SCCP Entity Set

The SCCP Entity Set object is a child of the SCCP object.

The SCCP Entity Set object represents an address or a pair of load-sharing addresses to which a message should be routed. The entity set can point either to subsystems (as the final destination of the message) or to remote SCCP access points, which will themselves route the message to the final destination. Entity sets cannot route to local SCCP access points.

Description
Entity Set name Change This is the name of the Entity Set family. A set request is rejected if the name is already used by another instance of the same class
Entity Set type Change The type of Entity Set used. Values:
  • Relay Node
    The two outcome records refer to remote SP records, the two SCCP access point records are not used, and VP3500 sets the routing indicator to Route on GT after GTT. In this case, the user may also configure the SSN value, to be passed in the message to the relay node as an input into the GTT there.
  • End Node without SSN
    The two outcome records refer to remote SP records, the two remote SCCP access point records are not used, and VP3500 sets the routing indicator to Route on SSN after GTT. The SSN to which the message should be routed should be in the message which came down from TCAP.
  • End Node with SSN
    The two outcome records refer to remote SP records, the two remote SCCP access point records refer to remote SCCP access point records, and VP3500 sets the routing indicator to Route on SSN after GTT. The SSN to which the message should be routed is taken from the access point record which the entity set refers to.
Sharing mode Change The sharing mode of the entity set identifies how the selection between two SAPs is specified. Values:
  • Single
    In this case there is only one SAP identified.
  • Load-sharing
    In this case VP3500 must pick evenly between the two (but taking into account the needs of in-service delivery and congestion weighting).
  • Dominant
    In this case VP3500 always sends messages to the first one if it is active.
First outcome Change Pointer to the first outcome of the entity set. See description of Entity set type for valid settings. This field should be the same as Point Code in Remote SCCP Signaling Destination.
Second outcome Change Pointer to the second outcome of the entity set. See description of Entity set type for valid settings. This field is required unless Sharing mode is set to Single. This field should be the same as Point Code in Remote SCCP Signaling Destination.
SSN Change The SSN is the subsystem number of an SCCP access point. This field is required only if Entity Set Type is set to Relay node. Range: 2 - 255.
First remote SCCP access point Change Pointer to the first remote SCCP access point referred to by the entity set. This is used only if Entity set type is set to "end node with SSN". The field First outcome must point to the owning remote SP. This field should be the same as SSN ID in Remote SCCP Access Point.
Second remote SCCP access point Change Pointer to the second remote SCCP access point referred to by the entity set. This pointer is used only if Entity set type is set to "end node with SSN". The field Second outcome must point to the owning remote SP. This field is required unless Sharing mode is set to Single. This field should be the same as SSN ID in Remote SCCP Access Point.
References count Read only This field tracks the count of translators that refer to this record. If one or more translators refer to this record, it cannot be deleted.
Diagnostics - log level Change Specifies the level of logs recorded for this object. Logs with a priority equal to or greater than the priority specified are recorded. Set to Default level to use the system-wide default level. Values:
  • Level 10 (diagnostics)
  • Level 20 (verbose statistics)
  • Level 30 (verbose operational)
  • Level 40 (statistics)
  • Level 50 (audit)
  • Level 60 (operational)
  • Level 70 (unexpected)
  • Level 80 (error)
  • Level 90 (fatal)
  • Default level (default)
Diagnostics - API trace enabled Change Specifies whether API tracing is enabled for this object. If set to True, the Diagnostics - trace tag must be specified. Values:
  • True
  • False (default)
Diagnostics - trace tag Change The diagnostics tag inserted into API tracing and PD logging for this object. This tag may include any ASCII characters other than whitespace.
Requested status Read only Specifies whether an administrator has attempted to activate the SCCP Entity Set. Values:
  • Active
    The object has been activated.
  • Inactive
    The object has not been activated or has been deactivated.
  • Disabled
    The object has been disabled.
Actual status Read only Specifies the current status of the Call Agent. Values:
  • Active
    The object is active.
  • Going Active
    Activation is in progress.
  • Going Inactive
    Deactivation is in progress.
  • Inactive
    The object is inactive.
  • Disabled
    The object has been disabled.
  • Activation Failed
    The object is inactive because an activation attempt has failed.
  • Failed
    The object was active but has failed.
  • Quiescing
    The object is preparing for normal deactivation. It is operating normally but will not accept any new users.
  • Waiting For Parent
    The object cannot be used because its parent object is not yet active.
  • Parent Failed
    The object cannot be used because its parent object has failed.
