The Getting Started section of the Help provides an overview of the application, including a product overview, the system architecture, and functions. Additionally, this section describes common GUI features, including user interface elements, main menu options, supported browsers, and common user interface widgets.
Diameter
The Diameter section of the Help describes GUI pages nested under the Diameter menu. In this section you can find information about how to perform tasks that allow you to manage the configuration and maintenance of Diameter components, including Local and Peer Nodes, Connections, Peer Routing Rules, Application Routing Rules, System and DNS Options, Topology Hiding, and Troubleshooting with IDIH Traces and Options.
Diameter Common
The Diameter Common section of the Help explains how to use the Diameter Common GUI pages to configure components used by more than one application, including the Dashboard (Metric Groups, Metric Threshold Configuration Sets, Dashboard network Elements, Dashboard Networks), Network Identifiers (MCC Ranges, MCCMNC, and MCCMNC Mapping) , and MPs (Profiles and Profile Assignments). The Help also describes the use of the Bulk Import and Export functions for exporting Diameter, IPFE, MAP-Diameter Interworking, and application configuration data on demand and at scheduled intervals; and for importing configuration data from exported files.
Communication Agent
The Communication Agent (ComAgent) section of the Help describes GUI pages for Communication Agent configuration and maintenance. This section contains information about configuring Remote Servers, Connection Groups, and Routed Servers; and information about maintaining configured Connections.
IP Front End (IPFE)
The IPFE section of the Help describes GUI pages for the IP Front End application. This section contains information about how to configure IPFE to distribute IPv4 and IPv6 connections from multiple clients to multiple Diameter Agent Message Processors (DA-MPs).
Transport Manager
The Transport Manager section of the Help 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.
Diameter Mediation
The Diameter Mediation section of the Help describes GUI pages for Diameter Mediation on how to configure and test Rule Templates, how to use the Formatting Value Wizard, and how to configure Rule Sets.
MAP-Diameter Interworking Function (M-D IWF)
The MAP-Diameter IWF section of the Help describes the configuration and operation of the MAP-to-Diameter Interworking Function (MD-IWF) SS7 Application and Diameter-to-MAP Interworking Function (DM-IWF) applications. The applications translate Diameter Request messages to MAP messages and MAP Request messages to Diameter messages.
SS7/Sigtran
The SS7/Sigtran section of the Help 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.
Policy and Charging Application (PCA)
The Policy and Charging Application section of the Help describes the GUI pages on the NOAM and the SOAM for Policy DRA (P-DRA) functionality and Online Charging DRA (OC-DRA) functionality, as well as the Session Binding Repository. This section includes information about configuring General Options, SBR Databases, Access Point Names, SBR Database Resizing Plans, SBR Data Migration Plans, PCRFs, Binding Key Priority, PCRF Pooling and Sub-Pooling, Policy Clients, Suspect Binding Removal Rules, Site Options, Network-Wide Options, OCSs, CTFs, OCS Sessions States, Realms, Error Codes, Alarm Settings, and Congestion Options; viewing maintenance data for the Session Binding Repository (SBR), SBR Database, and SBR Database Reconfiguration; and using the Policy Database Query tool.
The Policy and Charging Application (PCA) supports both Policy DRA (P-DRA) functionality and Online Charging DRA (OC-DRA) functionality. PCA was called P-DRA before the inclusion of OC-DRA functionality
Range-Based Address Resolution (RBAR)
The Range-Based Address Resolution section of the Help describes GUI pages for the Range-Based Address Resolution (RBAR) application. This section contains information about how to perform tasks that allow you 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)
The Full-Address Based Resolution section of the Help describes GUI pages for the Full-Address Based Resolution (FABR) application. This section contains information about how to perform tasks that allow you to resolve the designated Diameter server (IMS, HSS, LTE HSS, PCRF, OCS, OFCE, and AAA) addresses based on Diameter Application ID, Command Code, Routing Entity Type, and Routing Entity addresses.
Session Binding Repository (SBR)
The Session Binding Repository Help section of the Help describes GUI pages for the Session Binding Repository (SBR) application. This section contains information about how to perform tasks that allow you to configure, edit system options, and elements for SBR-related elements. Additionally, on the NOAMP, you can to perform maintenance tasks, edit options, and view elements for SBR-related maintenance elements.
Integrated Diameter Intelligence Hub (IDIH)
The IDIH section of the Help describes the configuration and use of the Integrated Diameter Intelligence Hub (IDIH). Detailed information about selected Diameter transactions can be captured and transmitted to IDIH for further analysis and to troubleshoot issues while processing traffic within the routing appilcation.
Gateway Location Application (GLA)
The Gateway Location Application section of the Help describes GUI pages on the SOAM for the Gateway Location Application (GLA)application. This section includes information about GLA configuration for Exceptions in decoding of Request messages, System Options, and Alarm Settings.
DSR Administration
The Administration section describes architecture, functions, configuration, and tools and utilities (IPsec, bulk import and export of configuration data, IDIH, and database backups); and provides references to other publications for more detailed information.
Alarms and KPIs
This section provides the details for alarms, events, and KPIs and includes actions you can take to resolve an alarm or event.
Measurements
This section provides the details for measurements and includes actions you can take to resolve an unusual Diameter measurement value.
Platform Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM)
The Platform OAM section of the Help describes the Operation, Administration, and Maintenance, and the GUI pages nested under the Administration, Configuration, Alarms & Events, Security Log, Status & Manage, and Measurements menu options. OAM Help explains how to use these GUI pages to view and manage the basic operation, administration, and maintenance for the application.
RADIUS
The RADIUS section of the Help describes the RADIUS feature and the GUI pages nested under the corresponding menu options. RADIUS Help explains how to use these GUI pages to view and manage the basic operation, administration, and maintenance for the application.
Machine to Machine Interface (MMI)
Machine to Machine Interface API describes the Machine to Machine Interface (MMI) for DSR. The DSR MMI is a RESTful (Representational State Transfer) interface providing access to a broad range of Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) services that clients use to configure and manage the DSR. Resources supported include the Administration, Topology, Monitoring, and Diameter. This document is the comprehensive API reference guide to the RESTful services the DSR makes available to clients through the DSR MMI. To access the MMI API documentation through a direct URL access, without login, go to http://<IP address of NOAM or SOAM>/raml/mmi.html. Or the MMI API documentation can be accessed directly from the DSR GUI by clicking on the new MMI API Guide menu item. API documentation can also be accessed by going to the latest DSR release on OHC at https://docs.oracle.com/en/industries/communications/diameter-signaling-router/index.html, downloading the MMI API Specification ZIP file, and accessing the html/mmi.html inside the ZIP file.
