This procedure is used to change the self-identification of the EAGLE using the chg-sid command. The self-identification of the EAGLE is a set of point codes made up of a true point code (PC) and a capability point code (CPC) for each network type to which the EAGLE is connected. A capability point code identifies a group of nodes that have similar capabilities, for example, global title translation.
Caution:
Use this procedure only during periods of low traffic. If the EAGLE’s point code, defined by thepc/pca/pci/pcn/pcn24 parameter, is changed with the procedure, the EAGLE must be reinitialized with the init-sys command. The init-sys command reboots the entire EAGLE and reloads all cards with the updated self-identification information. Therstrdev value of thechg-stpopts command can be used to turn on the Persistent Device States (PDS) feature. If PDS is on, the current device states for cards, signaling links, and terminals are restored after the init-sys command has executed. Refer to the chg-stpopts command description in Commands User's Guide for more information about PDS.
Note:
If thePCA, PCI, PCN, or PCN24 fields in the rtrv-sid output do not contain any values, and you only wish to add these values, it is recommended that the “Adding a Point Code to the Self-Identification of the EAGLE” procedure procedure be used to add these values instead of using this procedure as the “Adding a Point Code to the Self-Identification of the EAGLE” procedure does not require the EAGLE to be re-initialized after the point code value is added.The chg-sid command uses these parameters:
:pc/pca/pci/pcn/pcn24 – The point code used to uniquely identify the EAGLE or, with the value none, the point code is defined by the pc/pca/pcn24 parameter is removed from the database. Removing the pci or pcn value should be done by using the npci or npcn parameters.
:cpc/cpca/cpci/cpcn/cpcn24 – The point code used to identify a group of functionally related nodes in the signaling network to which the EAGLE belongs. This point code is called the capability point code.
:ncpc/ncpca/ncpci/ncpcn/ncpcn24 – The new capability point code that replaces an existing capability point code in the database or, with the value none, removes an existing capability point code from the database.
:npci/npcn – The new ITU-I (npci) or 14-bit ITU-N (npcn) point code used to uniquely identify the EAGLE that replaces an existing pci or pcn parameter value, with the value none, removes an existing pci or pcn parameter value from the database. The npci/npcn parameter values cannot be equal to any cpc or pc parameter values. The pci parameter must be specified if the npci parameter is specified. The pcn parameter must be specified if the npcn parameter is specified. The new ITU-I or 14-bit ITU-N point code values (npci/npcn) must be the same type as the pci/pcn parameter value. For example, if the pci value is a non-spare point code, the npci value must be a non-spare point code. If the pci value is a spare point code, the npci value must be a spare point code.
Note:
See Point Code Formats for a definition of the point code types that are used on the EAGLE and for a definition of the different formats that can be used for ITU national point codes.:clli – The Common Language Location Identifier assigned to the EAGLE
:pctype – Point code type, either ansi or other.
:cpctype – the type of capability point code: STP, LNP, INP, EIR, GPORT, GFLEX, MNP, VFLEX, ATINPQ, AIQ.
The self-identification of the EAGLE can consist of an ANSI point code, an ITU international non-spare point code, an ITU international spare point code, a 14-bit ITU national non-spare point code, a 14-bit ITU national spare point code, or a 24-bit ITU national point code, or combinations of these types of point codes. The self-identification of the EAGLE cannot have both a 14-bit ITU-N point code (spare or non-spare) and a 24-bit ITU-N point code.
The self-identification of the EAGLE must contain point codes whose formats match the network the EAGLE is connected to. For example, if the EAGLE is connected to an ANSI network, the self-identification of the EAGLE must contain an ANSI point code. If the EAGLE is connected to an ITU international network, the self-identification of the EAGLE must contain an ITU international point code. If the EAGLE is connected to an ITU national network, the self-identification of the EAGLE must contain either a 14-bit or a 24-bit ITU national point code.
The self-identification of the EAGLE can contain capability point codes. A capability point code is used by the SS7 protocol to identify a group of functionally related nodes in the signaling network. The self-identification of the EAGLE can contain up to 96 capability point codes which can be all one point code network type, or a mixture of all three point code network types.
The EAGLE can contain an ANSI capability point code, an ITU national capability point code (spare or non-spare), and either a 14-bit (spare or non-spare) or a 24-bit ITU-N capability point code.
Note:
The self-identification of the EAGLE cannot contain private point codes, and private point codes cannot be assigned as capability point codes.ITU international and 14-bit ITU national spare point codes can be specified only if the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature is enabled. The status of this feature can be verified by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. If the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature is not enabled, perform the Activating the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support Feature to enable the ITU National and International Spare Point Code Support feature.
