Adding an End Node Internal Point Code

This procedure is used to assign user parts to an internal point code (IPC), and thereby to an end office node using the ent-rmt-appl command. An internal point code is assigned to remote applications.

Only one IPC value for each network type can be configured. If you are adding an IPC value of the same network type as an existing IPC (for example, adding an ANSI IPC when the rtrv-rmt-appl output contains an ANSI IPC), the IPC value must be the same as the existing IPC value.

The ent-rmt-appl command uses these parameters:

:ipc/ipca/ipci/ipcn/ipcn24 – The end node's internal point code can be an ANSI (ipc/ipca), ITU-I or ITU-I spare (ipci), 14-bit ITU-N or 14-bit ITU-N spare (ipcn), or 24-bit ITU-N (ipcn24) point code.

Note:

The point code value can also be either a private (p- ) or a private spare (ps- ) point code, but does not have to be a private or private spare point code. Any point code can be a private point code. Only ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N point codes can be private spare point codes. The point code value must be shown in the rtrv-dstn command output.

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.

:si – The service indicator value designates which MSU user part is being assigned to a remote application. Valid values range from 3 to 15.

:ssn – The SCCP subsystem number parameter. This parameter is required if the si=3 parameter is specified and is not valid for any other si value. If the ssne parameter is also specified, then the ssn parameter serves as the starting value of a range. Valid values range from 0 to 255.

:ssne – The SCCP subsystem number range end parameter. The ssne value can be specified only if the si=3 parameter is specified and is not valid for any other si value. This parameter serves as an end of a range, and so must be greater than the ssn parameter value. Valid values range from 1 to 255.

The specified assignment cannot be an existing assignment, including SSN subsets.

Display a report listing the remote application assignments using the rtrv-rmt-appl command.

This is an example of possible output:

If the IPC being added to the database is not shown in the rtrv-dstn output, go to the “Adding a Destination Point Code” procedure in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide and add the IPC to the DPC table.

Add the remote application assignments using the ent-rmt-appl command.
For this example, enter these commands.
ent-rmt-appl:ipcn=p-16380:si=3:ssn=250

ent-rmt-appl:ipcn=p-16380:si=5

ent-rmt-appl:ipca=003-003-003:si=13

ent-rmt-appl:ipca=003-003-003:si=3:ssn=50:ssne=75

When each of these commands have successfully completed, the following message should appear.
```
rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 09:12:36 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
ENT-RMT-APPL:  MASP A - COMPLTD;

Back up the new changes, using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.

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