2 New Features

The PCZ3.2.0 release delivers the following enhancements and new features to improve the functionality, look, and behavior of the Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker (OECB) software.

Support for an Increased Number of User Database Entries

As of PCZ3.2.0, the OECB User Database can contain up to one million entries.

Support for Call Admission Control and Access Control Lists

To improve security, you can restrict connections to the OECB with an access control list that limits access to peer nodes and management. The OECB also supports Admission Control for SIP session agents. Access Control determines which devices and agents can gain access and Call Admission Control determines where they can go in your network. When you enable the associated SNMP Trap Monitor, the OECB sends a trap message when a forbidden device or agent triggers the deny list. The OECB also works against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks with configurable overload protection. See the "Admission Control" chapter in the User Guide.

Support for Paginating the Display of User Database Entries

Prior to PCZ3.2.0 the OECB displayed the User Database entries in a single, continuous list that required you to scroll through the listings with no page breaks. In the PCZ3.2.0 release, you can set the OECB to display the list in pages of 50, 100, or 200 entries. You can set the page display with the Records per Page control, located at the bottom right-hand corner of the Users table. See "Configure a User Entry" in the User Guide.

Support for REST APIs

Version 1.1 of the REST API adds support for OECB P-Cz3.2.0. See REST API for Enterprise Communications Broker Release 3.2(REST API) for full standardized REST documentation.

Support for the Oracle X8-2 Server

The OECB supports the Oracle X8-2 server, factory-configured as follows.
  • One 24-core 2.4 GHz processor
  • One 64 GB Load Reduced Dual In-line Memory Module
