This chapter describes how to set up an IM-SSF CAP Phase 1 interworking module.
The process of IM-SSF CAP Phase 1 setup requires the following:
Adding an IM-SSF CAP Phase 1 to your Oracle Communications Service Broker deployment. You can add as many modules of type IM-SSF CAP Phase 1 as you need. See "Adding an IM-SSF CAP Phase 1 to the Service Broker Deployment" for more information.
Configuring the IM-SSF CAP Phase 1. See "Configuring an IM-SSF CAP Phase 1" for more information.
To add an IM-SSF CAP phase 1:
In the domain navigation pane, expand the OCSB node.
Expand the Processing Tier node.
Expand the Interworking Modules node.
Select IM Management.
On the bottom of the IM Management pane, click New.
In the New window, fill out the fields as follows:
In the Type list, select IMSSFCAP1.
In the Version list, select the required version.
In the Name field, enter a name for this module as it should appear in the list of modules. In this field, you can only use lower case letters (a-z), upper case letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and underscores (_). If you attempt to use a character which is not allowed, Service Broker displays the error message and prompts you to enter a different name.
Click OK.
In the notification window that reminds you to commit the changes, click OK.
To add the new IM-SSF CAP phase 1 to your deployment, in the Change Center pane, click Commit.
A new module of type IM-SSF CAP phase 1 is now added to your Service Broker deployment. The new module is displayed in the domain navigation pane under the Interworking Modules node.
To configure an IM-SSF CAP Phase 1:
In the Change Center, click Lock & Edit.
In the domain navigation pane, under the Interworking Modules node, select the newly added M-SSF CAP Phase 1.
The IM-SSF CAP phase 1 configuration pane contains the subtabs described in Table 10-1.

Plugin |
STRING |
Specifies the protocol variant used over the SS7 interface. It informs the IM which plug-in (class) to use to enclode and decode SS7 messages. |
The Call Handling subtab enables you to define how IM-SSF handles calls.
Table 10-3 describes configuration parameters on the Call Handling subtab.
