between peers of signaling controllers or routing controllers is supported by static routing for inter-domain forwarding.
