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
