IMG 1010 - Configure a Channel to Release with Cause
- Kelli Higdon
Overview:
This procedure will provide the steps to change the default cause code mapping for a specific cause code. Note that in the channel group the user sets the incoming and outgoing treatment method to “Release w/Cause”, which is also the default. Per the interworking specifications the IMG will interwork the cause code received on one channel to the other channel if no “Cause Code mapping table” has been linked to the channel group. If a cause code table is used then only the cause codes defined in the table will be modified. All other cause codes will map per the interworking specification.
Procedure:
To configure a channel to release with Cause, perform the following steps:
Configure Cause Code Table
Add Cause Code Table Entry
Assign Cause Code Table to Channel Group
