GTA Range to PC Elements

Table 5-4 describes the fields on the MAP-Diameter IWF > Configuration > GTA Range to PC page. Data Input Notes apply to Insert and Edit pages; the View page is Read-only.

Table 5-4 GTA Range to PC Elements

Field (* indicates a required field) Description Data Input Notes
Default Configuration For each Signaling Network (ITUI, ITUN, or ANSI), a default Point Code configuration can optionally be specified. The default Point Codes will be used if Global Title Address digits are queried but no GTA Range to PC match is found. Format: check box

Range = Yes, No, N/A

Default: No (Unchecked) for ITU/ITUN; N/A for ANSI

Global Title Start Global Title Address (GTA) start digits. Along with the GTA End digits, this forms a GTA Range. The GTA Range (within a given Signaling Network) is mapped to the Point Codes of the primary Signaling Gateway (SG) and the secondary (mate) SG. When translating a Diameter Request message to a MAP Request message, the configured GTA Ranges are queried to see if the derived GTA digits fall within a configured GTA Range. Format: text box

Range: 1-21 digits

Default: N/A

Global Title End Global Title Address (GTA) end digits. Format: text box

Range: 1-21 digits

Default: N/A

Signaling Network Signaling Network (ITUI, ITUN, or ANSI) that the given GTA Range (or default configuration) applies to. Format: text box

Range: ITUI, ITUN, or ANSI

Default: ITUI

*Primary Point Code Point Code of the primary Signaling Gateway (SG) that is associated with the given GTA Range (or default configuration). Format: text box

ITU International (ITUI) Point Code format: J-NNN-J

ITU International Point (ITUI) Code range: Each J can be 0-7, Each NNN can be 0-255

ITU National Point (ITUN) Code format: NNNNN

ITU National (ITUN) Point Code range: NNNNN can be 0-16383

ANSI Point Code format: NNN-NNN-NNN

ANSI Point Code range: Each NNN can be 0-255

Secondary Point Code Point Code of the secondary (mate) Signaling Gateway (SG) that is associated with the given GTA Range (or default configuration). Format: text box

Range: A valid Point Code for the given Signaling Network type

Default: N/A

Load Sharing Load Sharing indicates, when translating Diameter Request messages, the algorithm to use when routing MAP messages to the Primary and Secondary (mate) Signaling Gateways.

Active/Active (Round Robin): when routing the MAP Request messages, alternate between the Primary and Secondary Point Codes in round-robin fashion if both PCs are configured and available. If there is only one Point Code configured, or only one Point Code is available, then mesages are routed to only that Point Code.

Active/Standby: MAP Request messages are routed to the Primary Point Code if it is available. If the Primary Point Code is not available, the messages are routed to the Secondary Point Code (assuming it is configured and available). If there is only one Point Code configured, the messages are routed to only that Point Code.

Solitary: MAP Request messages are routed to a single Point Code. This will be the Primary Point Code.

Format: radio buttons

Range: Active/Active, Active/Standby, Solitary

Default: Solitary
