Converting Multiple Part 14-Bit ITU National Point Codes

To convert multiple part 14-bit ITU national point codes to a single number, perform these steps. To make this conversion, you will need to know the format of the 14-bit ITU national point code. This can be verified in the NPCFMTI field of the rtrv-stpopts command output. For this example, the 14-bit ITU national point codes 7-55-5 and 0-86-7, using the 3-8-3-0 point code format, are converted into a single number.

1. Convert each part of the point code into a binary number using a scientific calculator.

   The results are as follows.

   1. 7-55-5 = 111 00110111 101
   2. 0-86-7 = 000 01010110 111
2. Combine each part of the point code into a single binary number as follows.
   1. 111 00110111 101 = 11100110111101
   2. 000 01010110 111 = 00001010110111

      Note:

      If the binary number has any zeros at the beginning of the number, remove these zeros as they are not necessary.

      In this example, the binary equivalent for the point code 0-86-7 (00001010110111) contains four zeros at the beginning of the binary number. When the leading zeros are removed from the binary number, the resulting binary number is now 1010110111.

3. Convert the binary number to a decimal number using the same scientific calculator used in step 1.
   1. The binary number 11100110111101 converts to the decimal number 14781.
   2. The binary number 1010110111 converts to the decimal number 695.
