R-IM-SSF in action
The R-IM-SSF module provides support for protocol translation from INAP and CAP to SIP. The R-IM-SSF processes a call by acting as a B2BUA to the SIP-AS and by acting as an SCP to the SIS. The R-IM-SSF is invoked by a SIS composition, which may include other IN services to run. For example, in the following diagram we see that a service composition is using the R-IM-SSF to run SIP-based VPN services, in a composition with an IN-based OCS.
Installing the R-IM-SSF
Below are prerequisites and instructions for installing R-IM-SSF, with details for entering licenses and activation, and details for the SIS and the CDR resource adaptor entity.
Before you install …
Before installing the R-IM-SSF, make sure you have:
-
CDR RA — The R-IM-SSF uses the OpenCloud CDR RA to write a Call Detail Record per trigger. You must [download|DWNLD:CDR Resource Adaptor Download Page] and install the CDR pack, if you do not already have it, before you install the R-IM-SSF module. To install, uncompress the install archive in your
<rhino-home>.
 |
The R-IM-SSF requires CDR RA v 2.2.0. |
-
SIS — The R-IM-SSF requires both a SIS for SIP instance and a SIS for IN instance. Before it can be installed, you need to create a SIS instance that supports these protocols.The R-IM-SSF install only needs the name of the SIS instances it should bind to.
Installing …
To install R-IM-SSF:

Change into the module install directory ( $ cd modules/rimssf/1.4.0/install |
3 |
Run $ ./install-module.sh R-IM-SSF (version=1.4, release=00, build=20130129100554, revision=62832) ======================================================================== R-IM-SSF settings RIM-SSF license file to install ------------------------------- The R-IM-SSF 'right-to-use' license file. A license may already be installed, or you can install a license at a later point in time. If no license is present during install, however, the IM-SSF will need to be activated via the console RIM-SSF license file to install []: ... |
 |
In general, you can accept the default answers during installation (press RETURN). See also details for entering licenses and activation, and information for the SIS instances and CDR resource adaptor entity. |
Licenses and activation
The very first question during the R-IM-SSF installation asks you for a license file. If you have one, enter the path to it. If you don’t have a license file, or if you already have a valid license installed (perhaps as a part of your SIS license), then provide an empty response.
The installer will try to activate the R-IM-SSF at the end of the install process if it can. If it cannot, then it will print a message giving you some guidance.
| |
You can always install a license after the install process, and manually activate R-IM-SSF using the sis-console, with the rimssfactivate command. |
SIS instances
The R-IM-SSF needs to bind to both an IN and SIP instance. Below is an example of R-IM-SSF installer questions (and responses) about SIS instances. In the example, the SIS deployment being installed has been configured to support SIP (instance name is sis-sip) and IN (instance name is sis-in).
SIS-SIP instance name --------------------- The SIS-SIP instance the R-IM-SSF should use to connect to SIP AS's. This SIS instance must already be present in the SLEE. SIS-SIP instance name: sis-sip SIS-IN instance name -------------------- The SIS-IN instance the R-IM-SSF should use to connect to the IN. This SIS instance must already be present in the SLEE. SIS-IN instance name: sis-in
| |
Finding SIS instances
If you cannot recall the names of the resource adaptor entities in your SIS install, use the $ cd sis/2.5.0.0/admin $ ./sis-console Interactive Rhino Management Shell Rhino management console, enter 'help' for a list of commands [Rhino@localhost (#0)] listraentities sis-in sis-sip |
CDR resource adaptor entity
The R-IM-SSF will create its own CDR resource adaptor entity from the CDR RA that comes with the Rhino install the SIS is installed with. By default, this resource adaptor entity is configured using properties appropriate for functional testing (it writes one CDR file per session).
R-IM-SSF CDR Resource Adaptor properties ---------------------------------------- Properties for the R-IM-SSF CDRs. The default properties are suitable for functional testing. Please refer to the OpenCloud CDR Resource Adaptor documentation for configuration options. R-IM-SSF CDR Resource Adaptor properties [MaxLines=1,Directory=cdr,FilenamePattern=rimssf-cdr_%n_%t.log]:

