The REM HSS Transparent Data Editor lets you use a web browser to view and edit HSS transparent user data.
How it works
The web interface communicates with a web application hosted by Rhino Element Manager, which communicates with the HSS through Diameter Sh. Administrators can use it to:
-
view provisioned data
-
configure important settings
-
add new data to the HSS
-
remove data from the HSS.
Prerequisites
Before using the editor, you need to configure:
-
an appropriate HSS configuration for the network operator
-
required settings for MMTel services. *
