Anytime you are connected to the SS7 network, you must have a point code for yourself. It is how you are addressed. Think of it as an IP address. It does not make a lot of sense for you not to have a pointcode, and you certainly can't do anything with the traffic (regardless if it is just going in one direction) without one.
