10 Post-Installation Procedures

This chapter provides the operating procedures for the Advanced Control Services (ACS) application.

These procedures are normally performed once, after the installation and configuration of the system.

Using Announcements

When ACS is installed, the announcements required by the ACS Management control plan are inserted into the database. These announcements have been assigned a Virtual Announcement ID, but do not have an actual Resource Name and ID assigned to them.

To use the ACS Management control plan, the system administrator must arrange to have the required announcements recorded on the IP that is to be used, and then enter into the system the language that the announcement was recorded in and the resource name and ID of the location of each announcement.

Each Announcement may be recorded in several languages, it is important that the Virtual Announcement ID is the same for each recording of the announcement, and the system entries differ only by the language, resource name and resource ID.

Note:

These announcement mappings are not installed automatically because in most cases, the required values are customer specific.

If you wish to configure these values you can enter them manually with the ACS announcement screens or you may run the provided /IN/service_packages/ACS/db/install/install_acs/acs_language_mappings.shconfiguration script as acs_oper.

ACS Global Control Plans

Global control plans are an optional feature that enable the telco to apply global call-screening to calls for all customers before the customer's control plans are applied. Global control plans are automatically assigned to the default customer, and therefore they are always owned by the telco.

Global control plans are associated with a specific service entry, so that they apply only to control plans of a selected type. Service entries are defined in the acs.conf configuration file for the Oracle Communications Convergent Charging Controller application. You specify whether a control plan is global when you save the control plan by giving it a name that corresponds to the service to which it applies.

For more information on using global control plans, see CPE User's Guide.
