scope:

This first part of EN 301 007 defines the requirements for monitoring and measuring in Signalling System No.7 networks (including measurements for message traffic accounting), the requirements for the Message Transfer Part (MTP) and the Signalling Connection Control Part (SCCP) managed objects, and the requirements for the MTP Routing Verification Test (MRVT) of Signalling System No.7 management. It also lists the considerations applicable when inter-connecting Signalling System No.7 networks. The requirements in the present document are based upon ITU-T Recommendations Q.750 [1], Q.751.1 [10], Q.752 to Q.754 [2] to [4], and ETS 300 356-1 [11]. The present document draws upon ITU-T Recommendations Q.750 [1], Q.752 to Q.754 [2] to [4], Q.755 [18] and M.4110 [17] as informative references, for considerations applicable to the inter-connection of Signalling System No.7 networks. NOTE: The requirements of M.4110 [17] are used to derive the considerations in the present document, but the present document does not make any statement as to the applicability or otherwise of M.4110 [17].
