Provisioning
Provisioning is the logical connection between a fleet member MS and the functions
and services available on the iDEN system. Each MS is provisioned for unique IDs,
areas of service, types of services and fleets, groups. This information not only
controls service, it is often directly related to billing and revenues for the system.
Provisioning is a data entry function that is usually associated with the service
provider’s Administrative Data Center (ADC). Provisioning is discussed in greater
detail in DAP ADC and Billing Interface 68P81130E99, DAP Operator Manual
68P81131E03 and DAP Software Dev Manual 68P81130E44.
Domain
The optional domain may be used control fleet mobility in the region. The fleet and
service areas are defined in the D-HLR. Individual fleets can be included or excluded
from the coverage based on the DAP defined domain. By restricting the available
service areas and DAPs, the services transferred between the D-VLRs can prevent
services in specific areas.
Service Area
Like domains the data entered in the MS’ D-HLR records at the DAP can define the
coverage of a Fleet, Group, Member (MS) within a specific area. Since MSs may
belong to multiple groups in a fleet, this allows greater flexibility to in private and
group calling at the MS level.
Fleet
The Fleet is the major logical unit used to define the range and services. As a
business unit, the fleet is often considered the major subscriber for logical and billing
purposes. Each fleet consists of groups and members. Members may also be
considered subscribers associated with the fleet services and groups. How the fleet
and user members are defined is controlled by the D-HLR and D-VLR of the DAPs.
Group
Fleet groups are specific to fleet.
Member
Services can be further refined on an individual MS basis. How the fleet users
(members) are defined is controlled by the D-HLR and D-VLR of the DAPs.
