Translate SI and PI from SIP to SS7

The screening indicator, presentation indicator, or both can be passed through to the SS7 IAM Calling Party number unchanged or can be passed through with overridden values that are configured through the Advanced Originating Number Parameter object. The feature is supported only when SIP Privacy is enabled and a call is received by the IMG 2020 from the SIP network and is transmitted to the SS7 network. Because the feature modifies the behavior of the IMG 2020, a field has been added that can disable or enable the new functionality. The default setting in the Web GUI is Disable which forces the IMG 2020 to interwork the parameters as it did before the feature was introduced. Refer to the links below for more information regarding this feature.
