2 Gateway Screening (GWS) Overview

Chapter 2, Gateway Screening (GWS) Overview, contains an overview of the Gateway Screening feature and the procedures for provisioning the GLS card, gateway screening stop action sets, the threshold for gateway screening activity, and the maximum number of gateway screening rejected messages.

Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of the gateway screening feature and procedures for provisioning these items in the database:

  • GLS cards
  • Gateway screening stop action sets
  • The threshold for gateway screening activity
  • Setting the maximum number of gateway screening rejected messages

The gateway screening tables are loaded onto Link Interface Modules (LIMs) or service modules. Service modules can be any of these cards:

  • EAGLE-Service Module 4 GB (E5-SM4G or E5-SM8G-B cards)

The use of the service modules in the EAGLE is dependent on the combination of global title translation features that are being used in the EAGLE. for more information on the global title translation features, go to Database Administration - GTT User's Guide.

The gateway screening tables provide screening of MTP (LIMs) and SCCP (service modules) messages.

MTP Screening consists of the following items:

  • Allowed Originating Point Code (OPC)
  • Blocked Originating Point Code (BLKOPC)
  • Allowed Signaling Information Octet (SIO)
  • Allowed Destination Point Code (DPC)
  • Blocked Destination Point Code (BLKDPC)
  • Allowed Affected Destination Field (DESTFLD)
  • Allowed ISUP Message Type (ISUP) - ISUP and TUP messages can be screened by the allowed ISUP message type screen.

SCCP Screening consists of the following items:

  • Allowed Calling Party Address (CGPA)
  • Allowed Translation Type (TT)
  • Allowed Called Party Address (CDPA)
  • Allowed Affected Point Code (AFTPC).

The procedures shown in this manual use a variety of commands. If more information than what is shown in these procedures is needed, go to Commands User's Guide to find the required information.

The EAGLE's role in the SS7 network is to provide SS7 message transport between originating and destination signaling points. EAGLEs that route messages to and from other networks also perform gateway screening. The screening process results in a message being accepted into the network or rejected. The criteria for message screening depends on the type of message received by the EAGLE, and the contents of the EAGLE screening tables.

Gateway screening functions on the EAGLE reside within the LIM and the service modules and are defined using screening tables or screen sets which contain a set of rules. Each screen set is uniquely identified by a screen set name. Each rule in the screen set is identified by a screening reference name. Each screening reference belongs to a specific category, which indicates the criteria that is used to either accept or reject an incoming MSU. For example, the category blkopc rejects all MSUs with the OPCs specified in the screening reference. The screening parameters (point codes, routing indicator, subsystem number, etc.) are used to match information in the SS7 message. The screening data is defined by the attributes discussed in the Gateway Screening Attributes section.

Each group of screening references is referred to as a screen set and is identified by a particular screen set name (scrn). The screen set is applied to a particular linkset. This allows the capability, for example, for specific OPCs with particular SIOs and DPCs to be allowed into the network.

With the SEAS interface, the screen set function is performed by a gateway linkset. A gateway linkset combines the functions of a gateway screening screen set and an SS7 linkset specifying the gwsa=on and scrn parameters. Like an EAGLE gateway screening screen set, a gateway linkset defines the screening references that are to be used to screen the messages on the linkset. It also defines the linkset whose messages are to be screened. A gateway linkset can only be configured from a SEAS terminal and not from an EAGLE terminal. The linkset attributes of a gateway linkset can be displayed on an EAGLE terminal with the rtrv-ls command. A gateway linkset is shown by the entry SEAS in the SCRN field of the rtrv-ls command output. The gateway screening portion of the gateway linkset can only be displayed on the SEAS interface.

There are two basic functions, allow and block. In an allowed screen (for example, allowed DPC), if a match is found and the next screening function identifier (nsfi) is equal to anything but stop, the next screening reference (nsr) is identified and the screening process continues to the next screen identified by the nsfi and nsr parameters. If the next screening function identifier is stop, the message is processed and no further screening takes place. If no match is found, the message is rejected.

In a blocked screen (for example, blocked DPC), if a match is found and the next screening function identifier is fail, the message is rejected and no further screening takes place. If no match is found and the next screening function identifier is equal to anything but stop, the next screening reference is identified and the screening process continues to the next screen identified by the nsfi and nsr parameters. If the next screening function identifier is equal to stop, the message is processed and no further screening takes place.

When the screening process stops, other actions can be assigned to the screen set. These actions, called gateway screening stop actions, define the actions the EAGLE can perform on the MSU that passes gateway screening. For more information on configuring gateway screening stop actions, go to the Configuring Gateway Screening Stop Action Sets procedure. The EAGLE currently uses these gateways screening stop actions.

  • RDCT – redirect the MSU for the DTA feature
  • CNCF – convert the PIP parameter with the GN parameter or the GN parameter with the PIP parameter in the ISUPIAM message for the Calling Name Conversion Facility feature.
  • TLNP – ISUPIAMs that pass gateway screening are processed either by the ISUPNP with EPAP feature (if the ISUPNP with EPAP feature is enabled and turned on) or by the Triggerless LNP feature (if the Triggerless LNP feature is turned on).
  • TINP – 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. This gateway screening stop action can be specified only if the TINP feature is enabled.

The allowed OPC and DPC screens are useful in the gateway screening process when specifying particular sets of point codes that are allowed to send messages to another network or receive messages from another network. The blocked OPC and DPC screens are useful in the gateway screening process specifying particular sets of point codes that are not allowed to send SS7 messages to another network or receive SS7 messages from another network.

TUP Message Screening

TUP messages are screened using the Allowed ISUP Message Type screen. The TUP protocol is an obsolete predecessor to the ISUP protocol that remains in use in some areas. To screen for TUP messages, a screen set must be defined to screen for messages containing the service indicator value of 4. This is accomplished by defining an allowed SIO screen in the screen set containing the si=4 parameter.

Since both ISUP and TUP messages are screened using the allowed ISUP message type screen, it is recommended that the screen set contain an allowed SIO screen to screen for ISUP messages, messages containing the service indicator value of 5. Each of these entries in the allowed SIO screen should have separate next screening functions. This allows the screening rules after the allowed SIO screen to have two separate streams, one that ends with screening ISUP messages, the other that ends with screening TUP messages.

The TUP messages can be screened for point codes before the allowed SIO screen with the allowed and blocked OPC screens, and after the SIO screen with the allowed and blocked DPC screens. However, if the screen set does not contain an allowed SIO screen that screens for TUP messages (messages with the service indicator value of 4), the message will be treated by the allowed ISUP message type screen as an ISUP message.

The following commands show how a screen set can be provisioned to screen for TUP and ISUP messages.

ent-scr-isup:sr=is01:isupmt=10:nsfi=stop

ent-scr-isup:sr=tu01:tupmt=1:nsfi=stop

ent-scr-dpc:sr=dpc4:ni=1:nc=2:ncm=3:nsfi=isup:nsr=tu01

ent-scr-dpc:sr=dpc5:ni=7:nc=1:ncm=0:nsfi=isup:nsr=is01

ent-scr-sio:sr=si02:nic=2:pri=0:si=4:nsfi=dpc:nsr=dpc4

ent-scr-sio:sr=si02:nic=2:pri=0:si=5:nsfi=dpc:nsr=dpc5

ent-scrset:scrn=ist2:nsr=si02:nsfi=sio

In this example screen set configuration, messages are screened by the allowed SIO screen si02 for either ISUP or TUP messages. ISUP messages are further screened by the allowed DPC screen dpc5 and TUP messages are screened by the allowed DPC screen dpc4. The ISUP messages containing the ANSI point code 001-002-003 are passed onto the allowed ISUP screen is01. The TUP messages containing the ANSI point code 007-001-000 are passed onto the allowed ISUP screen tu01.

Note:

The gateway screening rules are entered in reverse of the order that the screening process takes place.

