Creating SS7 Point Codes

Applies to version(s): v2.9.

Point codes are used to define the adjacent and target networks so that calls are properly routed from one network to the next.

To create SS7 originating point codes (OPC) and destination point codes (DPC):

1- Click Point Codes in the navigation panel

2- Click Create New Point Code

3- Configure the new point code:

• Enter a name for the point code
• Select a point code type (select type-specific parameters)
• Select a point code length (14, 16, 24 bits)
• Enter a point code. Either as bits, decimal, or hexadecimal.
• Click Create

In this example, an originating point code (OPC) is created.

4. Verify that the "PointCode was successfully created" message appears, and the new point code appears in the Point Codes list
