The Diameter Signaling Router (DSR) documentation set includes the following publications, which provide information for the configuration and use of DSR and related Applications.
Some documents, such as Release Notes, are available only through the Oracle Technical Network (OTN).
The current releases of all documents are available through the Oracle Technical Network.
Release Notice describes new features in the release; lists the known and fixed bugs, and the software lineup; and explains how to find customer documentation on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).
Roadmap to Hardware Documentation provides links to access manufacturer online documentation for hardware related to the DSR.
Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Guide provides information on system-level configuration and administration tasks for the advanced functions of the DSR, both for initial setup and maintenance.
SS7/Sigtran User's Guide describes explains how to use the SS7/Sigtran GUI pages to perform configuration and maintenance tasks related to Adjacent Servers, SS7 Signaling Points, Link Sets, Associations, Routes, and SS7 Sigtran Options, for the Signaling Network Interface (SRI) used by the MD-IWF SS7 Application. The Signaling Network Interface provides standard SCCP functions, traditional MTP3 routing capabilities, and a standard M3UA interface to the external network.
Transport Manager User's Guide explains how to use the Transport Manager GUI pages to configure "Transports" (SCTP Associations with remote hosts over an underlying IP network). Transport Manager provides the interface to the Adapter Layer and manages the connections and data transmission from SCTP sockets.
Communication Agent User's Guide explains how to use the Communication Agent GUI pages to configure Remote Servers, Connection Groups, and Routed Servers, and to maintain configured connections.
Diameter Common User's Guide explains how to use the Diameter Common GUI pages to configure components that are common to more than one DSR Application, including Network Identifiers (MCC Ranges and MCCMNC), MPs (Profiles and Profile Assignments). The Guide also describes the use of the Bulk Import and Export functions for exporting Diameter, IPFE, and DSR Application configuration data on demand and at scheduled intervals, and for importing configuration data from exported files.
Diameter User's Guide explains how to use the Diameter GUI pages to manage the configuration and maintenance of Diameter Configuration components, including Local and Peer Nodes, Peer Node Groups, Connections, Configuration Sets, Peer Routing Rules, Application Route Tables, System Options, DNS options, AVP dictionary functions; introduces IDIH and Diameter Mediation; addresses Topology Hiding; describes the functions of Diameter Message Copy; and describes DSR capacity and congestion controls.
Diameter Mediation User's Guide describes the functions of Diameter Mediation, and explains how to use the Diameter Mediation GUI pages (nested inside the Diameter GUI folder) to configure and test Rule Templates, how to use the Formatting Value Wizard, and how to configure Rule Sets.
IP Front End (IPFE) User's Guide explains how to the use the IPFE GUI pages to configure IPFE to distribute IPv4 and IPv6 connections from multiple clients to multiple nodes.
Range-Based Address Resolution (RBAR) User's Guide explains how to use the RBAR GUI pages to configure RBAR to route Diameter end-to-end transactions based on Diameter Application ID, Command Code, Routing Entity Type, and Routing Entity address ranges and individual addresses.
Full-Address Based Resolution (FABR) User's Guide explains how to use the FABR GUI pages to configure FABR to resolve designated Diameter server addresses based on Diameter Application ID, Command Code, Routing Entity Type, and Routing Entity addresses.
MAP-Diameter IIWF User's Guide describes the configuration and operation of the MAP-to-Diameter Interworking Function (MD-IWF) and Diameter-to-MAP Interworking Function (DM-IWF) DSR Applications.
Charging Proxy Application (CPA) and Offline Charging Solution User's Guide describes the Offline Charging Solution and explains how to use the CPA GUI pages to set System Options for CPA, configure the CPA's Message Copy capability, and configure the Session Binding Repository for CPA.
Policy and Charging Application User's Guide describes the configuration and maintenance functions of the Policy and Charging Application (PCA), including Policy Diameter Routing Agent (Policy DRA) and Online Charging DRA (OCDRA) DSR Application and the Policy Session Binding Repository, and explains how to use the GUI pages to configure PCA.
Gateway Location Application (GLA) User's Guide describes the functions of retrieving subscriber data stored in Policy Session Binding Repository (pSBR) provided by Policy DRA and explains how to use the GUI pages to configure GLA.
DSR Alarms, KPIs, and Measurements Reference provides detailed descriptions of alarms, events, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and measurements; indicates actions to take to resolve an alarm, event, or unusual Diameter measurement value; and explains how to generate reports containing current alarm, event, KPI, and measurement information.
DSR Administration Guide describes DSR architecture, functions, configuration, and tools and utilities (IPsec, Import/Export, IDIH, and database backups); and provides references to other publications for more detailed information.
IDIH User's Guide describes the configuration and use of Integrated Diameter Information Hub (IDIH).
