Introduction

7.1 Introduction

This chapter contains the procedures for configuring the LNP feature and the following LNP-related functions and features.

LNP services
LNP subsystem applications
LNP configuration options
Mapping LNP translation types
The Triggerless LNP feature
Increasing the LRN and NPANXX Quantities on the EAGLE
LNP Short Message Service (LNP SMS) feature
ITU TCAP LRN Query (LRNQT) feature

Note:

EAGLE database administration privileges are password restricted. Only those persons with access to the command class Database Administration can execute the LNP administrative functions.

It is possible for two or more users to make changes to the same database element at any time during their database administration sessions. It is strongly recommended that only one user at a time make any changes to the database.

7.1.1 System Prerequisites

Before any feature that is described in this manual can be enabled, the prerequisites listed in Table 7-8 are required in the system.

Table 7-8 System Prerequisites

Prerequisite Verification and Provisioning

Prerequisite	Verification and Provisioning
The system serial number must be correct and locked. For new installations, the system is shipped with an unlocked serial number. The serial number can be changed if necessary and must be locked after the system is on-site. For systems that are being upgraded, the serial number is usually already verified and locked.	Note: The serial number cannot be changed after it is entered and locked in the system. Locate the serial number for the system on a label affixed to the control shelf (1100). Enter the `rtrv-serial-num` command to display the serial number and its locked status. Verify that the displayed serial number is correct for the system. If no serial number is displayed, enter the `ent-serial-num` command (without the lock parameter) to provision the serial number that appears on the control shelf label. Enter the `rtrv-serial-num` command and verify that the serial number was entered correctly. Enter the `ent-serial-num` command with the `lock=yes` parameter to lock the serial number in the system.
A sufficient number of Service Module cards must be equipped.	Enter the `rtrv-stp:type=dsm` command to list the Service Module cards in the system. If additional Service Module cards or cards of a different type are needed, refer to the procedures in Database Administration - GTT User's Guide to add Service Module cards (E5-SM4G, E5-SM8G-B) or to remove DSM cards.
The GTT feature must be on in the system. Some features require an additional GTT-related feature such as EGTT. See the specific feature prerequisites in this chapter.	Enter the `rtrv-feat` command to display the GTT feature status. If the GTT feature is on, the `gtt=on` entry appears in the output. If the `gtt=off` entry appears in the output, use the procedures in Database Administration - GTT User's Guide to turn on and provision the GTT feature and any other GTT-related features and functions that will be used in the system.
