18 Configuring IM-SSF WIN Phase 1

The following sections describe how to configure IM-SSF using the Service Broker Administration Console and Java MBeans.

Configuring IM-SSF WIN Phase 1 with the Administration Console

This section describes how to configure the IM-SSF WIN phase 1 by using the Service Broker Administration Console.

To access the IM-SSF WIN phase 1 configuration screen:

In the domain navigation pane, expand OCSB.
Expand Processing Tier.
Expand Interworking Modules.

A list of currently deployed Interworking Modules is displayed.
From the module list, select the module instance that you want to configure.

The IM-SSF WIN phase 1 configuration pane contains the subtabs described in Table 18-1.

Configuring General Parameters

The General subtab displays the protocol variant that is used to encode / decode SS7 messages and enables you to specify an alias for an Interworking Module instance.

Table 18-2 describes the configuration parameter on the General subtab.

Table 18-2 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 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-SSF handles calls.

Configuring Subscriber Data Parameters

The Subscriber Data subtab enables you to define IN triggers that IM-SSF invokes towards the SCP above.

The table on the Subscriber Data subtab displays the rules for invoking triggers. Each row represents one rule. When defining a new rule, you need to specify the fields described in Table 18-4.

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

Table 18-6 describes configuration parameters on the TCAP subtab.
