1 Introduction

This document describes the procedure executed to activate the Diameter Custom Applications (DCA) feature (or beyond) Network Element (NE).

This procedure may be executed in either of the following scenarios:

  • As part of a new DSR installation, after the standard installation is complete but before the NE is in service.
  • On an DSR NE in-service, where the DCA feature is activated during a planned maintenance window to minimize the impact on network traffic.

This document also provides a procedure to de-activate the DCA framework and applications after it has been activated. Refer to the Feature De-Activation section for the de-activation procedures.

No additional software installation is required prior to executing this procedure. The standard DSR installation procedure has loaded all of the required software, even if the DCA feature is activated at a later time.
