What Is SONUS-TCAP-CLIENT-SERVICES-MIB?
SONUS-TCAP-CLIENT-SERVICES-MIB is a vendor MIB from Sonus Networks for managing TCAP (Transaction Capabilities Application Part) client service instances used in SS7-based signaling, such as connections to Service Control Points (SCPs) for database queries (e.g., number portability or intelligent network services). It exposes SCP client administrative configuration including carrier and node association, point code (PC) and subsystem number (SSN) addressing, transaction timeout, connection type, and signaling protocol. This is a software/service-status monitoring MIB used to confirm TCAP client connections to external SCPs are correctly configured and healthy, which is essential to ensure dependent call features (like number lookups) succeed rather than timing out. It depends on the SONUS-SMI enterprise root and works alongside SONUS-SS7-SERVICES-MIB, since TCAP client services ride on top of the underlying SS7/MTP signaling gateway configuration. Typical deployment context is carrier SS7 networks where a Sonus softswitch node performs TCAP-based queries to external SCPs as part of call processing. Engineers can download the SONUS-TCAP-CLIENT-SERVICES-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SONUS-TCAP-CLIENT-SERVICES-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- Sonus Networks (Ribbon Communications) softswitch with TCAP/SS7 client services
Monitoring Examples
An admin would poll sonusScpAdmnTable/sonusScpAdmnEntry to verify sonusScpAdmnPc and sonusScpAdmnSsn addressing match the intended SCP, and check sonusScpAdmnTimeout to ensure it is appropriately tuned for the SCP's expected response time. A rise in TCAP query timeouts correlated with a specific sonusScpAdmnName entry would point to connectivity or performance issues with that particular external SCP. The sonusScpAdmnProtocol and sonusScpAdmnType fields would be checked after a configuration change to confirm the client is using the expected signaling variant.
What Can Be Monitored
- SCP client point code/subsystem number configuration
- TCAP transaction timeout
- SCP connection/protocol type
- per-client carrier/node association
