This procedure is used to add a destination point code to the database, using the ent-dstn
command.
The ent-dstn
command uses these parameters:
:dpc/dpca/dpci/dpcn/dpcn24
– The destination point code being added to the database
:aliasa/aliasi/aliasn/aliasn24
– The alternate destination point code. Two optional alias addresses can be defined.
:ppc/ppca/ppci/ppcn/ppcn24
– The proxy point code that is assigned to the destination point code.
Note:
See Point Code Formats 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. A private point code cannot be used as an alias point code.:clli
– The Common Language Location Identifier assigned to this point code
:domain
– The network in which the destination entity or node exists, SS7.
:ipgwapc
– IP Gateway Adjacent Point Code indicator. Specify ipgwapc=yes
to provide SS7 linkset definition compatibility for gateway connections to IP-SCPs. The default is ipgwapc=no
.
:bei
– Broadcast exception indicator that indicates whether transfer-prohibited (TFP) messages will be broadcast from this node. The bei=yes
parameter means TFPs will not be broadcast. The bei=no
parameter means TFPs will be broadcast.
:spc/spca/spci/spcn/spcn24
– The secondary point code as defined by the ent-spc
command. The secondary point code allows the EAGLE to use another point code in addition to the one defined by the dpc
, dpca
, dpci
, dpcn
, or dpcn24
parameters of the ent-dstn
command for SS7 routing purposes. Refer to the Multiple Point Code Support section for more information on secondary point codes. A private point code cannot be used as a secondary point code.
:prx
– This parameter specified whether or not the destination point code is proxy point code. This parameter has two values, yes
or no
. If the prx
parameter value is yes
, the destination point code is a proxy point code. If the prx
parameter value is no
, the destination point code is not a proxy point code.
The ppc
and prx
parameters can be specified only if a quantity of proxy point codes is enabled. Proxy point code quantities are enabled in groups of 10. The enabled quantity of proxy point codes is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat
output. If no proxy point code quantity is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat
output, or the proxy point code quantity needs to be increased, up to a maximum quantity of 100 proxy point codes, perform the Changing the Proxy Point Code Quantity procedure.
The ppc
parameter assigns a proxy point code to a destination point code. The proxy point code value must be provisioned in the database. The destination point code must be a full point code, in the SS7 domain, and cannot be a private point code. The destination point code cannot have the ipgwapc=yes
parameter value assigned. The destination point code and proxy point code must be the same network type. For example, if the destination point code is an ANSI point code, the proxy point code must be an ANSI point code. If the destination point code and proxy point code are 14-bit ITU-N point codes with a group code, the group code values for both the destination point code and the proxy point code must be the same. The spc
and ppc
parameters cannot be specified together in the same ent-dstn
command line.
The prx
parameter specifies whether or not the destination point code specified with the ent-dstn
command is a proxy point code. The destination point code value must be a full point code, in the SS7 domain, and cannot be a private point code. The destination point code value cannot have the ipgwapc=yes
parameter value assigned.
:nprst
- NM bits reset. This parameter specifies whether the NM bits in an ITU IAM message should be set to 00. This parameter has two values. off
- Do not set NM bits to 00 in an ITU IAM message if the nptype
option value in the rtrv-tifopts
output is nm
. on
- Set the NM bits to 00 in an ITU IAM message if the nptype
option value in the rtrv-tifopts
output is nm
. The default value for this parameter is off
.
:rcause
- Release cause. This parameter specifies the condition that triggers the sending of a Release message. This parameter has these values. none
- use the values specified for the rcausenp
and rcausepfx
parameters in the rtrv-tifopts
output. The default value for this parameter is none
.
If the rlcopc
parameter value in the rtrv-tipopts
output is on and a value of 0-127 is specified for the rcause
parameter, then the rcause
parameter value overrides the values specified for the rcausenp
and rcausepfx
parameters in the rtrv-tifopts
output.
