Introduction

The MO SMS B-Party Routing feature allows global translation type (GTT) routing to be performed on IS41 MO SMDPP and GSM MO_FSM messages based on the SMS B-party digits from the MAP layer of the message.

If the B number is a short code, then a short message service (SMS) can be directed to a specific short message service center (SMSC) based on the short code dialed by the SMS sender. If the B number is the MSISDN/MDN of the SMS recipient, then the SMS can be directed to a specific SMSC based on subscriber groupings or types.

Provisioning the MO SMS B-Party Routing Feature

1. Enable the MO SMS B-Party Routing feature using the enable-ctrl-feat command. Perform the procedure Activating the MO SMS B-Party Routing Feature.

   Note:

   The MO SMS B-Party Routing feature can be turned on in this step using the chg-ctrl-feat command. If the MO SMS B-Party Routing feature is not turned on in this step, provisioning for the MO SMS B-Party Routing feature can still be performed. When the provisioning is completed, the MO SMS B-Party Routing feature can be turned on. The MO SMS B-Party Routing feature will not work until the feature is turned on.
2. Provision a GTT set that will be used by the MO SMS B-Party Routing feature using the ent-gttset command. Perform the procedure Adding a GTT Set .
3. Assign the GTT set to the B-Party GTT set name option. Perform one or both of these procedures.
   • If global translation type (GTT) routing will be performed on GSM MO_FSM messages, the GTT set name must be the value of the bpartygttsn parameter of the chg-gsmsmsopts command. Perform the procedure Configuring the GSM MO SMS B-Party Routing Options.
   • If global translation type (GTT) routing will be performed on IS41 MO SMDPP messages, the GTT set name must be the value of the bpartygttsn parameter of the chg-is41smsopts command. Perform the procedure Configuring the IS-41 MO SMS B-Party Routing Options.
4. Specify that global title translation needs to be performed on the MAP B-Party digits of the message. Perform one or both of these procedures.
   • If global translation type (GTT) routing will be performed on GSM MO_FSM messages, the value mapbparty must be specified for the mosmsgttdig parameter of the chg-gsmsmsopts command. Perform the procedure Configuring the GSM MO SMS B-Party Routing Options.
   • If global translation type (GTT) routing will be performed on IS41 MO SMDPP messages, the value mapbparty must be specified for the mosmsgttdig parameter of the chg-is41smsopts command. Perform the procedure Configuring the IS-41 MO SMS B-Party Routing Options.
5. Provision the service selectors for the MO SMS B-Party Routing feature using the ent-srvsel command. Perform the procedure Adding a Service Selector Entry for the MO SMS B-Party Routing Feature.
6. If the MO SMS B-Party Routing feature was not turned on in step 1, turn the feature on using the chg-ctrl-feat command. Perform the procedure Activating the MO SMS B-Party Routing Feature.
