which transport are you using: SS7 over IP (Sigtran) or TDM?
If you are using SS7 over IP you can just use Ethereal in the same way as with using any other IP protocol, If you are using SS7 over TDM (E1/T1/J1), please refer to the wiki page: http://wiki.ethereal.com/CaptureSetup/SS7 or http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200510/msg00125.html.
Note also that he said "decode", so he might want to decode traffic that was captured with some other network capture software or hardware. If so, Ethereal would need to be able to read the capture file; we can read some capture files from other hardware and software (such as some of Tektronix's K12xx-series analyzers).
