API Control Method

The API Control method enables programmatic management of SIM throttling or whitelisting via API interactions. This method requires support configuration for allocation of PCRF/PCF ID options and for access to specific tables governing throttling speed. With this method, users can set up notifications via HTTP push or email when usage limits are approached.The API Control method enables programmatic management of SIM throttling through API interactions. This method requires support configuration for allocation of PCRF ID options and for access to specific tables governing throttling speed. With this method, users can set up notifications via HTTP push or email when usage limits are approached.

To implement the API Control method, make sure you fulfil these basic requirements:

  1. Prepare and Configure IMSI Ranges: This step enables users to identify subscribers, manage data usage and apply different rules based on their usage or plans.
  2. Request for PCRF Configuration: Contact floLIVE support to configure PCRF ID options essential for API control.
  3. Access PCRF/PCF Tables: Utilize the tables provided by the support team to define throttling speed configurations. For example, PCRF/PCF ID=1 is high speed data, while PCRF/PCF ID=8 is low speed 256 Kb/s).
  4. Execute API Calls: Use the appropriate API calls with the PCRF IDs provided to set up throttling per your requirements.
  5. Create Notification Rules: Set rules for notifications, ensuring HTTP push is configured to trigger when thresholds are met.