Gateway Screening States

Gateway screening on a particular linkset can be set to function in one of four states:

NO SCREENING – Screening is not performed. All message signaling units (MSUs) are passed. This state is set by the gwsa=off and gwsm=off parameters of the ent-ls or chg-ls commands.

SCREEN AND REPORT – Screening is performed. When an MSU fails screening it is discarded, an output message is generated, and measurements are pegged. This state is set by the gwsa=on and gwsm=on parameters of the ent-ls or chg-ls commands.

SCREEN AND DON'T REPORT – Screening is performed. When an MSU fails screening it is discarded and measurements are pegged, but no output message is generated. This state is set by the gwsa=on and gwsm=off parameters of the ent-ls or chg-ls commands.

SCREEN TEST MODE – Screening is performed, but all MSUs are passed. When an MSU fails screening, an output message is generated, but the MSU is still passed. This state is set by the gwsa=off and gwsm=on parameters of the ent-ls or chg-ls commands.

Caution:

When Gateway Screening is in the screen test mode, any action in the gateway screening stop action set specified by the actname parameter at the end of the gateway screening process will be performed.

The gwsa and gwsm parameters are described in the Linkset Parameters section.

Linkset Parameters

Optional parameters of the enter linkset (ent-ls) command or the change linkset (chg-ls) command are used to set the screening state. These parameters are:

SCRN – the name of the gateway screening screen set that is associated with the linkset.

GWSA – Gateway screening action – The value on allows gateway screening to be performed on the linkset. The value off, does not allow gateway screening to be performed on the linkset. This parameter can only be specified if the scrn parameter is specified.

GWSM – Gateway screening messaging – The value on allows output messages to be generated. The value off does not allow output messages to be generated. This parameter can only be specified if the scrn parameter is specified.

GWSD – Gateway screening MSU discard – If gateway screening cannot be performed and the gwsd parameter is set to on, all MSUs on the linkset are discarded. These are two examples of why gateway screening could not be performed.

  • No GLS cards are configured and installed in the EAGLE.
  • The screen set is too big to be loaded onto the LIM or service module.

    The value off does not allow messages to be discarded. This parameter can only be specified if the scrn and gwsa=on parameters are specified.

    Note:

    Discarding all MSUs on a linkset will not allow any MSUs on the linkset to be routed. It is recommended that the value specified for the gwsd parameter is off. The gwsd parameter should only set to on if you wish screen MSUs for gateway screening rather than routing MSUs through the EAGLE.

Refer to Commands User's Guide for more information on the ent-ls or chg-ls commands.

Gateway Screening Attributes

Each screen has attributes which hold information required to perform a particular screening function. The following attributes are required in order to implement all of the screening functions.

The screen set name(scrn) is a four character (one alpha and up to three alphanumeric) value that specifies the name of the screen set.

The screening reference (sr) is a four character (one alpha and up to three alphanumeric) value. Combined with the next screening function identifier (nsfi), it uniquely defines a screening table.

The network identifier for ANSI point codes (ni) is an integer between 0 and 255, the asterisk “*”, or the character “c”.

The network cluster for ANSI point codes (nc) is an integer between 0 and 255, the asterisk “*”, or the character “c”.

The network cluster member for ANSI point codes (ncm) is an integer between 0 and 255, the asterisk “*”, or the character “c”.

The zone for ITU international point codes (zone) is an integer between 0 and 7, the asterisk “*”, or the character “c”.

The area for ITU international point codes (area) is an integer between 0 and 255, the asterisk “*”, or the character “c”.

The ID for ITU international point codes (id) is an integer between 0 and 7, the asterisk “*”, or the character “c”.

The 14-bit ITU national point code (npc) is an integer between 1 and 16383, the asterisk “*”, or the character “c”. The EAGLE supports different formats for 14-bit ITU national point codes as defined by the npcfmti parameter of the chg-stpopts command. No matter what format is defined by the npcfmti parameter, the 14-bit ITU national point code must be entered as an integer for gateway screening. If the format of the 14-bit ITU national point code that you wish to enter for gateway screening is not a single integer, the point code value must be converted into a single integer value. For more information on converting 14-bit ITU national point code values, see the 14-Bit ITU National Point Code Formats section. For more information on the different ITU national point code formats, see the 14-Bit ITU National Point Code Formats section in Chapter 2, Configuring Destination Tables in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide.

Gateway Screening supports using ITU international spare point codes in addition to ITU international point codes, and 14-bit ITU national spare point codes in addition to 14-bit ITU national point codes. The pcst parameter is used to specify the whether or not the ITU international and 14-bit ITU national point codes are spare point codes (pcst=s parameter) or not (pcst=none parameter). For more information about ITU international and 14-bit ITU national spare point codes, see Chapter 2, Configuring Destination Tables in Database Administration - SS7 User's Guide. Gateway Screening does not support using private point codes.

The main signaling area value for 24-bit ITU national point codes (msa) is an integer between 0 and 255, the asterisk “*”, or the character “c”.

The sub-signaling area value for 24-bit ITU national point codes (ssa) is an integer between 0 and 255, the asterisk “*”, or the character “c”.

The signaling point value for 24-bit ITU national point codes (sp) is an integer between 0 and 255, the asterisk “*”, or the character “c”.

The ISUP message type (isupmt)/TUP message type (tupmt) is an integer between 0 and 255, or the character “*”. This parameter specifies either an ISUP message type or a TUP message type for the ISUP screening reference specified in the sr parameter.

The service indicator (si) is an integer between 0 and 15. This parameter specifies a service indicator for the SIO screening reference specified in the sr parameter. The service indicator is the first 4 bits of an SIO.

The network indicator code (nic) is an integer between 0 and 3 or an “*” (asterisk). This parameter specifies a network indicator code for the SIO screening reference specified in the sr parameter. The network indicator code is the last 2 bits of an SIO.

The H0 heading code (h0) is an integer between 0 and 15, or an “*” (asterisk). This parameter specifies the first four bits of a message type for the SIO screening reference.

The H1 heading code (h1) is an integer between 0 and 15, or an “*” (asterisk). This parameter specifies last four bits of a message type for the SIO screening reference.

The message priority (pri) is an integer between 0 and 3. This parameter specifies the message priorities for the SIO screening reference.

The subsystem number (ssn) is an integer between 0 and 255 or an “*” (asterisk). This parameter identifies the SCP application that should receive the message.

The routing indicator (ri) is destination point code (DPC), global title translation (GT), or “*” (asterisk). This parameter indicates whether a subsequent global title translation is required.

  • gt – indicates that a subsequent translation is required.
  • dpc – indicates that no further translation is required.
  • * (asterisk) – indicates all possible values (DPC and GT).

The translation type (type) is an integer between 0 and 255 or a “*” (asterisk). Identifies the type of global title translation. It is the decimal representation of the 1-byte field used in SS7.

The SCCP message type (sccpmt) is an integer with the values 9 (UDT messages), 10 (UDTS messages), 17 (XUDT messages), 18 (XUDTS messages), or “*” (asterisk). This parameter specifies one of these message types and is part of the calling party address screen.

The SCCP management (SCMG) format ID (scmgfid) is an integer from 1 to 255 or “*” (asterisk). This parameter specifies the function and format of an SCMG message and is part of the called party address screen.

The next screening function identifier (nsfi) is the screen function that is required to continue processing the message. It is the next step in processing the message. The values for this attribute are: opc, blkopc, sio, dpc, blkdpc, destfld, isup cgpa, tt, cdpa, aftpc, stop, and fail.

The next screening reference (nsr) is a four character (one alpha and up to three alphanumeric) value. Combined with the next screening function identifier (nsfi), it uniquely defines the next screening table to be used in the gateway screening process.

The gateway screening stop action set name (actname) is a six character (one alpha and up to five alphanumeric characters) value. Specified only with the nsfi=stop parameter, the gateway screening stop action set defines the additional actions the EAGLE can perform on MSUs that pass gateway screening.

