Changing an Allowed Called Party Address Screen

This procedure is used to change the attributes of an allowed called party address (CDPA) screen in the database using the chg-scr-cdpa command. The parameters used by the chg-scr-cdpa 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 example in this procedure is used to change the point code 5-117-2 for the allowed CDPA screen gw15 to 2-230-7, the subsystem number from 254 to 001, the NSFI to aftpc, the NSR of itu1, and the new SCMG format ID of 150.

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 CDPA screen can only reference an allowed AFTPC screen. This can be verified using the rtrv-scr-aftpc:all=yes command. If the desired allowed AFTPC screen is not in the database, perform one of these procedures to add the required 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       SSN      SCMGFID  NSFI    NSR/ACT
SCR1  240      001      010       012      ------   STOP    ------
SCR1  241      010      020       001      002      AFTPC   SCR1

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 4-6 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 4-7 shows the valid combinations of the ITU-I parameter values. Table 4-8 shows the valid combinations of the 24-bit ITU-N parameter values.

  1. Display the allowed CDPA screens in the database using the rtrv-scr-cdpa command.

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:25:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    SCREEN = ALLOWED CDPA
    SR    REF  RULES
    GW15  YES     1
    GW17  YES     1
    GW18  YES     1
    IEC   YES     2
    LS03  YES     1
    WRD2  YES     1
    WRD4  YES     9

    From the rtrv-scr-cdpa output, display the allowed CDPA screen you wish to change using the rtrv-scr-cdpa command with the screening reference name. For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-scr-cdpa:sr=gw15

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:25:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    SCREEN = ALLOWED CDPA
    SR      ZONE   AREA    ID        SSN      SCMGFID  NSFI    NSR/ACT
    GW15    5      117     2         254      ------   STOP    ------

    If a gateway screening stop action set is to be assigned to the allowed CDPA screen being changed in this procedure, go to step 2.

    Step 2 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 changed in this procedure is STOP. If the NSFI of the screen will be changed to STOP, but a gateway screening stop action set name will not be assigned to the screen, skip steps 2 and 3 and go to step 4. If the NSFI of the screen will not be STOP, skip step 2 and go to step 3.

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

    This is an example of the possible output.

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

    7    cpcfrd copy cncf rdct
    
    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 and configure the required gateway screening stop action set.

    Note:

    If theNSFI of the screen being added in this procedure isSTOP, skip step 3 and go to step 4.
  3. Enter the rtrv-scr-aftpc command to verify that the screen that will be specified by the NSFI/NSR parameter combination in step 5 is in the database.

    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.

    Note:

    If any of these conditions apply to this procedure, skip step 4 and go to step 5:
    • The point code in the screen is not being changed.
    • The screen being changed contains either an ANSI or 24-bit ITU-N point code.
    • The ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N non-spare point code in the screen is not being changed to an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code.
    • The point code in the screen is an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code or the screening reference contains other screens with ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point codes.
  4. 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 5.

    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 5.

  5. Change the attributes for the allowed CDPA screen using the chg-scr-cdpa command.

    If a gateway screening stop action is to be assigned to the allowed CDPA screen being changed, enter the chg-scr-cdpa 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 2.

    Caution:

    The EAGLE does not support redirecting MSUs for the DTA feature or intercepting ISUP IAM messages for the Calling Name Conversion Facility feature from the allowed CDPA 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 CDPA screen. If a gateway screening stop action set containing the RDCT or CNCF stop actions is specified with the chg-scr-cdpa command, unsolicited information message (UIM) 1125 is generated when the attempt is made to redirect MSUs from the allowed CDPA screen. Unsolicited information message (UIM) 1215 is generated when ISUP IAM MSUs are intercepted from the allowed CDPA screen. For more information on UIMs 1125 and 1215, go to Unsolicited Alarm and Information Messages Reference.

    The current values for the ni, nc, ncm, zone, area, id, npc, msa, ssa, and sp, ssn, and scmgfid parameters must be entered exactly as shown in the rtrv-scr-cdpa output in step 1. If the scmgfid value is shown as dashes, the scmgfid parameter cannot be specified.

    The following list contains the values for nni, nnc, nncm, nzone, narea, nid, nnpc, nmsa, nssa, nsp, nssn, and nscmgfid parameters:

    • nni – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • nnc – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • nncm – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • nzone – 0 - 7 or an asterisk (*)
    • narea – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • nid – 0 - 7 or an asterisk (*)
    • nnpc – 1 - 16383 or an asterisk (*)
    • nmsa – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • nssa – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • nsp – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • nssn – 0 - 255 or an asterisk (*)
    • nscmgfid – 1 - 255 or an asterisk (*)

    Note:

    Thensfi=aftpc parameter can be specified only if thessn value (new or current) is 1. Table 4-9shows the valid parameter combinations for thessn,scmgfid,nsfi, andnsr parameter values.

    Table 4-9 CDPA Parameter Combinations

    New or Current SSN Value New or Current SCMGFID Value NSFI NSR
    1 1 - 255, * AFTPC or STOP Must be specified if NSFI=AFTPC
    0, 2-255, * Cannot be specified STOP Cannot be specified

    A range of values can be specified for the nni, nnc, and nncm 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 nni, nnc, and nncm parameters.

    To change an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code to a non-spare point code, both the pcst=s and npcst=none parameters must be specified with the chg-scr-cdpa command.

    To change an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N non-spare point code to a spare point code, the npcst=s parameter must be specified with the chg-scr-cdpa command. The pcst parameter does not have to be specified.

    If the current point code in the screen being changed is either an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N spare point code, the pcst=s parameter must be specified with the chg-scr-cdpa command.

    If the current point code in the screen being changed is either an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N non-spare point code, the pcst parameter does not have to be specified with the chg-scr-cdpa command. If the pcst parameter is specified for a screen containing either an ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N non-spare point code, the pcst parameter value must be none.

    For this example, enter this command.

    chg-scr-cdpa:sr=gw15:zone=5:area=117:id=2:ssn=254:nzone=2 :narea=230:nid=7:nssn=001:nscmgfid=150:nsfi=aftpc:nsr=itu1

    A message similar to the following should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:27:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    CHG-SCR-CDPA: SCREEN SET AFFECTED - GW15  1% FULL
    CHG-SCR-CDPA: MASP A - COMPLTD
  6. Verify the changes using the rtrv-scr-cdpa command with the screening reference name used in step 5.

    For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-scr-cdpa:sr=gw15

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:28:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    SCREEN = ALLOWED CDPA
    SR      ZONE   AREA    ID        SSN      SCMGFID  NSFI    NSR/ACT
    GW15    2      230     7         001      150      AFTPC   ITU1
  7. 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.
