14-Bit ITU National Point Code Formats

Gateway screening only allows 14-bit ITU national point codes to be provisioned in the database by the enter, delete, or change gateway screening commands, and displayed by the gateway screening retrieve commands as a single number. If a format other than a single number (14-0-0-0) for the 14-bit ITU national point code has been defined by the npcfmti parameter of the chg-stpopts command, the 14-bit ITU national point code must be converted into a single number so that it can be used by gateway screening.

For example, the format of the 14-bit ITU national point code is 4-4-4-2 and the user would like to add point code value 7-7-7-1 into the allowed OPC screen. The point code value 7-7-7-1 would have to be converted to a single number so that the point code can be added to the allowed OPC screen. To determine what multiple part 14-bit ITU national point code is represented by the single number 14-bit ITU national point code in the gateway screening table, the single number point code must be converted to a multiple part point code.

To convert a single number 14-bit ITU national point code to a multiple part point code, perform the Converting Single Number 14-Bit ITU National Point Codes procedure.

To convert a multiple part 14-bit ITU national point code to a single number point code, perform the Converting Multiple Part 14-Bit ITU National Point Codes procedure.

For a definition of the different formats that can be used for 14-bit ITU national point codes, see the 14-Bit ITU National Point Code Formats section in Chapter 2, Configuring Destination Tables in the Database Administration Manual - SS7.
