scope:

This standard addresses the testing required for internetwork connections employing Common Channel Signalling (CCS) based on Signalling System No. 7 (SS7) protocol used in North America. The internetwork connection may be either within or between North American countries. This standard provides a list of test scripts for testing compatibility between the interconnecting networks of the Signalling Connection Control Part (SCCP) Class 0 of the SS7 protocol. This standard references material in T1 SS7 protocol standards. (See clause 2.)

Purpose

This standard provides a uniform methodology for testing the compatibility of the SCCP Class 0 of the SS7 protocol associated with the implementation of Signalling Points (SPs) of interconnected networks.
