Activating the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support Feature

This feature allows ITU international (ITU-I) and 14-bit ITU national (ITU-N) spare point codes to be provisioned in the database. To provision these point codes, the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature must be enabled with the enable-ctrl-feat command. Turning this feature on with the chg-ctrl-feat command allows the EAGLE to route messages using ITU-I and 14-bit ITU-N spare point codes.

The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature by inputting the feature’s access key and the feature’s part number with these parameters:

:fak – The feature access key provided by Oracle. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number of the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature, 893013601.

Once this feature is enabled, it is permanently enabled. This feature cannot be enabled with a temporary feature access key.

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires that the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE, and that this serial number is locked. This can be verified with the rtrv-serial-num command. The EAGLE is shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number is not locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the EAGLE is on-site, with the ent-serial-num command. The ent-serial-num command uses these parameters.

:serial – The serial number assigned to the EAGLE. The serial number is not case sensitive.

:lock – Specifies whether or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value, yes, which locks the serial number. Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.

Note:

To enter and lock the EAGLE’s serial number, the ent-serial-num command must be entered twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the serial parameter, then again with the serial and the lock=yes parameters to lock the serial number. You should verify that the serial number in the database is correct before locking the serial number. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).

The chg-ctrl-feat command uses these parameters:

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number of the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature, 893013601.

:status=on – used to turn the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support on.

The status of the controlled features in the EAGLE is shown with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

Once the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support is enabled, ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point codes can be added to the EAGLE. To do this, perform these procedures to provision these database entities.

To add spare point codes to the self identification of the EAGLE - Adding a Point Code to the Self-Identification of the EAGLE procedure
To change the self identification of the EAGLE to include spare point codes - Changing the Self-Identification of the EAGLE procedure.
To add spare point codes to the DPC table - Adding a Destination Point Code procedure.
To use spare point codes as the adjacent point code of a linkset - Adding an SS7 Linkset .
To add signaling links to the linkset - Adding an SS7 Signaling Link procedure.
To use spare point codes as the DPC of a route - Perform one of the “Adding a Route” procedures in SS7 Configuration.

Display the controlled features in the database by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.
This is an example of the possible output.

The following features have expired temporary keys:

```
If the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature is enabled, the entry Spare Point Code Support is shown in the permanently enabled section of the rtrv-ctrl-feat output. If the status of the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature is on, no further action can be performed.

If the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support is enabled but not turned on (shown by the entry off in the Status column), continue the procedure with 7.

If the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support is not enabled, continue the procedure with 2 .
Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command.
Note:
If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in 1 shows any controlled features, continue the procedure with 6. If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIMSLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, 2 through 5 must be performed.

This is an example of the possible output.
```
rlghncxa03w 07-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 37.0.0
System serial number = nt00001231

System serial number is not locked.

rlghncxa03w 07-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 37.0.0
Command Completed
```
Note:
If the serial number is correct and locked, continue the procedure with 6. If the serial number is correct but not locked, continue the procedure with 5. If the serial number is not correct, but is locked, this feature cannot be enabled and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed. Contact the Customer Care Center to get an incorrect and locked serial number changed. Refer to My Oracle Support (MOS) for the contact information. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).
Enter the correct serial number into the database using the ent-serial-num command with the serial parameter.
For this example, enter this command.

ent-serial-num:serial=<EAGLE’s correct serial number>

When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 07-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 37.0.0
ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Verify that the serial number entered into 3 was entered correctly using the rtrv-serial-num command.
This is an example of the possible output.
```
rlghncxa03w 07-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 37.0.0

System serial number is not locked.

rlghncxa03w 07-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 37.0.0
Command Completed
```
If the serial number was not entered correctly, repeat 3 and 4 and re-enter the correct serial number.
Lock the serial number in the database by entering the ent-serial-num command with the serial number shown in 2, if the serial number shown in 2 is correct, or with the serial number shown in 4, if the serial number was changed in 3, and with the lock=yes parameter.
For this example, enter this command.

ent-serial-num:serial=<EAGLE’s serial number>:lock=yes

When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 07-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 37.0.0
ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Enable the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature by entering the enable-ctrl-feat command.
For this example, enter this command.

enable-ctrl-feat:partnum=893013601:fak=<ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature access key>

Note:
The values for the feature access key (the fak parameter) are provided by Oracle. If you do not have the feature access key for the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

When the enable-crtl-feat command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 07-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 37.0.0
ENABLE-CTRL-FEAT: MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Turn the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature on by entering the chg-ctrl-feat command with the part number used in 6 and the status=on parameter.
Caution:
Once the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature is turned on, it cannot be turned off.

For this example, enter this command.

chg-ctrl-feat:partnum=893013601:status=on

When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 07-05-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 37.0.0
CHG-CTRL-FEAT: MASP A - COMPLTD
```

Verify the changes by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand.

This is an example of the possible output.
