Signaling Destination

Each Signaling Destination object is a child of the Signaling Gateway object.

The Signaling Destination object contains information about a destination signaling point. There is a Signaling Destination object for each adjacent signaling point, and for each telephone exchange to which the MetaSwitch VP3000 has a direct voice trunk. You should create a Signaling Destination object each time a new adjacent signaling point or a direct voice trunk to another telephone exchange is added.
