Centralized configuration

Subscriber provisioning data is provisioned at the active server of the Primary NOAM cluster and replicated to all servers on the network. System configuration and subscriber data is provisioned at the active server of the Primary NOAM cluster, replicated to all other NOAMs, and then replicated to the active SOAM of each Network Element (NE).

PDBI

The main method of subscriber data provisioning is PDBI (Provisioning Database Interface). PDBI allows one or several independent information systems supplied and maintained by the network operator to be used for provisioning databases and for configuring systems. Through the PDBI, independent information systems may add, delete, change or retrieve information about any IMSI, DN, or Network Entity association.

GUI Provisioning

Local provisioning can be done using the HLR Router GUI. The GUI can be used to manage PDBI setup, to make direct changes to the subscriber database entries, and to perform application operations, management, and provisioning.

Table 1 shows the GUI options available when logged into an NOAM.
