Configuring Telco Spans
119
IMPORTANT
Reliable Policy processing and enforcement does not occur
until after the correct Dialing Plans are defined and installed on the Span.
Each Span uses a Local Numbering Plan (LNP) specific to the Appliance
locale and a World Numbering Plan (WNP) specific to the country where
the Appliance is located.
Spans have default Local and World Dialing Plans installed that enable the
ETM System to process calls. However, various call classification sections
should be customized for the specific Appliance locale to ensure proper call
classification (for example, local vs. long distance).
AAA Services and SS7 Signaling Links do not require a Dialing Plan.
See "About Dialing Plans" in the
ETM
®
System Technical Reference
for a
detailed explanation of the components of each Dialing Plan file and
instructions for modifying each section.
To define a Dialing Plan
1.
Open the default .LNP file or .WNP file appropriate for your country in
a text editor, such as Notepad. Default Dialing Plan files are located
under the Management Server installation directory, in the following
subdirectory:
<INSTALL_DIR>\ps\software_repository\ini\
Define the appropriate sections according to your Appliance locale. See
"About Dialing Plans" in the
ETM
®
System Technical Reference
,
available from the
SecureLogix
directory on the
Start
menu
(Windows systems) or the ETM System installation directory (all
systems), for a detailed explanation of the components of each Dialing
Plan file and instructions for modifying each section.
2.
Save the file under any identifiable name in the same directory, with an
.LNP file or .WNP extension. This extension must be capitalized.
IMPORTANT
The updated Dialing Plan is not used for call processing
until it is installed on the Span.
3.
Install the Dialing Plan on the Span(s). See "Installing Dialing Plans on
a Span" on page 119 for instructions.
Each Span uses both an LNP and a WNP file.