The asterisk, or “*”, is a single entry that indicates all possible values for that parameter.

These attributes are not used on all screens. The following list shows which attributes are required for each screening function. There are two types of attributes, search keys and results. The search keys are used to match fields in the SS7 message in order to determine the screening function result. The result is determined by matching a search key with information in the current SS7 message. The result indicates the next step in the screening process.

      Note:

      The Allowed ISUP Screening function table contains both the ISUP message type (ISUPMT) and TUP message type (TUPMT). Only one of these parameters can be specified for an allowed ISUP screen. The parameter value to be used is dependent on the service indicator (SI) value specified in the allowed SIO screen: SI=5 for an ISUP message type, SI=4 for a TUP message type.
  • Allowed CGPA screening function
    • Search Key - SR, NI, NC, NCM,.ZONE, AREA, ID, NPC, MSA, SSA, SP, RI, SSN, SCCPMT, PCST

    Note:

    The NSR attribute can only be specified when the NSFI is not STOP. The NSR cannot be specified with the ACTNAME attribute. The ACTNAME attribute can only be specified when the NSFI is STOP. The ACTNAME parameter cannot be specified with the NSR parameter. NSFI and NSR can only be defined once per screening table.

Use of the Character “c” for the NI, NC, NCM, ZONE, AREA, ID, NPC, MSA, SSA, and SP Parameters

The character c is used in the blocked OPC or DPC screens (for parameters ni, nc, ncm, zone, area, id, npc, msa, ssa, and sp) to allow the screening process to continue for messages with point codes that do not match any point codes in the blocked OPC or DPC screens. The character c is used this way. When screening for a blocked OPC or DPC and the point code being screened does not match any of the point codes in the blocked OPC or DPC screens, the message is not rejected and the screening process continues. To allow the screening process to continue, the blocked OPC and blocked DPC screens must have at least one entry consisting of a screening reference, a point code, a next screening function identifier, and a next screening reference. The point code is in the form of ni=c, nc=c, ncm=c (for ANSI point codes), zone=c, area=c, id=c (for ITU international point codes), npc=c (for 14-bit ITU national point codes), and msa=c, ssa=c, sp=c (for 24-bit ITU national point codes). When the character c is specified, the next screening function identifier and next screening reference must be specified, unless the next screening function identifier is stop (nsfi=stop). Then the next screening reference cannot be specified.

When the point code does not match any entries in the blocked OPC or DPC screens, the screening process is directed to the screening reference with the point code c-c-c or npc=c. The next screening function identifier and next screening reference in this entry are examined to determine the next step in the screening process.

When a blocked OPC or DPC screen is created, the first entry for the ni-nc-ncm, zone-area-id, or msa-ssa-sp must be c-c-c, or the npc must “c.” Subsequent entries can be specific point codes.

If the character c is specified for any parameters ni, nc, ncm, zone, area, id, msa, ssa, or sp, it must be specified for all three parameters. No other values can be used. For example, a point code c-c-255 is not allowed. The point code must be c-c-c. The “*” (asterisk) value cannot be used with the character c (for example, a point code c-c-* is not allowed).

ANSI, ITU international, or 24-bit ITU national point codes using the value “c” can be entered by specifying only the ni=c parameter (for ANSI point codes), zone=c parameter (for ITU international point codes), or msa=c parameter (for 24-bit ITU national point codes), and the nc, ncm, area, id, ssa, and sp parameters can be omitted.

The pcst and npcst parameters, for specifying the ITU international and 14-bit ITU national spare point codes, cannot be used with point codes containing the character “c”.

Specifying a Range of Values for Gateway Screening Parameters

The values of these gateway screening parameters can be specified as a range of values.

ni – the network identifier for an ANSI point code

nc – the network cluster for an ANSI point code

ncm – the network cluster member for an ANSI point code

pri – the message priority in the SIO field of an MSU

h0 – the H0 heading code in the SIF field of an MSU

h1 – the H1 heading code in the SIF field of an MSU

type – the translation type in the called party address field of an MSU

isupmt – the ISUP message type

tupmt – the TUP message type

A range of values is specified with the values that define the range separated by two ampersands (&&), for example, :ni=025&&100 specifies all network indicators for ANSI point codes from 25 to 100.

A range of values for an ANSI point code parameter can be specified with asterisks (*) or single values for other point code parameters. Table 2-1 shows the valid combinations of these parameter values.

Table 2-1 Valid Value Combinations for ANSI Point Code Parameters

NI NC NCM
Single Value Single Value Single Value
Single Value Single Value Range of Values

A range of values for the H0 and H1 heading codes can be specified with asterisks (*) or single values for other heading code parameter. Table 2-2 shows the valid combinations of these parameter values.

Table 2-2 Valid Value Combinations for H0 and H1 Parameters

Asterisk Asterisk

When changing or removing an existing gateway screening entry, the ANSI point code values, priority values, H0 and H1 heading code values, translation type, ISUP message type, or TUP message type values specified with the command must match the values configured in the database for the specified screening reference. If a command is specified with a parameter value that is part of a range of values for that parameter already configured for that screening reference, the command is rejected.

For example, the database contains a gateway screening entry for the range of allowed OPCs 010-010-010 to 010-010-100 in Allowed OPC screening reference opc1. If an attempt is made to remove or change Allowed OPC screening reference opc1 and the ANSI point code 010-010-025 is specified. The command is rejected because point code 010-010-025 is a part of the point code range configured in the database. To remove or change Allowed OPC screening reference opc1, these point code parameters must be specified with the command, ni=010, nc=010, ncm=010&&100.

If the ANSI point code, priority value, H0 and H1 heading code values, or translation type values specified with an enter command is within the range of values already configured for the specified screening reference, the command is rejected. For example, the ent-scr-opc command is entered with the point code 010-010-050 assigned to screening reference opc1. If the database contains the range of point codes 010-010-010 to 010-010-100, specified as ni=010, nc=010, ncm=010&&100, the command is rejected. If the database contains an entry for all point codes with the network identifier of 010 and network cluster of 010, ni=010, nc=010, ncm=*, the command is rejected.

A range of values can be specified when displaying gateway screening entries. The range of values does not have to match the values configured in the database. The range of values specified with a retrieve command is used to limit the number of entries to search for. There are some restrictions for using ANSI point code values with retrieve commands. Table 2-3 shows the valid combinations of the ANSI point code parameters.

Command Summary

This section briefly describes each type of command used in this chapter. There are four commands for each screening function. One to enter the screening information (ent), one to change the screening information after it has been entered (chg), one to delete screening information (dlt), and one to display the screening information (rtrv).

If the command is not accepted, a “Command Rejected” message is displayed. If the command is accepted, a time stamp and a “Command Completed” message is displayed. For example:

E2361 Cmd Rej: Screen set name not defined

or

rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:25:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
ENT-SCR-OPC: MASP A - COMPLTD

Any time a screen set is affected by a command (for example, an entry is added to, removed from, or changed in the screen set) a “Screen Set Affected” message is displayed indicating the percentage of memory that screen set occupies (100% = the maximum space available). This information is useful in determining how “full” the screen set is at any given time. The percentages are calculated after the command is executed. For example, the output message, ENT-SCR-OPC: SCREEN SET AFFECTED - SS01 25% FULL, indicates that after an entry was added to screen set SS01 by the ent-scr-opc command, it occupied 25% of the maximum space available. The following is an example of the output that can be received when a screen set is affected.

