Configuring Point Code Entries for the Prepaid SMS Intercept Phase 1 Feature

This procedure is used to add point code entries to the PPSOPTS table, or remove point code entries from the PPSOPTS table using these parameters of the chg-ppsopts command.

:ppt – The prepaid portability type number of the entry that is being changed, from 1 to 32.

:pc/pca/pci/pcn – The point code for the IN platform, or the value none. The value none removes the point code from the entry that is being changed.
  • pc/pca - An ANSI point code
  • pci - An ITU-I point code
  • pcn - A 14-bit ITU-N point code

    Note:

    Refer to Chapter 2, Configuring Destination Tables in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide 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.
:ri – The routing indicator for the IN platform
  • gt - Routes on the GT value. If the Intermediate Global Title Loadsharing feature is enabled and turned on, the mated relay node (MRN) table is used to determine how the message is routed. If the Intermediate Global Title Loadsharing feature is not enabled or not turned on, the message is routed to the point code in the entry that is being changed.
  • ssn - Routes on the SSN value. The mated application (MAP) table determines how the message is routed.

:setid – The MRN set or MAP set ID that contains the point code in the entry that us being changed. This parameter can be specified only if the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled. This parameter must be specified if the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled. If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is enabled, the point code must be in the MRN set or MAP set specified by the setid parameter. If the ssn parameter is specified with the ri=ssn parameter, the point code and SSN value must be in the MAP set specified by the setid parameter.

:ssn - The subsystem number that is assigned to the point code entry. The values for this parameter are 2 - 255, or none. The value none removes the existing subsystem number from the point code entry. The default value for this parameter is none.

Table B-1 shows the parameter combinations that can be used in this procedure.

Table B-1 CHG-PPSOPTS Parameter Combinations

Adding a Point Code Entry Removing a Point Code or SSN Entry
:ppt = the prepaid portability type that is being changed :ppt = the prepaid portability type that is being changed
:pc/pca/pci/pcn = the point code value that is being added :pc/pca/pci/pcn = none
:ri = gt, ssn :ssn = none
:setid = the MRN or MAP set ID containing the point code  
:ssn = 2 - 255  

Global title address (GTA) entries and the B-Party check option can also be configured with the chg-ppsopts command. Perform Configuring the B-Party Check Option for the Prepaid SMS Intercept Phase 1 Feature to configure the B-Party check option. Perform Configuring GTA Entries for the Prepaid SMS Intercept Phase 1 Feature to configure the GTA entries.

The Prepaid SMS Intercept Phase 1 feature must be enabled and turned on before this procedure can be performed. The status of the Prepaid SMS Intercept Phase 1 feature can be verified by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. Perform Activating the Prepaid SMS Intercept Phase 1 Feature to enable and turn on the Prepaid SMS Intercept Phase 1 feature, if necessary.

The point code that will be specified in this procedure must be the DPC of a route. This can be verified by entering the rtrv-rte command with the dpca/dpci/dpcn parameter. The dpca/dpci/dpcn parameter value must be the point code that will be specified in this procedure.

Canceling the RTRV-MRN and RTRV-MAP Commands

Because the rtrv-mrn and rtrv-map commands used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-mrn and rtrv-map commands can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-mrn and rtrv-map commands can be canceled.

  • Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-mrn and rtrv-map commands were entered.

  • Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-mrn and rtrv-map commands were entered.

  • Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-mrn and rtrv-map commands were entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rtrv-mrn and rtrv-map commands were entered. To enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx> command, the terminal must allow Security Administration commands to be entered from it and the user must be allowed to enter Security Administration commands. The terminal’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-secu-trm command. The user’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-user or rtrv-secu-user commands.

For more information about the canc-cmd command, refer to Commands User's Guide.

  1. Display the status of the Prepaid SMS Intercept Phase 1 feature by entering this command.

    rtrv-ctrl-feat:partnum=893006701

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    If the new point code value is the DPC of a route, continue the procedure with 4.

