2 Base Feature Nodes

Overview

Introduction

This chapter describes the Oracle Communications Convergent Charging Controller Base feature nodes. Base feature nodes form the fundamental outline of a control plan. They are the feature nodes that are essential to call routing, but do not provide any additional call processing.

Available Feature Nodes

Base Feature Nodes List

This table lists the available Base feature nodes.

Node name Node description
Attempt Termination

The Attempt Termination node will attempt to terminate the call to a specified Termination Number but, if for some reason cannot terminate it to that number correctly, it takes a branch determined by the status of the call so that (for example) call diversion can be performed by the next node.

Shortcut keys: Alt+A

Control Plan Notes

Allows you to place notes on the CPE canvas. The note box can be expanded or contracted by clicking and dragging the resizing handle in the bottom right hand corner of the feature node.

Note: There is no feature node icon for this, just a yellow box for entering notes.

Disconnect Call

Plays tone or message to the caller and disconnects the call.

Shortcut keys: Alt+R

Dynamic Switch Takes a specific exit which can be specified in the node edit dialog and which may be overridden by dialing a management control plan.
End

Signifies the end of the control plan branch.

Shortcut keys: Alt+E

Junction

Use the Junction feature node to collect all incoming feature node connections into a single exit point.

The usefulness is being able to position this feature node in a strategic position to move connecting lines clear of other feature nodes, thus making it easier to see what the control plan is doing.

Proportional Distribution

Routes set proportions of the calls down each exit.

Shortcut keys: Alt+D

Sleep The Sleep node allows time for background tasks to complete before proceeding to the next step in the control plan.
Start

The start node must be the first node in the control plan.

Shortcut keys: Alt+S

Terminate Unchanged Tells the switch to continue, which normally results in the call being terminated to the number originally dialed.
Unconditional Termination

Directs the call to be terminated to a specified termination number.

Shortcut keys: Alt+U
