SCCP can now be configured to operate with 16 bit Point Codes as used in

Japan. This mode of operation is selected by setting bit 15 of the

‘ext_options’ parameter in the SCCP Module Configuration message

(SCP_MSG_CONFIG ) or setting bit 31 in the <options> field of the

SCCP_CONFIG command in config.txt. When using 16 bit point codes, users

should ensure that compatible options are selected for the MTP3 or M3UA

layers.

M3UA can now be configured to operate with 16 bit point codes for use in

Japan. This option is selected by setting the SS7MD parameter to ITU16.