    If the new point code value is not the DPC of a route, perform one of the Adding a Route procedures in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide to add the required route with the new point code value as the DPC of the route. A proxy point code cannot be assigned to the DPC of the route. After the new route has been added, continue the procedure by performing one of these actions.
    • If the routing indicator of the entry that is being changed will be gt, and the SETID column not is shown in the rtrv-ppsopts output, continue the procedure with 7.
    • If the routing indicator of the entry that is being changed will be gt, and the SETID column is shown in the rtrv-ppsopts output, continue the procedure with 5.
    • If the routing indicator of the entry that is being changed will be ssn, continue the procedure with 6.

    If the new point code value is the DPC of a route, or if a new route was added, continue the procedure by performing one of these actions.

  4. Display the attributes of the DPC of the route shown in 3 by using the rtrv-dstn command and specifying the DPC of the route. For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-dstn:dpca=001-001-004

    This is an example of the possible output.

     MRN table is (2 of 6000) 1% full

    If the new point code value is not shown in the rtrv-mrn output, perform Provisioning MRN Entries to add the new point code to an MRN set. After the MRN set has been added, continue the procedure with 7.

    If the new point code value is shown in the rtrv-mrn output, continue the procedure with 7.

  6. Display the MAP entries in the database by entering the rtrv-map command with the appropriate pc parameter, according to the point code format, and the new point code. If the ssn parameter will be specified with the chg-ppsopts command, specify the ssn parameter and value with the rtrv-map command, along with the appropriate pc parameter. For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-map:pca=001-001-004:ssn=25

    This is an example of the possible output.

    MAP table is (3 of 36000) 1% full.

    If the Flexible GTT Load Sharing feature is not enabled, the MAPSET ID row is not shown in the rtrv-map output, and the MAP table capacity is either 1024, 2000, or 3000.

    If the new point code value is not shown in the rtrv-map output, perform the one of the Provisioning a Mated Application procedures in Global Title Translation (GTT) Overview to add the new point code to a MAP group or a MAP set. After the point code has been added to the MAP group or MAP set, continue the procedure with 7. If the ssn parameter will be specified with the chg-ppsopts command, the new SSN value must be specified with the new point code value.

    If the new point code value and SSN value if required, is shown in the rtrv-map output, continue the procedure with 7.

  7. Configure the point code entry by entering the chg-ppsopts command. Perform one of these substeps.
    1. If a point code or SSN entry is being removed from the PPSOPTS table, enter the chg-ppsopts command with the prepaid portability type and the appropriate pc parameter, according to the point code format, with the value none. If the SSN entry is being removed, the ssn=none parameter must be specified with the chg-ppsopts command. For this example, enter one of these commands.

      chg-ppsopts:ppt=1:pca=none

      chg-ppsopts:ppt=1:ssn=none

      chg-ppsopts:ppt=1:pca=none:ssn=none

    2. If a point code entry is being added to the PPSOPTS table, and the routing indicator value will be gt, enter the chg-ppsopts command with these parameters.
      • The prepaid portability type - ppt
      • The appropriate pc parameter and value, according to the point code format
      • The ri=gt parameter
      • If the SETID column is shown in the rtrv-ppsopts output in 2, the setid parameter must be specified with the chg-ppsopts command. The setid parameter value must be the MRN set ID that contains the point code value.
      • The ssn parameter can be specified for this entry.

      For this example, enter this command.

      chg-ppsopts:ppt=3:pca=001-001-004:ri=gt:setid=2

    3. If a point code entry is being added to the PPSOPTS table, and the routing indicator value will be ssn, enter the chg-ppsopts command with these parameters.
      • The prepaid portability type - ppt
      • The appropriate pc parameter and value, according to the point code format
      • The ri=ssn parameter
      • If the SETID column is shown in the rtrv-ppsopts output in 2, the setid parameter must be specified with the chg-ppsopts command. The setid parameter value must be the MAP set ID that contains the point code value.
      • The ssn parameter can be specified for this entry. If the ssn parameter is specified for this entry, the SSN value must be shown with the point code value in the rtrv-map output. If the setid parameter is specified, the point code and SSN values must be in the MAP set specified by the setid parameter.

      For this example, enter this command.

      chg-ppsopts:ppt=3:pca=001-001-004:ri=ssn:setid=2:ssn=25

    When the chg-ppsopts command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
