Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

As part of this procedure, you will determine the session numbers to assign to the new inband carousels. When
determining a session number to assign to the inband carousel, the number must meet the following
requirements:



The number must be an even number. (our numbering convention uses even numbers for inband

carousels and odd numbers for out-of-band carousels.)



The number must be higher than 200. (Numbers 1 to 200 are reserved for system-built sessions.)



The number must be one that is not currently in use as a source ID (in the Source List) or as a session

ID (in the Inband Data PAT table).



If you are using our RCS solution and the third-party application will be used by more than one site, the

number must be one that is not currently in use as a source ID (in the Source List) or as a session ID
for any site that will use the application (Inband PAT table for each site that will use the application).

Follow these steps to determine the session numbers to assign to the new inband carousels and to then add the
new inband carousels to the PAT.
