The Translation Element Pane differs depending on whether the entry being created is associated with an incoming or outgoing translation table. The incoming translation element supports both translation and error detection whereas the translation element on the outgoing leg of a channel group supports only translations. The translation element information below is for translations on the outgoing leg. For information on translations on the incoming leg of a channel group, refer to the Translation Element - Incoming topic.

Once the translation table and its elements have been created and configured the translation table will be selectable in either the incoming or outgoing translation table field within the Channel Group object. The next few topics below explain digit translation on the IMG 2020. It is highly recommended that they be read before proceeding on to configuring a Translation Entry

Field Descriptions

ID

The ID field is automatically populated with the next available ID and cannot be modified. This ID is used internally to identify this translation table entry.

...

The Translation Profile field is a drop down menu displaying all the Translation Profiles created under the Profiles object. The Translation Profiles in the pull down menu allow the user to add different Translation Profiles to the Translation Element object that is being created. Information such as Advanced Dialed Number Parameters, Advance Originating Number Parameters, and a host of other parameters having to do with the translation of parameters from one protocol to the other are added through this field.

...

The digit string mask entered in the String field is compared to the Dialed, Originating, or Generic Number sent to the outgoing leg of the channel group. If the string entered in the String field matches either the Dialed, Originating, or Generic Number then the number will be translated to the value which is entered in the Dialed # Translation, Originating # Translation, or the Generic Number Translation fields described below. The Digit String Mask supports the use of wild–cards within the string. Below is short explanation on how to use wild–cards in the String field. For more information on using wild–cards in the String field refer to the Wildcards for Translation topic.

Digits and wild-cards can be used in the string field. The values entered in this field are processed as strings not numbers. Enter values accordingly.

...

When the String To Match and String fields above match on a Dialed, Generic, or Originating Number the string entered into the Dialed Number Translation field will either translate an existing Dialed Number or add a Dialed Number to the outgoing ISUP IAM message. If this field is left empty, the translation would result in a null string. Refer to the Advanced Dialed Number Parameter topic for more information on translating specific parameters such as Nature Of Address, Numbering Plan Indicator, or INN Indicator within the Generic Number.

...

When the String To Match and String fields above match on a Dialed, Generic, or Originating Number the string entered into the Generic Number Translation field will either translate an existing Generic Number or add a Generic Number to the outgoing ISUP IAM message. Refer to the Advanced Generic Number Translation topic for more information on translating specific parameters such as Number Qualifier Indicator, Nature Of Address, Numbering Plan Indicator, Number Incomplete Indicator, Screening Indicator, or Presentation Indicator within the Generic Number.

...

When the String To Match and String fields above match on a Dialed, Generic, or Originating Number the string entered into the Billing Number Translation field will either translate an existing Billing/Charge Number or add a Billing/Charge Number to the outgoing ISUP IAM message. Refer to the IMG 1010 - Advanced Billing Number Translation topic for more information on translating specific parameters such as Nature of Address, Numbering Plan, or International Number Indicator.

Info

The WildCard symbol $ can be used to append Dialed Numbers, Originating Numbers, or Generic Numbers. Refer to the Wildcards for Translation topic.

Carrier Number Translation

When the String To Match and String fields above match on a Dialed, Generic, or Originating Number the string entered into the Carrier Translation field will be inserted into the Transient Network Selection (TNS) parameter in the outgoing SS7 IAM message. The digits entered into the Carrier Number Translation field replaces the incoming Carrier Number digits. Refer to the IMG 1010 - Advanced Carrier Number Translation topic for more information on replacing specific parameters such as Network Identification, Network Plan Identification, or Circuit Code. 

...

Generic Number - After the initial Dialed Number translation, look through all entries under the translation table for one that is translating the Generic Number. Once this translation entry is identified, execute the translation.

See Advanced Generic Number Translation link for an example on how the Re-run option is configured.
