No changes. The billing system currently collects data for test-type calls.
• Operator Interface
Added—CLI command to set a global 108 test call timer in minutes (range of values is 0 through

Example: change ca-config type=test-call-tmr; datatype=integer; value=10;
Added—CLI command to add/change/delete 108 test call capability for each connected gateway

8XX Enhancement with NOA Processing
Effective with Release 3.3 V04, the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch supports network-specific Nature of
Address (NOA) processing for outbound 8XX toll-free calls. To implement this feature, the service
provider provisions the NOA token in the dial plan table.
The system processes outbound 8XX calls as follows:
• The CA signals the AIN FS to perform an 8XX query.
• The AIN FS performs an internal database query.
– If an internal record is found for the 8XX number, the AIN FS provides the routing information
to the CA and the call is attempted.
If the AIN FS query finds a record for a network-specific 8XX call in the internal database, the
Database Query Type1 is set to 2 (TOLL_FREE_LOCAL) in the resulting call detail record (CDR).
– If no internal record is found for the 8XX number, the next action depends on how the NOA
token is provisioned in the dial plan table:
• If the NOA token is provisioned as NATIONAL, the AIN FS performs an external service
control point (SCP) query.
If a route is found, the CA completes the call. Otherwise the call is released.
• If the NOA token is provisioned as network-specific, the call is released.
The release cause is “No Route to Destination.”
The valid values for the NOA parameter in the dial-plan table for a toll-free call are as follows:
• NATIONAL National (significant) number
• NS0 through NS6 Network-specific (as provisioned)
Provisioning Examples
Add dial-plan id=dp1; digit-string=888; noa=NATIONAL; dest-id=dest888nat;
Add dial-plan id=dp1; digit-string=888; noa=NS0; dest-id=dest888ns0;