The self-identification of the EAGLE can also contain a CLLI, the common language location identifier of the EAGLE.
The CLLI of the EAGLE cannot match the CLLI of any destination point code. Use the rtrv-dstn command to verify the CLLIs of the destination point codes in the database.
If the CLLI of the Eagle is changed and the SEAS over IP feature is enabled and turned on, the CCSMR configuration must be updated with the new CLLI. Perform the procedures in the "SEAS over IP Configuration Procedures" chapter in the Database Administration - System Management User's Guide to update the CCSMR configuration.
If the CLLI of the EAGLE is to be changed, and the Eagle Support for Integrated Sentinel (E5IS) feature is on, the EISCOPY option must be off before the chg-sid command is executed. The value of the EISCOPY option can be verified with the rtrv-eisopts command. After the chg-sid command is executed, the EISCOPY option must be changed back to on.
cpctype parameter with the capability point code parameters, cpc/cpca/cpci/cpcn/cpcn24, or the new capability point code parameters, ncpc/ncpca/ncpci/ncpcn/ncpcn24. The EAGLE supports these types of capability point codes.cpctype=stp parameter. STP capability point codes can be any point code type. STP capability point codes can be specified regardless of which features are enabled or turned on. cpctype=lnp parameter. LNP capability point codes can be only ANSI point codes, specified with either the cpc, cpca,ncpc, or ncpca parameters. The LNP feature must be enabled to specify the cpctype=lnp parameter. This can be verified with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. If the LNP feature is enabled, the entry LNP TNs is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat command output with a quantity greater than zero. If any of these capability point codes are shown in the rtrv-sid output: INP, EIR, G-Port, G-Flex, MNP, V-Flex, ATINPQ; then LNP capability point codes cannot be provisioned. If any of these features are enabled, and turned on if required: INP, ANSI-41 INP Query, EIR, G-Port, A-Port, G-Flex, IS41 GSM Migration, V-Flex, ATINP; then LNP capability point codes cannot be provisioned. If the LNP feature is not enabled, perform the procedures in ELAP Administration and LNP Feature Activation User's Guide to enable the LNP feature.
cpctype=inp parameter. INP capability point codes can be either an ITU-I, 14-bit ITU-N, or 24-bit ITU-N point code, specified with either the cpci, cpcn, cpcn24, ncpci, ncpcn, or ncpcn24 parameters. The INP or ANSI-41 INP Query feature must be enabled and turned on to specify the cpctype=inp parameter. Enter the rtrv-ctrl-feat command to verify whether or not the INP or ANSI-41 INP Query feature is enabled and turned on. If LNP capability point codes are shown in the rtrv-sid output, or the LNP feature is enabled, INP capability point codes cannot be provisioned. If either the INP or ANSI-41 INP Query feature is not enabled or turned on, perform the procedures in the INP/AINPQ User's Guide to enable and turn on the INP or ANSI-41 INP Query feature.
cpctype=eir parameter. EIR capability point codes can be either an ITU-I, 14-bit ITU-N, or 24-bit ITU-N point code, specified with either the cpci, cpcn, cpcn24, ncpci, ncpcn, or ncpcn24 parameters.

If LNP capability point codes are shown in the rtrv-sid output, or the LNP feature is enabled, EIR capability point codes cannot be provisioned. If the EIR feature is not enabled or turned on, perform the procedures in EIR User's Guide to enable and turn on the EIR feature.
