SS7 CIC Group Querying

Overview

This host initiated feature enables the customer to determine what CIC groups are configured in order to perform detailed queries, for each CIC group, without any prior knowledge of the existing configuration. The feature supports the SS7 CIC Query (0x0067) message in order to display CIC group information:

SS7 CIC Query (0x0067) Message

This host initiated API message, with the following parameters, will be used to query all of the CIC groups for a stack.

• SS7 Stack (0x08) AIB with SS7 Stack ID

• Destination Point Code (DPC) (0xFFFFFFFF) is used to query all CIC groups for the stack. The resultant CIC group information can be used to query a particular CIC group.

From the host perspective, the AIB in the response message is used to differentiate between the following queries:

• For existing CIC group queries: to query information on a particular CIC group, use the SS7 CIC AIB (0x14).

• For CIC group queries: to query information on all of the configured CIC groups, use SS7 Stack AIB (0x08).
