Feature Activation Considerations

  • All MO SMS features are mutually exclusive with all features that require ELAP, unless the Dual ExAP Configuration feature is enabled.
  • MO-Based GSM SMS NP and MO-Based IS41 SMS NP can be enabled and turned on at the same time; however, an incoming MSU will be processed by either MO-Based GSM SMS NP or MO-Based IS41 SMS NP based on certain MSU characteristics.
  • MO SMS IS-41-to-GSM Migration can be enabled and turned on independently of the MO-Based GSM SMS NP and MO-Based IS41 SMS NP features.
  • MO-Based GSM SMS NP may co-exist with the MNP SMS and PPSMS features. MO-Based GSM SMS NP intercepts SMS messages after the MNP SMS and PPSMS features process the message.
  • Feature activation procedures described in this chapter can be performed only if the Global Title Translation (GTT) feature is turned on.
  • With the exception of PPSMS, the MO SMS features described in this chapter cannot be enabled if STPOPTS:ANSIGFLEX is enabled.

Caution:

After a permanently-on feature has been enabled and turned on with the enable-ctrl-feat and chg-ctrl-feat commands, the feature cannot be turned off. Because features may overwrite other features or create changes in the database, confirm that you have a license and full technical support from Oracle before turning on this or any feature. If you are not sure whether you have purchased a specific feature, contact your Oracle Sales or Account Representative.

The MO SMS features require Service Module cards running the VSCCP application.

4.2 EPAP Entity Provisioning

Oracle recommends that EPAP entity (SP or RN) administration not be performed until after the Point Code and/or Subsystem Number has been entered into the EAGLE MAP table.
  • EPAP-administered entity data can become out-of-sync with the EAGLE MAP table when the creation of Point Codes and/or Subsystem Numbers in the MAP table is performed after EPAP database administration.
  • If this mismatch is discovered in real-time operations, a UIM is sent to the EAGLE maintenance terminal. (Example UIMs: SCCP did not route - DPC not in MAP tbl, SCCP did not route - SS not in MAP tbl.)

4.13 Provisioning NPP for MO SMS Features

For detailed information about Numbering Plan Processor, refer to Numbering Plan Processor (NPP) User's Guide. NPP and the associated components for MO SMS features are described in Numbering Plan Processor for MO SMS Features.

NPP provisioning is performed in the following sequence:

  1. Provision the FNAI mnemonic values required for filter matches on the NAI values for the service, using the chg-npp-serv command.
  2. Provision the NPP Action Sets with the Conditioning Actions, Service Actions, Formatting Actions, and outgoing NAI value for the enabled MO SMS feature using the ent-npp-as command.
  3. Provision the Service Rule Sets (Rules that specify the filter values and Action Sets) MO SMS feature with the ent-npp-srs command. Servive Rule Sets are Rules that specify the filter values and Action Sets.
  4. Provision any delimiter values used in the outgoing digit string formatting using the chg-npp-serv command.
  5. Change the Service Status to on to allow NPP processing for the specified service:
    chg-npp-serv:srvn=<service name>:status=on

4.14 MO SMS NPP Test Tool

The MO SMS NPP Test Tool sends GSM or IS41 messages to test MO SMS NPP provisioning and display information about all NPP filters, rules, and formatting applied to the messages. The GSM messages flow though NPP Services MOSMSGCDPN and MOSMSGCGPN. The IS41 messages flow though NPP Services MOSMSICDPN and MOSMSICGPN. The MO SMS NPP Test Tool is useful for debugging and tracing changes introduced by NPP to the incoming TCAP Called Party Number (CdPN) or Calling Party Number (CgPN) digits. An MO SMS NPP Test Tool message is not transmitted to the network. All test messages are stored in table TSTMSG.

The MO SMS NPP Test Tool provides the following capabilities:
  • Define up to 10 GSM test messages (Table 4-2)
  • Define up to 10 IS41 test messages (Table 4-3)
  • Invoke the feature with NPP to process the test message
  • Generate a report of the actions taken and the results of the test

Differences between Test Messages and Actual MO SMS GSM/IS41 Message Flow:

  • Test messages are executed from task Npp_Test.
  • Test messages do not contribute to rept-stat-sccp counters displayed under SMSMR service.
  • Test messages do not contribute to measurements.
  • Test messages are not sent to the network.

Refer to Commands User's Guide and MO SMS NPP Test Tool Commands for descriptions of the commands, parameter values, and output examples.

Note:

The specified test message must be set to active=yes before the test is invoked for the message.
