6 Allowed Calling Party (CGPA) Screen Configuration
Chapter 6, Allowed Calling Party (CGPA) Screen Configuration, contains the procedures necessary to configure allowed calling party address screens.
Introduction
The allowed calling party address (CGPA) screen is used to screen SCCP messages from another network. The gray shaded areas in Figure 6-4 shows the fields of the SS7 message that are checked by the CGPA screening function. The screening reference contains a list of point codes and subsystem number combinations.
Gateway Screening Actions
If a match is not found, the message is discarded.
If a match is found, the nsfi
is examined to determine the next step in the screening process. If the nsfi
value is any value other than stop
, the next screening reference (nsr
) is identified and the screening process continues to the next screen identified by the nsfi
and nsr
parameter values.
nsfi
is equal to stop
, the screening process stops and the message is processed. If a gateway screening stop action set is specified with the screen, shown by the actname
parameter value, the message is processed according to the gateway screening stop actions that are assigned to the gateway screening stop action set.
- If the
rdct
(redirect) gateway screening stop action is specified,the message is diverted from the original destination and sent to another destination with the Database Transport Access feature, specified by global title translation, for further processing. - If the
cncf
gateway screening stop action is specified, the PIP parameter in the incoming ISUP IAM message is converted to the GN parameter. The GN parameter in the incoming ISUP IAM message is converted to the PIP parameter. The message is then sent to the node specified by the DPC in the routing label in the message. For more information on the Calling Name Conversion Facility feature, see Calling Name Conversion Facility (CNCF) Configuration. - If the
tlnp
gateway screening stop action is specified, ISUP IAMs that pass gateway screening are processed either by the ISUP NP with EPAP feature (if the ISUP NP with EPAP feature is enabled and turned on) or by the Triggerless LNP feature (if the Triggerless LNP feature is turned on). The ISUP NP with EPAP feature is discussed in more detail in G-Port User's Guide. The Triggerless LNP feature is discussed in more detail in ELAP Administration and LNP Feature Activation Guide. - If the
tinp
gateway screening stop action is specified, ISUP IAMs that pass gateway screening are intercepted by the Triggerless ISUP based Number Portability (TINP) feature and converted to include the routing number (RN) if the call is to a ported number. The TINP feature is discussed in more detail in G-Port User's Guide. - If the
tif
,tif2
, ortif3
gateway screening stop actions are specified, TIF processing is applied to the message. - If the
sccp
gateway screening stop action is specified, MTP routed SCCP UDT/XUDT are forwarded to the service modules for further processing.
Allowed CGPA Screening Actions
Any MSU that does not contain a service indicator of 3 in the SIO field and does not contain the SCCP message types 9, 10, 17, or 18 and reaches this screen in the gateway screening process automatically passes gateway screening and is allowed into the EAGLE.
The value of the
nsfi
parameter is based on the value of
the routing indicator (ri
) parameter.
Table 6-1
through
Figure 6-3
show the valid combinations of
nsfi
values and routing indicator
values.

Adding an Allowed Calling Party Address Screen
This procedure is used to add an allowed calling party
address (CGPA) screen to the database using the
ent-scr-cgpa
command. The parameters
used by the
ent-scr-cgpa
command are shown in the
Gateway Screening Attributes
section. The general rules that apply to configuring gateway screening entities
are shown in the
Gateway Screening Configuration
section.
The examples in this procedure are used to add the allowed CGPA screen data shown in Table 6-2 and based on the example configurations shown in Figure 2-3 through Figure 2-5.

Note:
If you using multiple-part ITU national point codes with gateway screening, see the 14-Bit ITU National Point Code Formats section.The allowed CGPA screen can reference one of the following screens.
- Allowed TT
- Allowed CDPA
Verifying the Gateway Screening Configuration
Enter the following commands to verify that these screens are in the database.
rtrv-scr-tt:all=yes
rtrv-scr-cdpa:all=yes
Gateway Screening Configuration Procedures
If the desired screen is not in the database, perform one of the following procedures to add the desired screen to the database or change an existing screen in the database.
- Adding an Allowed Translation Type Screen
- Adding an Allowed Called Party Address Screen
- Changing an Allowed Translation Type Screen
- Changing an Allowed Called Party Address Screen
Specifying a Range of Values
A range of values can be specified for the point code
parameters
ni
,
nc
, or
ncm
.
If a range of values is specified for any of these parameters, and the value of the other parameters match existing values for the screening reference name, the range of values for the point code parameter cannot include any values for that parameter that are currently provisioned for the screening reference name.
For example, screening reference name
scr1
contains these entries:
SR NI NC NCM SSN RI SCCPMT NSFI NSR/ACT
SCR1 240 001 010 012 DPC 009 STOP ------
SCR1 241 010 020 * GT 017 TT SCR1
Another entry for screening reference
scr1
with the
ni
value of 240 and the
nc
value of 001 cannot be specified if
the range of values for the
ncm
parameter includes the value 010.
The ANSI point code parameter values can be specified as
a single value, a range of values, or with an asterisk (*). The asterisk
specifies all possible values for the
ni
,
nc
, and
ncm
parameters.
Table 6-3
shows the valid combinations of these parameter values.

Specifying a Range of Values
A range of values can be specified for the point code
parameters
ni
,
nc
, or
ncm
.
If a range of values is specified for any of these parameters, and the value of the other parameters match existing values for the screening reference name, the range of values for the point code parameter cannot include any values for that parameter that are currently provisioned for the screening reference name.
For example, screening reference name
scr1
contains these entries:
SR NI NC NCM SSN RI SCCPMT NSFI NSR/ACT
SCR1 240 001 010 012 DPC 009 STOP ------
SCR1 241 010 020 * GT 017 TT SCR1
Another entry for screening reference
scr1
with the
ni
value of 240 and the
nc
value of 001 cannot be specified if
the range of values for the
ncm
parameter includes the value 010.
The ANSI point code parameter values can be specified as
a single value, a range of values, or with an asterisk (*). The asterisk
specifies all possible values for the
ni
,
nc
, and
ncm
parameters.
Table 6-6
shows the valid combinations of these parameter values.