Please refer to the CDR RA documentation for configuration options you wish to use in a production setting. |
Configuring the R-IM-SSF
The SIS administration interface is extended with a set of commands during the R-IM-SSF installation process.
If you use the sis-console help command to list the help categories, you will see three new categories:
[Rhino@localhost (#0)] help Available command categories: auditing Manage Rhino's auditing subsystem ... rimssf R-IM-SSF management operations rimssf-nic R-IM-SSF network initiated call management operations rimssf-svc R-IM-SSF service mapping management operations rimssf-ui R-IM-SSF user interaction management operations ... Enter help <category name | command name substring> for a list of available commands

Initial Triggering via the IN
The R-IM-SSF is triggered in the IN by the InitialDP initial request event.
Triggering the R-IM-SSF
-
The R-IM-SSF uses the
ServiceKeyof theInitialDPevent to find the address of the external SIP application server. -
The R-IM-SSF builds an
INVITE(and theSDPportion) and invokes the SIP application server.
| |
The R-IM-SSF requires that the InitialDP has at least a ServiceKey, a CallingPartyNumber, and a CalledPartyNumber (or CalledPartyBCDNumber for CAP O-BCSM triggers). |
The R-IM-SSF manages a number of profile tables that it uses to trigger a SIP application. The rimssf-configuration-profile-table contains global configuration information. This profile table typically contains only one profile, as the R-IM-SSF uses the same configuration information for all calls.
The R-IM-SSF uses records from three other configuration profile tables to determinate how to build the outgoing INVITE and which SIP application server to send it to:
-
rimssf-service-configuration-profile-table— external SIP application service configuration -
rimssf-invite-builder-profile-table— information to populate the headers in theINVITEmessage -
rimssf-sdp-builder-profile-table) — information to build theSDPportion of theINVITE.
The records in these three tables are indexed by service key. The ServiceKey from the incoming InitialDP is used to find the appropriate configuration information for the call.

Initial Triggering via SIP (Network Initiated Call)
The R-IM-SSF may also be triggered by an incoming INVITE request from the SIP network when a SIP-AS wishes to create a network initiated call in the IN.
| |
In order to establish a network initiated call, an IN protocol that supports such calls is required. Currently the only protocol supporting these types of calls that is also supported by the R-IM-SSF is Ericsson INAP CS1+. |
Identifying a network initiated call
A SIP-AS uses the principles specified in RFC 4579 s5.4 (Creating a Conference Using Ad-Hoc SIP Methods) to create a new network initiated call attempt in the IN. In order to identify an INVITE request that represents a new network initiated call attempt, the INVITE from the SIP-AS must contain a Request-URI that:
-
is a SIP URI
-
specifies a user of
conference-factory -
contains the URI parameter
oc-rimssf=conference.
The To header in the initial INVITE should identify the phone number of the first call party.
When the first call party answers the call, the R-IM-SSF will respond to the INVITE with a 200 OK. The Contact URI contained in this 200 OK identifies the call to the SIP-AS and must be used by the SIP-AS as the Request-URI or topmost Route header (when received by the R-IM-SSF) in subsequent INVITE requests that add further participants to the call. The To header in subsequent INVITE requests should again identify the phone number of the party to be added to the call.
Triggering the R-IM-SSF
The R-IM-SSF can be triggered in the SIS for a SIP network initiated call by checking for the presence of the required conference URI. For example, the following condition could be used in a SIS trigger to select a composition that invokes the R-IM-SSF for such a call:
<on-condition>
<and>
<equal a="${uri.user}" b="conference-factory"/>
<equal a="${uri.param.oc-rimssf}" b="conference"/>
</and>
</on-condition>
| |
R-IM-SSF install packages that include support for IN protocols that support network initiated calls include an example SIS trigger and composition that can be used to invoke the R-IM-SSF for a SIP network initiated call. |
Find the MSC
The R-IM-SSF general configuration includes a setting for the default MSC address (as an SCCP address) to use for network initiated calls. The R-IM-SSF provides the capability to override this default address on a per call basis using a SIS interceptor.
Once the interceptor completes (if relevant), the R-IM-SSF uses the final determined SCCP address as the destination address for a new outgoing IN dialog. The R-IM-SSF then builds the InitiateCallAttempt to send on this dialog.
| |
The R-IM-SSF rejects the call with a 500 Internal Server Error response if a valid MSC address cannot be determined. This can happen if no default MSC address is configured and an interceptor does not provide a suitable value. |
Build the InitiateCallAttempt
The R-IM-SSF uses information from the incoming INVITE to populate the fields of the InitiateCallAttempt request it sends to the MSC.
| Field | Source | Description |
|---|---|---|
DestinationRoutingAddress |
Request-URI |
The |
CallingPartyNumber |

