User Interface Organization

The user interface is the central point of user interaction within an application. It is a Web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that enables remote user access over the network to an application and its functions.

The core framework presents a common set of Main Menu options that serve various applications. The common Main Menu options are:

• Administration
• Configuration
• Alarms and Events
• Security Log
• Status and Manage
• Measurements
• Help
• Legal Notices
• Logout

Applications build upon this framework to present features and functions. Depending on your application, some or all of the following Main Menu options may appear on the Network Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (NOAM) GUI:

• Communication Agent
• Diameter Common
• Diameter
• UDR (User Data Repository)
• SBR (Session Binding Repository)
• Policy and Charging
• DCA (Diameter Custom Application) Framework

The DSR System OAM GUI may present even more Main Menu options as listed below. The end result is a flexible menu structure that changes according to the application needs and features activated.

• Transport Manager
• SS7/Sigtran
• RBAR (Range Based Address Resolution)
• FABR (Full Address Based Resolution)
• SBR
• Mediation
• Policy and Charging
• DCA Framework
• IPFE (IP Front End)

Note that the System OAM (SOAM) Main Menu options differ from the Network OAM (NOAM) options. Some Main Menu options are configurable from the NOAM server and view-only from the SOAM (SOAM) server. This remains true for other applications.

Machine to Machine Interface

The 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. 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.

One of the applications you can access through the MMI is virtual Signaling Transport (vSTP) application. The vSTP application uses signaling experience from both the Oracle Communication EAGLE STP and the vDSR products to build a common signaling platform for unified signaling solutions. The application is installed on virtual machines.

Another application you can access through the MMI is the Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF) application, which interacts with, and implements controls on, Internet of Things (IoT) devices. SCEF uses the Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper (OCSG) for configuration and provisioning.
