Prerequisite features

Classify Call Scenario Feature

The Validate InitialDP feature performs validation checks to ensure that the InitialDP has sufficient parameters to be handled correctly by Sentinel.

If the InitialDP is not valid, then the Valdiate InitialDP feature returns either continueAndClose or releaseAndClose to the Sentinel core. The choices of response and release cause are configurable. In the absence of configuration data, the default behaviour is releaseCallAndClose(Call-Rejected).

The validation performed includes:

  • check that InitialDP is present in session state

  • check that InitialDP is CAP

  • check that CallingPartyNumber is present in the InitialDP

  • if session type is mobile originating, check for presence of CalledPartyBCDNumber

  • if session type is mobile terminating or mobile forwarded, check for presence of CalledPartyNumber.