:splitiam
- This parameter specifies how and when to split an ITU IAM message into one IAM message and one SAM message. This parameter has these values. none
- the value specified for the splitiam
parameter in the rtrv-tifopts
output is used to determine when to split the IAM message. The default value for this parameter is none
.
nprst
or rcause
parameters, the TIF Number Portability feature, part number 893018901, must be enabled. To specify the splitiam
parameter, at least one of these features must be enabled. The status of these features is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat
output. Perform the procedures in TIF User's Guide to enable these features.
:homescp
- This parameter specifies whether the destination point code should be considered a home SCP when performing SCCP processing for messages that have no global title address digits (the global title indicator (GTI) is set to zero). This parameter cannot be specified for a cluster point code or a network routing point code. These are the values for this parameter. :homesmsc
- This parameter specifies whether the destination point code (DPC) should be considered a home SMSC when performing SCCP processing for messages that have no global title address digits (the global title indicator (GTI) is set to zero). This parameter cannot be specified for a cluster point code or a network routing point code. These are the values for this parameter. :sccpmsgcnv
- The sccpmsgcnv
parameter controls SCCP UDT(S)/XUDT(S) message conversion for the specified destination. This parameter can be specified only if the XUDT UDT Conversion feature is enabled and turned on. The rtrv-ctrl-feat
output shows the status of the XUDT UDT Conversion feature. If the XUDT UDT Conversion feature is not enabled or turned on, perform the "Activating the XUDT UDT Conversion Feature" procedure in Database Administration - GTT User's Guide to enable and turn on the XUDT UDT Conversion feature. This parameter contains these values. The elei
and ncai
parameters cannot be specified in this procedure. To use these parameters to provision a destination point code, perform the Adding a Cluster Point Code procedure.
Secondary point codes must be a full point code. A secondary point code can only be assigned to a full point code. The network type of the secondary point code must match the network type of the DPC. The secondary point code used in this procedure must be configured in the database with the ent-spc
command. The secondary point codes are shown in the SPCA
, SPC-I
, SPC-N
, and SPC-N24
fields of the rtrv-spc
command output. If the desired secondary point code is not shown in the output of the rtrv-spc
command, perform the Adding a Secondary Point Code procedure to configure the desired point code as a secondary point code.
The value of the clli
parameter cannot be in the DPC table and cannot match the CLLI of the EAGLE. Verify this by entering the rtrv-dstn
and the rtrv-sid
commands, shown in steps 1 and 5 of the procedure that follows. If the value of the clli
parameter matches any CLLI values in either of these outputs, choose another value for the clli
parameter that does not match any CLLIs shown in either of these command outputs.
To enter point codes of any network type (ANSI, ITU-I, 14-bit ITU-N, or 24-bit ITU-N) into the database with the ent-dstn
command, the self ID of the EAGLE must be defined for these networks. Verify this with the rtrv-sid
command.
If a point code value is shown in the PCA
column of the rtrv-sid
command, then ANSI point codes can be specified with the ent-dstn
command.
If a point code value is shown in the PCI
column of the output of the rtrv-sid
command, then ITU-I point codes can be specified with the ent-dstn
command. The PCI
column of the rtrv-sid
output can contain spare and non-spare point code values. To provision ITU-I non-spare point codes in this procedure, the rtrv-sid
output must contain an ITU-I non-spare point code in the PCI
column. To provision ITU-I spare point codes in this procedure, the rtrv-sid
output must contain an ITU-I spare point code in the PCI
column.
If a point code value is shown in the PCN
column of the output of the rtrv-sid
command, then 14-bit ITU-N point codes can be specified with the ent-dstn
command. The PCN
column of the rtrv-sid
output can contain spare and non-spare point code values. To provision 14-bit ITU-N non-spare point codes in this procedure, the rtrv-sid
output must contain a 14-bit ITU-N non-spare point code in the PCN
column. To provision 14-bit ITU-N spare point codes in this procedure, the rtrv-sid
output must contain a 14-bit ITU-N spare point code in the PCN
column.
If a point code value is shown in the PCN24
column of the output of the rtrv-sid
command, then 24-bit ITU-N point codes can be specified with the ent-dstn
command.
