There are 2 options for using this gateway based on tasks to be solved.
SS7 to SIP Gateway
Option 1 is used when it is required to replace the TDM Switch with the SoftSwitch. If multiple subscriber nodes are connected to the TDM Switch over the SS7 interface they can be switched to the SoftSwitch using the gateway as indicated on the following figure.
In this case the SS7 interface disconnects from the TDM Switch and connects to the gateway that is connected to the SoftSwitch via the SIP data communications network.

Option 2 is used when it is required to connect VoIP subscribers from the local network to the PSTN number capacity. If the operator has the existing TDM Switch with free SS7 interfaces the gateway on the TDM network side looks as the SS7 subscriber node while on the IP network side it looks as the IP Telephone Exchange where IP subscribers register (please see the figure).

IP-PBX supporting value added services
This functionality allows using the gateway as IP-PBX that can register up to 1000 SIP subscribers and provide them with value added services. In addition the gateway software allows to “display” TDM network subscribers (for example, subscribers of remote exchange capacities connected to the gateway over V5.2) with SIP accounts of VoIP network with assigned authentication parameters.
