Services Page Display and Operations
In the Oracle® Intelligent Communication Orchestration Network , you configure Services as logical objects that connect carriers to the voice, video, and media streaming services you use. The Services page provides tools to configure and manage SIP Trunk connections.
The Services page initially displays no information because there are no SIP Trunk Services configured. As you configure SIP Trunk Services, the page builds and displays a map of your services with a table listing attributes for each one. The following screen capture shows an example of the Services map with carriers on the left and media services on the right. The map will show all your connections, but you may have to move it with your mouse to see them all when there are many. The Services page displays the menu icon at the top-left and the Add Service button at the top-right.
