Some Conditioning Action parameter values end in a number (such as ac3 or dn5). The number indicates the number of digits in the incoming digit string that will be processed by that Conditioning Action.

Conditioning Actions can be provisioned in two ways: Individual consecutively numbered parameters, or a comma-separated list of values for the ca parameter.

Individual Consecutively Numbered Parameters

The ca1 Conditioning Action parameter must be specified. Any additional Conditioning Action parameters in the command must be consecutively numbered following ca1.

The consecutively numbered Conditioning Action parameters must specify the Conditioning Actions in the order in which they are executed by NPP. The ca1 parameter value must be the first Conditioning Action that will be executed by NPP in the Conditioning Action group; the ca2 parameter value must be the second Conditioning Action that will be executed by NPP in the Conditioning Action group; and so on.

A Comma-Separated List

Conditioning Actions are provisioned as a comma-separated list of values for the ca parameter. At least one value must be specified for the ca parameter. For any additional values, one comma must be entered between each two values.

The ca parameter values must specify the Conditioning Actions in the order in which they are executed by NPP. The first or only value for the ca parameter must be the first or only Conditioning Action that will be executed by NPP in the Conditioning Action group; the second value in the ca parameter list must be the second Conditioning Action that will be executed by NPP in the Conditioning Action group; and so on.

A Service Action performs service-specific behavior on the internationally formatted digit string that it receives from Conditioning Action execution. Service Action behavior is determined by feature-specific functions, state information, and provisioned data from the service that is using NPP. Such behavior can include database access, data evaluation, and any special handling for outgoing messages.

Each service must define the Service Actions that it supports and the sequence (precedence) in which the supported Service Actions must be executed. The service assigns a precedence value (a number between 0 and 100) to each Service Action. Higher precedence Service Actions are always executed before lower precedence Service Actions. NPP executes Service Actions of equal precedence in the order of the consecutive numbers of the provisioned SAx parameters, or in the sequence of the values in the SA parameter comma-separated list.

Table 6-3 describes Service Actions, lists their precedence values, and indicates the calling services that support each Service Action. Up to 8 Service Actions can be provisioned per Action Set.

Formatting Action values can be populated by Service Actions. The Formatting Actions that are populated by the Service Actions in an Action Set must also be provisioned in the Action Set. See Provisioning Formatting Actions.

Service Actions can be provisioned in two ways: Individual consecutively numbered parameters, or a comma-separated list of values for the sa parameter.

Individual Consecutively Numbered Parameters

A Comma-Separated List

Service Actions are provisioned as a comma-separated list of values for the sa parameter. At least one value must be specified for the sa parameter. For additional values, one comma must be entered between each two values.

The sa parameter values must specify the Service Actions in the order in which they are executed by NPP, from highest precedence value to lowest precedence value. The first or only value for the sa parameter must be the first or only Service Action that will be executed by NPP in the Service Action group; the second value in the sa parameter list must be the second Service Action that will be executed by NPP in the Service Action group; and so on.

The Service Action parameter values must specify the Service Actions in the order in which they will be executed, from highest precedence value to lowest precedence value. The values that specify Service Actions that have the same precedence values must be specified in the list in the sequence in which the Service Actions will be executed. See Service Action Precedence for examples of Service Action execution that depend on provisioning sequence.

Formatting Action values are used to construct the outgoing digit string after Conditioning Action execution and Service Action execution are completed. Formatting Action values can be populated by Conditioning Actions and Service Actions. The Conditioning Action or Service Action that populates a Formatting Action in an Action Set must also be provisioned in the Action Set. See Provisioning Conditioning Actions and Provisioning Service Actions.

Table 6-4 describes Formatting Actions, indicates population of the Formatting Action by a Conditioning Action or Service Action, and indicates provisioning considerations. Up to 12 Formatting Actions can be provisioned per Action Set.

Formatting Actions can be provisioned in two ways: Individual consecutively numbered parameters, or a comma-separated list of values for the fa parameter.

Individual Consecutively Numbered Parameters

The fa1 Formatting Action parameter must be specified. Any additional Formatting Action parameters in the command must be consecutively numbered following fa1.

Consecutively numbered Formatting Action parameters must specify the Formatting Actions in the order in which they will be executed. The fa1 parameter value must be the first Formatting Action that will be executed by NPP in constructing the outgoing digit string; the fa2 parameter value must be the second Formatting Action that will be executed by NPP in the Formatting Action group; and so on.

A Comma-Separated List

Formatting Actions are provisioned as a comma-separated list of values for the fa parameter. At least one value must be specified for the fa parameter. For Any additional values, one comma must be entered between each two values.

The fa parameter values must specify the Formatting Actions in the order in which they are executed by NPP. The first or only value for the fa parameter must be the first or only Formatting Action that will be executed by NPP in the Formatting Action group; the second value in the fa parameter list must be the second Formatting Action that will be executed by NPP in the Formatting Action group; and so on.

After successful Formatting Action execution, NPP sends an outgoing NAI value with the outgoing digit string to the calling service.

