Elements of Oracle Communications Core Session Manager and SLRM Configuration

Oracle Communications Core Session Manager software is deployed as either the CSM or the SLRM component, as configured with the set component command. Each component consists of multiple configuration elements. This guide presents these elements, separating them along conceptual category with chapters roughly equating to configuration sequence. This section lists configuration elements, providing the reader with a consolidated picture of overall product configuration for both components.

Oracle documents this product using an Essentials model, which results in a unique OCUSM Essentials Guide document, and refers to the OCSBC Documentation Set for additional, related components, features and procedures. The documentation set, listed in the front matter of this document, provides configuration information across all session control products. The OCUSM and OCCSM filter out configuration elements, sub-elements and parameters that do not apply to themselves, preventing you from performing invalid configuration procedures.

See the Base Configuration Elements Appendix for minimal configuration setting examples that establish an operable OCCSM or OCSLRM.
