Prerequisite features

SubscriberDataLookup

The Subscriber Validity feature performs a check that a subscriber is within a validity period within two inclusive dates. If the start date is not present, all dates prior to the end date are considered valid. If the end date is not present, then all dates from the start date are considered valid.

The validity dates are set on a per-subscriber basis.

If the current date at session initiation is within the valid period for the subscriber, the feature will have no effect on the call.

If the current date at session initiation is outside the valid period for the subscriber, the feature will release the call.

OCS interface

This feature has no interaction with the OCS (except for preventing the initial credit check by releasing the session).
