scope:

The present document defines the interface used between the Call Management Server (CMS) and Provisioning Server (PS) for the exchange of service provisioning information. The interface employs a Web Service model. Specified in Web Service Description Language 1.1 (WSDL 1.1), the interface transports XML encoded objects within Simple Object Access Protocol 1.1 (SOAP 1.1) encoded messages over an HTTP 1.1 transport. This interface is secured via IPSec.

The data model transported upon this interface is specifically designed to be extensible, allowing incorporation of as yet undefined IPCablecom features and specific vendor extensions.

The scope of the present document is limited to the provisioning of an IPCablecom CMS by a single service provider. Additionally:

• The CMS provisioning interface is limited to the exchange of service activation data between the CMS and the PS. The interface between the PS and the back-office Operations Support System (OSS) is out of scope.

• CMS element management and network element provisioning (dial plans, etc.) are out of scope.

• Customer record creation/billing is considered part of the back-office OSS application and is currently out of scope.
