The Accounting and Screening table records may be configured to use wild cards and ranges to facilitate provisioning of accounting and screening data. Wild cards and ranges are used for

  • Point Code

  • Message Type

  • subsystem number (SSN)

  • Translation Type (TT)

  • Service Indicator (SI)

  • Priority Bits (PRI)

  • H1H0

  • TCAP Operation Code

The range delimiter is set to “&&”. An SSN range could be set to “3&&5” which includes SSN values 3, 4, and 5 inclusively.

The wild card delimiter “*” is a full-range wild card such that for SSN, replaces range 0&&255.

The Point Codes are value ranges separated with “.”. The point code range “1.3&&5.*” impacts all Point Codes with network component 1, cluster component between 3 and 5 inclusive, with any member component (corresponding zone, cluster, member for ITU).

In addition to the preceding wild cards and ranges, for the Incoming Linkset screening table the following also applies:

  • default record * for Japan FF-FF and ITU Decimal (others *.*.*)

  • when performing a PC search on an Incoming LS, wildcard search (for example, 1.2.*) is supported

  • No labels