cpctype=gflex parameter. G-Flex capability point codes can be any point code type. The G-Flex feature must be enabled and turned on to specify the cpctype=gflex parameter. Enter the rtrv-ctrl-feat command to verify whether or not the G-Flex feature is enabled and turned on. If LNP capability point codes are shown in the rtrv-sid output, or if the LNP feature is enabled, G-Flex capability point codes cannot be provisioned. If the G-Flex feature is not enabled or turned on, perform the procedures in G-Flex User's Guide to enable and turn the G-Flex feature on. cpctype=gport parameter. G-Port capability point codes can be any point code type. The G-Port feature must be enabled to specify the cpctype=gport parameter. Enter the rtrv-ctrl-feat command to verify whether or not the G-Port feature is enabled. If LNP or MNP capability point codes are shown in the rtrv-sid output, or the LNP, A-Port, or IS41 GSM Migration features are enabled, G-Port capability point codes cannot be provisioned. If the G-Port feature is not enabled, perform the procedures in G-Port User's Guide to enable the G-Port feature. cpctype=mnp parameter. MNP capability point codes can be any point code type. The A-Port feature or IS41 GSM Migration feature must be enabled to specify the cpctype=mnp parameter. Enter the rtrv-ctrl-feat command to verify whether or not the A-Port feature or IS41 GSM Migration feature is enabled. If LNP or G-Port capability point codes are shown in the rtrv-sid output, or the LNP or G-Port features are enabled, MNP capability point codes cannot be provisioned. If the A-Port feature is not enabled, perform the procedures in A-Port User's Guide to enable the A-Port feature. If the IS41 GSM Migration feature is not enabled, perform the procedures in IS41 GSM Migration User's Guide to enable the IS41 GSM Migration feature. cpctype=vflex parameter. V-Flex capability point codes can be any point code type. The V-Flex feature must be enabled and turned on to specify the cpctype=vflex parameter. Enter the rtrv-ctrl-feat command to verify whether or not the V-Flex feature enabled and turned on. If LNP capability point codes are shown in the rtrv-sid output, or the LNP feature is enabled, V-Flex capability point codes cannot be provisioned. If the V-Flex feature is not enabled or turned on, perform the procedures in V-Flex User's Guide to enable and turn on the V-Flex feature. cpctype=atinpq parameter. ATINPQ capability point codes can be either an ANSI, ITU-I, or 14-bit ITU-N point code, specified with either the cpc/cpca, cpci, cpcn, ncpc/ncpca, ncpci, or ncpcn parameters. The ATINP feature must be enabled to specify the cpctype=atinpq parameter. Enter the rtrv-ctrl-feat command to verify whether or not the ATINP feature is enabled. If LNP capability point codes are shown in the rtrv-sid output, or the LNP feature is enabled, ATINPQ capability point codes cannot be provisioned. If the ATINP feature is not enabled, perform the procedures in ATINP User's Guide to enable the ATINP feature.
cpctype=aiq parameter. AIQ capability point codes can be either an ANSI, ITU-I, or 14-bit ITU-N point code, specified with either the cpc/cpca, cpci, cpcn, ncpc/ncpca, ncpci, or ncpcn parameters. The ANSI41 AIQ feature must be enabled to specify the cpctype=aiq parameter. Enter the rtrv-ctrl-feat command to verify whether or not the ANSI41 AIQ feature is enabled. AIQ capability point codes can be specified regardless of which features, other than the ANSI41 AIQ feature, are enabled or turned on. If the ANSI41 AIQ feature is not enabled, perform the procedures in the Analyzed Information Features User's guide to enable the ANSI41 AIQ feature.
The pctype parameter of the chg-sid command determines the format of point codes (but not the ITU international or ITU national point codes) that can be used on the EAGLE, ansi and other. The value ansi means the EAGLE supports point codes that meet the ANSI standard. The value other means that the EAGLE supports point codes that do not meet the ANSI standard. The pctype parameter does not apply to ITU international or ITU national point codes. See the “ANSI Point Codes” in the Point Code Formats section for more information about ANSI point codes.
This procedure causes a change in the routing information for this node. Make sure that all other nodes that route messages to this node are notified of these changes.
The point code of the EAGLE cannot match the capability point codes of the EAGLE. The point code of the EAGLE and the capability point codes of the EAGLE are shown in 1.
The point code and capability point codes of the EAGLE cannot match any destination point codes. Use the rtrv-dstn command to display the destination point codes in the database.
The point code and capability point codes of the EAGLE cannot be defined as a destination point code of a route. Use the rtrv-rte command to display the destination point codes of the routes in the database.
The point code and capability point codes of the EAGLE cannot match any emulated point code (EPC) values that are shown in the rtrv-pct output
The point code of the EAGLE or the capability point codes, specified by the pc/pca/pci/pcn/pcn24, cpc/cpca/cpci/cpcn/cpcn24 or ncpc/ncpca/ncpci/ncpcn/ncpcn24 parameters, must be a full point code and cannot be a cluster point code. A point code containing all zeros cannot be used as a value for ANSI (pc/pca, cpc/cpca, ncpc/ncpca) and ITU-I (pci, cpci, ncpci) parameters. A point code containing all zeros can be used as a value for 14-bit ITU-N (pcn, cpcn, ncpcn) and 24-bit ITU-N (pcn24, cpcn24, ncpcn24) parameters.
If either the cpctype parameter or the capability point code parameter (cpc/cpca/cpci/cpcn/cpcn24) are specified, the other parameter must be specified.
