Understand type and plan in Translation rules

[mahmoodmkl]

Hi,

Please can someone explain me the type and plan terms in reference to translation rules.

Thanks

Isdn providers use type and plan to identify of call is local, national, international, etc. however at time you want to change that as it would only apply under perfect conditions. As an example inernational calls often fail with calling party plan/type defined so you change it to unknown/unknown via the TP.

Hi Chirs,

Thanks for your reply,but still i m confused.

So you mean  that type and plan are only used when you have ISDN connections.what about if i m using E1.?.

I want to know what type and plan means.

Hope i am clear in putting the question.

Thanks

Hi.

E1 stiil uses ISDN standard and what Chris (+5 "C") mentioned also applyes to it

If you look at a debug isdn q931 output, you will see info like this:

Jan 21 08:23:56.048: ISDN Se0/0/0:15 Q931: RX <- SETUP pd = 8  callref = 0x002B

Sending Complete

Bearer Capability i = 0x8090A3

Standard = CCITT

Transfer Capability = Speech

Transfer Mode = Circuit

Transfer Rate = 64 kbit/s

Channel ID i = 0xA9838B

Exclusive, Channel 11

Calling Party Number i = 0x0181, 'XXXXXXXX'

Plan:ISDN, Type:Unknown

Called Party Number i = 0xA1, 'XXXXXXXX'

Plan:ISDN, Type:National

High Layer Compat i = 0x9181

In this case, as highlited,  numbering plan is ISDN and Type is National for Called party number and ISDN and Unknown for calling party

With a translation rule you can modify these valuse according to your needs both for calling and called party

HTH
