Configure SCCP Routing Policy

Perform this task to configure policy rules for routing outgoing Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP) messages based on fields from the called or calling party address.

About this task

Messages are routed based on the destination (called party) point code or global title digits by default. Configure policy rules for SCCP routing only to route based on called or calling party address fields.

Perform this task on any server.

Procedure

  1. Go to the ${MTX_CUSTOM_DIR} directory:

  3. Change the answer to the question "Network Enabler:How many routing policy rules do you want?" to 1 or more.
