sim card management system ppt

This chapter describes how to manage SIM card inventory in your Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) system by using SIM Manager and SIM Administration Center.

Important:
SIM Manager and SIM Administration Center are optional components, not part of base BRM.
You need to manage SIM card inventory when you offer GSM services. For information about GSM Manager, see "About Integrating Wireless Services".

Before using SIM Manager and SIM Administration Center, you need to know the following information:

Basic BRM concepts. See BRM Concepts.

BRM system architecture. See "BRM System Architecture" in BRM Concepts.

How to create and edit BRM configuration files. See "Using Configuration Files to Connect and Configure Components" in BRM System Administrator's Guide.

About Managing SIM Cards
To manage SIM cards, you use the following components:

SIM Manager includes the opcodes and storable classes required for creating and managing SIM card devices in the BRM database.

SIM Administration Center is a GUI application that you use to create and process SIM card orders, and to change SIM card brand and network element.

You use Customer Center to assign and manage SIM cards in customer accounts. For more information, see information about working with GSM accounts in the Customer Center Help.

About Creating SIM Cards
Use SIM Administration Center to order SIM cards from a vendor. For complete instructions on using SIM Administration Center, see the SIM Administration Center Help.

To order SIM cards:

Create an order in SIM Administration Center.

The order is stored in the BRM database and can be updated or canceled.

Create one or more vendor request files. This file specifies the quantity of SIM cards, the starting SIM card and IMSI numbers, and the SIM card attributes, such as the carrier name and SIM card format. This text file follows the standard GEMPLUS file format for SIM card orders.

Vendor request files cannot specify more than 5000 SIM cards. If you create an order for more than 5,000 cards, the order is automatically divided into multiple files. For example, if you create an order for 50,000 SIM cards, SIM Administration Center creates 10 vendor request files of 5,000 SIM cards each. (See "About SIM Card Request and Response Files".)

You can create a maximum order of 499,995,000 SIM cards, which would create 99,999 vendor request files.

You can change the default values for maximum quantity of SIM cards in an order and maximum number of SIM cards in a request file. See "Customizing SIM Administration Center".

Send the vendor request files to the vendor. You can use any file transfer method, such as FTP or email.

Receive the vendor response files and process them in SIM Administration Center. This creates a /device/sim object for each SIM card.
