Application Unavailable Result-Code Result-Code or Experimental-Result-Code value to be returned in an Answer message when a message is not successfully routed because RBAR is not available.

If Vendor-Id is configured, this result-code value is encoded as Experimental-Result-Code AVP; otherwise the result-code is encoded as Result-Code AVP.

A code must be entered if either the Send Answer with Result-Code AVP or the Send Answer with Experimental Result-Code AVP option is selected as the Application Unavailable Action.

Format:
  • Selection Text box; numeric
  • Selection pulldown list
Range:
  • Selection box: 1000–5999
