The CD-ROM contains the entire book in searchable PDF, in the new updated and expanded fourth edition of the industry authority on signaling system #7 since 1995. Originally designed for analog telephone networks, SS7 has continually undergone changes to accommodate the ever-evolving world of telecom. Today, SS7 is used for data, voice, video, audio, and voice-over IP networks - and no other resource even comes close to providing such a complete understanding of the signaling network, its architecture, and protocols used to communicate through it like Travis Russell's "Signaling System #7". The author bypasses heavy-handed engineering and mathematical derivations, making this unique guide understandable even to novices and an informative easy-read for experienced pros who need to fill-in some essential knowledge gaps. Each chapter presents a readable discussion, followed by technical details such as parameters, message structures and bit values. Hands-on expert Russell, knowing exactly what you need for a crystal-clear understanding of SS7, also provides the technical details, protocol messages, and application examples. New to this edition is: the new coverage of SS7 over IP; a reorganized chapter structure that covers three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced; and a CD-ROM containing the entire book in searchable PDF. Here is the only resource you'll ever need to fully understand the "how's" and "why's" of Signaling System #7 - once you own it, you'll understand why the "Russell book" is considered indispensable among telecommunication managers, engineers, technicians, and network mangers.

Book Reviews
Signaling System #7 has been a tremendous success over the last few years, thanks to the many readers who have purchased this book. I hear from readers all over the world on a regular basis, and have the opportunity to meet many of you in person. I am always eager to hear comments from my readers, and appreciate the feedback and suggestions you provide. As an author, I discovered long ago that you will never satisfy everyone. Reading some of the reviews here on Amazon leaves me a bit confused however. This is the first I have heard these complaints, and based on the thousands of phone calls, letters, and e-mails I have received regarding this book already, some of these reviews do not match what we have heard directly from readers. Seeing as how these are anonymous, I am left wondering about the legitimacy of some of these reviews. I would welcome these readers to contact me via e-mail and provide suggestions on improvements for the next edition. If you have comments about any of my books, and suggestions on how they can be improved, please feel free to e-mail me at the address below. As many of my readers have already discovered, I always welcome comments and suggestions and enjoy hearing from readers.
