Adding an Allowed Affected Point Code Screen

This procedure is used to add an allowed affected point code (AFTPC) screen to the database using the ent-scr-aftpc command. The parameters used by the ent-scr-aftpc command are shown in the Gateway Screening Attributes section. The general rules that apply to configuring gateway screening entities are shown in the Gateway Screening Configuration section.

The examples in this procedure are used to add the allowed AFTPC screen data shown in Table 3-1 and based on the example configurations shown in Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-6.

Screening Reference NI NC NCM SSN NSFI ACTNAME
gw20 008 008 008 250 stop COPY
ls04 010 010 010 015 stop COPY

Note:

If you using multiple-part ITU national point codes with gateway screening, see the 14-Bit ITU National Point Code Formats section.

Specifying a Range of Values

A range of values can be specified for the point code parameters ni, nc, or ncm.

If a range of values is specified for any of these parameters, and the value of the other parameters match existing values for the screening reference name, the range of values for the point code parameter cannot include any values for that parameter that are currently provisioned for the screening reference name.

For example, screening reference name scr1 contains these entries:

SR    NI       NC       NCM      SSN      NSFI    NSR/ACT
SCR1  240      001      010      012      STOP    ------
SCR1  241      010      020      015      STOP    ------

Another entry for screening reference scr1 with the ni value of 240 and the nc value of 001 cannot be specified if the range of values for the ncm parameter includes the value 010.

The ANSI point code parameter values can be specified as a single value, a range of values, or with an asterisk (*). The asterisk specifies all possible values for the ni, nc, and ncm parameters. Table 3-2 shows the valid combinations of these parameter values.

A range of values can also be specified for an ITU-I or 24-bit ITU-N point code parameter using a combination of asterisks (*) and single values for the point code parameters. Table 3-3 shows the valid combinations of the ITU-I parameter values. Table 3-4 shows the valid combinations of the 24-bit ITU-N parameter values.

  1. Verify that the gateway screening feature is on, by entering the rtrv-feat command.

    If the gateway screening feature is on, the GWS field is set to on.

    Note:

    Thertrv-feat command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by thertrv-feat command, see thertrv-feat command description inCommands User's Guide.

    If the gateway screening feature is on, shown by the entry GWS = on in the rtrv-feat command output, skip step 2, and go to step 3.

  2. Turn the gateway screening feature on by entering this command.

    chg-feat:gws=on

    Note:

    Once the gateway screening feature is turned on with thechg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

    The gateway screening feature must be purchased before you turn this feature on with the chg-feat command. If you are not sure if you have purchased the gateway screening feature, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

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

  3. Display all allowed AFTPC screens in the database using the rtrv-scr-aftpc command.

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:25:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    SCREEN = ALLOWED AFTPC
    SR    REF  RULES
    IEC   YES     2
    WRD2  YES     1
    WRD4  YES     9

    If the screening reference names that you wish to add with this procedure are not shown in the rtrv-scr-aftpc command output, go to step 4. For this example, the screening reference names are not shown. If these screening reference names are shown in the rtrv-scr-aftpc command output, make sure the screening data you wish to enter is not already in the database by entering the rtrv-scr-aftpc command with the screening reference name. For example, enter the rtrv-scr-aftpc:sr=iec command. The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:26:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    SCREEN = ALLOWED AFTPC
    SR    NI       NC       NCM      SSN      NSFI    NSR/ACT
    IEC   010      010      011      012      STOP    ------
    IEC   010      010      013      012      STOP    ------

    If a gateway screening stop action set is to be assigned to the allowed AFTPC screen being added to the database, go to step 4. Otherwise, go to step 5.

  4. Display the gateway screening stop action sets in the database with the rtrv-gws-actset command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    GWS action set table is (7 of 16) 44% full

    If the required gateway screening stop action set is not in the database, perform the Configuring Gateway Screening Stop Action Sets procedure to configure the required gateway screening stop action set.

    Note:

    If the point code being added in this procedure is not an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code, skip step 5 and to step 6.

