Mapping NPI/TON to SIP Phone-Context
The Phone Contexts table lets you configure up to 20 rules for mapping the Numbering Plan Indication (NPI) and Type of Number (TON) to the SIP 'phone-context' parameter, and vice versa. The 'phone-context' parameter appears in the standard SIP headers where a phone number is used (i.e., Request-URI, To, From, and Diversion). When a call is received from the Tel side, the device searches the table for a matching rule (i.e., same NPI and TON values). If a matching rule is found, the device uses the rule's corresponding 'phone-context' value in the outgoing SIP INVITE message. The same mapping occurs when an INVITE with a 'phone-context' parameter is received.
For example, for a Tel-to-IP call with NPI/TON set as E164 National (values 1/2), the device can send the following SIP INVITE URI:
sip:12365432;phone-context= na.e.164.nt.com
For an IP-to-Tel call, if the incoming INVITE contains this 'phone-context' (e.g. "phone-context= na.e.164.nt.com"), the NPI/TON of the called number in the outgoing Setup message is changed to E164 National.
The following procedure describes how to configure NPI/TON-SIP phone-context mapping rules through the Web interface. You can also configure it through ini file [PhoneContext] or CLI (configure voip > gateway manipulation phone-context-table).

➢
|
To configure NPI/TON-SIP phone-context mapping rules: |
|
1.
|
Open the Phone Contexts table (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > Gateway folder > Manipulation > Phone Contexts). |
|
2.
|
Click New; the following dialog box appears: |
|
3.
|
Configure a mapping rule according to the parameters described in the table below. |
|
●
|
You can configure multiple rows with the same NPI/TON or same SIP 'phone-context'. In such a configuration, a Tel-to-IP call uses the first matching rule in the table. |
|
●
|
To add the incoming SIP 'phone-context' parameter as a prefix to the outgoing called and calling numbers, select the 'Add Phone Context As Prefix' check box þ [AddPhoneContextAsPrefix]. |
