Adding a Point Code to the Self-Identification of the EAGLE

This procedure is used to add a true point code to the self-identification of the EAGLE using the ent-sid command. Adding the point code using this procedure instead of the Changing the Self-Identification of the EAGLE procedure does not require the EAGLE to be re-initialized after the point code is added.

However, if you wish to add a capability point code, change an existing true point code, change the CLLI value, or the pctype parameter value in the self-identification, the Changing the Self-Identification of the EAGLE procedure must be used.

The ent-sid command uses these parameters:

:pc/pcaANSI point code

:pciITU-I or ITU-I spare point code

:pcn – 14-bit ITU-N or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code

:pcn24 – 24-bit ITU-N point code

Note:

See Point Code Formats for a definition of the point code types that are used on the EAGLE and for a definition of the different formats that can be used for ITU national point codes.

The network type of the point code being added in this procedure cannot be the same as the network type of any point codes shown in PCA, PCI, PCN, or PCN24 columns in the rtrv-sid output. For example, if an ANSI point code is shown in the rtrv-sid output (a point code in the PCA column), then the pc/pca parameter cannot be specified in this procedure.

However, the self-identification can contain both spare and non-spare point codes for the PCI and PCN values. If the rtrv-sid output contains an ITU-I point code, but does not contain an ITU-I spare point code, the pci parameter can be specified with an ITU-I spare point code value. If spare and non-spare point codes are shown for the PCI value, then the pci parameter cannot be specified in this procedure. This is also true for 14-bit ITU-N and 14-bit ITU-N spare point codes.

The point code of the EAGLE cannot match the capability point codes of the EAGLE or any destination point codes or alias point codes. Capability point code are shown in the rtrv-sid output. Destination point codes and alias point codes are shown in the rtrv-dstn output.

The point code of the EAGLE must be a full point code and cannot be a cluster point code. The point code containing all zeros cannot be used as a value for these parameters.

The point code value for the pcn parameter (either 14-bit ITU-N or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code) must match the format defined by the NPCFMTI parameter of the rtrv-stpopts output. If group codes are shown for the 14-bit ITU-N point codes in the rtrv-sid output, then a group code must be specified with the pcn parameter value. The group code must match the group codes shown in the rtrv-sid or rtrv-spc outputs.

  1. Display the self-identification of the EAGLE using the rtrv-sid command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    If the network type of the point code being added in this procedure matches the network types of the point codes shown in the PCA, PCI, PCN, or PCN24 columns, this procedure cannot be performed. Perform the Changing the Self-Identification of the EAGLE procedure to change the point codes shown in these columns.

    Note:

    If an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code is displayed in the rtrv-sid output in step 1, or if an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code is not being added in this procedure, skip step 2 and go to step 3.
  2. Verify whether or not the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature is enabled by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand with the part number of this feature.

    Enter this command.

    rtrv-ctrl-feat:partnum=893013601

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 07-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 37.0.0
    The following features have been permanently enabled:

    The following features have been temporarily enabled:

    Zero entries found.
    
    The following features have expired temporary keys:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum
    Zero entries found.
    

    If the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature is not enabled, perform the Activating the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support Feature procedure to enable the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature.

    Note:

    If the pcn parameter is not being used in this procedure, skip this step and step 4, and go to step 5.
  3. Display the existing values for the npcfmti parameter, by entering the rtrv-stpopts command.

    The value for the npcfmti parameter is shown in the NPCFMTI field. This is an example of the possible output.

    Note:

    The rtrv-stpopts command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-stpopts command, see the rtrv-stpopts command description in Commands User's Guide.

    Note:

    If the rtrv-sid output in step 1 shows group codes assigned to the 14-bit ITU-N point codes, then a group code must be assigned to the pcn parameter value specified in this procedure. This group code must be shown in either the rtrv-sid output or the rtrv-spc output. If the group code being assigned to the pcn parameter value is shown in the rtrv-sid output, skip step 4 and go to step 5.
  4. Display the secondary point codes in the database, using the rtrv-spc command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

  5. Verify whether or not the point code being added in this procedure is a DPC value in the DPC table by entering the rtrv-dstn command and specifying the point code value that is being added in this procedure. For this example, enter these commands.

    rtrv-dstn:dpci=s-3-75-7

    rtrv-dstn:dpcn=s-7-9-8-1

    When each of these commands have been executed, the following output is displayed showing that the specified point code is not in the DPC table.

    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:16:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    
    No destinations meeting the requested criteria were found
    
    Destination table is (22 of 2000) 1% full
    Alias table is (18 of 8000) 1% full
    
  6. Verify whether or not the point code being added in this procedure is an alias point code in the DPC table by entering the rtrv-dstn command and specifying the point code value that is being added in this procedure. For this example, enter these commands.

    rtrv-dstn:aliasi=s-3-75-7

    rtrv-dstn:aliasn=s-7-9-8-1

    When each of these commands have been executed, the following output is displayed showing that the specified point code is not an alias point code in the DPC table.

    rlghncxa03w 09-05-28 21:16:37 GMT EAGLE5 41.0.0
    
    No destinations meeting the requested criteria were found
    
    Destination table is (22 of 2000) 1% full
    Alias table is (18 of 8000) 1% full
    

    If the point code specified in steps 5 and 6 is shown in the DPC table, choose another point code to add to the self-identification and repeat steps 5 and 6.

    If the point code specified in steps 5 and 6 is not shown in the DPC table, go to step 7.

  7. Add the point code to the self-identification of the EAGLE using the ent-sid command with the pca, pci, pcn, or pcn24 parameters and according to these rules.
    • If the pcn parameter is specified with the ent-sid command, the pcn24 parameter cannot be specified.
    • If the pcn24 parameter is specified with the ent-sid command, the pcn parameter cannot be specified.
    • For pcn parameter values, the format of the point code must match the format defined by the NPCFMTI parameter of the rtrv-stpopts output. If group codes are shown in the rtrv-sid output in step 1, a group code must be assigned to the pcn parameter value being added in this procedure. This group code must be shown either in the rtrv-sid or rtrv-spc output.
    • The point code values must be full point codes.
    • The ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature must be enabled to specify an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code.
    • The point code specified in this procedure cannot be defined as a capability point code.
    • See "ANSI Point Codes" in the Point Code Formats section for information about entering ANSI point codes.

    For this example, enter this command.

    ent-sid:pci=s-3-75-7:pcn=s-7-9-8-1

    When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
