Multiple Originating Point Code
The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI supports Multiple Originating Point Code definitions, which allow link sets to have a different adjacent point code definition than the main STP point code. This flexibility allows for ease of installation into networks in which the Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI is replacing previously installed STP systems, and in cases where network signaling is being consolidated to a smaller set of STP systems to provide economic savings in operations and maintenance.
This functionality allows introduction or consolidation of new STP systems into the network without impact to subtending and interconnected network elements. Rather than
having to change destination point codes and adjacent node point codes, subtending and interconnected elements retain their routing definitions, while the new system is introduced into the network via facility switchovers.
OSS Interfaces
The Alcatel 5070 SSG ANSI provides interfaces to Telcordia operations support systems (OSSs) for SS7 routing provisioning, LNP provisioning, data collection and monitoring. The system includes functionality based on
