Config Set

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
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.

Description
Config Set type Create Type of the Config Set. Values:
  • Basic (default)
    RPS uses the routing actions, routing tables and routing entries, as configured by the user.
  • No LNP lookup (North America only)
    RPS should use special code to calculate routes in a North American telephone network without performing LNP lookup.
  • LNP lookup (North America only)
    RPS should calculate routes in a North American telephone network by performing LNP lookup.
  • UK routing
    RPS should use special code to calculate routes in a UK telephone network.
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:
  • Transit calls allowed
    The MetaSwitch NE can support transit calls.
Initial Routing Table Change Initial Routing Table for each routing operation. Select from the displayed list of currently enabled child Routing Tables. As a short-cut to select the Routing Table, you can type match details into the field and click on the search button to select from a list of items that match these details. Match details can be a text string, a wildcard string such as B*, a range such as CA-FL, an index value such as =3, or an index range such as =1-20. For more details, refer to the description of the Details panel in Operations Manual: Overview.

  • Pre-paid / off-switch calling card subscriber
    If the subscriber uses a pre-paid or off-switch calling card service, calls from this subscriber are always routed using trunk routing (to allow checking with the pre-paid billing database). The default is to force trunk routing for these subscribers.
Ready for use Read only Specifies whether the Config Set is ready for use as the active Config Set. Values:
  • True
    The Config Set is ready for use.

  • Attend To Dependent
    Attention Required elsewhere - another object on which this object depends is not operating normally.
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:
  • Clear
    No alarms are currently raised.
  • Attention Required
    Attention Required - one or more child objects are not operating normally, and need operator intervention.
  • Attend To Dependent
    Attention Required elsewhere - another object on which one or more child objects depend is not operating normally.

  • Failed
Import - mode Change Whether the imported information is to replace existing EMS objects or to add new ones. This field provides additional checking on the import operation if required. Values:
  • Do not overwrite
    The imported information is to add new objects. If the file contains objects that already exist in the EMS, the import operation will fail and will not overwrite them.
  • Do not create
    The imported information is to update existing objects. If the file contains objects that do not already exist in the EMS, the import operation will fail and will not create them.
  • Overwrite or create
    No checking. The import operation will create or update objects as required.
Import - file Change The name of the text file (in the EMS User's home directory on the EMS Server) from which configuration information for this object will be imported. The maximum length of the filename is 32 characters.

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:

  • Failed
    Export failed. Check the Export - log correlator field for more details.
  • Partially failed
