Service Selector Configuration

You must configure between 1 and 20 service selectors for each additional voice charging service or SMS charging service. If you are using the Temporary Service Access Number (TSAN) reorigination service for CAP1 calls, you can also configure between 1 and 20 TSAN service selectors.

A service selector defines the criteria for determining which service to select for the incoming message based on:
  • Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP) Global Title (GT) prefix from the calling SCCP address.
  • SCCP Point Code (PC) from the calling SCCP address.
  • SCCP subsystem number from the called SCCP address.
  • TCAP application context.
  • IDP or IDPSMS Service Key.
  • Event Type Detection Point (EDP) or eventTypeSMS.

Selector Priority

CCF matches selectors to the incoming message in the following order: Global Title Prefix, Point Code Prefix, Called SSN, Application Context, Event Type, Service Key. Selector values are prioritized as follows:
  1. The Global Title Prefix is matched in the following order:
    • Specific value or not present
    • Present
    • Any or not present
  2. The Point Code Prefix is matched in the following order:
    • Specific value or not present
    • Present
    • Any or not present
  3. The called SSN is matched in the following order:
    • Specific value
    • Any
  4. The Application Context is matched in the following order:
    • Specific value
    • Any
  5. The Event Type is matched in the following order:
    • Specific value
    • Any
  6. The Service Key is matched in the following order:
    • Specific value
    • Any

If more than one selector matches the incoming message, the selector with the longest global title prefix is selected.

any_or_not_present
SCCP Point Code The originating SCCP PC from the IDP or IDPSMS of the TCAP BEGIN message. When set, enables a service to be selected based on the PC of the MSC. Valid values are:
  • any_or_not_present
  • not_present
  • present
  • A string of digits

create_config.info question: Selector 1:What is the calling SCCP point code for this selector?

 any_or_not_present
SCCP Subsystem Number
SCCP subsystem number (SSN) that this selector uses. Valid values are:
  • any
  • An integer between 2 and 254
The default value is 146.
Note: The SSN for CS1 voice services is 241.

create_config.info question: Selector 1:What is the SCCP Subsystem number for this selector?

 146
TCAP Application Context
Sets the TCAP application context that is used to trigger the service. Valid values for Voice services or the TSAN reorigination service are:
  • any
  • cap2
  • cap3
  • User defined
Valid values for SMS services are:
  • any
  • cap3sms
  • cap4sms
  • User defined

create_config.info question: Selector 1:What is the TCAP Application Context for this selector?

Note: To specify an user defined TCAP application context, use full dot notation; for example, enter 0.4.0.1.1.1.0.0 to specify the application context for a CS1 voice service.
any
Service Key
The IDP Service Key or the IDPSMS Service Key to use for this selector depending on whether this is a voice service, the TSAN reorigination service or an SMS service. Valid values are:
  • any
  • An integer > 0

For voice services or the TSAN reorigination service, answer the following create_config.info question: Selector 1:What is the IDP Service Key for this selector?

For SMS services, answer the following create_config.info question: Selector 1:What is the IDPSMS Service Key for this selector?

 any
IDP Event Detection Point Trigger (Voice or TSAN services only) Sets the triggering IDP event type for this selector. Valid values are:
  • 1 — origAttemptAuthorized
