Call Control Framework Integration
- About Call Control Framework Integration
  Call Control Framework Integration provides information about MATRIXX Call Control Framework support and configuration.
- MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF)
  MATRIXX Digital Commerce includes an integrated GSM Service Control Function to support call control capabilities for telephony services.
- Network Request Processing
  Call Control Framework (CCF) can allocate incoming requests to any processing blade within a customer sub-domain.
- Supported Message Sequences
  MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for message sequences using the Camel Application Part (CAP) protocol.
- Configuring MATRIXX Network Enabler
  This chapter describes how to configure MATRIXX Network Enabler.
- Configuring CAMEL Gateway
  CAMEL Gateway is a CAMEL Application Part (CAP) server. Configure CAMEL Gateway to allow communication between MATRIXX Engine and Network Enablers through the CAP protocols.
  - Alerts Configuration
    The alert database holds information about Call Control Framework (CCF) operations that require prompt attention. The alerts are a backup mechanism to handle cases when the mobile switching center (MSC) fails to perform an operation based on a request sent by MATRIXX Engine, such as releasing a phone connection when the reported time allotment has expired.
  - CAMEL Gateway General Configuration
    You can use configuration parameters in create_config.py to define general configuration for MATRIXX Camel Gateway.
  - Default CAMEL Gateway Configuration
    You can use configuration parameters in create_config.py to define default configuration for CAMEL Gateway.
  - CAMEL Gateway Link Configuration
    You can use configuration parameters in create_config.py to define links between CAMEL Gateway and MATRIXX Network Enablers.
  - CAMEL Gateway Routing Configuration
    You can use configuration parameters in create_config.py to define CAMEL Gateway routing configuration.
  - Voice Charging Configuration
    You can use configuration parameters in create_config.py to define Call Control Framework (CCF) voice charging configuration for mobile originating (MO) and mobile terminating (MT) services.
  - Normalization/Denormalization Rule Set Configuration
    You can use configuration parameters in create_config.py to define the rule sets used for normalizing or denormalizing phone numbers.
  - SMS Default Service Configuration
    You can use configuration parameters in create_config.py to define Call Control Framework (CCF) configuration for the SMS default service. Unless additional SMS service patterns have been defined with more specific selection rules, the SMS default service pattern is used for all CAP3 SMS transactions that start with InitialDPSMS where the called SCCP sub-system number is 146.
  - USSD Services Configuration
    You can use the configuration parameters in create_config.py to configure Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) services, including USSD menu and query services, and the default and additional USSD call back services.
  - Configuring Additional Voice and SMS Services
    Call Control Framework provides configuration options for configuring customized charging services for voice and SMS in addition to the basic charging services for voice and SMS.
  - Configuring CAMEL Gateway Advanced Options
    Enable CAMEL Gateway advanced options to enable additional configuration options.
  - Configure SCCP Calling Party Address
    Perform this task to configure the value used for the calling party address sent in Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP) messages.
  - SCCP Calling Party Address Configuration
    You can use configuration parameters in create_config.py to define calling party address fields output in Signaling Connection Control Part (SCCP) messages.
  - Using Normalizers
    You use phone number normalizers or string normalizers to compare a value in any MDC, for example, the phone number in a TCAP message, with a set of values stored in any MDC, such as an extended subscriber object or group object MDC to see if the set contains the exact same value.
  - Specifying MDC Fields to Supply Digits Sent in CCF Messages
    During pricing configuration, you can specify a reference to an MDC field when setting CCF phone number fields instead of entering a fixed value. During denormalization the specified MDC field (or an empty string if not present) is copied to the CCF phone number field.
  - Setting Type of Digits in CAP Operations
    You can use selective updates to set the type of digits field used in CAP operations sent by Call Control Framework (CCF).
- Configuring Correlation ID Length
  Call Control Framework (CCF) supports configurable correlation ID lengths. CCF handles 10 digit correlation ID lengths by default.
- Support for CAP1
  Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for processing roaming voice calls that use the CAP1 protocol.
- Charging for CS1 INAP Calls
  Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for processing and applying charging for voice calls that use the CS1 INAP protocol.
- Sending FurnishChargingInformation (FCI)
  You can configure Call Control Framework (CCF) to send FCI operations at specific points during call handling. CCF sends FCI operations to instruct the Mobile Switching Center (MSC), or service switching point (SSF), to add charging information to the call data record (CDR) for a call.
- Support for MT Call Forwarding
  When handling a mobile terminating (MT) call, CCF can forward the call to another number if the call is not answered, or the called number is busy.
- TCAP Handover and Relay Configuration
  Call Control Framework (CCF) can handover (relay) incoming TCAP messages to another platform if a subscriber can't be found in the MATRIXX database.
- Support for Announcements
  MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for playing pre-call announcements. The following topics describe CCF pre-call announcement functionality and explain how to configure CCF to play announcements.
- Support for USSD Services
  MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) supports making Mobile Application Part (MAP) Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) call out requests to deliver USSD notifications to a subscriber. CCF also supports USSD services for queries, call back, and interactive menus using MAP-Process-UnstructuredSS-Request messages, and MAP-UnstructuredSS-Request messages.
- Announcements (IVR) and USSD Menus
  Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for menu driven announcements using IVRs and interactive USSD service menus that provide subscribers with options for retrieving and updating their balances and account details.
- Apache FreeMarker Template Configuration
  You can configure Apache FreeMarker templates for handling Call Control Framework (CCF) services such as Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) query and call back services, and menu services using announcements or interactive USSD menus.
- Mobile Application Part (MAP) Call Outs
  MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support within the MATRIXX Charging Server for making MAP call out requests to an external platform in response to TCAP or Diameter messages that require them.
- Extending MAP Call Outs
  You can extend the data used in Mobile Application Part (MAP) call out requests and results to include customized private extension data in the extensionContainer parameter in MAP ATI (AnyTimeInterrogation) and MAP SRI (SendRoutingInfo) operations. This feature enables you to perform additional manipulation on the data that is sent and returned in MAP call outs, for example, to correct the digits dialed by a user when roaming.
- LDAP Call Out Service
  MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for making Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) call out requests to an LDAP server in response to TCAP or Diameter messages that require them.
- Call Out Response Data MDCs
  Call Control Framework (CCF) uses MATRIXX Data Containers (MDCs) to hold response data for Mobile Application Part (MAP) call outs and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) call outs for a call or a session.
