Prerequisite features

Classify Call Scenario Feature

The Short Code feature is a pre-credit check feature that performs number translation of short-codes in the request-URI of the received INVITE request. If the request-URI does include a short-code, then SipShortCode updates the request-URI and To addresses in the received INVITE, using a short-code translation table.

Note

The SipShortCode feature will only do analysis if:

  • the request-URI is a tel URL

  • the request-URI is a SIP URI, where the user part of the URI is a digit string.

Addresses may contain the digits allowed in a global phone number as per RFC 2806.

Sentinel has a configurable short-code address list, scoped by the Sentinel selection key, which is used for this digit analysis. If a short-code matches an address in the request-URI, then both the request-URI and the To address are updated with a translated address (that corresponds to the short-code).

Note

The SipShortCode feature will not do any analysis if the CallType is EmergencyCall or MobileTerminating.

Subsequent features may make additional changes to the request URI, so the final address sent in the INVITE will be dependent on those features.

Short Code address list configuration

The SipShortCode address list entry is an extension of the standard Address list entry, the addition being the ‘translatedAddress’ field which is used for number translation:

Parameter Type Description

…​

…​

…​

TranslatedAddress

String

the value of the short code translated address (in international format)

Example configuration:

Address TranslatedAddress

100

6422987654

200

6422123456

The SipShortCode address is a digit string which can contain any digits valid for the network.

TranslatedAddress is a digit string in international format.

The short code list applies to all subscribers scoped to Sentinel selection key.

Configuration profile naming

Configuration Profile Table Name Description Profile Naming

ShortCodeFeatureConfigProfileTable

Short code feature configuration

SentinelSelectionKey (for example, OpenCloud::::)

${PLATFORMOPERATOR}_SipShortCode_AddressListConfigurationTable

Address list configuration

${SELECTIONKEY}:SipShortCode:SipShortCodeAddressList

${PLATFORMOPERATOR}_SipShortCode_AddressListEntryTable

Feature specific Address List entry table

${SELECTIONKEY}:SipShortCode:SipShortCodeAddressList:${ADDRESS}

Note The SipShortCode feature address list configuration uses the same profile tables as the SS7 version of the feature. The names of the address lists are, however, particular to the SipShortCode feature.

Provisioning interfaces

The feature is provisioned using the Sentinel Features REST API or web interface.
