PETER-SERVICE HEX HAS Equipment Control System

 

Purpose

The "HAS Equipment Control System" (PETER-SERVICE HEX) is aimed to control telecom equipment of a telco, such as switches, voice mail and prepaid systems.

Using PETER-SERVICE HEX allows to maximally separate the business logic providing control over services within the billing system from the details of interaction with the equipment.

Brief description

The PETER-SERVICE HEX receives requests for command execution both from external systems, via the HTTP protocol, and from the PETER-SERVICE BIS billing system via a special adapter.

A PETER-SERVICE HEX command is a configurable algorithm including the sequence of requests and conditional transitions. Each request may be either an action controlling the equipment, as a sequence of MML commands, or a query to the DBMS. Within a single command, the

PETER-SERVICE HEX allows to carry out the control over telecom equipment of different type, to check for actual statuses of subscribers' services in the billing system or at the switch. The configuring of the PETER-SERVICE HEX is done via the visual administrative interface, which allows to create, in the interactive mode, commands, algorithms to control the commands, requests, to configure the parameters for accessing the equipment.

The PETER-SERVICE HEX uses the capabilities of the PETER-SERVICE HAS application server with regard to providing control over telnet connections. The main protocol which is used to control over the equipment, is TELNET. To control the equipment which supports Q3, COM and other interfaces, special adapters are used.

Options

  • Dynamic generation of sequences of requests to the equipment;
  • Concurrent handling of multiple and varied equipment instances;
  • Providing additional checks for statuses of subscribers in the DBMS of the billing system at the time of command execution;
  • Automated after-failure reconnection and re-sending of requests to the equipment;
  • Multifunctional administrative interface to configure the system and to control its configurations;
  • Pre-testing of commands;
  • Creating complex commands covering a variety of tasks for controlling telecom services at different equipment;
  • Automated selection of available equipment instances.

Advantages

  • High performance;
  • Flexible configuring;
  • Advanced tracing, monitoring and troubleshooting tools;
  • Easy administering.
