Special Number Handling

Overview

Rules for handling special destination numbers may be defined for the DSG-SCP. These rules exist within the config block, e.g.:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<n2svcd>
  ...
  <applications>
    ...
    <application name="<application name>" module="DsgScpApp">
      ...
      <config>
        ...
        <special_numbers>
          <!-- Special number handling rules for the DSG-SCP -->
        </special_numbers>
      </config>
    </application>
    ...
  </application>
  ...
</n2svcd>

Special destinations are checked prior to all other processing to ensure that they are handled as quickly and safely as possible.

Configuration Details

Within each block, special number handling rules may be configured within the special_numbers block:

Special number handling takes place after normalisation has occurred.

Each rule Object in the config.special_numbers array has the following structure:
