DSA (Dynamic SIM Allocation)

dsa: Just for sim activation.(provisioning and activation)

GUI : Track the information
TM: any kind of service activation like 3g 4g, just for all other features.
RM : Rm is the repository for sim's. Msisdn, imsts which are collectly know as
resources.
Mantain the resource and state information in oracle database.

Subscriber The customer of Vodafone who has purchased a SIM and

interacts with DSA to complete their activation
First Use Activation The detection by the DSA First Use Register of a new SIM
card using DSA specific temporary identifiers to attach to Vodafone India's
network,
and the completion of DSA processing logic
triggered by such detection and relating to the SIM card in question.
MSISDN_T For every SIM attempting to attach to DSA, DSA needs
to assign a temporary MSISDN for the network attach to complete.
This MSISDN is known as the MSISDN_T.
The MSISDN_T is associated with the profile on
the VLR.
The MSISDN_T is allocated to SIMs during
network attach, from a pool of available MSISDNs for this purpose managed by DSA.
IMSI_T This is the IMSI initially put on the SIM card
at manufacture.
It is in the range configured in the signalling
network to result in routing to the DSA system, rather than a HLR as normal.
It is a normal IMSI in the range assigned to
the operator
MSISDN_D The permanent MSISDN assigned to the SIM.
IMSI_D The permanent IMSI assigned to the SIM, this
enables the SIM to attach to the Vodafone network for normal usage

First Use Register The FUR is a network platform that permits the
registration and authentication of a SIM card to the network using a temporary IMSI

(placed on the card at point of

manufacture) which is from a different range to those routed towards the usual HLRs
used by Vodafone.
This platform requires integration to the
Vodafone SS7 network using SIGTRAN.
The FUR is supplied with appropriate
interconnection interfaces to the rest of the DSA solution.
((This component allows a new SIM card
with an IMSI within a specific range (not used by other HLRs) to register on the
network and
use SMS facilities Handles
authentication of the SIM and acts as a gateway for Menu Server to interact with
the SIM.))
(((Detects first use of new SIM, Assigns
temporary profile, Triggers dynamic allocation process)))
DSA Direct Authentication The DDA component permits SIMs to authenticate with
the network during first use without the use of an external third-party AUC
platform.

Task Management TM provides various services such as network

element query/provisioning, and updating the SIM.
TM provides flexible logic and routing
rules to integrate and combine DSA components and external network systems.
The various interfaces to external
systems are described in the following section.
(((Communicates between RM and MS,
Interacts with other OSS/BSS systems )))
SIM Ordering Module DSA supports SIM card ordering with a graphical
user interface.
This interface supports the full workflow
of SIM card ordering.
SIM ordering includes the ability to
configure the system to alert when SIMs are running low and support for the entire
SIM order lifecycle.
This lifecycle begins with the creation
of orders, review and approval (or rejection)of the returned data files from the
SIM manufacturer, and receipt of the SIM cards to complete the process.

Resource Management RM acts as a store for SIM information along

with available MSISDNs/IMSIs that may be assigned to customers.
 It further provides the ability to attach
a tag to certain numbers indicating that they are of greater value than others
(e.g. numbers with repeating digit sequences etc.).
RM is designed specifically to allow for
optimized number searching based on random digit sequences to meet the criteria for
real time activations. RM would be supplied with the relevant batch load.

DSA Flexi Dashboard DSA Dashboard component presents, in a browser-

accessible GUI, a collection of information and statistics on the operation of DSA,
giving both technical and business perspectives on the operation of the system.

Resource Management This manages the available pool of definitive

MSISDNs and IMSIs that may be allocated to SIM cards along with information related
to them. Supports number selection and reservation.

Menu Server This component holds a configured set of menus

along with routes through them to be presented to subscribers during first use.
Where the internal configuration cannot
fully satisfy a request (e.g. to present a list of numbers) Task Management is
consulted to provide the additional information.

TNM we define the mg-t range.

PO Purchange order we puchange the sim in filp card then we will get the
order number;After purchase order then will get one input file will be generated .

Menu Server Manages and provides a configurable set of

menus, Coordinates steps in the dynamic allocation process
Resource Management Manages temporary and definitive numbers,
Supports number selection and reservation
