Global Title Translation Association Configuration Mode Commands


Global Title Translation Association Configuration Mode Commands
 
 
The Global Title Translation (GTT) Association configuration mode provides the commands to create the rules for translating the global titles (destination point codes and subsystem address in the messages) used for routing at the SCCP layer.
 
Important: The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).
 
action
This command configures the actions that determine the operation of rules of the global title translation (GTT).

Syntax
action id id type action_type start-digit value end-digit value
no action id id
id
id uniquely identifies an action. The id must be an integer from 1 to 8.
type action_type
The following defines the action rules that will determine how global titles (GT) are translated to locally understood addresses - in most cases point code (PC). The command can be re-issued multiple times to define multiple action rules.
constant: Defines the starting digit in the range of digits in the incoming global titles that are translated to fixed addresses.
fixed: Defines the starting digit in a fixed range of digits used for performing GTT.
gt-to-pc: Use these digits as first of range of global title digits in incoming message to convert to point code for routing.
insert-pc: Defines the rule for inserting destination point code before the incoming GTAI and change TT, ES and NAI. Use digits of incoming message global title digits as pc for routing.
selins: Selective insertion type to perform GTT.
strip-pc: Strip first 6 digits from GTAI if first 6 dgts in stripped point code are in INT format.
var-asc: Use a varaible number of digits, in ascending order, to perform GTT.
var-des: Use a variable number of digits. in descending order. to perform GTT.
start-digit value
value must be an integer from 0 to 255.
end-digit value
value must be an integer from 0 to 255.
Usage
Create a global title translation rule that bases the translation on a fixed range of digits starting at 23 and ending at 122.
Example
action id 1 type fixed start-digit 23 end-digit 122
 
description
This command defines a descriptive string to facilitate identification of this particular global title translation (GTT) association. This is used for operator reference only.

no description
string
Specifies the alphanumeric string that is stored. must be from 1 through 127 alphanumeric characters. Strings with spaces must be enclosed in double-quotes. See the example below.
no
Removes the description string from the current global title translation association configuration.
Usage
Use this command to set a description for reference by operators.
Example
The following command sets the description to identify a routing domain for messages transmitted within a national boundary.
description “GTT database 2”

Usage

gt-format
This command creates an instance of a global title formatting that is applied to the database in the process of address translation. Once the command is completed, the system enters global title (GT) format database configuration mode. The commands for configuration can be found in the GT Format Configuration Mode chapter in this reference guide.

Syntax
gt-format format_num
format_num
1: Selects GT-format 1 options which include nature-of-address and odd/even. Once selected, the system enters GT-Format1 configuration mode.
2: Selects GT-format2 options which include translation-type. Once selected, the system enters GT-Format2 configuration mode.
3: Selects GT-format3 options which include encoding-scheme, numbering-plan, and translation-type. Once selected, the system enters GT-Format3 configuration mode.
4: Selects GT-format4 options which include encoding-scheme, nature-of-address, numbering-plan, and translation-type. Once selected, the system enters GT-Format4 configuration mode.
Usage
Selects GT format #2 for the database GTT process.
Example
gt-format 2
 
variant
