The Config Set objects are children of the Trunk Routing and Policy Services object.
Each Config Set object defines a consistent set of Number Validation and Routing parameters for Routing and Policy Services. The Config Set defines the initial Routing Table and a default Attribute Set and initial Number Validation Table for each called address type.
At any time, only one Config Set can be selected for use by Trunk Routing and Policy Services. You cannot modify this selected object or perform any actions on it. However, you can create an additional Config Set with the new parameters you want to use, either by creating it as a new object or by copying an existing Config Set and modifying the parameters as required. You can then activate it (which performs consistency checks to verify that the parameters you have specified are appropriate), and modify Trunk Routing and Policy Services to select the new Config Set.

A Config Set must have Ready for use set to True before that Config Set can be selected for use by the active Trunk Routing and Policy Services. In order to make the Config Set Ready for use, it must contain a Digit Map with the same name as each Digit Map in the active Config Set that is in use by one or more Subscriber Groups. If Trunk Routing and Policy Services is not active, the selected Config Set need not be ready for use, but Trunk Routing and Policy Services cannot be activated until the selected set is ready for use. |
Object-Specific Actions | |
Import | To import configuration information from a previously exported text file for a Digit Map, Routing Table or Number Validation Table that is a child of this Config Set, click on the 'Import' pushbutton. See MetaSwitch Class 5 Softswitch Operations Manual: Overview for more details of importing configuration information. Note that you cannot import the configuration while the Config Set is active. |
Export | To export the configuration of this Config Set and its child Digit Maps, Routing Tables and Number Validation Tables to a text file, click on the 'Export' pushbutton. See MetaSwitch Class 5 Softswitch Operations Manual: Overview for more details of exporting configuration information. |
Copy | To create a new Config Set with the same configuration as this one, together with its child Digit Maps, Routing Tables and Number Validation Tables, click on the 'Copy' pushbutton. The EMS will create and display the new object. The only field not copied from the existing object is Config Set name; you can then specify a new name to identify the new object. |
Parameter |
Access |
Description |
Config Set type | Create | Type of the Config Set. Values:
|
Config Set name | Change | An optional name to identify the Config Set. Specify a name of up to 64 characters. If you create a new Config Set by copying an existing one, this field is left blank in the new object, but you can fill in a new name after creating it. |
Config Set usage | Change | Specifies whether the Config Set allows the MetaSwitch NE to support transit calls (calls that are routed from one network to another through the NE and do not originate or terminate at a MetaSwitch subscriber). If required, select the following value:
|
Initial Routing Table | Change | Initial Routing Table for each routing operation. Select from the displayed list of currently enabled child Routing Tables. |
Routing Table - remote LNP lookup | Change | This field is not valid in the UK. |
Number Validation Table - dialed digits | Change | Initial Number Validation Table to use if the called address is a dialed digits address. Select from the displayed list of currently enabled Number Validation Tables or select None for no validation of dialed digit addresses. The default is None. |
Attribute Set - dialed digits | Change | Initial Attribute Set to apply if the called address is a dialed digits address. Select from the displayed list of currently enabled Attribute Sets. These attributes will override attributes received in the routing request and will be used in number validation decisions. Select None if you do not want to update any attributes. |
Number Validation Table - E.164 addresses | Change | Initial Number Validation Table to use if the called address is an E.164 address. Select from the displayed list of currently enabled Number Validation Tables or select None for no validation of E.164 addresses. The default is None. |
Attribute Set - E.164 addresses | Change | Initial Attribute Set to apply if the called address is an E.164 address. Select from the displayed list of currently enabled Attribute Sets. These attributes will override attributes received in the routing request and will be used in number validation decisions. Select None if you do not want to update any attributes. |
Number Validation Table - carrier IDs | Change | Initial Number Validation Table to use to validate a carrier ID. Select from the displayed list of currently enabled Number Validation Tables or select None for no validation of carrier IDs. The default is None. |
Attribute Set - carrier IDs | Change | Initial Attribute Set to apply before validating a carrier ID. Select from the displayed list of currently enabled Attribute Sets. These attributes will override attributes received in the routing request and will be used in any number validation decisions performed by the carrier table. Select None if you do not want to update any attributes. |
Number Validation Table - post Authorization Code collection | Change | This field is not used in the UK. |
Force trunk routing | Change | Specifies whether calls from subscribers with specific routing attributes should always be routed using trunk routing rather than local routing. If required, select the following value:
|
Ready for use | Read only | Specifies whether the Config Set is ready for use as the active Config Set. Values:
|
Alarm state | Read only | Specifies whether any alarms are currently raised for this object. Values:
|
Alarm log correlator - Attention Required | Read only | Identifier of the log message for the event that caused the last Attention Required alarm state for this object. This field is reset when the Attention Required alarm events field is reset to zero. |
Attention Required alarm events | Read only / Reset | Number of times (since the alarm count was reset) that this object's alarm state has gone to Attention Required. |
Alarm state changed timestamp | Read only | The time at which the Alarm state last changed. |
Alarm events reset timestamp | Read only | The time at which the Attention Required alarm events was last reset to zero. |
Trunk Routing Attend To Dependent alarms | Read only | The total number of Attend To Dependent alarms for the Trunk Routing child object (and its child objects). |
Trunk Routing Attend To Dependent alarm events | Read only / Reset | The total number of times that the alarm state for the Trunk Routing child object (or one of its child objects) has gone to Attend To Dependent. |
Summary child alarm state | Read only | Summarizes the alarm status for all children of this object. Values:
|
Import - number of objects imported | Read only | The total number of objects (including child objects) read from the import file so far in the current or most recent import operation. |
Import - status | Read only | The status of the current or most recent import operation, if any. Values:
|

|

Import - log correlator | Read only | If the import status is Failed, this field contains a correlator for the log message that contains details of the failure. Click on the 'go to log' button next to this field to jump to this message in the EMS log viewer window. |
Import - correlator metaswitch | Read only | If the import status is Failed, this field contains the name of the EMS Server or MetaSwitch Network Element that generated the failure log. You may need this information to find the log in the EMS log viewer window. |
Export - number of objects exported | Read only | The total number of objects (including child objects) written to the export file so far in the current or most recent export operation. |
Export - status | Read only | The status of the current or most recent export operation, if any. Values:
