When working with the Upstream Interface tab, see the following topics:

Details Tab

Use the Details tab to view and edit the parameters.

Field Use

Name

Modify the name (label) of a parameter to match a parameter that will come from upstream.

Default

Specify an optional default value for an upstream parameter. If the upstream parameter does not have a value, the default is supplied to ASAP.

Description

Modify or provide a description for a parameter.

Data Type

Select to modify the data type for a parameter. Valid types include integer, string, boolean, and so on.

Required

Lookup Map Tab

Use the Lookup Map tab to display how the selected upstream interface parameter is used in different lookups for further data processing. For example in a mobile scenario, for a given MSISDN value, the SRT may need to perform a database lookup to determine which HLR to send the work order to or possibly split the MSISDN into country code, operator code, and the number parameters for use with a particular service action. See "Configuring Lookups" for information on creating lookups.
