4 Point Code and CIC Translation Configuration

This chapter describes the procedures necessary to configure the Point Code and CIC Translation feature.

Introduction

The Point Code and CIC Translation (PCT) feature allows the EAGLE to change the destination point code (DPC) and originating point code (OPC) of an MTP-routed MSU to previously configured values. This functionality allows external networks to continue using the old point codes by emulating and mapping them to the new real point codes within the networks. The feature can also be used to change the circuit identifier code (CIC) for the MSU.

24-bit ITU-N point codes, spare point codes, and private point codes are not supported by PCT entries.

Network nodes can send and receive traffic to and from the emulated point code (EPC) without knowing the real point code that is being emulated by the emulated point code. This ability allows the real point code to be changed transparently from the rest of the network, which can continue using the emulated point code to route traffic.

For each incoming MTP-routed MSU, a DPC lookup is performed if the PCT feature is applied either by using the global setting defined by the chg-stpopts command or using the setting for the incoming linkset defined by the chg-lsopts command. If a translation is found during the DPC lookup, then the DPC of the MSU is replaced by the real point code as the MSU is received by the EAGLE. If the matching translation also contains provisioning for CIC translations, then the CIC of the MSU is changed to the value from the real CIC range.

For each incoming MTP-routed MSU, a DPC lookup and an OPC lookup are performed. If a translation is found during the DPC lookup, then the DPC of the MSU is replaced by the real point code as the MSU is received by the EAGLE. If a real CIC was provisioned in the translation, then the CIC of the MSU is changed to the value from the real CIC range.

If no matching translation is found during the DPC lookup, the OPC lookup is performed. If a translation is found during the OPC lookup, then the OPC of the MSU is replaced by the emulated point code as the MSU leaves the EAGLE. If the matching translation also contains provisioning for CIC translations, then the CIC of the MSU is changed to the value from the emulated CIC range. The OPC lookup is also performed on MTP-routed MSUs which are processed by the service module after feature processing has completed but before the service module sends the MSUs to an outbound LIM for routing. The OPC lookup is performed only on MSUs whose OPC is not the EAGLE's point code, a capability point code, or a secondary point code.

If no matching translation is found during the DPC lookup, the OPC lookup is performed. If a translation is found during the OPC lookup, then the OPC of the MSU is replaced by the emulated point code as the MSU leaves the EAGLE. If an emulated CIC was provisioned in the translation, then the CIC of the MSU is changed to the value from the emulated CIC range. The OPC lookup is also performed on SCCP MSUs after the GTT feature processing has completed but before the service module sends the MSUs to an outbound LIM for routing. The OPC lookup is performed only on MSUs whose OPC is not the EAGLE's point code, a capability point code, or a secondary point code.

To provision the PCT feature, these procedures must be performed.

Changing the Point Code and CIC Translation Quantity

This procedure is used to increase the number of PCT (point code and CIC translations) entries that are allowed in the EAGLE. The EAGLE can contain a maximum of 1000 PCT entries.

The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the PCT quantity by specifying the part number for the PCT quantity and the PCT quantity’s feature access key with these parameters.

:fak – The feature access key supplied by Oracle. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive. If you do not have the feature access key for the PCT quantity you wish to enable, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number for the PCT quantity shown in Table 4-1.

Table 4-1 PCT Quantities and Part Numbers

Part Number PCT Quantity
893037201 25
893037202 50
893037203 75
893037204 100
893037205 150
893037206 200
893037207 250
893037208 1000

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires a valid serial number for the EAGLE to be configured in the database, and that this serial number is locked. This can be verified with the rtrv-serial-num command. The EAGLE is shipped with a serial number in the database, but the serial number is not locked. The serial number can be changed, if necessary, and locked once the EAGLE is on-site, by using the ent-serial-num command. The ent-serial-num command uses these parameters.

:serial – The serial number assigned to the EAGLE. The serial number is not case sensitive.

