Pause updating applies to all rows on the screen. If you add a new PCRF Pool at the NOAMP, a new row automatically appears on the SOAM PCRF Pool to PRT Mapping page the next time an update occurs.
- Click Edit. The PCRF Pool To PRT Mapping [Edit] page is displayed.
The Peer Route Table Name pulldown menu initially displays the Peer Route Table from the row being edited and contains all configured Peer Route Tables and Not Selected. Not Selected provides backwards compatibility for users who had the Site Options Peer Route Table Name set to Not Selected. When Not Selected is chosen, PCA does not instruct DRL to use an application specified PRT, but enables DRL use its normal PRT precedence for PRT selection instead. If Edit is clicked and the PCRF Pool Name of the selected row has been deleted, an error is displayed and this row is no longer displayed. If Edit is clicked and the PCRF Pool Name of the selected row still exists (has not been retired), the PCRF Pool To PRT Mapping [Edit] page is displayed with data populated from the selected row.
