Sub-fields in BT-IUP Specific Data Fields
Sub-Field | Description |
---|
Sub-Field 1 | Protocol Variant (always BT-IUP). |
Sub-Field 2 | The Presentation Number Nature of Address (3 decimal characters). The Presentation Number is the number displayed on a Called person's phone when actual Calling Line Identification may be misleading or confusing to the user, or calling person may wish the call returned to a different number. Valid Nature of Address values: - 0-2 – Reserved
- 3 – National (Significant) Number
- 4 – International Number
- 5-127 – Reserved
|
Sub-Field 3 | The Presentation Number Address Restriction Indicator (1 decimal character). Indicates if the Presentation Number can be shown to the end user. Valid values: - 1 – Presentation Allowed
- 2 – Presentation Restricted
- 3-4 – Reserved

Sub-Field 4 | The Presentation Number Screening Indicator (1 decimal character). Indicates the screening performed on the Presentation Number. Valid values: - 1 – User Provided not Verified
- 2 – User Provided Verified and Passed
- 3 – Reserved
- 4 – Network Provided
|
Sub-Field 5 | The Presentation Number Digits (variable length string of up to 30 characters). This is a globally unique identifier used within the U.K. network. |
Sub-Field 6 | The Partial Calling Line Identification Digits (fixed length string of 18 decimal characters). The Partial Calling Line Identification is generated when the actual Calling Line Identification is not available or can not be obtained. Each switch within the Network is assigned a unique Partial Calling Line Identification, which is obtained from the Official Telecommunication body (OFTEL). For example, a Partial Calling Line Identification of 123456789045450000 is interpreted as: - 12 – Type of Switch
- 345 – PNO Identify
- 678 – Switch Number
- Remaining Digits – Bilaterally Agreed Digits (with trailing zeroes inserted to fill the subfield)
|
Sub-Field 7 | The Release Reason (3 decimal characters, 0-255). The IUP specific Release Reason used to terminate the Call. The value is encoded per the PNO 6 specification, Section 2.4.24, Release Reason. |
Sub-Field 8 | Malicious Call Trace (variable length string of up to 3 characters). Valid values are: - "" – No trace on this call.
- "MCT" – A Malicious Call Trace (MCT) is being performed on this call. This will help tracing the call through the network.
|
Sub-Field 9 | Service Information (3 decimal character enumeration or empty) This field contains service related information associated with the call. This field was initially added to carry the DPNSS Ring Back When Free service information. This field is populated from the content of the BT IUP NEED message. Valid values for this field are: - empty – An ordinary call with no service information.
- 1 – CPC_SVC_INFO_DPNSS_REAL (a real call established for ring back when free).
- 2 – CPC_SVC_INFO_DPNSS_VIRTUAL (a virtual call established for ringback when free)
|
This BT-IUP variant is delimited by the delimiter "". The sub-fields are separated by a comma (,). An empty field is represented by either two consecutive commas (,,) or by comma-space-comma (, ,). For example:
"BT-IUP,3,1,2,01793602000,012542673230000000,47,MCT,1"
The maximum total field length of the BT-IUP variant is 66 characters, as analyzed below:
- 2 – Leading and Trailing Double Quotes
- 56 – Total of the 9 data sub-fields (6 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 18 + 18 + 3 + 3 + 3)
- 8 – Commas between sub-fields