Extended Processing Time Required -- Please Wait
Notice: The number of screensets affected is   2.
ENT-SCR-OPC: SCREEN SET AFFECTED - ss01 25% FULL
ENT-SCR-OPC: SCREEN SET AFFECTED - ss04 35% FULL
ENT-SCR-OPC: MASP A - COMPLTD

When a new screen set is created it immediately occupies space which may or may not be over the allowed limit. The user must know how much space has been occupied by the new screen set. For example, if the screen set SCR1 is created, the output of the ent-scrset command has the following format:

Extended Processing Time Required -- Please Wait
Notice: The number of screensets affected is   1.
ENT-SCRSET: SCREEN SET AFFECTED - scr1   95% FULL
ENT-SCRSET: MASP A - COMPLTD

Note:

A screen set can be over 100% full, but it is not recommended that the screen set remain in this condition. The gateway screening process will not function properly using a screen set that is over 100% full. Some entries must be removed from the screen set to reduce the screen set capacity to 100% or below.

Enter Commands

All of the parameters in the enter command are mandatory. If the enter command contains a screening reference that does not exist, a new screening table is created. If the screening reference exists, and an entry that matches the specified parameters does not already exist, a new entry is added to the screening table. If an entry exists already, the command is rejected.

Change Commands

At least one parameter must be changed in the change commands. Parameters that are considered part of the search key must be specified in every chg command (for example, the ni, nc, ncm, zone, area, id, npc, msa, ssa, and sp parameters for the chg-scr-opc command). Each of these parameters has a corresponding “new” parameter (for example, nni, nnc, nncm, nzone, narea, nid, nnpc, nmsa, nssa, nsp) which may be specified in order to change the entry in the screening table. Parameters that are not part of the search key may be specified, but do not have “new” values. For example, the nsfi, nsr, ri, and actname parameters do not have “new” parameters (for example, nnsfi, nnsr, nri, or nactname). If a “new” parameter is not specified, it assumes the value of the corresponding search key parameter. For example, if the nni parameter is not specified, then the ni parameter does not change since the nni parameter assumes the value of the ni parameter. If, however, a “new” parameter is specified, it must follow the same rules as the search keys. For example, if the nni and nncm parameters are not specified, and the nnc parameter is specified as an “*” (asterisk), then the ncm parameter must be an “*” (asterisk). The new data must not already exist in the screening table. If an entry already exists which matches the new data, the command is rejected.

Delete Commands

The use of the asterisk value in a delete command implies the deletion of a specific entry containing that asterisk value, not the deletion of multiple entries whose values may be in the range implied by the asterisk. For example, entering dlt-scr-opc:sr=opc1:ni=*:nc=*:ncm=* cannot be used to remove all entries in opc1.

When the last entry is deleted from a screening table, the entire table is deleted, unless it is referenced by another screening table. If a screening table is referenced and an attempt is made to delete the last entry in the screening table, an error message is displayed.

Retrieve Commands

The retrieve commands for each screening function have the same parameters as the enter commands with an additional parameter called all. The all parameter defaults to no, and can only be specified if no other parameters are specified. If the all parameter is specified and is yes, then a detailed output consisting of every entry in each rule of the indicated screening function type is displayed. There are no rules associated with parameter combinations (for example, if the nc parameter is equal to * then the ncm parameter must be “*”). If an entry is specified using a “*”, then only the entries where that parameter is a “*” is output.

If the NSFI has a value other than STOP or FAIL, then the name of the screening reference to be used in the next step of the gateway screening process (NSR) must be specified. The value of the NSR is shown in the NSR/ACT field.

If the NSFI is STOP, no NSR value can be specified. The gateway screening stop action sets can be specified with the actname parameter if the NSFI is STOP. If a gateway screening stop set has been assigned to the screen, the NSR/ACT field shows the name of the gateway screening stop action set. for more information on the gateway screening stop action sets, go to the Configuring Gateway Screening Stop Action Sets procedure.

If the NSFI is FAIL or STOP and no NSR or ACTNAME value is assigned to the screen, the entry ------ is shown in the NSR/ACT field.

The following is an example of a detailed output using the rtrv-scr-opc command with the all=yes parameter specified.

14-Bit ITU National Point Code Formats

Gateway screening only allows 14-bit ITU national point codes to be provisioned in the database by the enter, delete, or change gateway screening commands, and displayed by the gateway screening retrieve commands as a single number. If a format other than a single number (14-0-0-0) for the 14-bit ITU national point code has been defined by the npcfmti parameter of the chg-stpopts command, the 14-bit ITU national point code must be converted into a single number so that it can be used by gateway screening.

For example, the format of the 14-bit ITU national point code is 4-4-4-2 and the user would like to add point code value 7-7-7-1 into the allowed OPC screen. The point code value 7-7-7-1 would have to be converted to a single number so that the point code can be added to the allowed OPC screen. To determine what multiple part 14-bit ITU national point code is represented by the single number 14-bit ITU national point code in the gateway screening table, the single number point code must be converted to a multiple part point code.

To convert a single number 14-bit ITU national point code to a multiple part point code, perform the Converting Single Number 14-Bit ITU National Point Codes procedure.

To convert a multiple part 14-bit ITU national point code to a single number point code, perform the Converting Multiple Part 14-Bit ITU National Point Codes procedure.

For a definition of the different formats that can be used for 14-bit ITU national point codes, see the 14-Bit ITU National Point Code Formats section in Chapter 2, Configuring Destination Tables in the Database Administration Manual - SS7.

Converting Single Number 14-Bit ITU National Point Codes

To convert a single number 14-bit ITU national point code to a multiple part 14-bit ITU national point code, 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 14781 and 695 are converted to point codes using the 3-8-3-0 format.

  1. The point code is converted to a binary number.

    This can be done with most scientific calculators.

    1. The number 14781 converts to the binary number 11100110111101.
    2. The number 695 converts to the binary number 1010110111.

      Note:

      Make sure the binary number contains 14 digits. If it does not, add leading zeros to the binary number to bring the total number of digits in the number to 14.

      In this example, the binary equivalent for the decimal number 695 (1010110111) contains 10 digits, so four zeros must be added to the beginning of the binary number. The resulting binary number is now 00001010110111.

  2. Divide the binary number into the number of parts required by the format of the 14-bit ITU national point code.

    For this example, the format is 3-8-3-0. Since the last part of the point code format is 0, the point code format contains only three parts. Divide the point code into three parts, the first part of the point code contains the first three digits of the 14-digit binary number, the second part of the point code contains the next eight digits of the 14-digit binary number, and the third part of the point code contains the last three digits of the 14-digit binary number.

    For this example, the binary numbers would be divided like this:

    1. 11100110111101 = 111 00110111 101
    2. 00001010110111 = 000 01010110 111
  3. Convert each part of the point code into a decimal number using the same scientific calculator used in step 1 and separate each part of the point code with dashes.

    The results are as follows.

    1. 111 00110111 101 = 7-55-5
    2. 000 01010110 111 = 0-86-7

      When the 14-bit ITU national point codes are converted from single numbers to multiple part point codes, the resulting value of the multiple part point code depends on the point code format specified by the npcfmti parameter of the chg-stpopts command. When converting the single number point code 14781 to the point code format 3-8-3-0, the resulting point code value is 7-55-5. If point code 14781 is converted to the point code format 4-4-4-2, the resulting point code value is 14-6-15-1.

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.

Gateway Screening Using Duplicate ITU National Point Codes

Note:

The Duplicate ITU National Point Code feature applies only to 14-bit ITU national point codes.

Gateway screening does not support the Duplicate ITU National Point Code Support feature. The point code value specified with the npc parameter can only be a 5-digit number and cannot contain any group code values. However, by assigning a different screenset to the linksets that have different group codes, you can screen on ITU national point codes that have group codes assigned to them. The screenset is assigned to the linkset with the scrn parameter of either the ent-ls or chg-ls command.

For example, in the network in Figure 2-1, if you want to screen out MSUs coming from OPC 6217 in group GE, but allow MSUs coming from OPC 6217 in group FR, you could assign different screensets to linksets LSB1 and LSB2. The screenset assigned to linkset LSB1 would allow MSUs from OPC 6217. The screenset assigned to linkset LSB2 would block MSUs from OPC 6217.

