Adding a Concerned Signaling Point Code

This procedure is used to add a concerned signaling point code (CSPC) group to the database using the ent-cspc command.

The ent-cspc command uses these parameters.

:grp – The name of the concerned signaling point code group that contains the point codes that should be notified of the subsystem status.

:pc/pca/pci/pcn/pcn24 – The point code of the signaling point that is to be in the concerned signaling point code group, either an ANSI point code (pc/pca), ITU-I or ITU-I spare point code (pci), a 14-bit ITU-N or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code (pcn), or a 24-bit ITU-N (pcn24) 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.

Note:

The EAGLE can contain 14-bit ITU-N point codes or 24-bit ITU-N point codes, but not both at the same time.

The examples in this procedure are used to add the concerned signaling point code (CSPC) groups shown in Table 2-37.

Table 2-37 Concerned Signaling Point Code Configuration Table

CSPC Broadcast Group Name	Concerned Signaling Point Code
grp05	002-002-002
	008-008-008
grp10	008-008-008
	009-009-009
grp15	002-002-002
	009-009-009

The CSPC cannot be in the database for the indicated group.

The point code must exist in the routing table and cannot already exist in the specified group. Verify that the point code is in the routing table by entering the rtrv-rte command with the point code. If the point code is an ANSI point code, it must be a full point code. The route must contain a minimum of one active signaling link.

The word “none” cannot be used to name a CSPC group.

The database can contain a maximum of 2550 CSPC groups. Each CSPC group can contain a maximum of 96 concerned signaling point codes.

The mated point codes in the mated application table will not automatically receive CSPC broadcasts unless each mated point code is contained in a CSPC group. A mated application group can contain up to 32 entries, a primary point code and up to 31 mated point codes. Each mated point code in a mated application group can be assigned to a different CSPC group.

The first point code entered for a CSPC group defines the network type for the CSPC group. If the first point code entered for a particular CSPC group is an ANSI point code (pc or pca), then that CSPC group is an ANSI CSPC group and only ANSI point codes can be added to it. If the first point code in the CSPC group is either an ITU international or ITU international spare point code (pci), then the CSPC group is an ITU international CSPC group and only ITU international or ITU international spare point codes can be added to it. If the first point code in the CSPC group is either a 14-bit ITU national or 14-bit ITU national spare point code (pcn), then the CSPC group is an ITU national CSPC group and only 14-bit ITU national or 14-bit ITU national spare point codes can be added to it. If the first point code in the CSPC group is a 24-bit ITU national point code (pcn24), then the CSPC group is an ITU national CSPC group and only 24-bit ITU national point codes can be added to it.

If the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is enabled, CSPC groups can contain ANSI point codes (pc/pca), ITU-I or ITU-I spare point codes (pci), and either 14-bit ITU-N or 14-bit ITU-N spare point codes (pcn), or 24-bit ITU-N (pcn24) point codes. A CSPC group cannot contain both 14-bit and 24-bit ITU-N point codes. The status of the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature can be verified with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

When the ent-cspc command is entered with a CSPC group name and a point code and the CSPC group name does not exist, the command will be rejected. If the group name does not exist, and a point code is not specified, a new group will be created.

1. Display the CSPC group names in the database using the rtrv-cspc command. This is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 07-05-25 09:57:31  GMT  EAGLE5 37.0.0
   CSPC GRP   NETWORK                PERCENT FULL
   grp01      ANSI                     6%
   grp02      ITU-I                    9%
   grp03      ITU-N                   12%
   grp04      ANSI                    15%

   If the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is enabled, and multiple network point code types are assigned to CSPC groups, the network types of the point codes in each CSPC group are displayed in the rtrv-cspc output as follows in this example.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 09:57:31  GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   CSPC GRP   NETWORK                PERCENT FULL

   grp02      ITU-I                     9%
   grp03      ANSI,  ITU-N              6%
   grp04      ANSI                     15%

   Note:

   If the point code is being added to a new CSPC group, continue the procedure with 3.
2. Display the point codes in the CSPC group that the new point code is being added to by entering the rtrv-cspc command with the CSPC group name.

   For this example, enter this command.

   rtrv-cspc:grp=grp01

   This is an example of the possible output.

                 00112         N

3. Enter the rtrv-rte command with the dpc parameter specifying the point code to be used with the ent-cspc command to verify whether or not the point code is the DPC of a route. For this example, enter these commands.

   rtrv-rte:dpca=002-002-002

   This is an example of the possible output.