:lock – Specifies whether or not the serial number is locked. This parameter has only one value, yes, which locks the serial number. Once the serial number is locked, it cannot be changed.

Note:

To enter and lock the EAGLE’s serial number, the ent-serial-num command must be entered twice, once to add the correct serial number to the database with the serial parameter, then again with the serial and the lock=yes parameters to lock the serial number. You should verify that the serial number in the database is correct before locking the serial number. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).

Once the PCT quantity is enabled with the enable-ctrl-feat command, the PCT quantity is also turned on. The chg-ctrl-feat command is not necessary to turn on the PCT quantity.

  1. Display the features that are enabled by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand.

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    If a PCT quantity is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output, and the enabled quantity is 1000, this procedure cannot be performed. The EAGLE can contain a maximum of 1000 PCT entries.

    If a PCT quantity is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output, and the enabled quantity is less than 1000, continue the procedure with Oracle.

    If a PCT quantity is not shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
    • If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output in 1 shows any controlled features, continue the procedure with Oracle.
    • If the rtrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIM SLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, 2 through 5 must be performed. Continue the procedure with 2.
  2. Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command.

    This is an example of the possible output. 

    
rlghncxa03w 10-12-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 43.0.0
System serial number = nt00001231
System serial number is not locked.
rlghncxa03w 10-12-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 43.0.0
Command Completed

    Note:

    If the serial number is correct and locked, continue the procedure withOracle. If the serial number is correct but not locked, continue the procedure with5. If the serial number is not correct, but is locked, a PCT quantity cannot be enabled and the remainder of this procedure cannot be performed. Contact the Customer Care Center to get an incorrect and locked serial number changed. Refer to theMy Oracle Support (MOS)section for the contact information. The serial number can be found on a label affixed to the control shelf (shelf 1100).
  3. Enter the correct serial number into the database using the ent-serial-num command with the serial parameter.

    For this example, enter this command.

    ent-serial-num:serial=<EAGLE’s correct serial number>

    When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear. 

    
rlghncxa03w 10-12-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 43.0.0
ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
  4. Verify that the serial number entered into 3 was entered correctly using the rtrv-serial-num command.

    This is an example of the possible output. 

    
rlghncxa03w 10-12-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 43.0.0
System serial number = nt00001231
System serial number is not locked.
rlghncxa03w 10-12-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 43.0.0
Command Completed

    If the serial number was not entered correctly, repeat 3 and 4 and re-enter the correct serial number.

  5. Lock the serial number in the database by entering the ent-serial-num command with the serial number shown in 2, if the serial number shown in 2 is correct, or with the serial number shown in 4, if the serial number was changed in 3, and with the lock=yes parameter.

    For this example, enter this command.

    ent-serial-num:serial=<EAGLE’s serial number>:lock=yes

    When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear. 

    
rlghncxa03w 10-12-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 43.0.0
ENT-SERIAL-NUM:  MASP A - COMPLTD
  6. Enable a PCT quantity with the enable-ctrl-feat command specifying the part number for the point code, shown in Table 4-1, and CIC translation quantity and the feature access key.

    For this example, enter this command.

    enable-ctrl-feat:partnum=893037203:fak=<feature access key for 75 PCT entries>

    Note:

    A temporary feature access key cannot be specified to enable the routeset quantity.

    Note:

    The values for the feature access key (thefakparameter) are provided by Oracle. If you do not have the feature access key for the PCT quantity you wish to enable, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

    When the enable-ctrl-feat command has successfully completed, this message should appear. 

    
rlghncxa03w 10-12-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 43.0.0
ENABLE-CTRL-FEAT: MASP B - COMPLTD
  7. Verify the changes by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand with the PCT quantity part number specified in Oracle.

    For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-ctrl-feat:partnum=893037203

    The following is an example of the possible output. 

    
rlghncxa03w 10-12-28 21:15:37 GMT EAGLE5 43.0.0
The following features have been permanently enabled:

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.

