Foreign MINs
1.2.3.7.1 Ported
Number to Ported Number
(Direct Trunk)
Test Description:
This will test that Cause Code
Value 26 will be sent back appropriately on a call from a ported number to a
ported number.
Test Procedure:
·
From a ported number
·
Call a ported number
·
Terminating LSP identifies own LRN, but does
not find ported number on switch

Document Test Results, including time
required for all transitional steps
Test Results:
·
Originating LSP routes call to destinations
LSP
·

One step, is for each company to layout
their internal topology. Concerns about
the proprietary nature of the network elements
One reason, can we really test? If we are not viewing these Tandems.
Concerns about the switch layout for
carriers
Need to sit down and review test cases with
test partner, figure what can be done out of the 96 test cases.

items
Wrap up/summary of new items
Bob Jones from US Cellular is adding the
following conversation from the Atlanta meeting:
I'd like to make the following
"minority opinion" a
matter of record.
do not undergo revision testing as
the NPAC moves from one software release
to another. When I asked about carriers who might not
have a "lab" system
with which to perform such testing,
Neustar's answer (echoed by Illuminet)
was that they'd disconnect that
carrier from its network.
Review next meeting dates
