Configuring Realms

Realms are used to partition the captured data for presenting a separate view to each Mediation Engine Connector user. This is especially useful in cases where different resellers share the same Mediation Engine Connector instance, each being allowed to view only the SIP users served by themselves.

In the Mediation Engine Connector, a realm is defined by a pattern containing a set of telephone numbers, a set of domains, or both. Realms defined only by a range of telephone numbers should be used when the resellers share the same domain, but have different SIP users. Realms defined only by domain should be used when the Mediation Engine Connector is analyzing the traffic from multiple domains. A combination of both cases defines a pattern with a domain and a telephone number range.

To add a pattern that defines a realm, click the Add pattern button. A new row appears at the top of the table. The pattern is editable by double clicking on the row.

Name: The name of the realm that defines a reseller.

First Number: The lower limit of the telephone numbers range.

Last Number: The higher limit of the telephone numbers range.

Domain: The domain name. The field is optional as the realm might be identified only by number range.

Comment: An optional comment line, only for convenience.

To delete a selected pattern, click Delete selection. You can import and export realm configuration to and from CSV files, which helps in maintaining the realm configuration when many patterns have been defined.

You may also provision realm patterns automatically by uploading a similar CSV file via FTP.
