Configuring General Parameters

The General subtab enables you to set the CAP phase 4 variant appropriate for your network and to specify an alias for an Interworking Module instance.

Table 8-2 describes the configuration parameter on the General subtab.

Table 8-2 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 CAP phase 4 variant used over the SS7 interface. It informs the IM which plug-in (class) to use to encode and decode SS7 messages.

There are two CAP phase 4 variants:

  • cap4.rel6_5_0.AutoGeneratedOssCap4Plugin

  • cap4.rel7_5_0.AutoGeneratedOssCap4Plugin

You can manually type the version appropriate to your network requirements in the Plugin text field.

Charging Services

You can configure IM-SCF to monitor session duration and charge sessions. IM-SCF provides the following capabilities:

  • Credit reservation requests generation

    IM-SCF sends these requests to IM-OCF through the OE. IM-OCF translates credit reservation requests to Diameter CCRs, which are then forwarded to a billing application.

  • Session monitoring and charging

    You can specify whether a session is monitored by IM-SCF or by an MSC. In the former case, IM-SCF generates an ApplyCharging message based on the Granted-Service-Unit AVP of the CCA received from a billing application. IM-SCF sends this ApplyCharging message to an MSC. Then the MSC applies charging. If the session is monitored by IM-SCF, IM-SCF applies charging on its own.

  • Quota reauthorization

    You can specify whether IM-SCF reauthorizes a quota upon receiving various triggers from an MSC.

To set up IM-SCF charging services, you use the Charging Services tab. This tab contains the subtabs described in Table 8-10.

Table 8-10 Charging Services Subtabs

Table 8-14 describes configuration parameters on the TCAP subtab.

Table 8-14 TCAP Parameter

Name Type Description

Class4 Default Timeout in Seconds

INT

Specifies the time period in seconds that the IM waits for possible REJECT. The timer starts when sending INVOKE for class 4 operations.

Default value: 5 seconds.

Reject Timeout in Seconds

INT

Specifies the time period in seconds that the IM waits for possible REJECT. The timer starts when sending INVOKE for class 1-3 operations.

Activate Invoke Alarm in Application Layer

BOOL

When the TCAP layer receives an INVOKE, it triggers back PABORT if there is no response. The waiting time period for response is configured in the encoding library.

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

INT

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.


Configuring Monitoring Parameters

The Monitoring tab enables you to define how Runtime MBeans and notifications operate for an IM-SCF. For more information about configuring monitoring, see "Configuring Monitoring with the Administration Console".

Configuring IM-SCF CAP Phase 4 with the Java MBeans
