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 9-8.

Table 9-8 IM-SCF INAP CS-1 Media Resource Definition Fields

Name	Type	Description
Name	STRING	Specifies a name of the media resource
Alias	STRING	Specifies a unique identifier that applications use to instruct Service Broker which media resource to connect in order to play announcements. 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'.
Nature of Address	STRING	Specifies the NatureOfAddress part of the media resource address. The media resource address is used to set up a connection towards the media resource. Possible values: SUBSCRIBER_NUMBER UNKNOWN NATIONAL INTERNATIONAL NETWORK_SPECIFIC Default value: SUBSCRIBER_NUMBER
Address Numbering Plan Indicator	STRING	Specifies the NumberingPlanInd part of the media resource address. The media resource address is used to set up a connection towards the media resource. Possible values: ISDN DATA TELEX Default value: ISDN
Operation Type	STRING	Possible values: internal: The media resource is internal part of the SSP. ConnectToResource (CTR) operation is used to connect the media resource. external: The media resource not a part of the SSP. EstablishTemporaryConnection (ETC) is used to connect the media resource. Default value: internal
Service Interaction Indicators	STRING	Specifies the ServiceInteractionIndicators parameter in the ConnectToResource operation. Provide the value of the Service Interaction Indicators parameter as a hex string. For example, a two octet long string is represented as 03A5. If you leave this parameter empty or set it to "none", IM-SCF does not add ServiceInteractionIndicators to ConnectToResource.

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.

Configuring TCAP Parameters

The TCAP subtab enables you to set up parameters of the IM TCAP layer.

Table 9-9 describes configuration parameters on the TCAP subtab.

Table 9-9 TCAP Parameter
