IMG 1010 - Presentation Number Interworking - BT
Feature F-5626 Support for Presentation Number adds the Presentation Number into the IAM message. The value of the Presentation Number is derived from the Generic Number in one of the following SIP headers:
Remote Party ID (RPID)
P-Asserted Identity
Routing Number
For the feature to function correctly, a new variant (British Telecom), which is automatically loaded into the Variant folder (/opt/dialogic/common/config/Variant) during installation, needs to be imported to the signaling variants object within ClientView. When configured correctly, this feature adds the following three parameters to the IAM message.
Parameter Name | ID | Default Data |
Parameter Compatibility | 57 (0x39) | 0xFE 0xC0 0xC0 0xC0 |
National FCI (Forward Call Indicators) | 254 (0xFE) | 0x01 0x00 |
Display | 253 (0xFD) | Included when Generic Number is present and has the same value as the Generic Number. |
Below is Configuration information describing how to configure the IMG to utilize the new Variant.
Call Flow
Configuration:
Below are instructions on how to configure the IMG to interwork SIP INFO message into an ITX message and interwork the ITX message into a SIP INFO message. Verify the following entities are configured before proceeding:
Configure British Telecom Variant
The British Telecom Variant comes prepackaged in the GCEMS server. The table below displays the files and location of files.
Directory Path | Files |
/opt/dialogic/common/config/Variant/BritishTelecom | BT_IAMmct.cfg |
/opt/dialogic/common/config/Imports | BritishTelecom.xml |
These are the files needed to support the BritishTelecom Variant. To configure this variant onto the IMG, the files must be imported to IMG. This is done through the ClientView application. Follow the next few steps to configure/import these files to the IMG.