The |
LegToBeCreated |
n/a |
The first leg created has a leg id of |
When converting a SIP URI address to an IN data value, the final address will have a format based on the international dialling prefix and country code settings provisioned in the general configuration.
Before sending the InitiateCallAttempt message, the R-IM-SSF invokes a SIS interceptor allowing additional fields to be populated in the message.
Once the InitiateCallAttempt has been sent to the MSC and routing of the new call begins, the R-IM-SSF sends a 183 Session Progress provisional response to the INVITE back to the SIP-AS.

Typical call flow
For a call initiated by the SIP network, this is a typical call flow.
-
An
INVITEfrom SIP-AS initiates the call. -
R-IM-SSF creates the new call in the IN network,using
InitiateCallAttemptto contact the A-party. -
The A-party answers; R-IM-SSF informs SIP-AS.
-
SIP-AS sends a second
INVITEfor the B-party. -
R-IM-SSF routes the call to the B-party.
-
The B-party answers; R-IM-SSF informs SIP-AS.
Once the A-party has answered the call and the SIP-AS has been notified, the call progresses in the same way as if the A-party had initiated the call in the IN and the R-IM-SSF had been triggered for that call by an InitialDP.
Interceptors for network-initiated Calls
The SIS does not automatically provide support for interceptors or other service interaction behaviour on dialogs created by SLEE applications. To solve this problem and allow interceptors to modify the messages it sends for network-initiated calls, the R-IM-SSF manually invokes interceptors for relevant outgoing messages. The R-IM-SSF supports interceptors that complete both synchronously and asynchronously, and will correctly maintain message ordering for interceptors that do complete asynchronously.
Below is a description of the interceptors the R-IM-SSF will try to invoke. All interceptors are given an OperationInvokeEvent[] as input, and the R-IM-SSF expects the interceptor output to be of the same type. An interceptor may modify the input argument as required, within any noted restrictions; however an interceptor must not include null elements in the output array, and all OperationInvokeEvent array elements must at least declare the operation to be invoked. The dialog, invokeId, and linkedId attributes of OperationInvokeEvents passed to and returned from an interceptor are unused and ignored by the R-IM-SSF.
| |
A callprocessing error will occur if an interceptor returns invalid output, leading to call termination. |

