Subscriber Source

A comma-separated list of subscriber sources from the initial incoming network request (IDP). The subscriber sources are searched for, in list order, and the first source that is found is used to determine the subscriber that the call is primarily associated with (normally for charging). Valid values are:

imsi — The iMSI parameter from the IDP.
redir — The redirectingPartyID parameter from the IDP.
origcalled — The originalCalledPartyID from the IDP.
calling — The callingPartyNumber from the IDP.
called — The calledPartyNumber from the IDP.

create_config.info question: Camel Gateway:VCS my_voice_service:What subscriber sources are required for this service?

imsi

TCAP End Type

Sets the service behavior at the end of an open TCAP transaction when there are no outstanding messages to send. The CAMEL default behavior is prearranged end. However, for switches that do not use this, you can set to end the transaction by canceling (TCAP abort) or by sending an empty TCAP end. Valid values are:

1 — Prearranged end
2 — TCAP Abort
3 — Empty TCAP end
