Adding a Point Code and CIC Translation Entry

This procedure is used to add a PCT (point code and CIC translation) entry to the database, using the ent-pct command.

The ent-pct command uses the parameters shown in Table 4-2.

Table 4-2 ENT-PCT Parameters

Parameter	Range of Values	Type of Parameter	Default Values	Description
EPC/EPCA/ EPCI/EPCN	ANSI, ITU-I, or 14-bit ITU-N Point Code	Mandatory	N/A	Emulated point code. See Notes 1 through 8.
REALPC/REALPCA/ REALPCI/REALPCN	ANSI, ITU-I, or 14-bit ITU-N Point Code	Mandatory	N/A	Real point code. See Notes 1 through 9.
FILTPC/FILTPCA/ FILTPCI/FILTPCN	ANSI, ITU-I, 14-bit ITU-N Point Code, or wildcard (*)	Optional	wildcard (*)	Filter point code. See Notes 2 through 5, 8 through 11, and 25.
SI	0 (Network Management) 3 (SCCP 4 (TUP) 5 (ISUP) 13 (ANSI Q.BICC) wildcard (*)	Optional	wildcard (*)	Service indicator value. See Notes 24 and 25.
ECICS	See Note 12	Optional	wildcard (*)	Start value of a range of emulated CIC values. See Notes 13, 19, 20, and 25.
ECICE	See Note 12	Optional	wildcard (*)	End value of a range of emulated CIC values. See Notes 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 25.
RCICS	See Note 12	Optional	wildcard (*)	Start value of a range of real CIC values. See Notes 13, 15, 19, 20, and 25.
RCICE	See Note 12	Optional	wildcard (*)	End value of a range of real CIC values. See Notes 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, and 25.
RELCAUSE	0 - 127	Optional	0	Release cause value. See Notes 21 and 22.
SSN	0 - 255 or wildcard (*)	Optional	wildcard (*)	Subsystem number. See Notes 23 and 25.
Notes: The ANSI point code value must be a full point code and not a cluster point code or a network routing point code. The point code value cannot be shown in the `rtrv-sid` output. ITU-I and 14-bit ITU-N point code values cannot be a spare point code. None of the point code values can be a private point code. The network type of the emulated point code, real point code, and filter point code (if specified) values must be the same. The group code of the 14-bit ITU-N emulated point code, real point code, and filter point code (if specified) values must be the same. There can be a maximum of 100 PCT entries that use the same emulated point code value. There can be a maximum of 100 PCT entries that use the same real point code value. A maximum of 250 different emulated point code values can be used in all the PCT entries that are provisioned. A maximum of 250 different real point code values can be used in all the PCT entries that are provisioned. Duplicate entries with these key combinations are not allowed. emulated point code + filter point code + service indicator + subsystem number/(range of emulated CIC values) real point code + filter point code + service indicator + subsystem number/(range of real CIC values) The real point code and filter point code value must be shown in the `DPC` column of the `rtrv-rte` output. There must be at least one route assigned the `DPC` value. The ANSI filter point code values can be a full point code, a cluster point code, or a network routing point code. Only one filter point code value can be specified with the PCT entry, either an ANSI filter point code (`filtpc/filtpca`), an ITU-I filter point code (`filtpci`), or a 14-bit ITU-N filter point code (`filtpcn`). These are the values for the ECICS, ECICE, RCICS, and RCICE parameter values. Service indicator value 4 - 0 to 4095 or wildcard (). Service indicator value 5 (with an ITU point code) - 0 to 4095 or wildcard (). Service indicator value 5 (with an ANSI point code) - 0 to 16383 or wildcard (). Service indicator value 13 - 0 to 4294967295 or wildcard (). The service indicator parameter with a value of 4, 5, or 13 must be specified. If the ECICE parameter is specified, the ECICS parameter must be specified. If the RCICE parameter is specified, the RCICS parameter must be specified. If the RCICS parameter is specified, the ECICS parameter must be specified. If the ECICS, ECICE, and RCICS parameters are specified, the RCICE parameter must be specified. If the ECICS, RCICS, and RCICE parameters are specified, the ECICE parameter must be specified. The value of the ECICE parameter must be greater or equal to the ECICS parameter value. The value of the RCICE parameter must be greater or equal to the RCICS parameter value. If a range of emulated CIC and real CIC values are specified, the difference between the ECICS and ECICE values must be the same as the difference between the RCICS and RCICE values. Where CIC translations are not applied uniformly across a trunk group, it is recommended that the CIC should be provisioned in ranges such that a trunk is not split across PCT translations. If the `epc/epca/epci/epcn` parameter value is equal to the `realpc/realpca/realpci/realpcn` parameter value, the range of emulated CIC values cannot be the same as the range of real CIC values. The service indicator parameter value must be either 5 or 13. The ECICS parameter must be specified. The service indicator parameter value must be 3. If the service indicator value is 0 or wildcard (), only the emulated point code, real point code, and filter point code parameters can be specified. The wildcard () value indicates that the parameter is not part of the key to find the matching translation.