  1. Display the current PCT entries by entering the rtrv-pct command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

 Unique EPC    is 3 of 250
 Unique RealPC is 3 of 250

 PCT table is (3 of 1000) 1% full.

    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.
  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
  3. Display the self-identification of the EAGLE using the rtrv-sid command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    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.

  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.

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

The dlt-pct command uses these parameters.

:epc/epca/epci/epcn – The emulated point code of the PCT entry shown in the EPCA, EPCI or EPCN columns.

:realpc/realpca/realpci/realpcn – The real point code of the PCT entry shown in the REALPCA, REALPCI or REALPCN columns.

:filtpc/filtpca/filtpci/filtpcn – The filter point code of the PCT entry shown in the FILTPCA, FILTPCI or FILTPCN columns.

:si – The service indicator value of the PCT entry shown in the SI column.

:ssn – The subsystem number value of the PCT entry shown in the SSN column.

:ecics – The emulated CIC start value of the PCT entry shown in the ECICS field.

:ecice – The emulated CIC end value of the PCT entry shown in the ECICE field.

:rcics – The real CIC start value of the PCT entry shown in the RCICS field.

:rcice – The real CIC end value of the PCT entry shown in the RCICE field.

The PCT entry that is being removed must exist in the database. The values for the parameters of the PCT entry must be entered as shown in the rtrv-pct output. If dashes are shown in a field or column, the field or column has no value and the parameter that corresponds to that field or column cannot be specified with the dlt-pct command.

Configuring the Point Code and CIC Translation STP Option

This procedure is used to configure the STP option for the PCT (Point Code and CIC Translation) feature using the chg-stpopts command with the pct parameter. The pct parameter has three values.

  • on – The PCT feature is applied to all MSUs.
  • off – The PCT feature is not applied to any MSUs.
  • lset – The PCT feature is applied to incoming MSUs or outgoing MSUs on a linkset whose PCT option value is on.

The default value for the pct parameter is off.

The value of the pct parameter is shown in the PCT field of the rtrv-stpopts output. The PCT field of the rtrv-stpopts is shown only if a PCT quantity is enabled.

Figure 4-4 Configuring the Point Code and CIC Translation STP Option



Configuring the Point Code and CIC Translation Linkset Option

This procedure is used to configure the PCT (point code and CIC translation) option for a linkset using the chg-lsopts command with the pct and lsn parameters.

The pct parameter has two values.
  • on – The PCT feature is applied to incoming MSUs or outgoing MSUs on a linkset.
  • off – The PCT feature is not applied to incoming MSUs or outgoing MSUs on a linkset.

The default value for the pct parameter is off.

The lsn parameter value is the name of the linkset that is being changed. The lsn value is shown in the LSN column of the rtrv-ls output.

The value of the pct parameter of the linkset can be changed only if a PCT quantity is enabled. The pct parameter value the linkset will effect the linkset's traffic only if the PCT value in the rtrv-stpopts output is lset. The PCT field of the rtrv-stpopts is shown only if a PCT quantity is enabled.

The value of the pct parameter of the linkset is shown when an individual linkset is displayed by entering the rtrv-ls:lsn=<linkset name> command. The pct parameter value is shown in the PCT column.

Canceling the RTRV-LS Command

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

  • Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-ls command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-ls command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-ls command was entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rtrv-ls 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, go to the Commands Manual.

  1. Display the features that are enabled by entering the rtrv-ctrl-featcommand.

    The PCT value of the linkset will have no effect on the linkset's traffic unless the PCT value shown in the rtrv-stpopts output (6) is lset.

  6. Display the existing value for the pct parameter by entering the rtrv-stpopts command. This is an example of the possible output.

    Note:

    The rtrv-stpopts command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-stpopts command, see the rtrv-stpopts command description in the Commands Manual.

    If the PCT value is is lset, continue the procedure with 7.

    If the PCT value is either on or off, perform one of these actions.
  7. Back up the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command. These messages should appear, the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first. 
    
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
