Introduction
This document explains how to determine the circuit identification code (CIC) and destination point code (DPC) on a signaling controller that correlate to the digital service zero (DS0) channel on a network access server (NAS). The document also explains the reverse process: how to determine the DS0 channel and controller interface on a NAS, given the CIC and DPC on the signaling controller.
Prerequisites
Requirements
There are no specific requirements for this document.

Correlating a DS0 Channel on a NAS to an SS7 CIC and DPC on the Signaling Controller
In this section, you are presented with information to map a specific DS0 on the NAS to a Signaling System 7 (SS7) CIC and DPC on the signaling controller.
Step-by-Step Instructions
In the example below, assume that you want to determine the CIC and DPC associated with DS0 channel 17 on controller T1 0. Follow these steps:
-
Determine the Signaling Controller 2200 (SC2200) that services this NAS.
Issue the Cisco IOS® command show rlm group 0 status, and obtain the IP address of the SC2200 for which the session is active. If you find a redundant pair of signaling controllers, you can obtain the CIC mapping information from either of them.
Some actual output from issuing this command is shown below. The IP address of the SC2200 is shown in boldface.

-
Determine the Non-Facility Associated Signaling (NFAS) interface (nfas_int) value on the controller by viewing the Cisco IOS Software configuration on the NAS.
In the output below, the NFAS interface value (0 ) is shown in boldface.
controller T1 0 framing esf clock source line primary linecode b8zs pri-group timeslots 1-24 nfas_d primary nfas_int 0 nfas_group 0
-
On the signaling controller, issue the Cisco PGW 2200 Man-Machine Language (MML) command prov-rtrv:nailedtrnk:"all" to retrieve the nailed trunk information.
Since, in this example, you are determining the CIC and DPC associated with DS0 channel 17 on controller T1 0, look for the SRCTIMESLOT (which is the CIC) and the destination service (DSTSVC) that matches DSTSPAN of 0 and TIMESLOT of 17.
Note: The DSTSPAN value is the same as the nfas_int value determined in Step 2, above.