Gateway Screening Configuration

Gateway screening can be configured in a variety of ways, depending on the criteria you wish to screen the messages for. The examples used in these procedures are based on seven example configurations (Figure 2-3 through Figure 2-9). Each example configuration shows the screening order used by the EAGLE, with the screening criteria for each screen, and the order that these screens are added to the database to achieve the screening order, with the command entry required to enter the screening criteria into the database.

Each procedure adding a gateway screening entity to the database contains a table showing the parameters and the data used for the command examples.

Note:

The gateway screening rules table can contain a maximum of 362,700 rules.

The EAGLE can contain a maximum of 255 screen sets.

Each screen set can contain a maximum of 4,000 rules, however the total number of rules contained in all the screen sets cannot exceed 362,700.

These general rules apply to configuring gateway screening entities in the database. Each procedure contains any rules that are specific to that procedure.

  1. The gateway screening feature must be turned on before gateway screening entities can be added to the database.

    Verify this by entering the rtrv-feat command. If the gateway screening feature is off, it can be turned on by entering the chg-feat:gws=on command.

    Note:

    Once the gateway screening feature is turned on with thechg-feat command, it cannot be turned off
  2. A TSM running the GLS application GPL must be configured in the database with the ent-card:type=tsm:appl=gls:loc=<TSM Card Location> command.

    Verify this with the rtrv-card command.

  3. Changing or removing an existing gateway screening entity will change the screening order for the messages on the linkset.

    Verify the new screening order before changing or removing any gateway screening entities.

  4. If the screen set being added to the database includes existing screening references, messages in the linkset being screened will be screened against all entries in those screening references.

    This could allow a message into the EAGLE that was not supposed to be allowed in, or a message blocked from the EAGLE that is supposed to be allowed in. Verify the contents of existing screening references to make sure that you want all messages in the linkset screened against all entries in the existing screening references.

  5. The gateway screening entity specified by the nsfi and nsr parameters must be in the database.
  6. If the nsfi and nsr parameters do not reference an existing screening entity, the nsfi parameter must be set to stop and the nsr parameter cannot be specified.

    When the nsfi parameter is set to stop, the gateway screening process stops at the specified screen.

  7. The actname parameter, specifying the gateway screening stop action set assigned to the screen, can only be specified with the nsfi=stop parameter.

    Caution:

    When Gateway Screening is in the screen test mode, as defined by the linkset parametersgwsa=off andgwsm=on, any action in the gateway screening stop action set specified by theactname parameter at the end of the gateway screening process will be performed.
  8. The word SEAS cannot be used as a value for the scrn parameter of the ent-scrset, dlt-scrset, and chg-scrset commands.

    The word SEAS is used in the rtrv-ls command output, in the SCRN field, to show gateway linksets created on the SEAS interface. A gateway linkset can only be configured from a SEAS terminal and not from an EAGLE terminal. Gateway linksets can only be displayed from the SEAS interface.

  9. When removing gateway screening entities from the database, the specified entity cannot be removed if it is referenced by other gateway screening entities.

    If it is referenced by other gateway screening entities, either the nsfi parameter in those gateway screening entities must be changed to stop, or the nsfi and nsr parameters in the those gateway screening entities must be changed to reference other gateway screening entities.

  10. Point code values containing all zeros, shown in the following list, cannot be specified for any gateway screening command:
    • ANSI Point Code - 000-000-000
    • ITU-I Point Code - 0-000-0
  11. A screening reference may contain both 14-bit and 24-bit ITU national point codes, only if the internal values of these point codes are not the same.

    For example, the 14-bit ITU national point code 1 (npc=1) and the 24-bit ITU national point code 000-000-001 (msa=0, ssa=0, sp=1) cannot be specified for the same screening reference as both of these point codes have the same internal value. This would also apply to using the asterisk as a point code value. The npc=* and the msa=*, ssa=*, sp=* parameters cannot be specified in the same screening reference.

  12. If the last entry in the specified screening reference is removed from the database, the screening reference is removed from the database.

    If an attempt is made to display that specified screening reference name (for example, entering the rtrv-scr-opc:sr=iec command after removing the last entry in the allowed OPC screen IEC), the output shows that the specified screening reference name is not in the database, as shown in this example. the following error message is displayed showing that the specified screening reference name could not be found in the database.

    E2573 Cmd Rej: SR or NSR does not reference an existing SR
  13. The EAGLE screens messages in a hierarchical fashion.

    For example, allowed OPC screens are checked before blocked OPC screens; blocked OPC screens are checked before allowed SIO screens, and so on. The gateway screening entities must be entered in reverse of the order that the screening process takes place (see Figure 2-2). To add gateway screening entities into the database, the first entity to be entered must be the entity that you want to stop screening the message on. The other entities follow in the proper order and the screen set is the last entity to be added into the database. The screen set entity must be in the database for gateway screening to take place. Table 2-8 The following lists shows the order of the MTP gateway screening process and the SCCP gateway screening process and the order that these gateway screening entities must be entered into the database.

    * The allowed ISUP screen can contain ISUP and TUP message types.

    Using the ent-ls or chg-ls commands, the screen set can then be assigned to a linkset and all messages on that linkset are screened for acceptance into the network.

    When the copy-disk or copy-tbl commands are issued, the database on disk is locked. A DB Timeout alarm is generated due to the LIM cards inability to download GWS data. Once the command completes, the LIM card is able to download the dataset.

Adding a GLS Card

This procedure is used to add a card to support the gateway screening feature (a GLS card), shown in Table 2-9, using the ent-card command.

Table 2-9 GLS Card Types

Card Type Part Number
SLIC 7094646

The ent-card command uses these parameters.

:loc – The location of the card being added to the database.

:type – The type of card being added to the database. For this procedure, the value of this parameter is tsm.

:appl – The application software that is assigned to the card. For this procedure, the value of this parameter is gls.

:force – Allow the LIM to be added to the database even if there are not enough service modules to support the number of LIMs in the EAGLE. This parameter is obsolete and is no longer used.

The shelf to which the card is to be added, must already be in the database. This can be verified with the rtrv-shlf command. If the shelf is not in the database, see the Adding a Shelf procedure in Database Administration – System Management User's Guide.

The card cannot be added to the database if the specified card location already has a card assigned to it.

Before the card can be configured in the database for the gateway screening feature, the gateway screening feature must be turned on with the chg-feat command. The rtrv-feat command can verify that the gateway screening feature is on.

Note:

After the Gateway Screening feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, the feature cannot be turned off.

The EAGLE can contain a maximum of eight GLS cards. The examples in this procedure are used to add a GLS card in card slot 1212 to the database.

Adding a GLS Card

  1. Display the cards in the EAGLE using the rtrv-card command.

    This is an example of the possible output. Cards should be distributed throughout the EAGLE for proper power distribution. Refer to Installation Guide for the shelf power distribution. This is an example of the possible output.

    1314   LIMDS0    SS7ANSI   sp7           A    1    sp5           B    1

    If the APPL field of the rtrv-card command output shows no cards assigned to the GLS application continue the procedure with 2.

  2. Verify that the gateway screening feature is on, by entering the rtrv-feat command.

    If the gateway screening feature is on, the GWS field should be set to on. For this example, the gateway screening feature is off.

    Note:

    Thertrv-feat command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by thertrv-feat command, see thertrv-feat command description inCommands User's Guide.

    If the Gateway Screening feature is on, continue the procedure with 4

    If the Gateway Screening feature is not on, continue the procedure with 3.

  3. If the gateway screening feature is not on, shown by the GWS = off entry in the rtrv-feat command output in 2 , turn the gateway screening feature on by entering this command.

    chg-feat:gws=on

    Note:

    After the Gateway Screening feature is turned on with thechg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

    When the chg-feat has successfully completed, this message should appear.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:27:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    CHG-FEAT: MASP A - COMPLTD

    Continue the procedure with 4.

