A) Trust and Security management

The applications first point of contact with the Framework
provider.
A bi-directional authentication process to select a security
mechanism and ensure the identity of both the 3rd party
(application) and network operator.
A mechanism for the application to sign a service
agreement on-line for a selected service.
 Parlay Framework 2

B) Service Discovery
Enables 3rd parties to search for services which match
their requirements or request a list of all presently
registered services.
 Parlay Framework 3

C) Service Registration
Allows Parlay services to be registered with the framework
before they can be offered to a 3rd party via the Discovery
interface.

D) Service Subscription
Allows subscription to the relevant services identified
through Discovery.
 Parlay Framework 4

E) Integrity Management

Call Control is separated into three interfaces which build functionality by inheritance :
basic: simple call set-up interface for todays public circuit switched networks
generic: extends the basic interface to support circuit and packet switched networks
as well enabling call leg manipulation and routing to multiple terminating legs
enhanced: interface supports conferencing (moving legs between calls)

A Parlay application can send, store and receive messages, manipulating messages on voice mail,
sms and e -mail servers. Parlay applications use the following objects to model the actions of the
underlying resources;
mailboxes - its first point of contact with a messaging system
folders - always Inbox and Outbox but Parlay allows sub-folders to be addressed and created
messages - can be stored in or retrieved from folders by the Parlay application

Mobility in Parlay can provide value-add services via interoperation between location
services and mobile networks by:
requesting user status information,including the current state and type of the user
terminal.
exploiting a mobile user location service by obtaining geographical information
(using a GPS service) or information about the network which the user is in, such as
Visiting Location Register or identification of the users current cell.

Provider Network

The Connectivity Manager service provides tools for the Enterprise operator to set up
an agreed Quality of Service (QoS) profile between itself and the provider network for
communications within that network.
It uses templates partly drawn up by the network provider to add its own QoS
requirements for a series of addresses (service access points) which the Enterprise shall
want to inter-connect, for instance to conference between multiple local area networks.
Enterprise requirements : Delay, loss, jitter and surplus traffic treatment agreements.

ZXUP10 App-server
Application server is responsible for logic execution and
management of various value-added services and intelligent (IN)
services. It is the service operation platform realize the separation
of service and call control and allow easy development of new
services.

ZXUP10 PARLAY GateWay

Offer mapping from Parlay API to H.248, MGCP, and SIP. To
support intelligent calls, the ZXUP10 provides mapping from
PARLAY API to INAP, CAP, and MAP. Provides the third party
opened applications with security authentication and authorization
based on PARLAY.
 ZXUP10 equipment overview

ZXUP10 Media server

It provides the media processing functionality in the basic and
enhanced services, including communication function,
management and maintenance function, and rich resource
functions such as collection and decoding of DTMF signals,
generation and transmission of signal tones, announcement play,
conferencing, and conversion between different decoding
schemes.

ZXUP10 TTS(text to speech) server

It converts words into media stream and then transfers the media
stream to the media server before the media server plays the
stream to users.