    Note:

    If the point code being added in this procedure is an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code and the screening reference contains ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point codes, skip step 5 and go to step 6.
  5. Display the status of the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command with the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature part number.

    Enter this command.

    rtrv-ctrl-feat:partnum=893013601

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:25:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    The following features have been permanently enabled:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum   Status Quantity
    Spare Point Code Support  893013601 on     ----
    
    The following features have been temporarily enabled:
    
    Feature Name              Partnum   Status Quantity   Trial Period Left
    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 enabled, go to step 6.

    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 in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide to enable the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature as required. After the feature has been enabled, go to step 6.

  6. Add the new allowed AFTPC screen to the database using the ent-scr-aftpc command.

    Caution:

    TheEAGLE does not support redirecting MSUs for the DTA feature or intercepting ISUP IAM messages for the Calling Name Conversion Facility feature from the allowed AFTPC screen. Gateway screening stop action sets containing either the RDCT (redirect) or CNCF (calling name conversion facility) stop actions should not be assigned to the allowed AFTPC screen. If a gateway screening stop action set containing the RDCT or CNCF stop actions is specified with the ent-scr-aftpc command, unsolicited information message (UIM) 1127 is generated when the attempt is made to redirect MSUs from the allowed AFTPC screen. Unsolicited information message (UIM) 1217 is generated when ISUP IAM MSUs are intercepted from the allowed AFTPC screen. For more information on UIMs 1127 and 1217, go to Unsolicited Alarm and Information Messages Reference.

    If a gateway screening stop action is to be assigned to the allowed AFTPC screen being changed, enter the ent-scr-aftpc command with the nsfi=stop parameter and the actname parameter with the name of a gateway screening stop action set shown in the output of the rtrv-gws-actset command executed in step 4.

    The following list contains the values for ni, nc, ncm, zone, area, id, npc, msa, ssa, sp, and ssn parameters:

    • ni – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • nc – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • ncm – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • zone – 0 - 7 or an asterisk (*)
    • area – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • id – 0 - 7 or an asterisk (*)
    • npc – 1 - 16383 or an asterisk (*)
    • msa – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • ssa – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • sp – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • ssn – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)

    A range of values can be specified for the ni, nc, and ncm parameters. See the Specifying a Range of Values section for more information on how the asterisk and a range of values are used for the ni, nc, and ncm parameters.

    To add a spare point code to the allowed AFTPC screen, the pcst=s parameter must be specified. To add a non-spare point code to the allowed AFTPC screen, the pcst parameter does not have to be specified. If the pcst parameter is specified for a screen containing an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N non-spare point code, the value must be none. For this example, enter these commands.

    ent-scr-aftpc:sr=gw20:ni=008:nc=008:ncm=008:ssn=250:nsfi=stop :actname=copy

    A message similar to the following should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:27:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    ENT-SCR-AFTPC: SCREEN SET AFFECTED - GW20  1% FULL
    ENT-SCR-AFTPC: MASP A - COMPLTD

    ent-scr-aftpc:sr=ls04:ni=010:nc=010:ncm=010:ssn=015:nsfi=stop :actname=copy

    A message similar to the following should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:28:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    ENT-SCR-AFTPC: SCREEN SET AFFECTED - LS04  1% FULL
    ENT-SCR-AFTPC: MASP A - COMPLTD
  7. Verify the changes using the rtrv-scr-aftpc command with the screening reference name used in step 6.

    For this example, enter these commands.

    rtrv-scr-aftpc:sr=gw20

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:29:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    SCREEN = ALLOWED AFTPC
    SR    NI       NC       NCM      SSN      NSFI    NSR/ACT
    GW20  008      008      008      250      STOP    COPY

    rtrv-scr-aftpc:sr=ls04

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:30:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    SCREEN = ALLOWED AFTPC
    SR    NI       NC       NCM      SSN      NSFI    NSR/ACT
    LS04  010      010      010      015      STOP    COPY
  8. Backup the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.

    The following messages should appear, the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.

    BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
    BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