  4. Display the GLS cards that are in the database by entering this command.

    rept-stat-card:appl=gls

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 08-11-01 16:07:48 GMT  EAGLE5 46.6.0.0.0

    Command Completed.

    SLICs are shown by the entry GLSHC in the GPL column of the rept-stat-gpl output. SLICs are shown by the entry GLS in the GPL column of the rept-stat-gpl output. Continue the procedure by performing one of these actions.

  5. Verify that the GLS card has been physically installed into the proper location.

    If the GLS card is in the required card location, continue the procedure with 6.

    If the GLS card is not in the required card location, continue with 6.

    Caution:

    If the versions of the flash GPLs on the SLIC do not match the flash GPL versions in the database when the SLIC is inserted into the card slot, UAM 0002 is generated indicating that these GPL versions do not match. If UAM 0002 has been generated, perform the alarm clearing procedure for UAM 0002 in Unsolicited Alarm and Information Messages Reference before proceeding with this procedure.
  6. Add the GLS card to the database using the ent-card command.

    For this example, enter this command.

    ent-card:loc=1212:type=slic:appl=gls

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

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:28:30 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    ENT-CARD: MASP A - COMPLTD
  7. Verify the changes using the rtrv-card command with the card location specified.

    For this example, enter this command.

    rtrv-card:loc=1212

    This is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:29:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    CARD   TYPE      APPL      LSET NAME     LINK SLC  LSET NAME     LINK SLC
    1212   SLIC      GLS
  8. Put the card in service using the rst-card command with the card location specified in 6 . For this example, enter this command.

    rst-card:loc=1212

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

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 08:21:07 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
    Card has been allowed.
  9. Backup 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.

Removing a GLS Card

This procedure is used to remove GLS cards, used by gateway screening, from the database using the dlt-card command. The card cannot be removed if it does not exist in the database.

Caution:

If the GLS card is the last GLS card in service, removing this card from the database will disable the Gateway Screening feature.

The examples in this procedure are used to remove the GLS card in card location 1205.

Canceling the REPT-STAT-CARD Command

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

  • Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered.
  • Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rept-stat-card command was entered, from another terminal other that the terminal where the rept-stat-card 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 Commands User's Guide.

  1. Display the cards in the database using the rtrv-card command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

E5-OAM Integrated GLS Feature Activation Procedure

This procedure is used to activate the integrated generic loading services (GLS) feature.

Before this feature can be enabled, the Eagle must have an E5 maintenance and administration subsystem processor (MASP) and the GWS feature must be activated. The GWS feature is unaffected by this feature being enabled and turned on.

The integrated GLS feature can be turned off after the feature is turned on; however, it cannot be disabled once the feature is enabled.

The Integrated GLS feature cannot be enabled with a temporary Feature Access Key (FAK).

For details about the commands used in this procedure, refer to Commands User's Guide.

When the integrated GLS feature is turned on:
  • The E5-MASPs support GLS functionality. That means the E5-MASPs are able to accept the binding requests for GWS screen sets from network cards, bind the requested screen sets successfully, and load the screen sets to the requested network cards.
  • The GLS cards shall remain in IS-NR state but will not serve any new binding requests from network cards.
  • When Eagle is running in duplex mode, both active and standby E5-MASPs handle the binding request. The screenset binding load is dynamically distributed between Active and Standby E5 MASP. In simplex mode, active E5-MASP handles all binding requests from network cards.

When the integrated GLS feature is turned off (enabled or not), the E5-MASPs will not serve requests for binding screen sets. The GLS cards will handle new screenset binding requests.

When the integrated GLS feature activation procedure is completed, all GLS functionality automatically migrates from E5-TSM cards to E5-MASPs.

Activating the Integrated GLS Feature

Complete these steps to activate the integrated GLS feature.

  1. Verify that the GWS feature activated using the rtrv-feat command.
  2. If the GWS feature is not activated, activate the GWS feature using the instructions provided in Gateway Screening Configuration before proceeding.
  3. Enter the enable-ctrl-feat command to enable the integrated GLS feature: enable-ctrl-feat:partnum=893038901:fak=<Feature Access Key>.
  4. Enter chg-ctrl-feat:partnum=893038901:status=on

Configuring Gateway Screening Stop Action Sets

This procedure is used to add a gateway screening stop action set to the database or change an existing gateway screening stop action set using the chg-gws-actset command.

The gateway screening stop action sets define the actions that are performed on the MSU when the gateway screening process has stopped. These gateway screening stop action sets replace the copy and redirect parameters that have been used with the gateway screening commands when the gateway screening process stops.

The database can contain a maximum of 16 gateway screening stop action sets, with each set containing a maximum of 10 gateway screening stop actions. These are the current gateway screening stop actions.

  • RDCT – redirect the MSU for the DTA feature
  • CNCF – convert the PIP parameter with the GN parameter or the GN parameter with the PIP parameter in the ISUP IAM message for the Calling Name Conversion Facility feature.
  • TLNP – ISUP IAMs that pass gateway screening are processed either by the ISUP NP with EPAP feature or by the Triggerless LNP feature. This gateway screening stop action is discussed in more detail in the Configuring TLNP Gateway Screening Stop Action Sets procedure.
  • TINP – 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. This gateway screening stop action can be specified only if the TINP stop action is assigned to a stop action set. If the TINP feature is enabled and turned on, the ISUP NP with EPAP feature (if the ISUP NP with EPAP feature is enabled) is overridden.
  • TIF, TIF2, TIF3 - TIF processing is applied to the messages that pass Gateway Screening. These gateway screening stop actions can be specified only if the tinp, tif, tif2, or tif3 stop action is already assigned to a gateway screening stop action set, or if any of these features are enabled.
    • TIF Number Portability
    • TIF SCS Forwarding
    • TIF Simple Number Substitution
    • TIF Selective Screening
  • SCCP - This gateway screening stop action is associated with the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature (part number 893035601) and can be specified only if this feature is enabled. If this stop action is configured and the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature is turned on, MTP routed SCCP UDT/XUDT messages that pass Gateway Screening are forwarded to the service modules for further processing.

    Note:

    The MTP Msgs for SCCP Apps feature (part number 893017401) takes precedence over the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature. If the MTP Msgs for SCCP Apps feature is enabled and turned on, all MTP routed SCCP messages are forwarded to the service modules for further processing whether or not the SCCP gateway screening stop action is specified.
  • NONE – no action is performed on the MSU.
  • DUP - This gateway screening stop action is used to duplicate the incoming MSU without affecting the processing of the original MSU. The duplicated MSU will be routed to a point code specified in the STPOPTS table under the GDPC parameter. The duplicated MSU is a priority 0 message.
  • STRIP - This gateway screening stop action is used to de-capsulate the MSU that was encapsulated by the REDIRECT stop action.

Caution:

When Gateway Screening is in the screen test mode, as defined by the linkset parameters gwsa=off and gwsm=on, any action in the gateway screening stop action sets created in this procedure will be performed.

The chg-gws-actset command uses these parameters.

:actid – The ID number of the gateway screening stop action set. The value of this parameter is from 4 to 16.

:actname – The name of the gateway screening stop action set consisting of 1 alphabetic character followed by up to 5 alphanumeric characters.

:force – The force=yes parameter must be specified when changing the gateway screening stop actions of an existing gateway screening stop action set.

:all=none – sets the value of each gateway screening stop action in the gateway screening stop action set to none. Refer to the procedure Removing Gateway Screening Stop Action Sets for information about using this parameter.

:act1 to :act10 – The ten gateway screening stop actions for each gateway screening stop action set. Gateway screening stop action 1 (act1) is the first stop action to be performed and gateway screening stop action 10 (act10) is the last stop action to be performed on the MSU.

