1 Introduction

This chapter contains a brief description of the Triggerless ISUP Framework (TIF) and the features that use TIF. The chapter also includes the scope, audience, and organization of the manual; how to find related publications; and how to contact Oracle for assistance.

1.1 Overview

The Triggerless ISUP Framework (TIF) and the Oracle Communications EAGLE features that use TIF (see TIF Features), along with the Numbering Plan Processor (NPP), provide the following capabilities to support ISUP Number Portability:
  • Complex prefix usage, where prefixes can be used to customize actions
  • Non-NAI-compliant digit handling
  • Complex outgoing digit formats
  • Called Number Portability
  • Calling Number Portability
  • Concurrent Release and Relay support
  • Circular route prevention
  • Calling Party Number Substitution
  • Called Party Number Substitution
  • Simple Called Number Substitution
  • Message Forwarding to SCS
  • Calling Party Blacklisting
  • Called Party Blacklisting
  • TIF Selective Screening

The Service Portability feature also extends number portability to allow a subscriber to move from one technology to another within the same provider.

Most of the TIF features require Oracle Communications EAGLE Application Processor Provisioning (EPAP) provisioning data from the Real Time Database (RTDB). Subscriber data is transferred from customer databases to the EPAP. The EPAP formats the RTDB and loads the RTDB to each Service Module card on the EAGLE. The RTDB data is used in obtaining Number Portability information and in determining how to correctly format the outgoing message.