To add a PCT entry, a PCT quantity must be enabled. Adding the new PCT entry cannot exceed the enabled PCT quantity. The enabled PCT quantity is shown in the rtrv-pct output. The EAGLE can contain a maximum of 1000 PCT entries. Perform the Changing the Point Code and CIC Translation Quantity procedure to enable the required PCT quantity if adding the new PCT entry will exceed the enabled PCT quantity and the current PCT quantity is less than 1000.

Canceling the RTRV-RTE Command

Because the rtrv-rte command used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-rte command can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-rte command can be canceled.

Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-rte command was entered
Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-rte command was entered
Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-rte command was entered, from another terminal other than the terminal where the rtrv-rte 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.

Display the current PCT entries by entering the rtrv-pct command.
This is an example of the possible output.

If adding the PCT entry will exceed the enabled PCT quantity and the enabled PCT quantity is 1000, this procedure cannot be performed.

If adding the PCT entry will exceed the enabled PCT quantity and the enabled PCT quantity is less than 1000, perform the Changing the Point Code and CIC Translation Quantity procedure to enable the new PCT quantity. The new quantity must be greater than the current enabled quantity.
If adding the PCT entry will not exceed the enabled PCT quantity, or the Changing the Point Code and CIC Translation Quantity procedure has been performed, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
- If no entries are displayed in the rtrv-pct output, continue the procedure with 3.
- If entries are displayed in the rtrv-pct output, continue the procedure with 2.
There can be a maximum of 100 PCT entries that use the same emulated point code value. There can be a maximum of 100 PCT entries that use the same real point code value.
The EAGLE contain a maximum of 250 unique emulated point code values and 250 unique real point code values.

If adding the new PCT entry will not exceed these maximum quantities, continue the procedure with 3.
If adding the new PCT entry will exceed these maximum quantities, the new PCT entry must contain one or more of these point code values, depending on the quantity that will be exceeded.
- If the EAGLE contains 100 PCT entries that use the same emulated point code value, a different emulated point code value must be used for the new PCT entry.
- If the EAGLE contains 100 PCT entries that use the same real point code value, a different real point code value must be used for the new PCT entry.
- If the EAGLE contains a maximum of 250 unique emulated point code values, the new entry must contain one of these emulated point code values.
- If the EAGLE contains a maximum of 250 unique real point code values, the new entry must contain one of these real point code values.
- Continue the procedure with 3

The real point code value, and the filter point code value if a point code value is specified for the filter point code parameter, must be the DPC of a routeset that contains at least one route.

The real point code value must be a full point code and cannot be a spare point code, a private point code, or a 24-bit ITU-N point code.

The filter point code value can be a full point code, a cluster point code, or a network routing point code. The filter point code value cannot be a spare point code, a private point code, or a 24-bit ITU-N point code.

The emulated point code, real point code, and filter point code values must be the same network type, either ANSI, ITU-I, or a 14-bit ITU-N point codes.

If the 14-bit ITU-N point codes contain group codes, the group codes of the emulated point code, real point code, and filter point code values must be the same.

If the required point codes for the PCT entry are not shown in the rtrv-rte output, perform one of these procedures to add the routes with the required point code values.

If the required point codes for the PCT entry are shown in the rtrv-rte output, or one of the Adding a Route procedures was performed, continue the procedure with 6.

Add the PCT entry by entering the ent-pct command.
The epc/epca/epci/epcn and realpc/realpca/realpci/realpcn must be specified with the ent-pct command. All other parameters are optional.

The values for the ent-pct parameters and the rules for specifying these parameters are shown in Table 4-2.

For this example, enter these commands.
