L3P CIC PPL Configuration Bytes (ANSI)

See Important ISUP PPL Information for an explanation of config byte mapping for L3P CIC.

You can modify the parameters for Config Bytes 1-7, but you cannot move them to other byte locations. Other functions in the system access these parameters.

A pointer to optional parameters must be included in all ISUP messages that can contain an optional parameter.By default, the CSP adds this pointer. When connecting to network devices that are using the Pre-1995 format of the GRS / GRA messages, the presence of the pointer can cause problems.
