ISUP PROT VIOL Output on the IMG 1010 CLI Terminal

Symptom
ISUP PROT VIOL is output on the Dialogic® IMG 1010 Integrated Media Gateway (IMG 1010) CLI Terminal
 
22:27:22.534 SS7 (F) ISUP PROT VIOL (000003d8/0037-0037/0) comp:0x12 err:4 mi d:0x01 pid:0x0a

Reason for the issue

The output above gives the following information about the ISUP protocol violation:

DPC: 0x000003d8
CIC (From): 0x0037
CIC Range (To): 0x0037
SS7 Stack id: 0
Comp : 0x12 (SS7 PPL Component id 0x12 - ISUP CPC)
err : 4 (Error Type 4 - Maximum Parameter Length Violation)
mid : 0x01 (ISUP message id 1 - IAM)
pid : 0x0a (ISUP parameter id 0x0a - Calling Party Number)

The pre-1997 ITU ISUP specification defines the maximum parameter length of the Calling Party Number parameter as 12 bytes.

The post-1997 ITU ISUP specification changed the maximum length to 'unlimited' (Table 32/Q.763, ITU-T Recommendation Q.763 (1997), Signaling System No. 7 – ISDN User Part formats and codes).

Parameter  Reference

NOTE 2 – Peer-to-peer interworking with an earlier version of ISUP may result in format errors and lead to the release of the call.


Fix / Solution
Select 'ITU 97' as the ISUP variant when configuring the IMG 1010 SS7 Stack.