Example Call Flows
Below are some general and user-interaction example call flows illustrating R-IM-SSF behaviours.
| |
In the following diagrams, messages related to different SIP dialogs display in different colours to help interpret the call flows. To keep it simple, 100 Trying provisional responses and PRACK/200 OK messages for reliable provisional responses are not shown (though the R-IM-SSF does send or handle those messages as appropriate). |
General call flows
Below is the typical basic call flow for an IN-initiated call that is answered. The calling (A) party hangs up at call end.
| |
The R-IM-SSF sends both 180 Ringing and 200 OK on call answer if the IN protocol in use does not support an explicit alerting event detection point (EDP), as many SIP applications expect such a message sequence. |
Call alerting
The R-IM-SSF will arm the appropriate alerting event detection point (EDP) and handle the corresponding EventReportBCSM if the IN protocol in use supports it.
Forked SIP dialog - call setup
SIP dialog forking for parallel alerting is supported for IN protocols that provide call party handling operations. The call flow below illustrates call setup when the SIP dialog is forked.
Forked SIP dialog - call answered
Once a forked call leg answers, the leg is moved to the primary call segment (if necessary) and other legs are disconnected when the SIP-AS CANCELs the INVITEs.
Leg hold
Leg hold and resume is supported for IN protocols that provide call party handling operations. Below is the typical call flow for a leg hold procedure.
An attempt to place a leg on hold may fail or be rejected by the MSC for various reasons. In these cases, the R-IM-SSF will always respond to the re-INVITE with the same error response.
The R-IM-SSF will immediately reject an attempt to place a leg on hold when using an IN protocol that doesn’t provide call party handling operations.
User-interaction call flows
User interaction using direct mode
Below is the typical call flow for a pre-call announcement using direct mode. The call is allowed to proceed after the announcement completes.
User interaction using an assisting dialog
Below is the typical call flow for a pre-call announcement using assisting mode. The call is terminated after the announcement completes.
User interaction using a SIP MRF announcement device
Below is an example call flow for a pre-call announcement played using an MRF in the SIP network. The call is terminated after the announcement completes.
User interaction on call answer
Below is an example call flow for an announcement played to the B party as soon as they answer the call. The call leg is automatically placed on hold for this use case. This example shows the announcement played using an MRF in the SIP network, but the announcement could be played using any supported method.
Mid-call user interaction
Below is an example call flow for a mid-call announcement played to the B party. The target call leg must be placed on hold using a re-INVITE before beginning the announcement procedure if the announcement should only be played to the one call party. The call leg is returned from hold with another re-INVITE after the announcement completes. This example shows the announcement initiated using an ETC operation, but the announcement could be played using any supported method.
R-IM-SSF Statistics

Using the R-IM-SSF
Below are instructions for using the R-IM-SSF.
Including the RIM-SSF in a service composition
Before you can use the R-IM-SSF in a service composition you must create a service reference in your SIS IN instance. Use the sis-console command createlocalserviceref to do this (see 1 Creating Local Service References):
[Rhino@localhost (#1)] createlocalserviceref sis-in R-IM-SSF "name=R-IM-SSF,vendor=OpenCloud,version=1.4" Created service reference R-IM-SSF for local SLEE service ServiceID[name=R-IM-SSF,vendor=OpenCloud,version=1.4]
Supporting more than one R-IM-SSF use in a service composition
The rimssf-service-configuration-profile-table, rimssf-invite-builder-profile-table and rimssf-sdp-builder-profile-table tables are keyed on the ServiceKey. So, one can define many records in these tables with the ServiceKey = <value that corresponds to a service> and use a SIS signaling interceptor to update the ServiceKey in the InitialDP before the R-IM-SSF is triggered.
Rate limiting the R-IM-SSF
The R-IM-SSF defines a custom rate limiter endpoint, rimssf-triggers. By default this limiter endpoint is not associated with a limiter. You can create a limiter in the SIS using the sis-console, and associate it with the R-IM-SSF limiter endpoint if you wish.

Updated to cgin-connectivity 1.5.0-protocol-patches
R-IM-SSF SIS Module 1.4.0.4 * The main R-IM-SSF configuration profile has a new option that specifies if the R-IM-SSF will always send a Connect operation to route a call (the previous behaviour), or will send a Connect or Continue depending on whether or not the SIP-AS changes the A or B party numbers when forwarding the INVITE. * The prefix in a prefix announcement mapping is now stored in its original form as a string rather than being converted to a number. This means that any leading zeros are preserved, and also that the digits '#' and '*' can be used if necessary. * User interaction is now supported using an MRF if the MSC responds to an Establish Temporary Connection operation request with an MGCP INVITE. * Fixed issues with some R-IM-SSF management commands not working properly. * Fixed a NullPointerException when the R-IM-SSF is invoked if the Management Resource Adaptor is not active. * Fixed NullPointerException when attempting to raise an alarm after a CDR write failure.

Revised usage parameters collected by the R-IM-SSF. In particular, the "EndedByASCallsCounter" has been removed as it’s no longer easily possible in some cases to determine a specific reason for call termination.