The provisioned OFNAI parameter value in each Action Set indicates the value to use for the outgoing NAI value: either a provisioned FNAI Class value that NPP maps to the outgoing NAI value, or the NAI that was sent to NPP with the incoming digit string. See Outgoing FNAI Class.

The Filter NAI Class indicates the mnemonic that has the numeric value that must match the incoming NAI value before NPP processing will continue.

NPP maps the incoming service-specific NAI value to an FNAI Class mnemonic (NATL, INTL, NAI1, NAI2, NAI3, UNKN). Each mnemonic is assigned a number value. The incoming NAI value is mapped to the mnemonic with the matching number. For example, if the incoming NAI of 4 indicates an internationally formatted incoming digit string, the INTL mnemonic must be provisioned with the value 4 and the FNAI Class value for the filter must be INTL.

If the service does not need support for an FNAI Class, the mnemonic value is provisioned to NONE. (The digit string formatting is inferred based on a protocol-specific NAI value.) A Rule cannot specify that FNAI Class in the FNAI parameter value.

Provisioning an FNAI Class mnemonic value to NONE for a service can be done only if the Service Rule Set for the service is empty.

The Filter Prefix is a hexadecimal digit string. When an FPFX value is provisioned, the digits at the beginning of an incoming digit string must match the FPFX digits for NPP processing to continue.

The provisioned FPFX value can be a wildcard (*) to consider any digits in the incoming string to be a match.

When the NPP Unlimited SDWC Chars feature is turned on, the provisioned FPFX digits can contain up to 3 single digit wildcard characters (?) in the first 6 digits, but not the last digit if the string is less than or equal to 6 digits. An unlimited number of SDWC characters are allowed for each NPP service.

When the NPP Unlimited SDWC Chars feature is turned off, the provisioned FPFX digits can contain single digit wildcard characters (?) in any positions of the value except the last digit. The total number of single digit wildcard characters in all of the filter prefixes in the Service Rule Set for a service cannot exceed 25.

The provisioned FPFX digits can contain up to 3 single digit wildcard characters (?) in the first 6 digits of the value.

The provisioned FPFX digits can contain single digit wildcard characters (?) in any positions of the value except the last digit. The total number of single digit wildcard characters in all of the filter prefixes in the Service Rule Set for a service cannot exceed 25.

The FPFX string can be populated to the FPFX Formatting Action value when the FPFX Conditioning Action is provisioned in the associated Action Set in the Rule. The FPFX digit string will provide the first digits to be inserted in the outgoing digit string by the Formatting Action processing. The FPFX value in the Rule cannot be a wildcard (*) when the FPFX Conditioning Action is provisioned.

The Filter Digit Length specifies how many digits the incoming digit string must have to match the filter and continue NPP processing. The FDL value can be a wildcard (*) to allow any number of digits to match the filter.

For Rules with FDL=*, the associated Conditioning Action group must contain the ZNX, DNX, or SNX Conditioning Action. For Rules with specific FDL values (not wildcard) the associated Conditioning Action group must process the entire number of digits (by ignoring digits with the IGN Conditioning Actions, by other Conditioning Action processing, or both).

8. Enter the rtrv-npp-srs command with the calling service name and verify that the Rule was removed for the service.

The status for a service must be set to On before NPP will process incoming digit strings from the service:

Before the service status can be set to On, at least one Rule must be provisioned in the Service Rule Set for the service.

The service status should be Off until all service provisioning is complete and NPP is ready to receive and process digit strings for the service.

NPP maps the incoming service-specific NAI value to an FNAI Class mnemonic (NATL, INTL, NAI1, NAI2, NAI3, UNKN). Each mnemonic is assigned a number value. The incoming NAI value is mapped to the mnemonic with the matching number. For example, if the incoming NAI of 4 indicates an internationally formatted incoming digit string, the INTL mnemonic must be provisioned with the value 4.

Any NAI value that is not mapped to an FNAI-Class is interpreted as UNKN (Unknown). The UNKN (Unknown) mnemonic cannot have a value of NONE.

If the service does not need support for an FNAI Class, the mnemonic value is provisioned to NONE. (The digit string formatting is inferred based on a protocol-specific NAI value.)

A Rule cannot specify an FNAI Class mnemonic that has a value of NONE in the FNAI filter parameter value.

Provisioning an FNAI Class mnemonic value to NONE for a service can be done only if the Service Rule Set for the service is empty.

TIF and IDP Relay feature-specific delimiters (DLMA through DLMC) can be provisioned in the TIFOPTS table or TTROPTS table.

NPP initializes 16 delimiters (DLMA through DLMP) by extracting data values from the NPP service delimiters, and replaces the NPP DLMA thru DLMC values with feature-specific DLMA through DLMC delimiter values that are not none from the TIFOPTS table and the TTROPTS table. This replacement applies only to TIF services (TIF, TIF2, TIF3) and IDP Relay services (IDPRCDPN, IDPRCDPN2, IDPRCDPN3, IDPRCDPN4, IDPRCGPN). The DLMA through DLMC values from the TIFOPTS or TTROPTS tables will be used in NPP processing. (The feature-specific provisioning of DLMA through DLMC will be removed in a future EAGLE release.)
