T

his chapter provides instructions for configuring commands that appear in more than one protocol in the SP201. Use the sections in this chapter that are applicable to your SP201’s setup. Before configuring the protocols for your SP201, be sure you have completed all the configuration procedures in Chapter 2, Configuration Overview.

Note: The commands in this chapter do not configure system-wide parameters. (To configure system-wide parameters, see Section 2.3, System Configuration.)

This chapter contains the following information: • Section 6.1, Non-System-Level Commands Used by More Than One Protocol, lists the commands for configuring the protocols discussed in this chapter.

Protocol

Description

all CAS; ANSI SS7 to ITU C7

Configures parameters that apply to all DS0s on the SP201. On systems using CAS protocols, sets the conditions for sending circuit reset (RESCIR) messages. For ANSI SS7 to ITU C7 conversion, sets use of ANI. See Section 6.2.1, The config sp200 Command. Note: On systems performing ANSI SS7 to ITU C7 conversion, this command is available only if the optional ANI feature has been installed.

Sets up Alternate Number Insertion (ANI). See Section 6.3.1, Configuring ANI Substitution. Note: This command is available only if the optional ANI feature has been installed.

6.2

Configuring Non-System-Level Commands Used by More Than One Protocol The following sections use a standard procedure to configure similar elements on dissimilar protocols: • Section 6.2.1, The config sp200 Command

6.2.1

The config sp200 Command The config sp200 command sets parameters that affect all the channels in the SP201. You can use the config sp200 command to set the conditions that determine when circuit reset (RESCIR) messages are sent. When a CAS channel resets, a RESCIR message (unless suppressed) is sent on the peer SS7/C7 channel, and a valid response is expected and required. That is, if a channel (or a group of channels) receives a reset instruction (for example, a reset chan command) or experiences a power recycle, the SP201 sends RESCIR messages for all CICs associated with the channels as soon as the channels have reset.

Chapter 6: Common Non-System Configuration

The config SP200 command allows the SP201 to be configured so that the RESCIR message is not sent or so that a response is not required. The command also allows you to enable maintenance alert messages. The config sp200 command differs slightly according to the protocol you are configuring. The following subsections present procedures tailored to specific protocols: • Section 6.2.1.1, The config sp200 Command for DTMF or R1 Signaling • Section 6.2.1.2, The config sp200 Command for R2 Signaling • Section 6.2.1.3, The config sp200 Command for N5 Signaling • Section 6.2.1.4, The config sp200 Command for ANSI SS7 to ITU C7 Signaling

The config sp200 Command for ANSI SS7 to ITU C7 Signaling In signaling between ANSI SS7 and ITU C7, the config sp200 command lets you indicate whether to use alternate number insertion (ANI) in calls.

Note: In ANSI SS7–ITU C7, this command is available only in software that includes the optional ANI feature.

How to Use the config sp200 Command in ANSI SS7 to ITU C7 Signaling 1

b

If you want to leave the caller ID position as is, type n and press Enter. ™ The following prompt appears.

Configuring Parameters Specific to ANI This section discusses commands that appear only in software that includes the optional Alternate Number Insertion (ANI) feature.

Note: In addition to commands specific to ANI, other commands may include parameters for ANI. In most cases, these parameters are presented for configuration only if the software contains the ANI feature. If an ANI parameter is presented in software that does not contain the ANI feature, accept the default.

6.3.1

Configuring ANI Substitution You have the option of configuring Alternate Number Insertion (ANI). ANI is used to replace caller IDs or calling party numbers. The following procedure provides guidelines. To see the contents of the ANI table, see Section 9.2.11.3, Viewing the ANI Table.

Note: The commands for configuring Alternate Number Insertion (ANI) are available only if the optional ANI Feature has been installed.

Configuring Parameters Specific to ANI

6-19

How to Use the config ani Command 1

Type config ani x y and press Enter, where x is the starting ANI (caller ID or calling party number) and y is the number of ANIs to configure in this set. (You must specify a value for y, even to add only one ANI.) The program stores the starting number in the ANI table. Then it adds one to the starting number and stores that number in the table. This process continues until y number of ANIs have been stored in the table. ™ A message similar to the following is displayed, followed by the user> prompt.

5 ANIs of 5 added to table. user>

Note: For example, if you enter config ani 12346 5 and then enter show ani, the following ANI table is displayed: 1 12346 5 12350

2 12347

3 12348

4 12349

where the first number in each pair identifies the ANI’s position in the table, and the second number in each pair is the ANI.

Note: An ANI table may contain 0 to 1000 entries. If there are already entries in the ANI table, a new entry is added at the end of the table. If y extends beyond the capacity of the table, only the entries that fit into 1000 positions are added to the table. Any entry after 1000 positions is discarded, and the console displays a message similar to one of the following: If the table already had 1000 entries: ANI Table is full!

If the table already had some entries, but fewer than 1000 entries: Warning !..

only 992 ANIs of 1000 added to table.

Chapter 6: Common Non-System Configuration

How to Delete ANIs from the ANI Table 1

At the prompt, type config ani delete x y and press Enter, where x is the starting ANI (caller ID or calling party number) and y is the number of ANIs to delete from the table. (You must specify a value for y, even to delete only one ANI.) ™ The specified ANI is deleted, as are the ANIs that follow it in the table, until y number of ANIs have been deleted. The console displays a message similar to the following:

-10 ANIs of 10 deleted from table. user>

Note: The value for y can extend beyond the number of entries in the table, but it will have no additional effect. When entries are deleted from the table, the table is compressed to remove any empty positions.

™ If the specified ANI cannot be found in the table, the following error message is displayed.

Requested ANI not found
