IMG 1010 - Generic Number Translation
Overview:
The IMG supports translating Incoming and Outgoing translations for the purpose of routing calls. Currently the IMG supports matching either the ‘Dialed’ or ‘Originating’ Number and translating it into one of the following parameters: Dialed #, Originating #, Billing #, Info Digits, or Carrier #. Feature F-1624 ‘Generic Number Translation’ adds the SS7 call message ‘Generic Number Parameter’ into multiple aspects of the Incoming/Outgoing Translation Table Object. Below describes which functionality was updated with the ‘Generic Number Translation’ Parameter.
...
Right Click on Routing Configuration and select New Incoming Translation Tables. A Incoming Translation Tables object will appear. This object is a placeholder for multiple Incoming Translation Tables. No configuration is completed in this object.
Right Click on Incoming Translation Tables and select New Translation Table. Enter a name for this translation table. In this example it is labeled Inc_TT1.
Right Click on the translation table object just created and select New Translation Entry. In the object that appears select Generic Number from drop down menu in the ‘String to Match’ field and enter a string to match. To translate the Generic Number enter a value in the ‘Generic Number Translation Field. See screen capture below See Incoming Translation Entry topic for more information on configuring the Incoming Translation Table Entry.
Advanced Generic Number Translation:
...
Create a Translation Entry by following procedure above except leave the String to Match as either Dialed Number or Originating Number and select Generic Number from the Re-Run Option field. See screen capture below.
Create a second Translation Entry with the String to match set to ‘Generic Number’. With the rerun option configured in the first Translation Entry set to Generic Number, the IMG will find this entry. Once the entry is found the IMG will do whatever the second Translation Entry instructs it to do. In this example, the second entry will match the Generic Number of 555& and translate it to 999&. See screen capture below displaying the second translation entry.
Once the Translation Table and its entries have been created, they can now be inserted into an ISDN Channel Group. Open the ISDN Channel Group created earlier in this document and select the Translation table just created from the Incoming Translation table fields drop down menu. See screen capture below.
Above is a very basic example of using the Re-Route Option with the Generic Number Translation Parameter. There are many other ways to use this functionality. This procedure is created to explain the basics on how the Re-Route Option can be utilized with the Generic Number Parameter.
