SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING AND PROVISIONING NETWORK ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH NUMBER PORTABILITY

摘要

The invention provides exemplary systems and methods for provisioning network elements such as SCP (18), STP (21) and SSP when providing local number portability services. In one exemplary method, local number portability subscription information which includes both ported global title translation data and location routing number data is entered into a single network element management system NEMS (19). Selective network elements which are in communication with the network element management system are provisioned with the ported global translation data and the local routing number data based on logical network definitions stored in the network element management system.
