Personal Communication Manager Service Level

The Personal Communication Manager service is not supported in the current version but is included for future use.

The Personal Communication Manager Service Level object is a child of the Global Personal Communication Manager Service object. It defines how the MetaSwitch NE operates with a particular Personal Communications Manager (PCM) product on subscribers' PCs.

This object is included in the initial configuration delivered with the MetaSwitch NE, or can be created by a MetaSwitch support engineer; you cannot create or delete it. You can change the name of the Service Level, but all other fields can be modified only by a MetaSwitch support engineer.


While the Personal Communications Manager Service Level is disabled, no new registrations or registration refreshes from PCM programs using this service level will be accepted. Any PCM programs that are already registered using this service level can continue to operate as normal.
