You can use the SIS REM module to view, remove, configure, activate, deactivate, repair, or create external platforms.

Note
What are SIS external platforms?

An external platform definition describes the properties of an external service usable in a SIS composition. It includes:

  • a name, used as a unique identifier for the external platform definition

  • zero or more IN SCCP addresses, providing the network address of IN nodes where the service can be found

  • zero or more SIP URI addresses, providing the network address of IP nodes where the service can be found

  • an address selection mode (round-robin, load-share, or active-standby), which indicates how multiple addresses should be used by the SIS.

For details, see Managing External Platforms in the SIS Administration Guide.
