Adding an Allowed DPC Screen

This procedure is used to add an allowed destination point code (DPC) screen to the database using the ent-scr-dpc command. The parameters used by the ent-scr-dpc 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 DPC screen data shown in Table 9-1 and based on the example configurations shown in Figure 2-3, Figure 2-5, and Figure 2-9.

Table 9-1 Example Gateway Screening Allowed DPC Configuration Table

Screening Reference NI NC NCM NSFI NSR
gws9 003 003 003 blkdpc gw12
iec 070 070 025&&135 blkdpc gws9
isp2 073 200 059 isup isp2
tup1 050 034 049 isup tup1

Note:

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

The allowed DPC screen can reference one of the following screens.

  • Blocked DPC
  • Allowed Affected Destination Field
  • Allowed CGPA
  • Allowed ISUP

Verifying the Gateway Screening Configuration

Enter the following commands to verify that these screens are in the database.

  • rtrv-scr-blkdpc:all=yes
  • rtrv-scr-destfld:all=yes
  • rtrv-scr-cgpa:all=yes
  • rtrv-scr-isup:all=yes

Gateway Screening Configuration Procedures

If the desired screen is not in the database, perform one of these procedures to add the desired screen to the database or change an existing screen in the database.

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      NSFI    NSR/ACT
SCR1  240      001      010      CGPA    ------
SCR1  241      010      020      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 9-2 shows the valid combinations of these parameter values.

NI NC NCM
Single Value Single Value Single Value
Single Value Single Value Range of 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 9-3 shows the valid combinations of the ITU-I parameter values. Table 9-4 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:

    The rtrv-feat command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-feat command, see the rtrv-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 the chg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

    Note:

    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 DPC screens in the database using the rtrv-scr-dpc command.

    The following is an example of the possible output. 

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:25:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
SCREEN = ALLOWED DPC
SR    REF  RULES
IEC   YES     6
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-dpc command output, go to step 2. For this example, the screening reference names are not shown. If these screening reference names are shown in the rtrv-scr-dpc command output, make sure the screening data you wish to enter is not already in the database by entering the rtrv-scr-dpc command with the screening reference name. For example, enter the rtrv-scr-dpc:sr=iec command.

    The following is an example of the possible output. 

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:26:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0

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

    Step 4 verifies the gateway screening stop action set names in the database. The gateway screening stop action set names are assigned only if the NSFI of the screen being added in this procedure is STOP. If the NSFI of the new screen will be STOP, but a gateway screening stop action set name will not be assigned to the new screen, skip steps 4, 5, and 6 and go to step 7. If the NSFI of the new screen is not STOP, skip step 4 and 5, and go to step 6.

  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.

    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 gateway screening stop action set being assigned to theAllowed DPC screen does not contain the redirect stop action, skip step 5 and go to step 6.
  5. Verify the EAGLE’s point code by entering the rtrv-sid command.

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    Caution:

    Redirecting SLTA/SLTM messages prevents SLTA/SLTM messages from being returned to the EAGLE. The signaling link carrying these messages will fail if these messages are not returned to the EAGLE. To prevent SLTA/SLTM messages from being redirected, gateway screening stop action sets containing the redirect stop action should not be assigned to Allowed DPC screens containing the EAGLE’s point code.

    Note:

    If the NSFI of the screen being added in this procedure is STOP, skip step 6 and go to step 7.
  6. Enter the commands in the Verifying the Gateway Screening Configuration section to verify that the screen that will be specified by the NSFI/NSR parameter combination in step 8 is in the database.

    If the desired screen is not in the database, perform one of the procedures shown in the Gateway Screening Configuration Procedures section to add the desired screen to the database or change an existing screen in the database.

    Note:

    If the point code being added in this procedure is not an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code, continue the procedure with step 8.

    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, continue the procedure with step 8.
  7. 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 8.

    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 8.

  8. Add a new allowed DPC screen to the database using the ent-scr-dpc command.

    If a gateway screening stop action is to be assigned to the allowed DPC screen being added, enter the ent-scr-dpc 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.

    Caution:

    Redirecting SLTA/SLTM messages prevents SLTA/ SLTM messages from being returned to the EAGLE. The signaling link carrying these messages will fail if these messages are not returned to the EAGLE. To prevent SLTA/SLTM messages from being redirected, gateway screening stop action sets containing the redirect stop action should not be assigned to Allowed DPC screens containing the EAGLE’s point code, shown in step 5.

    The following list contains the values for ni, nc, ncm, zone, area, id, npc, msa, ssa, and sp 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 (*)

    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 DPC screen, the pcst=s parameter must be specified.

    To add a non-spare point code to the allowed DPC 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-dpc:sr=gws9:ni=003:nc=003:ncm=003:nsfi=blkdpc:nsr=gw12
