  • False - The media path opens only in the direction from the media resource to the caller

Default value: True


Note:

When an internal media resource is used (CTR), the Address Digits, Nature of Address and Address Numbering Plan Indicator parameters can be set to 'None' in order to instruct the network's session control entity to connect its pre-configured media resource.

Table 12-46 describes the configuration parameter on the General subtab.

Table 12-46 General Parameter

Name Type Description

Alias

STRING

Specifies the alias of the IM's SS7 address. The alias is an index to SS7 SSU configuration, where the IM's SS7 address is configured. The IM uses this alias to set the origination field of outgoing SS7 messages. This ensures that further session messages arrive to this IM instance.

Plugin

STRING

Specifies the protocol variant used over the SS7 interface. It informs the IM which plug-in (class) to use to encode / decode SS7 messages.


Configuring Call Handling Parameters

The Call Handling subtab enables you to define how IM-SCF handles calls.

UI Reset Timer Interval in Seconds

INT

Specifies the value, in seconds, of the WIN REST timer.

The timer is first triggered upon invocation of ConnectRersource operation. Whenever the timer expires, IM-SCF invokes the ResetTimer operation towards the MSC (reset SSFT) and triggers the timer again.

Default value: 20


Configuring Media Resources Parameters

The Media Resources subtab enables you to define the media resources that the SSP can connect in order to play announcements.

The table in the Media Resources subtab displays the media resources that are used to play announcements. Each row represents one media resource. When defining a new media resource, you need to specify the fields described in Table 12-48.

Address Digits

STRING

Specifies the digits part of the media resource address. The media resource address is used to set up a connection towards the media resource.

Note: when this parameter is not set, the network's session control entity uses a pre-configured media resource to play announcements. In this case, Nature of Address and Address Numbering Plan Indicator should be set to 'None'.

Operation Type

STRING

Possible values:

  • Switched_Based - the media resource is internal part of the SSP. CCDIR operation is used to connect the media resource.

  • External - the media resource not a part of the SSP. ConnectResource operation is used to connect the media resource.

  • IP

    IP and SCP are not co-located

  • None

SN Address

STRING

Specifies the value to set in the DestinationDigits parameter of the CONNRES operation. This value is regarded only when SN-IP Configuration parameter is set to SN.

The Activate Invoke Alarm in Application Layer parameter specifies whether or not to activate this timer.

Possible values:

  • True

  • False

Default value: False.

Application Part Guard Timer

Specifies the PSM timer, which is a timer for incoming operations.

The PSM timer defines the maximum time in seconds that the application (TC-User) has to respond to incoming INVOKE messages.

Result Split Length

INT

Specifies the maximum length of the TCAP RESULT message. When the actual length of the message exceeds the specified value, the message is split.

Table 12-51 describes the configuration parameter on the General subtab.

Table 12-51 General Parameter

Name Type Description

Alias

STRING

Specifies the alias of the IM's SS7 address. The alias is an index to SS7 SSU configuration, where the IM's SS7 address is configured. The IM uses this alias to set the origination field of outgoing SS7 messages. This ensures that further session messages arrive to this IM instance.

Plugin

STRING

Specifies the protocol variant used over the SS7 interface. It informs the IM which plug-in (class) to use to encode / decode SS7 messages.


Configuring Call Handling Parameters

The Call Handling subtab enables you to define how IM-SCF handles calls.

Table 12-52 describes configuration parameters on the Call Handling subtab.

Table 12-52 IM-SCF WIN Phase 2 Call Handling Parameters

Name Type Description

OE Reaction Interval in Seconds

INT

Specifies the time period in seconds during which the IM-SCF waits for the OE to respond to SAL messages.

When this timer expires, IM-SCF decides how to handle existing session (Continue or Release) according to the configuration settings.

Default value: 100

Body Encoding Format

STRING

Specifies the method that the IM-SCF uses to encode IN parameters in the body of a SAL message.

Possible options:

  • BER

  • XER

  • None

Default value: None

In an IN mediation solution, when IM-SCF is coupled with IM-SSF, this parameter must be set to XER.

UI Reset Timer Interval in Seconds

INT

Specifies the value, in seconds, of the WIN REST timer.

The timer is first triggered upon invocation of ConnectRersource operation. Whenever the timer expires, IM-SCF invokes the ResetTimer operation towards the MSC (reset SSFT) and triggers the timer again.

Default value: 20

CCDIR Interval in Seconds

INT

Specifies the interval in seconds between two invocations of CCDIR operations.

Default value: 1000

CCDIR Waiting Interval

INT

Specifies the interval in seconds that IM-SCF waits for CCDIR response.

Note: the value defined in CCDIR Waiting Interval must be less than the value of CCDIR Interval in Seconds.

Default value: 10

The Media Resources subtab enables you to define the media resources that the SSP can connect in order to play announcements.

The table in the Media Resources subtab displays the media resources that are used to play announcements. Each row represents one media resource. When defining a new media resource, you need to specify the fields described in Table 12-53.

Table 12-53 IM-SCF WIN Phase 2 Media Resource Definition Fields

Name Type Description

Name

STRING

Specifies a name of the media resource

Alias

STRING

Alias is used by IM-SCF to lookup a media resource details in this table.

Aliases are defined in a URI format. For example: mrf.network@domain.com.

Address Digits

STRING

Specifies the digits part of the media resource address. The media resource address is used to set up a connection towards the media resource.

Note: when this parameter is not set, the network's session control entity uses a pre-configured media resource to play announcements. In this case, Nature of Address and Address Numbering Plan Indicator should be set to None.

Operation Type

STRING

Possible values:

  • switch_based

    The media resource is internal part of the SSP. CCDIR operation is used to connect the media resource.

  • external

    The media resource not a part of the SSP. ConnectResource operation is used to connect the media resource.

Default value: switch_based

Resource Type

STRING

Specifies the value to set in the SpecializedResource parameter of the SEIZERES operation.

Possible values:

  • UNUSED

  • DTMF_TONE_DETECTOR
