1. Overview

Module for updating ISUP encapsulated in SIP (SIP-T/SIP-I)

The sipt module can be used to update various ss7 headers contained inside a message.

2. Dependencies

The module depends on the following modules (in other words the listed modules must be loaded before this module):

  • none

3. Functions

3.1. sipt_destination(destination, hops, nai[, terminator=1])

updates the IAM in the body if it exists, setting the called party number to destination with the nature address specified in nai and decrementing the hop counter value if present. If the hop counter header is missing it will be added with the value of hops. If terminator is set to 1, then F will be appended to digit string to indicate the number is complete (default).

Example 1.1. sipt_destination(destination, hops, nai) usage

...
# update the destination number to our current request uri,
# setting nature of address to international
$rU = "19495551234";
sipt_destination($rU, 31, 4);
...

3.2. sipt_set_bci_1(charge_indicator, called_status, called_category, e2e_indicator)

updates the first byte of the backward call indicator in the ACM or COT in the body if setting the Charge Indicator to charge_indicator, the Called party's status indicator in called_status, the Called party's category indicator in called_category and the End to End Method Indicator with the value of the value of e2e_indicator.

Example 1.2. sipt_destination(destination, hops, nai) usage

...
# set bci for charging, subscriber free, ordinary, no e2e available
sipt_set_bci_1("2", "1", "1", "0");
...

3.3. sipt_set_calling(origin, nai, presentation, screening)

updates the IAM in the body if it exists, setting (or adding) the calling party number to origin with the nature address specified in nai and setting the presentation and screening values to presentation and screening.

Example 1.3. sipt_set_calling(origin, nai, presentation, screening) usage

...
# update the calling party to the value in the from header
sipt_set_calling($fU, 4, 0, 3);
...

3.4. sipt_forwarding(origin, nai)

updates the IAM in the body if it exists, setting (or adding) the forwarding number to origin with the nature address specified in nai.

Example 1.4. sipt_set_calling(origin, nai) usage

...
# update the forwarding number to the value in the from header
sipt_forwarding($avp(s:forwarding_number), 3);
...

3.5. sipt_has_isup_body()

The function returns true if the SIP message has an ISUP body attached.

Example 1.5. sipt_has_isup_body() usage

...
if(sipt_has_isup_body())
{
    # do interesting stuff here
}
...
