SummaInstall

Overview

This node, named "Summa," integrates with the Summa API to perform various operations related to telecommunications resources. Specifically, for the IMSI resource and the "Deactivate IMSI" operation, it allows users to deactivate a given IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) in the system. This is useful in scenarios such as suspending or terminating mobile subscriber services linked to an IMSI, for example when a SIM card is lost, stolen, or service needs to be temporarily halted.

Practical examples include:

• Deactivating an IMSI to prevent unauthorized network access.
• Managing subscriber lifecycle by disabling IMSIs that are no longer active.
• Automating telecom backend workflows where IMSI status changes are required.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the deactivation operation. The exact structure depends on the Summa API response but typically includes confirmation of the IMSI deactivation status, any error messages if applicable, and possibly metadata about the operation.

If the node supports binary data output, it would relate to any files or attachments returned by the API, but based on the provided code and context, this node primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

• Requires connection to the Summa API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
• Uses an HTTP client internally to communicate with the Summa backend.
• Depends on the Summa API version specified in the node description.
• No other external dependencies are indicated.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing IMSI value will cause the operation to fail.
  • Authentication errors if the API key credential is incorrect or expired.
  • Network connectivity problems preventing communication with the Summa API.
  • API rate limits or permission restrictions from the Summa backend.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication failures usually indicate invalid credentials; verify and update the API key.
  • Validation errors on the IMSI parameter suggest checking the format and presence of the IMSI input.
  • Timeout or network errors require checking internet connectivity and API endpoint availability.

Resolving these generally involves verifying input parameters, ensuring valid credentials, and confirming network access.
