Adding Global Title Modification Information

This procedure is used to add global title (GT) modification information to the database. The GT modification information is used to modify information in an MSU during the global title translation process when the MSU requires further global title translation. The GT modification information is added to the database using the ent-gtmod command with these parameters.

:gtmodid – The name of the GT modification identifier

:cgpassn – The subsystem number in the calling party address

:ntt – The new translation type

:nnp – The new numbering plan

:nnai – The new nature of address indicator

:npdd – The number of digits to be deleted from the beginning of the Global Title Address digits (the prefix digits)

:npds – The digits that are being substituted for the prefix digits

:nsdd – The number of digits to be deleted from the end of the Global Title Address digits (the suffix digits)

:nsds – The digits that are being substituted for the suffix digits

:ngti – The new GT indicator value

on=gt0fill - if the last value of the global title address is zero (0), it is treated or as a filler during the GT modification process.

off=gt0fill - if the last value of the global title address is zero (0), it is treated as a valid digit during the GT modification process.

precd - specifies whether the prefix (npds/npdd parameter values) or suffix (nsds/nsdd parameter values) takes precedence while modifying the received Global Title Address.

The values for these parameters and the rules for using these parameters are shown in Table 2-64.

One of the Advanced GT Modification features must be enabled to add GT modification information to the database. The status of the Advanced GT Modification features is shown the rtrv-ctrl-feat command output. The part numbers of the Advanced GT Modification features are shown in 2.

1. Display the GT modification information in the database using the rtrv-gtmod command.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   GTMOD table is (4 of 100000) 1% full.

   The GT modification table can contain a maximum of 100,000 entries. If the rtrv-gtmod output shows 100,000 entries, a new entry cannot be added and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed.

   If the number of entries shown in the rtrv-gtmod output is less than 100,000 and the new GT modification entry will contain only the gtmodid and ntt parameter values, continue the procedure with 6.

   If the new GT modification entry will contain other parameter values besides the gtmodid and ntt parameter values, and the number of entries shown in the rtrv-gtmod output is less than 100,000, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.

   Note:

   The GT modification entry does not have to contain an ntt parameter value, but must contain at least one optional parameter value. These parameter values are shown in Table 2-64.

   • If any of the entries shown in the rtrv-gtmod output contains values for parameters other than the gtmodid and ntt parameters, continue the procedure with 3.
   • If all of the entries shown in the rtrv-gtmod output contains only values for the gtmodid and ntt parameters, continue the procedure with 2.
2. One of the Advanced GT Modification features must be enabled to add GT modification information to the database. Enter the rtrv-ctrl-feat command to verify if any of the Advanced GT Modification features are enabled.
   If any of the Advanced GT Modification features are enabled, one of these entries is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output.

   If none of the Advanced GT Modification features are enabled, perform the Activating the Advanced GT Modification Feature to procedure to enable any of the Advanced GT Modification features.

3. Some parameters and values of the ent-gtmod command can be specified only when certain features are enabled, and turned on if necessary.

   To specify hexadecimal digits for the npds and nsds parameters, the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature must be enabled. If hexadecimal digits are shown in the rtrv-gtmod output, the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature is enabled.

   To specify the ngti or on=gt0fill parameters, the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature must be enabled. If values for the ngti parameter are shown in the rtrv-gtmod output, or the GT0FILL value ON is shown in the rtrv-gtmod output, the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is enabled.

   Continue the procedure with 6 if any of these conditions are present.

   • The Hex Digit Support for GTT and ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion features are enabled.
   • If hexadecimal digits will not be specified for the npds or nsds parameters, and the ngtior the on=gt0fill parameters will not be specified with the ent-gtmod command.

   If hexadecimal digits will be specified for the npds or nsds parameters and hexadecimal digits are not shown in the rtrv-gtmod output, continue the procedure with 4.

   If the ngti or on=gt0fill parameters will be specified with the ent-gtmod command, and values for the ngti parameter are not shown in the rtrv-gtmod output and the GT0FILL value ON is not shown in the rtrv-gtmod output, continue the procedure with 5.

   After these steps have been performed, as needed, continue the procedure with 6.

4. Verify the status of the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature by entering this command.

   rtrv-ctrl-feat:partnum=893018501

   The following is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 10-07-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 42.0.0

   If the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature has not been enabled, perform the Activating the Hex Digit Support for GTT Feature procedure to enable the Hex Digit Support for GTT feature.

5. Verify the status of the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature by entering this command.

   rtrv-ctrl-feat:partnum=893012001

   The following is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 10-07-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 42.0.0

   If the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature is not enabled, perform Activating the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion Feature to enable the ANSI/ITU SCCP Conversion feature.

6. Add the GT modification information using the ent-gtmod command with the parameters and values shown in Table 2-64.

   Optional Parameters
   :cgpassn=<2 – 255>	:nsdd=<1 – 21>
   :ngti=<2, 4>	:nsds=<1 – 21 decimal digits or 1 – 21 hexadecimal digits>
   :nnai=<0 – 127>	:ntt=<0 – 255>

   Notes: At least one optional parameter must be specified. The on=gt0fill parameter can be specified only if the ngti parameter is specified. If the ngti=2 parameter is specified, the nnai and nnp parameters cannot be specified. If the ngti=4 parameter is specified, the nnai and nnp parameters must be specified. If either the npdd/npds or nsdd/nsds parameter combinations are specified, the precd parameter cannot be specified. If the npdd/npds and nsdd/nsds parameter combinations are specified, the precd parameter must be specified. If the precd parameter is specified, the npdd/npds and nsdd/nsds parameter combinations must be specified. The combined length of npds and nsds parameter values cannot exceed 21 digits.

   For this example, enter this command.

   ent-gtmod:gtmodid=modid6:ngti=4:on=gt0fill:nnp=4:nnai=5:npdd=3 :npds=123:nsdd=3:nsds=456:precd=sfx
