Number Validation Table

Each Number Validation Table object is a child of the Number Validation Tables object.

This object defines the attributes of a routing request that should be matched against the Number Validation Entries within the table, and specifies how the closest match should be decided. This table also defines a default next action and an Attribute Set that should be applied unless the matched entry specifies otherwise.


Note that when the parent Config Set is active, this object cannot be modified; all fields are read only and all actions are disabled. You must deactivate the parent Config Set before you can modify the object.


Parameter

Description
Number Validation Table index Create Unique numerical index identifying the Number Validation Table. This field is optional; if you do not supply a value, the EMS assigns one.
Number Validation Table name Change Unique user-friendly name identifying the Number Validation Table. Specify a name of up to 64 characters. If a name is not specified, the EMS displays a default.
Search type Change Type of match to use on Number Validation Entry objects that are children of this object. Values:
  • Complete match (default)
  • Unique match
  • Prefix match
Address match type Change Specifies whether this table is used to process routing requests based on the destination address or source address.
  • For a call originating on the switch, the source address is the calling party's number, or (if the call has been forwarded by call forwarding on this NE) the number of the last party that forwarded the call.
  • For a call received over a trunk or from an application server, the source address is the calling party address as signaled by the peer equipment.
In almost all cases you will use destination address matching. Source matching should be used only in consultation with MetaSwitch support personnel. Values:
  • Destination (default)
  • Source
Match Attribute 1 Change Attribute of the routing request to match against Number Validation Entries in this Number Validation Table. Values:
  • None (default)
  • ANI II Digits (North America only)

  • Line Class Code 1 - Line Class Code 20
    Each of the 20 Line Class Code options appears in this list only if you have configured a Line Class Code object with the corresponding numeric index value. It appears as LCC n - description (showing the index value in the range 1-20 and the configured description, if any).
  • Operator call
  • Originating Signaling Gateway
  • Subscriber Group
  • Transit Network ID (North America only)
  • UK Call Type
  • US Call Type
  • User Defined Attribute 1 - User Defined Attribute 20
    Each of the 20 User Defined Attribute options appears in this list only if you have configured a User Defined Attribute object with the corresponding numeric index value. It appears as UDA n - description (showing the index value in the range 1-20 and the configured description, if any).
  • User Defined MF call type (North America only)
  • Subscriber NV and routing attributes
Match Attribute 2 Change Second attribute of the routing request to match against Number Validation Entries in this Number Validation Table. Refer to the description of Match Attribute 1 for a full list of possible values. The default is None.
Match Attribute 3 Change Third attribute of the routing request to match against Number Validation Entries in this Number Validation Table. Refer to the description of Match Attribute 1 for a full list of possible values. The default is None.
Default Routing Attribute Set Change Default Attribute Set to associate with this table. This value is used if the Routing Attribute Set field in the matched Number Validation Entry object is set to Default. Select from the displayed list of currently enabled Attribute Sets in the same Config Set as this Number Validation Table, or select None if no attributes are to be applied. As a short-cut to select the Attribute Set, you can type match details into the field and click on the search button to select from a list of items that match these details. Match details can be a text string, a wildcard string such as B*, a range such as CA-FL, an index value such as =3, or an index range such as =1-20. For more details, refer to the description of the Details panel in Operations Manual: Overview.
Default next action Change Default next action to be associated with this table. This value is used if the Next action field in the matched Number Validation Entry object is set to Use default. Values:
  • Complete validation (default)
    Complete number validation processing.
  • Look up
    After applying the number actions and updating any attributes, look up the number in another validation table (specified in the following field.)
  • Reject and announce
    Stop number validation processing and play the appropriate error announcement.
  • Store carrier ID and restart
    Store the supplied Carrier ID and restart number validation.
  • Store carrier ID and look up
    Store the supplied Carrier ID. Then, after applying the number actions and updating any attributes, look up the number in another validation table (specified in the following field.)
  • Handle as SAC
    Mark as a call to a service access code and finish routing.
  • Fail ANI screening (North America only)
    Reject the call with an announcement that the carrier code is not valid.
Default next Number Validation Table Change This field appears only if Default next action is set to Look up or Store carrier ID and look up. Select the next Number Validation Table to process. As a short-cut to select the Number Validation Table, you can type match details into the field and click on the search button to select from a list of items that match these details. Match details can be a text string, a wildcard string such as B*, a range such as CA-FL, an index value such as =3, or an index range such as =1-20. For more details, refer to the description of the Details panel in Operations Manual: Overview.
Export - number of objects exported Read only The total number of objects (including child objects) written to the export file so far in the current or most recent export operation.
Export - status Read only The status of the current or most recent export operation, if any. Values:
  • None
    No export has been attempted. Use the export pushbutton to start it.
  • In progress
    Export is in progress. Do not attempt to access the export file until the status has changed to Succeeded.
  • Succeeded
    Export completed successfully.
  • Failed
    Export failed. Check the Export - log correlator field for more details.
  • Partially failed
    A field in the configuration of the exported object or one of its child objects was not valid. Typically this is because a referenced object has been deleted. Either check and correct the configuration before retrying the export, or correct the error in the exported file before attempting to re-import it.
Export - file Change The name of the text file (in the EMS User's home directory on the EMS Server) to which configuration information for this object will be exported. The maximum length of the filename is 32 characters.
Export - log correlator Read only If the export status is Failed, this field contains a correlator for the log message that contains details of the failure. Click on the 'go to log' button next to this field to jump to this message in the EMS log viewer window.
Export - correlator metaswitch Read only If the export status is Failed, this field contains the name of the EMS Server or MetaSwitch Network Element that generated the failure log. You may need this information to find the log in the EMS log viewer window.
Requested status Read only Specifies whether an administrator has attempted to enable the Number Validation Table. Values:
  • Enabled
    The object has been enabled.
  • Disabled
    The object has not been enabled or has been disabled.
Actual status Read only Specifies the current status of the Number Validation Table. Values:
  • Enabled
    The object has been enabled.