-
Issue the MML command rtrv-dest:all to find the DPC associated with the destination service.
In the output below, the DPC name for this destination service (nas-tokyo, as determined in Step 3, above) is dest.
beavis mml> rtrv-dest:all vsc-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2000-11-03 10:52:00 M RTRV "dest:PKG=SS7-ANSI,ASSOC=nas-tokyo,PST=IS,SST=RSTO" "nas-tokyo:PKG=ISDNPRI,ASSOC=dest,PST=IS,SST=RSTO"
-
Issue the MML command rtrv-spc:all to determine the actual DPC and the associated origination point code (OPC).
beavis mml> rtrv-spc:all vsc-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2000-11-03 10:55:25 M RTRV "dest:DPC=001.001.001,DNW=2:OPC=002.002.002:IS"
-
Put the information together to determine the CIC and DPC.
In this example, DS0 channel 17 on controller T1 0 maps to SS7 CIC 117 (determined in Step 3, above) with the DPC equal to 1.1.1 (determined in Step 5, above) and OPC equal to 2.2.2 (also determined in Step 5) on the signaling controller with IP address 172.18.196.203 (determined in Step 1, above).
Correlating an SS7 CIC and DPC on the Signaling Controller to a DS0 Channel and Interface on a NAS
In this section, you are presented with information to correlate an SS7 CIC and DPC on the signaling controller to a specific DS0 on a NAS.
Step-by-Step Instructions
In the example below, assume that the CIC is 113 and the DPC is 1.1.1. Follow these steps:
-
Issue the MML command rtrv-spc:all to map the DPC to a name.
In this example, the name associated with the DPC (1.1.1) is dest, as shown in boldface below.
beavis mml> rtrv-spc:all vsc-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2000-11-03 13:03:09 M RTRV "dest:DPC=001.001.001,DNW=2:OPC=002.002.002:IS"
-
Issue the MML command rtrv-dest:all to map the DPC name to the associated NAS service.
In this example, the NAS service associated with the name dest is nas-tokyo, as shown in boldface below.
beavis mml> rtrv-dest:all vsc-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2000-11-03 13:06:03 M RTRV "dest:PKG=SS7-ANSI,ASSOC=nas-tokyo,PST=IS,SST=RSTO" "nas-tokyo:PKG=ISDNPRI,ASSOC=dest,PST=IS,SST=RSTO"
-
Issue the MML command prov-rtrv:all to find the parent for the NAS service (the IP link that services this NAS).
In the example below, the IP link that services the NAS (named nas-tokyo, as determined in Step 2, above) is lnk-tokyo.
beavis mml> prov-rtrv:all vsc-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2000-11-03 13:07:55 M RTRV "session=active:all" /* NAME Parent Name TID Description ---- ----------- --- ----------- "pri-en" "vsc-01" CARD "Primary ethernet card" "sec-en" "vsc-01" CARD "Secondary ethernet card" "hme0" "pri-en" ENETIF "Primary Ethernet" "hme1" "sec-en" ENETIF "Secondary Ethernet" "ls-magic" "dest" LNKSET "SS7 Linkset to magic" "lnk-tokyo" "nas-tokyo" IPLNK "NAS Service lnk to Tokyo" "rte-magic" "vsc-01" SS7ROUTE "SS7 Route to magic via Ls-magic" "opc" "vsc-01" PTCODE "Point code for Beavis" "dest" "vsc-01" PTCODE "magic point code" "nas-tokyo" "Tokyo" NASPATH "NAS service to Tokyo" "ss7-magic" "dest" SS7PATH "SS7 Service to magic" "Tokyo" "vsc-01" EXTNODE "Voice gateway" "warsawlnk" "Ls-magic" C7IPLNK "IP Link to warsaw"
-
Issue the MML command prov-rtrv:iplnk:name="ip link name from Step 3" to obtain the IP address of the NAS.
In the example below, the IP address is 172.18.196.224, as determined by the PEERADDR value.
beavis mml> prov-rtrv:iplnk:name="lnk-tokyo" vsc-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2000-11-03 13:11:01 M RTRV "session=active:iplnk" /* NAME = lnk-tokyo DESC = NAS Service lnk to Tokyo SVC = nas-tokyo IF = hme0 IPADDR = IP_Addr1 PORT = 3001 PEERADDR = 172.18.196.224 PEERPORT = 3001 PRI = 1 SIGSLOT = 0 SIGPORT = 0
-
Issue the MML command prov-rtrv:nailedtrnk:"all" to find the nfas_int value (which indicates the physical interface) and the actual timeslot (the DS0 channel on the NAS).
If the DSTSVC name (the NAS service name) is nas-tokyo (which was determined in Step 2, above) and the SRCTIMESLOT is 113 (the CIC), the DSTSPAN is 0 and the TIMESLOT is 13, as shown in boldface, below.
beavis mml> prov-rtrv:nailedtrnk:"all" vsc-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2000-11-03 10:24:21 M RTRV "session=active:nailedtrnk" /* NAME SRCSVC SRCSPAN SRCTIMESLOT DSTSVC DSTSPAN TIMES ---- ------ ------ ----------- ------ --------- ------- : : : : : : : : : : : : : : 7 ss7-magic ffff 107 nas-tokyo 0 7 8 ss7-magic ffff 108 nas-tokyo 0 8 9 ss7-magic ffff 109 nas-tokyo 0 9 10 ss7-magic ffff 110 nas-tokyo 0 10 11 ss7-magic ffff 111 nas-tokyo 0 11 12 ss7-magic ffff 112 nas-tokyo 0 12 13 ss7-magic ffff 113 nas-tokyo 0 13 14 ss7-magic ffff 114 nas-tokyo 0 14 15 ss7-magic ffff 115 nas-tokyo 0 15 16 ss7-magic ffff 116 nas-tokyo 0 16 17 ss7-magic ffff 117 nas-tokyo 0 17 18 ss7-magic ffff 118 nas_Tokyo 0 18 : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
-
View the Cisco IOS Software configuration on the NAS to determine the physical interface that terminates this DS0.
The interface is the one for which nfas_int is set to 0 (determined by DSTSPAN in Step 5), as seen in the following output:
controller T1 0 framing esf clock source line primary linecode b8zs pri-group timeslots 1-24 nfas_d primary nfas_int 0 nfas_group 0 description Bearer channels from Manila
In this example, the CIC is 113 and the DPC is 1.1.1 on the signaling controller, which maps to DS0 channel 13 (determined in Step 5) on controller T1 0 (determined in the output above) on the NAS with IP address 172.18.196.224 (determined in Step 4).