The first three gateway screening stop action sets (actid=1, actid=2, and actid=3) are already defined with the existing gateway screening stop actions shown in Table 2-10.

Table 2-10 Gateway Screening Stop Action Definitions If the CNCF Feature Is Off

Gateway Screening Stop Action ID Gateway Screening Stop Action Set Name Stop Action 1 Stop Action 2 Action Performed by the EAGLE
2 rdct rdct redirect the MSU for the DTA feature

The word none cannot be used for the actname parameter.

The force=yes parameter must be specified when changing an existing gateway screening stop action set.

If the copy gateway screening action is specified with the chg-gws-actset command, it must be specified with the act1 parameter.

A specific gateway screening stop action can only be specified once in a specific gateway screening stop action set. For example, the chg-gws-actset command cannot be executed if the copy gateway screening stop action is specified for gateway screening stop action parameters act1 and act2 as shown in this command example.

chg-gws-actset:actid=4:act1=copy:act2=copy

The value of the actname parameter must be unique. The value of this parameter is used by the actname parameter in the gateway screening commands and is shown in the NSR/ACT field of the outputs of the retrieve gateway screening commands to define the action that is performed on the MSU that passes gateway screening.

When a gateway screening stop action set is being entered in to the database for the first time, the name of the gateway screening stop action set (actname) must be added to the database before any gateway screening stop actions are assigned to the gateway screening stop action set.

Table 2-11 shows the combinations of parameter values that can be specified for act1, act2, and act3 parameters for gateway screening stop action sets 4 through 16.

    chg-gws-actset:actid=14:actname=sccpb:act1=copy:act2=sccp

    If an existing gateway screening stop action set is being changed, the force=yes parameter must be specified with the chg-gws-actset command.

    The force=yes parameter can be specified with the chg-gws-actset command if a new GWS stop action set is being created, but is not necessary.

    The actname parameter must be specified for a new GWS stop action set. The actname parameter is not required, but can be specified, if an existing stop action set is being changed.

    If the actname parameter value is different from what is shown in the rtrv-gws-actset output for the GWS stop action set being changed, the name of the GWS stop action set will be changed to the new actname parameter value (see the first Caution).

    Caution:

    Changing the name of an existing GWS stop action set will prevent the actions defined in the GWS stop action set from being used to process the MSUs that pass gateway screening. If the name of the GWS stop action set is changed, enter the gateway screening retrieve commands (rtrv-scrset, rtrv-scr-opc, rtrv-scr-blkopc, rtrv-scr-sio, rtrv-scr-dpc, rtrv-scr-blkdpc, rtrv-scr-destfld, rtrv-scr-isup, rtrv-scr-cgpa, rtrv-scr-tt, rtrv-scr-cdpa, and rtrv-scr-aftpc) with the actname parameter and the old GWS stop action set name to identify the screens that need to be changed to use the new GWS stop action set name. To change these screens, perform the appropriate procedures in this user's guide.

    Caution:

    Caution must be used when changing the stop actions in existing gateway screening stop action sets because these gateway screening stop action sets may be used by one or more gateway screening rules. Changes in the existing gateway screening stop action sets will change how MSUs that pass gateway screening are processed.

    Caution:

    Caution must be used when specifying the RDCT stop action in an existing GWS stop action set. Specifying the RDCT stop action for Allowed OPC screens containing the adjacent point code of a linkset, for Allowed SIO screens containing the service indicator values 1 (SI=1) or 2 (SI=2), or for Allowed DPC screens containing the EAGLE's point code can cause signaling link failures. To verify whether or not the GWS stop action set name used in this procedure is referenced by these screens, enter the rtrv-scr-opc, rtrv-scr-sio, or rtrv-scr-dpc commands, with the actname parameter and the GWS stop action set name used in this procedure.

    When each of these commands have successfully completed, this message should appear.

Configuring TLNP Gateway Screening Stop Action Sets

This procedure is used to add a gateway screening stop action set containing the TLNP gateway screening stop action to the database using the chg-gws-actset command.

The gateway screening stop action sets define the actions that are performed on the MSU when the gateway screening process has stopped.

The database can contain a maximum of 16 gateway screening stop action sets, with each set containing a maximum of 10 gateway screening stop actions. For this procedure only two gateway screening stop actions can be used.

  • TLNP – 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 LNP feature is enabled and 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.

    The status of the ISUP NP with EPAP feature can be verified with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. The ISUP NP with EPAP feature also requires that the G-Port feature is enabled and that Gateway Screening feature is turned on. The status of the G-Port feature can be verified with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. The status of the Gateway Screening feature can be verified with the rtrv-feat command. Enabling the G-Port feature is discussed in more detail in G-Port User's Guide.

    Caution:

    When Gateway Screening is in the screen test mode, as defined by the linkset parametersgwsa=off andgwsm=on, any action in the gateway screening stop action sets created in this procedure will be performed.

The chg-gws-actset command in this procedure uses these parameters.

:actid – The ID number of the gateway screening stop action set. The value of this parameter is from 4 to 16.

:actname – The name of the gateway screening stop action set consisting of 1 alphabetic character followed by up to 5 alphanumeric characters. The word none cannot be used for the actname parameter.

:force – The force=yes parameter must be specified when changing the gateway screening stop actions of an existing gateway screening stop action set.

:act1 and :act2 – Only two gateway screening stop action sets can be defined with the TLNP gateway screening stop action:

  • One set with only the TLNP gateway Screening stop action (defined with the act1=tlnp parameter).
  • Another set with the COPY and TLNP gateway screening stop action (defined by the act1=copy and act2=tlnp parameters).

The value of the actname parameter must be unique. The value of this parameter is used by the actname parameter in the gateway screening commands and is shown in the NSR/ACT field of the outputs of the retrieve gateway screening commands to define the action that is performed on the MSU that passes gateway screening.

When a gateway screening stop action set is being entered into the database for the first time, the name of the gateway screening stop action set (actname) must be added to the database before any gateway screening stop actions are assigned to the gateway screening stop action set.

The tlnp gateway screening stop action cannot be specified with either the cncf (calling name conversion facility) or rdct (redirect) gateway screening actions in the same gateway screening action set.

  1. Verify that the gateway screening feature is turned on, by entering the rtrv-feat command.

    If the gateway screening feature is turned on, the GWS field should be set to on. In this example, the gateway screening feature is off.

    Note:

    Thertrv-feat command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by thertrv-feat command, see thertrv-feat command description inCommands User's Guide.

    If the gateway screening feature is turned on, go to step 3.

  2. If the gateway screening feature is not turned on, shown by the GWS = off entry in the rtrv-feat command output in step 1, turn it on by entering this command.

    chg-feat:gws=on

    Note:

    Once the gateway screening feature is turned on with thechg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

    If the rtrv-gws-actset output shows that these gateway screening stop action sets: one with ACT1=tlnp and the other with ACT1=copy and ACT2=tlnp, this procedure cannot be performed.

    If only one of these gateway screening stop action sets are shown, skip steps 4 through 11, and go to step 12.

    If neither of these gateway screening stop action sets are shown, go to step 4.

  4. Verify whether or not the LNP or ISUP NP with EPAP features are enabled, using the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

    If the LNP feature is enabled, the LNP TNs field with a telephone number quantity greater than zero is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output. If the ISUP NP with EPAP feature is enabled, the ISUP NP with EPAP Active field is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    Zero entries found.

    If the ISUP NP with EPAP feature is enabled, skip steps 5 through 10, and go to step 11.

    If the LNP feature is enabled, perform the “Configuring the Triggerless LNP Feature” procedure in ELAP Administration and LNP Feature Activation Guide.

    If neither the ISUP NP with EPAP or the LNP features are enabled, perform the “Configuring the Triggerless LNP Feature” procedure in ELAP Administration and LNP Feature Activation Guide to use the tlnp gateway screening stop action for the Triggerless LNP feature.