If the new capability point code parameter (ncpc/ncpca/ncpci/ncpcn/ncpcn24) is specified, the capability point code parameter (cpc/cpca/cpci/cpcn/cpcn24) and the cpctype parameters must be specified.
Only one of the new capability point code parameters (ncpc/ncpca/ncpci/ncpcn/npcn24) can be specified with the chg-sid command.
The new capability point code (ncpc/ncpca/ncpci/ncpcn/npcn24) must be of the same point code type as the capability point code (cpc/cpca/cpci/cpcn/cpcn24) specified in the command. For example, if an ITU international capability point code (cpci) is being replaced, then only the ncpci parameter can be specified.
The point code of the EAGLE cannot be changed if it is referenced in the mated application table. Enter the rtrv-map command to verify if the EAGLE’s point code is being referenced in the mated application table. The EAGLE’s point code would be shown in the PCA, PCI, PCN, PCN24, MPCA, MPCI, MPCN, or MPCN24 fields of the rtrv-map command output. If the EAGLE’s point code is referenced by the mated application table, perform the Removing a Mated Application procedure in Database Administration - GTT User's Guide, and remove the mated applications that reference the EAGLE’s point code.
The destination point codes and alias point codes are shown in the DPCA, DPCI, DPCN, DPCN24, ALIASA, ALIASI, ALIASN, and ALIASN24 fields in the rtrv-dstn command output. Secondary point codes are shown in the SPCA, SPCI, SPCN, and SPCN24 fields in the rtrv-spc command output. The EAGLE’s point code and capability point codes are displayed in the PCA, PCI, PCN, PCN24, CPCA, CPCI, CPCN, and CPCN24 fields in the rtrv-sid command output. The EAGLE’s true point code and capability point codes cannot be shown in either the rtrv-dstn or rtrv-spc command outputs.
To assign group codes to a 14-bit ITU-N point code, the ITU duplicate point code and multiple point code support features must be on. If the ITU National Duplicate Point Code feature is on, the entry ITUDUPPC = on is shown in the rtrv-feat command output. If the multiple point code support feature is on, the entry MPC = on is shown in the rtrv-feat command output. For more information on using group codes with 14-bit ITU-N point codes, see the ITU National Duplicate Point Codes section.
Note:
Once the ITU duplicate point code and multiple point code support features are turned on with thechg-feat command, they cannot be turned off. The ITU duplicate point code and multiple point code support features must be purchased before you turn this feature on with the chg-feat command. If you are not sure if you have purchased the ITU duplicate point code and multiple point code support features, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.
If you wish to specify the pcn24 parameter with the chg-sid command and the rtrv-sid output shows the PCN field, the 14-bit ITU-N point code value, shown in the PCN field must be removed with the npcn=none parameter before the pcn24 parameter value can be specified by the chg-sid command. If the PCN field contains both spare and non-spare point code values, both the spare and non-spare 14-bit ITU-N point code values must be removed before the pcn24 parameter can be specified. If no value is shown in the PCN field, specifying the npcn=none parameter is not necessary.
If you wish to specify the pcn parameter with the chg-sid command and the rtrv-sid output shows the PCN24 field, the 24-bit ITU-N point code value, shown in the PCN24 field must be removed with the pcn24=none parameter before the pcn parameter value can be specified by the chg-sid command. If no value is shown in the PCN24 field, specifying the pcn24=none parameter is not necessary.
When the EAGLE is initially installed, the self-identification of the EAGLE must be configured before any destination point codes can be configured in the database.
For the examples in this procedure, the self-identification of the EAGLE is being changed to these values:
ANSI point code = 100-100-100
ITU international point code = 3-75-7
14-bit ITU national point code = 7-9-8-1
LNP capability point code = 006-006-006
The format of the 14-bit ITU national point codes used in these examples is 4-4-4-2.
Canceling the RTRV-DSTN, RTRV-MAP, and RTRV-RTE Commands
Because the rtrv-dstn, rtrv-map, and rtrv-rte commands used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-dstn, rtrv-map, and rtrv-rte commands can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-dstn, rtrv-map, and rtrv-rte commands can be canceled:
Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-dstn, rtrv-map, or rtrv-rte command was entered.
Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-dstn, rtrv-map, or rtrv-rte command was entered.
Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-dstn, rtrv-map, or rtrv-rte command was entered, from another terminal other than the terminal where the rtrv-dstn, rtrv-map, and rtrv-rte commands were 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.
