PCC-AF-Service Configuration
Mode Commands
An Application Function
(AF) provides Application (layer 7) proxies for client server applications.
It also provides enforcement of operator and subscriber QoS, Charging,
and Security policies to subscriber session and represents the network
element that supports applications that require dynamic policy and/or
charging control. In the IMS model, the AF is implemented by the
Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF).
Important: This
configuration mode is supported from StarOS Release 12.1 onward.
Mode
The PCC-AF-Service
Configuration mode provides a mechanism to IPCF to manage the external
interfaces required for media and application function management.
The PCC-AF-Service manages Rx interface
which would be based on the dictionary used.
Exec > Global Configuration
> Context Configuration > PCC AF Service Configuration
configure > context context_name > pcc-af-service service_name
Entering the above
command sequence results in the following prompt:
[context_name]host_name(config-imsapp-service)#
Important: The commands or keywords/variables
that are available are dependent on platform type, product version,
and installed license(s).
associate pcc-service
This command is used to associate a pre-configured PCC-Service with a
PCC-AF-Service for IPCF configuration.

Syntax
Syntax Description
associate pcc-service pcc_svc_name
[no] associate pcc-service
no
Removes/disassociate the configured PCC-service from this
PCC-AF-Service instance configured for IPCF configuration.
pcc_svc_name
Specifies the name of a pre-configured PCC-service configured in
Context Configuration mode for IPCF configuration.
The
pcc_svc_name is name of a predefined
PCC-Service instance and must be an alphanumerical string from 1 through 63
characters.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to associate a pre-configured PCC-Service instance
for IPCF configuration.
Important:
For more information on PCC-Service configuration, refer
PCC-Service Configuration Mode Commands.
Examples
Following command binds a PCC-Service named
pcc_svc1 with in a PCC-AF-Service.
associate pcc-service pcc_svc1
Following command removes an associated PCC-Service named
pcc_svc1 from a PCC-AF-Service.
no associate pcc-service pcc_svc1
diameter dictionary
This command is used to assign a Diameter dictionary for
Rx messaging with a PCC-AF-Service for IPCF configuration.

Syntax
Syntax Description
diameter dictionary {r8-standard | standard}
default diameter dictionary
default
Sets the Diameter
Rx dictionary to default dictionary
r8-standard (3GPP Rel. 8 standard) for a
PCC-AF-Service instance configured for IPCF configuration.
r8-standard
Default: Enabled
Sets the Diameter
Rx dictionary to be used by a PCC-AF-Service instance configured
for IPCF configuration over
Rx interface to 3GPP Rel. 8 standard.
standard
Default: Disabled
Sets the Diameter
Rx dictionary to be used by a PCC-AF-Service instance configured
for IPCF configuration over
Rx interface to 3GPP Rel. 7 standard.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure the PCC-AF-Service to determine which of
the 3GPP dictionary to be used for
Rx interface messaging for media and application function
management.
Examples
Following command sets the PCC-AF-Service to use 3GPP Rel. 8 standard
dictionary for
Rx interface and application function management related
messaging in a PCC-AF-Service.
default diameter dictionary
diameter origin end-point
This command is used to bind/associate a pre-configured Diameter
host/realm (AF) over
Rx interface with a PCC-AF-Service to be used for subscriber
service control and AF profile management.

Syntax
Syntax Description
diameter origin endpoint dia_endpoint_name
no diameter origin endpoint
no
Removes the associated Diameter Origin Endpoint configuration from
PCC-AF-Service instance configured for IPCF configuration.
any
Sets the PCC-AF-Service instance to use any available AF node over
Rx interface for AF support.
dia_endpoint_name
The
dia_endpoint_name is a predefined Diameter
origin endpoint node and must be an alphanumerical string from 1 through 63
characters.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to bind the AF node over
Rx interface by associating a pre-configured Diameter Origin
Endpoint with a PCC-AF-Service.
The Diameter origin endpoint must be a pre-configured instance in the
Context Configuration Mode. For more information on Diameter origin endpoint
configuration, refer
Diameter Endpoint Configuration Mode Commands chapter.
Examples
Following command associates a pre-configured Diameter endpoint node
configuration named
af_pcscf1 with a PCC-AF-Service for AF
profile management.
diameter origin endpoint af_pcscf1
Following command removes the pre-associated Diameter endpoint node
configuration named
af_pcscf1 with a PCC-AF-Service.
no diameter origin endpoint