If no values are shown in the PCA
, PCI
, PCN
, or PCN24
columns in the rtrv-sid
command output, the self-identification of the EAGLE must be updated with an ANSI point code, ITU international point code, 14-bit ITU national point code, or a 24-bit ITU national point code. Perform the Adding a Point Code to the Self-Identification of the EAGLE procedure to add the necessary point codes to the self-identification of the EAGLE.
Note:
The EAGLE can contain 14-bit ITU national point codes or 24-bit ITU national point codes, but both at the same time.Private point codes cannot be specified in the self-identification of the EAGLE, therefore, private point codes can be added as long as the self identification of the EAGLE contains a point code with the same network type as the private point code being added in this procedure. The ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature does not have to be enabled to add a private point code. A proxy point code cannot be used as a value when specifying a private point code.
The type of alias point code that can be provisioned with the ent-dstn
command is dependent on the type of DPC that is being provisioned. Table 2-15 shows the DPC and alias point type combinations that can be used with the ent-dstn
command.

Notes:
|
Alias point codes can only be specified for full point code entries, and must be full point codes.
ANSI alias point codes cannot be a member of a cluster point code that is already in the database. A point code is a member of a cluster point code if it has the same network identifier (NI) and network cluster (NC) values as the cluster point code.
Table 2-16 Maximum Alias Point Code Quantities
Feature Status | Maximum Alias Point Code Quantity |
---|---|
The 5000 Routes feature is off and 6000, 7000, 8000, or 10,000 routesets are not enabled | 12000 |
The 5000 Routes feature is on and 6000, 7000, 8000, or 10,000 routesets are not enabled | 12000 |
6000 routesets are enabled | 12000 |
7000 routesets are enabled | 8000 |
8000 routesets are enabled | 8000 |
10,000 routesets are enabled | 10000 |
Destination point codes and alias point codes must be unique in the database. A point code can be defined as a true destination point code, an alias point code, the self ID of the EAGLE, or the capability point code of the EAGLE. The self IDs and capability point codes of the EAGLE can be verified with the rtrv-sid
command.
If the PCTYPE
field of the rtrv-sid
command output contains the entry ANSI
, and the network value of the destination point code specified by the ent-dstn
command is from 0 to 5, the cluster value of that point code must be from 1 to 255. If the network value of that point code is from 6 to 255, the cluster value of that point code must be from 0 to 255.
The actual number of destination point codes that can be configured in the database is set by the mtpdpcq
parameter of the chg-stpopts
command, and is shown in the MTPDPCQ
field in the rtrv-stpopts
command output.
If the 5000 Routes feature is not on, and 6000, 7000, 8000, or 10,000 routesets are not enabled, a maximum of 2000 destination point codes can be configured in the database.
If the 5000 Routes feature is on, and 6000, 7000, 8000, or 10,000 routesets are not enabled, a maximum of 5000 destination point codes can be configured in the database.
If 6000 routesets are enabled, a maximum of 6000 destination point codes can be configured in the database.
If 7000 routesets are enabled, a maximum of 7000 destination point codes can be configured in the database.
If 8000 routesets are enabled, a maximum of 8000 destination point codes can be configured in the database.
If 10,000 routesets are enabled, a maximum of 10,000 destination point codes can be configured in the database.
Note:
For more information on the destination point code quantities, refer to the Changing the DPC Quantity procedure.If ITU-N point codes are specified with the ent-dstn
command, the format of the point code values must match the format shown in the NPCFMTI
field of the rtrv-stpopts
command output. For more information, refer to the 14-Bit ITU National Point Code Formats section.
Canceling the RTRV-DSTN
Command
Because the rtrv-dstn
command used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-dstn
command can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-dstn
command can be canceled:
F9
function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-dstn
command was entered canc-cmd
without the trm
parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-dstn
command was entered canc-cmd:trm=<xx>
, where <xx>
is the terminal where the rtrv-dstn
command was entered, from another terminal other than the terminal where the rtrv-dstn
command was entered. To enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>
command, the terminal must allow Security Administration commands to be entered from it and the user must be allowed to enter Security Administration commands. The terminal’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-secu-trm
command. The user’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-user
or rtrv-secu-user
commands. For more information about the canc-cmd
command, refer to Commands User's Guide.
