2 Overview of 14-Digit Signaling Point Code
In an SS7 network, each device is regarded as a signaling point (SP), and each SP has an identical
signaling point code (SPC). SPs communicate with each other through SPC. The SPC coding
modes vary from one country/area to another. Generally, three coding modes are available,
namely, 14-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit modes. Huawei BSC6900 supports all SPC modes.
The 14-digit signaling point code feature provides the following benefits:
l This feature conforms to the requirements of different signaling systems, thus facilitating
the use of networking in different countries and areas.
l The equipment transferred to areas using different coding modes can still be used.

3 Technical Description
In the signaling network, an SP communicates with other SPs through the SPC.
The 24-bit SPC is applied in China since 1990. It is also called uniform or one-layer coding
scheme. This scheme specifies that all the SPs of the SS7 signaling network in China use 24-bit
SPC. According to the actual situation, 24-bit SPC is classified into three signaling zones in
terms of the structure. That is, eight bits for codes of main signaling zone, eight bits for codes
of sub-signaling zone, and eight bits for signaling point codes.
The 14-bit SPC is widely used in the world. The code capacity of 14-bit SPC is 16,384 codes.
14-bit SPC is classified into three parts: macro area code, zone code, and signaling point code.
Figure 3-1 shows the coding principle of the 14-bit SPC.
Figure 3-1 The coding principle of the 14-bit SPC
NML: three bits, for identifying the macro area

K-D: eight bits, for identifying the zone area in the macro area or the regional network
CAB: three bits, for identifying geographic position or the SP in the regional network
To facilitate the management of the signaling network, the CCITT specifies in Rec. Q705 that
the international signaling network and other national signaling networks should be
independently deployed. Therefore, the SPCs are also independent. In Rec. Q708, the plan of
the international SPC is specified. In addition, the national SPCs can be determined by the
administrative department according to the actual situations of each country. Each country can
adopt 14-bit SPC or 24-bit SPC as required.
The value range of the SPC is as follows: 24-bit SPC: 0x1-0xFFFFF1; 14-bit SPC: 0x1-0x03FF1.
Huawei BSC6900 supports two SPC input modes: inputting the whole number or inputting

divided number. The SPC input mode is determined by the SPC parameter or the SPCDNF
parameter.
To enable 14-digit SPC, set the SPCBITS parameter to BIT14(BIT14).