    To use the tlnp gateway screening stop action for the ISUP NP with EPAP feature, and neither the ISUP NP with EPAP or the LNP features are enabled, verify that the G-Port feature is enabled. If the G-Port feature is enabled, the entry GPORT is shown in the rtrv-ctrl-feat output. If the G-Port feature is not enabled, go to G-Port User's Guide and enable the G-Port feature. Then go to step 5.

    If the G-Port feature is enabled, go to step 5.

    Note:

    If thertrv-ctrl-feat output in step 4 shows any controlled features, skip steps 5, 6, 7, and 8, and go to step 9.

    Note:

    If thertrv-ctrl-feat output shows only the HC-MIM SLK Capacity feature with a quantity of 64, then no other features are enabled. Steps 5, 6, 7, and 8 must be performed.
  5. Display the serial number in the database with the rtrv-serial-num command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

    CHG-FEAT: MASP A - COMPLTD
  12. Add the TLNP gateway screening stop action to the database by using the chg-gws-actset command.

    For this example, enter these commands based on the sample configuration shown in gateway-screening-gws-overview1.html.

    chg-gws-actset:actid=4:actname=tlnp:act1=tlnp

    chg-gws-actset:actid=5:actname=cpnp:act1=copy:act2=tlnp

    If an existing gateway screening stop action set is being changed, the force=yes parameter must be specified with the chg-gws-actset command.

    The force=yes parameter can be specified with the chg-gws-actset command if a new GWS stop action set is being created, but is not necessary.

    The actname parameter must be specified for a new GWS stop action set.

    The actname parameter is not required, but can be specified, if an existing stop action set is being changed.

    If the actname parameter value is different from what is shown in the rtrv-gws-actset output for the GWS stop action set being changed, the name of the GWS stop action set will be changed to the new actname parameter value (see the first Caution).

    Caution:

    Changing the name of an existing GWS stop action set will prevent the actions defined in the GWS stop action set from being used to process the MSUs that pass gateway screening. If the name of GWS stop action set is changed, enter the gateway screening retrieve commands shown in**INTERNAL XREF ERROR**with theactname parameter and the old GWS stop action set name to identify the screens that need to be changed to use the new GWS stop action set name. To change these screens, perform the appropriate procedures in this manual.

Removing Gateway Screening Stop Action Sets

This procedure is used to remove a gateway screening stop action set from the database or a gateway screening stop action from a gateway screening stop action set from the database using the chg-gws-actset command.

The database can contain a maximum of 16 gateway screening stop action sets, with each set containing a maximum of 10 gateway screening stop actions. Five gateway screening stop actions have been defined.

The chg-gws-actset command uses these parameters in this procedure.

:actid – The ID number of the gateway screening stop action set. The value of this parameter is from 4 to 16.

:force – The force=yes parameter must be specified when changing the gateway screening stop actions of an existing gateway screening stop action set.

:all=none – Sets the value of each gateway screening stop action in the gateway screening stop action set to none.

:act1 to :act10 – One of ten gateway screening stop actions being removed from the gateway screening stop action set.

The first three gateway screening stop action sets (actid=1, actid=2, and actid=3) cannot be changed or removed.

No other optional parameters can be specified all=none parameter.

The force=yes parameter must be specified when changing an existing gateway screening stop action set.

  1. Display the gateway screening stop action sets in the database with the rtrv-gws-actset command.

    This is an example of the possible output.

  2. Either remove a gateway screening stop action set from the database or remove a gateway screening stop action from a gateway screening stop action set from the database by entering the chg-gws-actset command.

    If you wish to remove the gateway screening stop actions from an existing gateway screening stop action set (stop action sets 4 through 16), enter the chg-gws-actset command with the all=none, actid, and force=yes parameters, as shown in this command example.

    chg-gws-actset:actid=4:all=none:force=yes

    If you wish to remove individual gateway screening stop actions from an existing gateway screening stop action set (stop action sets 4 through 16), enter the chg-gws-actset command with the stop action parameter (act1 through act10) value equal to none and the force=yes parameter, as shown in this command example.

    chg-gws-actset:actid=5:act2=none:force=yes

    Caution:

    Caution must be used when changing the stop actions in existing gateway screening stop action sets because these gateway screening stop action sets may be used by one or more gateway screening rules.

Setting the Threshold for Reporting Gateway Screening Activity

This procedure is used to set the threshold for reporting these gateway screening activities using the set-gtwy-acthresh command.

  • The threshold for MSUs received on a gateway link set.
  • The threshold for MSUs rejected on a gateway link set because of screening.

These thresholds are set on a linkset basis. These gateway screening activities are reported only if the threshold is set and only if the threshold is reached.

The set-gtwy-acthresh command uses these parameters.

:intrvl – The examination period, in minutes, during which the gateway screening activity thresholds are to be tested.

:lsn – The name of the linkset that the thresholds are assigned to.

:recv – The threshold for MSUs received on the gateway link set.

:rej – The threshold for MSUs rejected on the gateway link set because of screening.

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 Commands User's Guide.

Setting the Maximum Number of Gateway Screening Rejected Messages

When an MSU is rejected because of gateway screening, a UIM is sent to the terminal alerting the user that the MSU has been rejected. The EAGLE allows the user to configure the maximum number of these UIMs that can be sent to the terminal for a specified time period. This procedure is used to configure the maximum number of UIMs sent to the terminal and the time period using the set-scrrej-prmtrs command.

The set-scrrej-prmtrs command uses these parameters.

:limit – the number of UIMs to be sent to the EAGLE terminals during the time period specified by the intrvl parameter. The values for this parameter range from 0 to 9999.

:intrvl – the amount of time, in minutes, that the maximum number of UIMs, defined by the limit parameter, can be sent to the EAGLE terminals.

The examples in this procedure are used to set the number of UIMs to 500 and the time period to 20 minutes.

  1. Display the current gateway screening rejected UIM limit in the database using the rtrv-gtwy-prmtrs command.

    The following is an example of the possible output.

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:25:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    LIMIT INTRVL
    1000  15
  2. Set the gateway screening rejected UIM limit using the set-scrrej-prmtrs command.

    For this example, enter this command.

    set-scrrej-prmtrs:limit=500:intrvl=20

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

    rlghncxa03w 06-10-25 15:26:30 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
    SET-SCRREJ-PRMTRS: MASP A - COMPLTD
  3. Verify the changes using the rtrv-gtwy-prmtrs command.

Activating the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action Feature

This procedure is used to enable and turn on the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature using the feature’s part number and a feature access key.

Note:

As of Release 46.3, the fak parameter is no longer required. This parameter is only used for backward compatibility.

The feature access key for the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature is based on the feature’s part number and the serial number of the EAGLE, making the feature access key site-specific.

The enable-ctrl-feat command enables the feature by inputting the feature’s access key and the feature’s part number with these parameters:

:fak – The feature access key provided by Oracle. The feature access key contains 13 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number of the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature, 893035601.

The enable-ctrl-feat command requires that the database contain a valid serial number for the EAGLE, 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, with 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).

This feature cannot be temporarily enabled (with the temporary feature access key).

Once this feature is enabled, provisioning for this feature can be performed, but the feature will not work until the feature is turned on with the chg-ctrl-feat command. The chg-ctrl-feat command uses these parameters.

:partnum – The Oracle-issued part number of the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature, 893035601.

:status=on – used to turn the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature on.

Once the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature has been turned on, it be can be turned off. For more information on turning the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature off, refer to the Turning Off the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action Feature procedure.

The status of the features in the EAGLE is shown with the rtrv-ctrl-feat command.

When the MTP Routed GWS Stop Action feature is turned on, MTP routed SCCP UDT/XUDT messages that pass gateway screening are forwarded to the service modules for further processing.

  1. Display the status of the controlled features by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat command. The following is an example of the possible output.
